Okay, so Tiffany Stratton and Penta officially grabbed the Money in the Bank briefcases, but seriously, can we talk about the *real* MVPs? Bron Breakker and Sol Ruca were the absolute uncrowned winners last night. Yeah, fans were pretty bummed about some of the booking calls, but man, those two definitely made some unforgettable moments.
Breakker Went Ballistic, Ruca Rocked It, But the Booking? Oof.
Let’s break this down. The Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match? Best match of the whole night, hands down. And Bron Breakker? Listen, I’ve seen a lot of MITB matches, but his performance? It was the best I’ve *ever* seen in MITB history. The dude had at least four “OMG!” moments and was just the top performer overall. He was absolutely everywhere, pulling off insane stunts. Penta eventually won, hitting a Mexican Destroyer on Breakker onto a ladder to secure it. Honestly, it felt a little abrupt after Breakker’s insane showing.
Same vibe in the women’s ladder match. Sol Ruca was using her time so wisely, making the most of her moments, and the match was trending towards being a classic. Then, out of nowhere, Tiffany Stratton got the call, knocking Lash Legend off the ladder with the briefcase. Stratton’s a two-time Ms. Money in the Bank now, sure, but that finish? It felt rushed, and to be honest, it was the single most egregious booking decision of the entire night. Like, seriously? After all that build?
Knight’s Best, Reigns Retained, and Femi Called His Shot
Roman Reigns versus LA Knight for the World Heavyweight Championship was a whole other story. Knight brought his A-game, putting on the best match of his WWE career after cutting the best promo he’s ever done with the promotion. You could feel the energy! But still, it wasn’t his time. Reigns retained after landing two Superman Punches and a spear. It makes you wonder what it’s gonna take for Knight to finally get his moment, or if it’ll ever even happen. After the match, things got wild when The 946 appeared in the crowd. The Usos and Solo Sikoa went after them, and the brawl spilled out of the arena until Jaida Parker drove The 946 away in an SUV. Talk about a post-match shocker!
Now, the Women’s World Championship Triple Threat match, with Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, and Becky Lynch? Honestly, it was the most boring match of the night. Slow pace, no real energy in the arena. Liv winning wasn’t the worst call, putting an ObLIVion on Vaquer, but most folks were expecting Vaquer to actually retain.
On the other hand, Oba Femi’s singles win over Bronson Reed was totally expected, but seeing him shake off two brass-knuckle punches and a Tsunami? That just screams that WWE has supreme confidence in The Ruler. And after the show? Femi wasted no time. He straight-up called out Reigns, saying, “Tribal Chief… no more running. It’s about that time.” You gotta love that kind of fire!
What’s next for these guys? Will Bron Breakker’s incredible showing lead to something huge, even without the briefcase? Is Oba Femi really about to step up to Reigns? We’re all gonna be glued to our screens waiting to see how this shakes out.
