Nikki is defending her Raw Women’s Title against Charlotte and Charlotte next.  Oh wait, they aren’t here.  Here comes Carmella.  And now Becky Lynch!  She challenged Nikki and beat her before the bell even rang!  I am kidding.  I think.  The champ is out first.  Then Charlotte.  Aw, you knew that I was lying.  Of course Charlotte came out last.  Maybe she will win the Title and take it to AEW.  Tony Khan can buy a trashcan.  Anyway, Charlotte got the best reaction.  That’s what happens when you book older people to mean more than younger people.  Brilliant.

Early on Nikki did a superhero spot and expected the crowd to pop.  They didn’t.  It’s sad but that is what Vince does to these poor people.  They deserve better.

Charlotte is cleaning house right now.  I would say, “He can’t let her win” but we all know he can.

I am glad Rich is doing PBP.  Vince’s booking has really killed this show for me.  I feel so bad for the talent.  They work so hard and deserve better.  The only positive I have is that I used to get really angry at the bad booking.  Now?  I just expect it.

The story is that Charlotte is way better than both of her opponents.  When they work together they can’t do squat to her.

Charlotte had the Figure 8 on Rhea but Nikki came off the top.  She got rid of Rhea and went up to fly but Charlotte saw her coming and got out of the way.  Figure 8 by Charlotte.  Nikki taps out, proving she only got the Title by stealing it as a heel using the MITB briefcase.  Rhea was on the floor watching as Charlotte won the Title for the 949th time.  She then took the mic and said, “Andrade and Dad, I am bringing this bad boy to Tony!”  Seriously, Becky killed Bianca.  And then Charlotte one upped it by killing two women.  This friickin’ company.  They wonder why they can’t attract new fans.  Sorry I am not more into the show but I won’t lie, I am not into the show.  I am trying to not spew venom because hell, what’s the point.  Maybe Edge and Seth Rollins can turn things around.  If anyone can, it’s them.

Rollins out first.  Edge came out as Brood Edge.  Cool Entrance.  Then he went into You Think You Know me.  So he is two Edges.

Early on Seth is bailing when Edge has control.  Finally Edge chased him to the floor.  That worked against him as Seth took him out.   He bashed Edge’s head into the steps many times.  The fans aren’t happy.  Seth in control.  And, in control for a long time.  The fans want Edge to come back.  Edge hit a neck breaker off the top.  He is rolling.  Two count with the Edgocution.  On a side note, Pat Mac clearly loves wrestling.  That’s cool.

It’s close now. Rollins with a SuperPlex and Falcon Arrow for two.  Edge with a Glam Slam for a two after getting out of the stomp.  This is the best thing on the show so far, easily.

Edge got out of Stomp on the apron and countered with a Spear to the floor.  Cool spot.  But he only got a two when he got back in the ring.  Edge went for a Spear but Rollins hit a nice jumping Pedigree and got a two.  Rollins missed a corkscrew moonsault and got nailed by a Spear, two count only.  Edge is shocked.  The fans are, for the first time, chanting This Is Awesome and they are right.  Finally.

Rollins went for the Stomp but Edge countered and locked him in the Cloverleaf.  Then a Crossface.  The fans want Edge to win.  He locked on a submission and got the win.  Now normally I would say the old guy shouldn’t win, but this story was told in a way where he should.  Great match, like I said above easily the best thing on the show.

For those wondering why The Raiders are not going to let in unvaccinated people and trust them to wear masks, just look in the crowd tonight.  The same thing happened at earlier events at Allegiant.  They know they don’t have enough people to enforce the mask mandate so they are not going to make it an issue.  Lots of fans are not wearing their masks tonight.

Money in the Bank will be at Allegiant Stadium next July.  July in Vegas!  Wow, it will be hot.  Real hot.

Time for Goldberg to get his shot at Lashley.

51,326 fans are in attendance.  Impressive for sure.

