WWE MITB REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Peacemaker, I'm sorry Cena is back and you can't see him
What a big fight feel the main event of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, which took place last night (Sun, July 18, 2021) In Texas
Roman Reigns got the better of Edge in their first lock up. But the second time, Edge slapped Reigns in the face. The crowd cheered for Edge there. Reigns had a dominating shoulder tackle and the crowd showered him with boos.
Edge worked on Reigns’ left arm and and threw him into the ring post and Paul Heyman shouted at him to teach Edge about fear. What a great moment.
Reigns baited Edge into a Samoan Drop outside the ring and he then broke the count to attack Edge again.
Reigns kept it to the outside and threw him around the ring area. He got mad that Edge would disrespect him and kick out, so he gave Edge a flurry of stiff elbows to the head and threw him into the ring post.
Reigns kept wearing Edge down and Edge was trying to power out, but Edge tried powering out. Reigns trash talking has survived out of the ThunderDome era thankfully and he screamed at the crowd “Don’t clap!” But they did and he was able to power out, and into an elbow to knock him down again.
Edge countered a Superman punch into a backslide for a near fall. He got a great clothesline in and another near fall. He got Reigns up on the top turnbuckle and slammed his head on the top of the ring post.
Edge locked in a cross face minus the piece of the chair of course and man did they tease a tap out there. Edge’s face went to that really crazy place that looks legitimately frightening and he set up a spear, but Reigns countered into a Guillotine. He started fading but charged himself and Reigns out of the ring.
Reigns speared himself into the barricade, and then Edge speared him into another barricade to break the referee’s count. The referee then got knocked down on a Superman punch to Edge, and he used it to his advantage.
The piece of chair came into play again and the Usos and Mysterios got involved. And then Seth Rollins attacked Edge. and all this time, the whole company just decided that officiating the match was not necessary.
Edge speared Reigns and a new referee finally graced us with his presence for Reigns to kick out at 2. Rollins came out again and cost Edge the match.
And then the part that really mattered happened.
Reigns told the crowd to acknowledge him, and someone came out to do just that!
John Cena is back! And Reigns can’t see him, which means that we’ll be seeing Cena vs. Reigns for this year’s SumerSlam!
I needed Cena’s return and the crowd’s epic reaction to bring me back into this, because I was not happy with how the ending of this match went down. Nearly 5 minutes of no referee, and how stupid the officials who ran down to help Charles Robinson looked just turning their backs to the whole thing. This is a huge main event!
But Cena, and really that incredible reaction for him, brought it back. This is going to be an epic summer blockbuster.


The most deserving winner
Well then.
Kevin Owens rolled into the ring and Seth Rollins and John Morrison teamed up to take him out. They both then planted him spine first on the ladder in the ring. Rollins grabbed a ladder and cleared Drew McIntyre and Morrison from the ring.
And then Riddle did an RKO! Really outta nowhere style. Then McIntyre did a Claymore outta nowhere to Shinsuke Nakamura and Riddle. McIntyre dove over the top rope and took out the competitors.
Jinder Mahal and his lackeys then decided to make sure McIntyre didn’t win. Mahal attacked him with a chair and they dragged him out of the arena.
Ricochet is an absolutely insane man. He is NOT human. He leapt off the ladder and hopped on the top rope into the damn sky to take out the competitors on the floor.
Nakamura took out Rollins and climbed up the ladder and then Morrison squirted him with the drip stick. Owens took out Ricochet and then ROLLINS POWER BOMBED HIM THROUGH A LADDER OUTSIDE OWWWW! Even Riddle couldn’t believe it.
And then the man did it. He did it. A GINORMOUS ENDING to Rollins from Big E and he climbed up that ladder and got the briefcase.
I jumped off my couch and started tearing up. I am so incredibly happy that Big E won. He deserves it so much after the hard work he has put in. It’s his time.
This whole match was very fun and had so many crazy spots in it. Ricochet, Owens, and Morrison were insane. They deserve a lot of credit, too.
This was one hell of a match, with the right Ending. A Big and deserving one. Congratulations, Big E. I called it


