As we noted on our post-game show last night, at one point, Money in the Bank was slated to close with Ronda Rousey vs. Nia Jax for the Raw Women's Championship, followed by the Alexa Bliss cash-in. The decision was made at some point over the weekend to instead close out with the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
Pat Patterson, Bruce Prichard and John "Big" Gaburick were all at last night's Money in the Bank PPV.
There had been talk of bringing James Ellsworth back as far as the Greatest Royal Rumble event and at one point, there was a pitch to have him in that bout.
No update on the Paige situation as of this writing.
Charles Robinson commented on the Chicago crowd turning on Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal last night:
For as great a town that Chicago is for wrestling (one of the best ever), it is really disappointing that they can be so disrespectful when guys like @JinderMahal and @WWERomanReigns are busting there butts and giving us a great match.