I was wrong.  First we have to see Miz and Drip Drip do a skit.  They don’t have their drip sticks.  Who has them?  Xavier Woods.  They are going to douse them.  Hilarious.  Well, Vince thinks so.  It’s three hours into the show with two matches to go.  We don’t need this skit.  Oh, Woods is dressed like Razor Ramon.  Woods used the gun.  No one is popping.  Well someone may be but I don’t hear it.  Fart in church.  Actually, farts in church are funny.

Lashley is out first.  That doesn’t bode well tonight, champs out first have lost.  If Goldberg wins the belt I don’t know if I will still be around for the jain event.

Goldberg got his big entrance.  He is walking better.  He hasn’t blown up.  The fans are popping for this.  Goo reaction for Goldberg.  Better one for Lashley.  Good response for a heel.

Goldberg is manhandling Lashley early.  The crowd ain’t loving it.  I think they realize that this shouldn’t be happening even if Vince doesn’t.  Lashley coming back got a good pop.  Then like a dumb ass he went to the top when he was in control and Goldberg tossed him.  He went for the spear and MVP pulled him out of the way and fans popped.  They didn’t want to see it.  But then Goldberg hit a spear on the floor.  He threw the champ back in.  Lashley rolled out before he could hit it.  Fans popped.  MVP hit Goldberg’s leg and he no sold it for a second.  It’s like MVP told him SELL!  Lashley went for the full nelson.  Goldberg got out and fans booed.  Goldberg took a bad bump on his head.  He rolled out of the ring and is selling his leg.  Lashley rammed him into the ring post.  The fans seem to want to seem Goldberg get beat up.  Lashley rammed him into the post again.  Goldberg is selling the leg.  He can’t get up.  He tried.  He fell down.  The ref called the match.  So Lashley sold and needed MVP’s help.  Then, he didn’t even really beat him.  Lashley laid in chairs on him.  Goldberg tried to get up and went down again.

Gage Goldberg jumped Lashley and got put in the Hurt Lock and a decent amount of fans cheered.  MVP took the mic and said Bobby didn’t know it was Bill’s kid, which is true.  MVP announced Lashley as the winner and at least half the fans cheered.  I just cheered because it was over.  Goldberg just yelled he is going to kill Lashley…..LIVE ON PEACOCK NEXT MONTH, A MURDER! Before the show I thought that this match should have never happened.  I was right.

And now, Roman Reigns defends against John Cena.  For some dopey reason, they put a stipulation that Roman will leave WWE if he loses.  I hope he does , and shows up on Dynamite.  Cena out first.  Big pop.  Roman with his entourage next.  He sent the Usos to the back.

When Cena turned around, he looked like he is getting a bald spot.

We are starting slow, with Cena getting a couple of quick two counts.  He keeps trying to steal a win in between Roman’s beatings.

Roman is just mostly beating Cena down.  But he is being really cocky, which is scary.

Reigns has a sleeper.  He broke it.  Cena then hit a clothesline.  They are working pretty slow, which I get given John is older and hasn't worked in forever.

Cena is ready for five knuckle but Roman grabs a choke, then hits the Superman.  Roman ran into a kick.  Cena does Five Knuckle.  AA. Two count only.  

John with an STF (and you cann really see the bald spot now).  Roman gets the ropes.  Then he hit a drive by.  Roman stormed him on the floor but ran into an AA through the announce table.  He threw him in the ring and got a 2.5.

Cena came off the top and kind of got caught.  Superman punch for a two.  It's after midnight.  So much for WWE making it easy for fans to get to the Manny fight.

Roman missed a spear in the corner.  AA from the top rope, two count only.

They are throwing hands.  Two Superman punches.  Then a spear.  1-2-3.  Roman retains.  Tony Khan won't get him.  

And then, the music hit.  Brock Lesnar appeared.  He is storming to the ring.  What will Paul Heyman do?

Brock came into the ring.  Roman gave him a WTF look.  They face off.  Roman backs away.  He leaves with Heyman and raises the Title.  What will Heyman do?  Tune in on Friday!