A superhero was born
The match started with Alexa Bliss just standing on a turnbuckle as everyone started grabbing ladders.
Liv Morgan at one point ran up the ladder as Tamina and Zelina Vega were fighting over it. Would have been an incredibly quick and awesome win. Morgan and Natalya worked together to assist Naomi and also take out Nikki ASH.
Vega and Bliss climbed up together and Bliss put the mind control to have Vega slowly walk down, but Natalya took her out and then suddenly Vega was okay.
Naomi took out the Women’s tag champions and planted Nikki on a ladder. That didn’t last long though, because Natalya had to get up the ladder with Vega on her back, and Morgan came in and knocked them both off.
Nikki then got the ability to fly for the moment and took out all the women in the ring. Her and Bliss brawled until Bliss hit her with a really nasty version of a Sister Abigail.
Everyone decided to bury Bliss in ladders and then two more ladders were brought into the ring. All the women were fighting on top and Nikki came from out of nowhere and grabbed the briefcase.
Okay, so totally not what I was expecting here. Like I was completely floored here. I had Liv, Zelina, even Naomi winning over Nikki.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy for Nikki. The “almost a superhero” thing still isn’t hitting with me, though. I was really thinking that Liv was going to win based off of the story they’ve been telling.


The Rest
Bobby Lashley defeated Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston tried to do 7 second magic winning on Bobby Lashley but it didn’t work and only angered Lashley even more. Lashley launched Kingston to the floor and sent him into the ring post twice. The more the crowd cheered Kofi, the more Lashley was pissed off. He put him in the Hurt Lock and then slammed him to the mat. Lashley rag dolled Kingston around and hit him with two Dominators. He locked Kofi in the Hurt Lock and Kofi was just able to tap as he faded out. Wow this was a real dominating performance from Bobby. It was a much more prolonged squash versus the 7 second one Brock Lesnar gave Kofi. The placement of the match made sure there were no cash in attempts, since they didn’t have the men’s ladder match yet.

Charlotte Flair defeated Rhea Ripley
Charlotte Flair flipped off the crowd! A nice back body drop to the apron, and Flair did a shotgun dropkick to Ripley into the barricade. Flair had an exploder attempt, Ripley landed on her feet and got chopped for her troubles. The crowd started off sort of hot for both women, more so for Flair which I don’t think is a surprise. WWE just shit the bed with Ripley’s booking. An awesome spot where the referee saw Flair use the ropes to pin Flair and he just was like “Hey don’t do that ma’am” and I laughed. Charlotte did a great moonsault to the outside, a staple of hers. Flair worked over Ripley’s legs and did the Figure 8 for the win. A good match but I feel bad for Rhea. WWE really did wrong by her since bringing her to the main roster, so I’m not sure where she goes from here. Props to them for getting the crowd back after they chanted “We want Becky” at the start.

AJ Styles and Omos defeated the Viking Raiders
Starting this match with what you could consider the “lowlights” instead of highlights of Viking Raiders and Street Profits nonsense from last year was certainly a choice. Styles was very over with this crowd! A really cool move happened where Omos picked up Styles and carried him out of the ring into a hurricanrana on Erik. A clothesline to Styles got Erik a two count. He tagged in Omos and he picked up Ivar and planted him. I thought it would be over there but Ivar kicked out. The Raiders knocked Omos out of the ring and they prevented a Phenomenal Forearm from Styles. Omos lifted Erik into the sky and planted him for the win. This was a ridiculously fun match that had a few moments where you thought the Raiders would win, but they looked great against Styles and Omos.

The USO's won the SMACKDOWN tag team titles from the Mysterios on the pre-show in a hard hitting match that had the fans screaming "this is awesome"
Thank God we have crowds back.

Other observers rated it higher though, some as good as 9.5/10.
Happy for Cena's return. Roman's getting all he wants unlike Lashley getting Goldberg as a replacement for Brock and Roman will probably get Rock at Mania.
Good to have the crowd back.
The future looks good for WWE.

