Best Match: Women’s Money in the Bank
Worst Match: Roman Reigns vs. Elias
Final Prediction Scores:
Michael Cruz: 8
Jerry Sharp: 5
Vince McKee: 6
Overview: Overall, really strong card with many highlights. The only true negative is that the Money in the Bank spots are still kind of wasted this year. We don’t get that long reign with the Women’s briefcase, and you know Brock will probably cash in soon. Also, the men’s match would have been the best match if it had been won by SOMEONE ACTUALLY IN THE MATCH.
