Naomi was a big standout early in the match. She did some really great things using and avoiding the various ladders in and around the ring. Nikki Cross also did a lot early in the match, and I really though she was going to win in a very quick way. As the match went on it got more and more exciting, and every woman had at least a moment or two where they shined. They did a really good job of making me very nervous as the match neared its finish. I also liked how this match probably established at least one or two feuds that don&#8217;t necessarily involve the briefcase.

Rarely have I been so conflicted about a match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThere were a lot of shenanigans tonight and a lot of story overshadowing matches, but I did enjoy the show. There were at least a few really good wrestling matches, and that&#8217;s about all I can hope for from a WWE PPV these days.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles<\/strong><br \/>\nI think I&#8217;m most likely to watch this match again. This was the best pure wrestling match of the night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/moneyinthebank\/2019\/article\/money-in-the-bank-2019-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/moneyinthebank\/2019\/article\/money-in-the-bank-2019-results<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shenanigans were afoot in a Money in the Bank that featured a few great matches and moments as well as more than a few head-scratching segments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1524,625,297,622],"tags":[476,234,2416,2440,2363,875,550,547,633,511,349,438,1108,779,537,820,527,916,1932,535,1660,557,546,2433,539,182,1679,999,655,46,872,536,1931,516,1624,468,526,514,151,1257,1480,891,1926,979,819,833,1110,87,515,871,174,2535,1528,835,460,294,517,638,1095,1169,356,354,136,1118,1625,451,190,715,834,464,437,480,170,1111,436,142,541,921,1112,1263,855,564,1109,570,906,70,1365,7,1048,1213,1056,1189,1354,1010,696,482,1933,1675,836],"class_list":["post-5107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-money-in-the-bank","category-ppv","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-aiden-english","tag-aj-styles","tag-akshay-kapoor","tag-ali","tag-andrade","tag-ariya-daivari","tag-baron-corbin","tag-bayley","tag-becky-lynch","tag-braun-strowman","tag-brock-lesnar","tag-byron-saxton","tag-calvin-knie","tag-carlos-cabrera","tag-carmella","tag-carsten-schaefer","tag-charlotte","tag-charly-caruso","tag-connecticut","tag-corey-graves","tag-da-brewer","tag-dana-brooke","tag-danilo-anfibio","tag-dominic","tag-drake-wuertz","tag-drew-mcintyre","tag-elias","tag-ember-moon","tag-finn-balor","tag-funaki","tag-gran-metalik","tag-greg-hamilton","tag-hartford-ct","tag-jason-ayers","tag-jean-brassard","tag-john-cone","tag-kalisto","tag-kevin-owens","tag-kofi-kingston","tag-lacey-evans","tag-lars-sullivan","tag-lince-dorado","tag-lucha-house-party","tag-mandy-rose","tag-marcelo-rodriguez","tag-marco-alfaro","tag-meng-ai","tag-michael-cole","tag-mike-chioda","tag-mike-rome","tag-money-in-the-bank","tag-money-in-the-bank-cash-in","tag-money-in-the-bank-ladder-match","tag-moti-margolin","tag-naomi","tag-natalya","tag-new-day","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-nikki-cross","tag-obaid-kadwani","tag-paul-heyman","tag-ppv","tag-randy-orton","tag-raw-ppv","tag-ray-rougeau","tag-renee-young","tag-rey-mysterio","tag-ricochet","tag-roberto-figueroa","tag-rod-zapata","tag-roman-reigns","tag-sami-zayn","tag-samoa-joe","tag-sean-deng","tag-seth-rollins","tag-shane-mcmahon","tag-shawn-bennett","tag-shun-yamaguchi","tag-smackdown-ppv","tag-sonya-deville","tag-steel-cage-match","tag-the-miz","tag-tim-haber","tag-tom-phillips","tag-tony-nese","tag-triple-h","tag-vic-joseph","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-cruiserweight-title-match","tag-wwe-ppv","tag-wwe-raw-womens-title-match","tag-wwe-smackdown-womens-title-match","tag-wwe-title-match","tag-wwe-universal-title-match","tag-wwe-us-title-match","tag-xavier-woods","tag-xl-center","tag-zelina-vega","tag-zhan-pomerantsev"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5107"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5125,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5107\/revisions\/5125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