Can't wait for Edge vs Seth

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Nikki ASH is our new Raw women’s champion.
How did we get here?
Charlotte Flair came out and cut a promo earlier in the night, and said that she is the “creator of the book” and that Rhea Ripley won’t ever be able to measure up to her. Flair got so much outpouring of emails and texts and then she got a Becky chant and shut it down nicely saying Becky Lynch was home breast-feeding.
She listed off her championship wins and announced she’s the only 11 time champion in WWE. Congrats, Queen!
She was about to say that she didn’t have to face Ripley again, but Ripley interrupted that sentence. She challenged Flair for another match, but declined. Flair said she could beat her any day of the week and Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville decided to take her word for it and make the match.
Ripley hit Flair with a nice German suplex and dropkick for a two count but Flair went right back to the injured left leg. The referee had to hold Flair back so she could get checked on. I love this version of Charlotte.
Ripley was able to do a good Northern Lights suplex but Flair just kept at her. Ripley got her legs up on a moonsault attempt and then executed a Figure Four.
And then she hit Ripley in the face with the Raw women’s title for win.
And then Ripley attacked her, leading Money in the Bank winner Nikki ASH to take advantage. She cashed in and pinned Charlotte for the championship.
So, as I’ve been saying, I am not into this almost a superhero gimmick of Nikki’s but from all accounts, it was her idea and they ran with it. For that reason, I’m happy for her. I’ve said in the past about Alexa Bliss that a wrestler should be able to have some of their own ideas for themselves followed through.
While I am not a fan of the current Alexa stuff, or the current Nikki stuff, it’s their idea and I support wrestlers being able to do their own thing.
I’ve been a big fan of Nikki’s throughout her WWE career. My favorite run of hers was funnily enough with Alexa when they teamed up. Their friendship was really great and I was sad when it was over, but at that time I liked how it ended because Alexa was still in the psychological mind games phase.
So now that Nikki is champion, there isn’t a doubt in my mind that Charlotte and/or Rhea will be coming after her for SummerSlam. Perhaps Becky Lynch makes a return to take Charlotte out of the title picture? Maybe Charlotte just wins the title back next week?
It can go in multiple directions. Let’s see what happens! Congratulations, Nikki!



Limitless challenger and a new SummerSlam opponent.
Keith Lee has returned!
Bobby Lashley and MVP were in the ring, and MVP acknowledged Kofi Kingston’s remarks about Lashley being soft were true. The women and the champagne were distractions, and he apologized.
Lashley asked who would be coming out, and myself, and the people in attendance, were expecting Goldberg. I had Goldberg’s music going in my head, and then this music I wasn’t familiar with played.
Keith Lee!
Byron Saxton said it perfectly during the match - Lee has cruiserweight like ability. It’s incredible.
The crowd was very much on his side, too. He almost landed on the front row when Lashley lifted him up by the barricade. Lashley speared him and like Kingston’s match, shushed the crowd because they were starting to anger him.
Lashley attempted the Hurt Lock and Lee was able to block it and flip Lashley over his shoulders. Lashley just immediately launched Lee onto the mat and speared him for the win.
And then those sneaky jerks brought him out.
We were all swerved! Bamboozled!
Goldberg’s entered the ring and screamed “I’m next!”
Yeah... sure. Keith Lee mattered more to me here. I have no interest in Goldberg returning for another title match, and Bobby deserves better.


John Cena’s back to tell us he’s leaving for another brand.
After hyping up the crowd, John Cena went through the questions of why he returned.
Look at the end of this it was pretty clear what Cena’s role here was - pop a rating.
A good part from this segment, Cena called Roman Reigns an asshole (bleep machine went to work) and said he’ll be going to SummerSlam to face him for the Universal Championship. This was really the best part of the whole segment.
Cena’s presence here was helpful to get the crowd lively, but I don’t know if he was expecting the “What?” chants.
So he came here to Raw to tell us that he’ll be appearing on SmackDown this Friday, and he’ll be fighting for the main SmackDown title.
And then Riddle came out to Bro chants. Cena stopped him after he kicked off the slides and said that he gets the whole Bro thing now. A Bro-off commenced.
Welcome back, John. Please be more serious. That’s when you’re excellent.


The Rest
Riddle and the Viking Raiders defeated John Morrison, AJ Styles, and Omos
A bunch of great parkour craziness from Riddle and Morrison happened after Styles took a nasty bump on his ass. Erik lifted Ivar onto Morrison and owww man wrestling is real. Omos and Styles did that same cool spot from Money in the Bank where Omos lifts him over the top rope. Ivar went to the top rope and the crowd was into that, but he missed Morrison. The funniest moment here was Riddle spraying Omos and Omos got too mad to care about the match. As a result, Morrison got pinned by Erik. Not even Styles at first could keep Omos from chasing poor wheelchair Miz. This was a nice crowd pleaser. Weird that there was no Randy Orton mention or even an RKO from Riddle like last night.

