WWE Money in the Bank 2016: Reactions & Review

Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin

Reactions: While this wasn’t entirely underwhelming, it wasn’t exactly riveting throughout. Corbin’s overall presence in the ring is pretty mundane, if you ask us. Ziggler tried his hardest with every opponent, but even his hard working efforts haven’t been enough to make any of these guys’ matches worth revisiting. This was the best of all their matches, but that really isn’t saying much. Corbin landed some sick clotheslines and that Deep Six outside the ring was impressive. And Ziggler pulled off his greatest hits of offense. But there were just wasn’t too many bright spots during this “meh” matchup. We hope this feud has come to a close.

Charlotte and Dana Brooke vs. Natalya and Becky Lynch

Reactions: Yep…another basic tag team match that belongs on Monday or Thursday night. All four women looked good, but the match was much too brief to truly enter into overdrive. It was as basic as we figured it would turn out to be. We actually cared way more about the post-match proceedings more than the actual bout. Natalya snapped and showed the edgy side of her we know we’re going to enjoy more. We’re open to a Natalya vs. Becky Lynch feud. This match was nothing more than a way to get us to that future matchup.

Apollo Crews vs. Sheamus

Reactions: Now this one was a letdown. Sheamus tends to put on good to great matches with anyone, which is why we were excited to see him take on the impressive Apollo Crews. But, this one never truly matched out expectations for it. Once again, the action that took place here didn’t feel special enough to be on the main PPV card. Crews made us care just a little bit when he landed a nice Moonsault onto Sheamus from the ring apron, plus Sheamus landed a pretty slick White Noise slam from the top rope. Sadly, those were the only moments from this match worth mentioning. The quick rollup pin definitely means this beef will continue. Let’s all hope they put on a rematch worth watching.
