Here’s our final review of WWE Money in the Bank 2016!
The Golden Truth (Goldust and R-Truth) vs. Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango)
Reactions: This was more of a fun skirmish than an actual hotly contested match. The whole joke this match focused on were The Golden Truth taking advantage of the painful tan their opponents had. It was funny the first few times Fandango and Breeze got chopped, but that joke grew old after a million and one chops transpired as the match wore on. We like both teams and their promos are actually quite humorous. This match really doesn’t need to be seen a 2nd time, though. Avoid it all costs.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Stars
The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara) vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley
Reactions: This was just…there. A tag matchup such as this one felt more like a regular tag bout used to kill time on an episode of RAW/SmackDown. Bubba’s constant verbal taunting is always fun though, so at least he kept our attention with that. The Dragons pulled out their usual dazzling maneuvers and The Dudleyz got rough and played dirty at all costs. It was pretty much what we expected it to be: passable. Good to see the Dragons get a worthy win, though.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars
The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston and/or Xavier Woods) (c) vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) (WWE Tag Team Championship)
Reactions: This was the perfect way to start things officially for 2016’s Money in the Bank spectacular. Plenty of hilarity ensued when Enzo & Big Cass and The New Day traded some verbal jabs with each other. Once the match finally began, it was a thoroughly entertaining affair. The action started at a fast pace and stayed that way up until the very end. Every team got in some great offense at every chance thy could. Big E speared Simon through the middle rope, Xavier Woods ate a vicious big boot from Luke, The Vaudevillains almost ended Kofi with their finisher and Big Cass went on a rampage when he got the hottest of hot tags. The finishing sequence was a joy to witness as Cass booted Luke into another universe while The New Day finished off Karl. This was a strong opening match effort.
Rating: 3 & a Half out of 5 Stars