Natalya and Tamina defeated Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler
Jax and Baszler were aggressive towards the champions. The challengers were getting some boos, but when Tamina tagged in Reginald got involved. Still doing the Reginald distraction leads to Baszler getting pinned, and they were all surprised about it like it’s not the 80th time. But Nia finally realized that it’s Reginald’s fault and kicked him to the curb. He immediately became the next entrant into the 24/7 title scene and won the title. He’s finally where he will thrive.

Sheamus defeated Humberto Carrillo
Carrillo was aggressive and on Sheamus from the start. Saw Sheamus try and do the immediate Brogue Kick win like last time but Carrillo was smart. Carrillo pulled at Sheamus’ protective face mask. That was good stuff. Carrillo also bit his finger without the referee seeing it. Hell yes that’s the stuff I want to see from Carrillo. Sheamus ended up giving the Brogue Kick though. Sad because this was a great version of Humberto I thought would win and get the championship match he deserved.

Alexa’s Playground
Lilly’s back. Great. Eva-Lution came in to interrupt Lilly’s grand return and Bliss tried to get Eva Marie to have a one on one match with her, but Eva declined and tripped as she walked out. She said that she would trash Lilly so now she’s tripping on fake grass. Cool.


Jeff Hardy defeated Karrion Kross
Kross debuted from NXT and Hardy finally came out to No More Words and looked great. And Hardy’s Swanton didn’t hit, but the feet on the ropes during a pin did and Jeff won in a quick match. Totally did not expect that, and they’ve already made Kross look dumb with the catchphrase and without Scarlett. Go get murked by Samoa Joe, loser. By the way, this was apparently Kross’ first loss in WWE. HAAAA. Also it’s his birthday! HAAAA.

Jinder Mahal likes replays
Mahal got some cheers by saying Drew McIntyre isn’t the Money in the Bank winner. Mahal was here to recap the last few weeks of boring shit between them. Drew Mac got tired of it and hit Shanky with a bunch of chair shots we all were able to witness and get nauseated by. (Thanks, Dunn!) The crowd enjoyed counting the chair shots so good for them.

Jaxson Ryker defeated Elias
They gave Jaxson Ryker a gimmick match to try and get him over and yeah that didn’t work out very well. Without a doubt there was piped in crowd noise. Will give credit for the superplex through the tables. That got the loudest reaction of the whole thing. That’s what happens, Vince!
This was a newsworthy Raw, with a cash in, returns, and a debut. But it was a weird one. A few odd decisions and even more rematches are coming. It’s a bit frustrating, but seeing and hearing real reactions is helpful. Let’s see what happens next week.

so Kross debuted on Raw and lost to Jeff Hardy? of all people? in quick time? I thought this was going to be a squash! Jesus Christ how can we see him as a threat on Raw? Who thought it was a good idea to do this? I remember Kevin Owens debuting on Smack down and whooping John Cena's a## to establish his threat, why this nonsense now? sad angry


So Kross is going to join the line of great NXT champions turned to jokes on the main roster.

Also Why is Goldberg Vs Lashley happening? (100naira you know why, na money na?) I could swear I saw Lashley say Motherf**Ker when Goldberg's music hit. Why is Vince beating a dead horse? Goldberg can't wrestle more than 10 minutes so how is he remotely going to pose a threat to Lashley without Lashley looking like an idiot trying to make him look bada##

Keith Lee just came back from boot camp and looked good against Lashley so why not start a program with him instead?

Also congrats to Nikki A.S.H? Although I don't like this superhero gimmick which doesn't go over with the fans(Hurricane, Ricochet). I was surprised when Rhea lost to Flair in MIB, felt she will be a transition champion.


Hopefully she will have a better reign than Rhea and Asuka even though she might drop the title at summer slam for who ever will return (Becky, Rhonda, Sasha?)


This Raw felt like Texas was tired of 3 wrestling shows in the short space of 4 days, no energy at all and the wrestlers are not even trying to get them up.
