This year’s Money in the Bank was a wild one. A.J. Styles defeated John Cena, Dean Ambrose emerged victorious in an incredible ladder match, and Seth Rollins beat Roman Reigns…only for Ambrose to cash in and steal the championship belt for himself.
Not all of the 3 1/2 hours were as exciting, though; sandwiching a Rusev vs. Titus O’Neil match between the two main events, for instance, left many scratching their heads.
Needless to say, the Internet had a lot of opinions about the show. Here are some of the Twitter reactions to this year’s Money in the Bank you need to see.
The Golden Truth Defeats Beezango
If Golden Truth/Breezango feud intended to be a throwback to the days when you felt embarrassed to be a wrestling fan, WWE nailed it.

Nice of WWE to let one of the writer's kids handle the Breezango-Golden Truth feud.

Lucha Dragons vs Dudley's makes 0 sense. At least the other kickoff matches have story… This is just random. #MITB
— Riz. (@johncenaAm) June 19, 2016
Lucha Dragons are always fun to watch tbh, glad this is on the pre-show makes up for having to see The Golden Truth.
— Weeb Trash Minx (@Mangaminx) June 19, 2016
I just don't think The Dudley Boyz fit in modern day WWE. #MITB

The New Day Remain Tag Team Champions
The Vaudevillains are wearing 1900s magician tops and they're not the most ridiculous dressed in the ring. #MITB
— Kyle Decker (@kfd2010) June 20, 2016
The Vaudevillains are so underappreciated on the main roster…#MITB
— PWP Nation (@PWPNation) June 20, 2016
NEW DAY! #MITB
— Sam Driver (@LessDefined) June 20, 2016
I just can't with that Big E dive anymore. Please stop. #MITB
— Jason Solomon (@solomonster) June 20, 2016
Enzo & Cass lose their 20th consecutive tag team championship match. Well done.
— Noah Antwiler (@TheSpoonyOne) June 20, 2016
Luke Gallows hesitating to save his partner, can be storylined. I think timing botch helps story. Keeping it ?

Baron Corbin Defeats Dolph Ziggler
GREAT effort from Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler … it's unfortunate Las Vegas did not receive it well. @HEELZiggler @BaronCorbinWWE #MITB
— Dalyxman's World (@The_Dalyxman) June 20, 2016
Guess no one at @WWENXT remembered to teach @BaronCorbinWWE to keep both of his opponent's shoulders on the mat #MITB
— WWE Creative Humor (@WWECreative_ish) June 20, 2016
10 years from now, Ziggler/Corbin will be the new repetitiveness feud of Orton/Cena.#MITB
— Robby The Brain™ (@RobbyTheBrain) June 20, 2016
Chants of "BORING"…time to end this feud WWE. You certainly need to realize when it's OVERKILL #MITB
— JDfromNY (@JDfromNY206) June 20, 2016
Crowd chants "Boring" Michael Cole "oh Baron Corbin likes to take his time" #MITB
— Wrestling LAD (@WrestlingLAD) June 20, 2016
I have no desire to see Baron Corbin wrestle Dolph Ziggler ever again in my lifetime. Please move Corbin on, he's good. #MITB
— Kenny McIntosh (@KennyMc1985) June 20, 2016
You know people are sick of a feud when you fly into the ring at the last split second to avoid being counted out and people boo. #MITB
— Bryan Alvarez (@bryanalvarez) June 20, 2016
Well, that was a boring, meaningless match. #MITB #MoreBeltsPlease
— Troy Evers (@NMUFred) June 20, 2016
Charlotte & Dana Brooke Defeat Becky Lynch & Natalya
Glad #wwe is finally giving the women real storylines like "one tag team partner turns on the other" and … uh … that's it really.
— philko (@pkollar) June 20, 2016
Kinda like the idea of Natalya turning heel but being Nattie she'll probably just apologize and beg forgiveness on RAW… #MoneyInTheBank
— SmackTalks (@SmackNetwork) June 20, 2016
Whaaaaaaaat?! NATALYA heel turn?! I did not see that coming!!! #MITB
— Kenny McIntosh (@KennyMc1985) June 20, 2016
With Natalya heel turn….that just makes Sasha Banks the babyface of the women's division when she comes back #MITB
— Mikey D Manno (@MikeManno726) June 20, 2016
Natalya Heel turn? Random… hope this leads to a Becky Vs Nattie feud, leaving an opening for Charlotte Vs @SashaBanksWWE Title fued! #MITB
— Andrew Peterson (@WPack911) June 20, 2016
To be honest, I didn't see that coming. That heel turn was unexpected. So Natalya vs Becky at Battleground? She needs some explaining. #MITB
— Jonas Marquez ✖️ (@jonaslorence) June 20, 2016
Match was whatever but the Natalya heel turn was certainly shocking/interesting. Hey, I'll take it! #MITB

Apollo Crews Defeats Sheamus
Sheamus vs. @ApolloCrews is brought to you by "Hold on while I check & make sure I'm DVRing Game of Thrones" #MITB

Apollo Crews just got the Biggest Win of his Career in Sheamus' Biggest Loss during the Biggest #MITB in History Ever Ever.
Ever. Biggest.

Get it homie! @ApolloCrews #MITB

We unfortunately haven't seen the last of Sheamus and Apollo Crews homoerotically cuddling each other for 20mins #MITB

A.J. Styles Defeats John Cena
The Way AJ Styles reversed that AA was INCREDIBLE!#MITB
— SimpleSaeed (@SimpleSaeed) June 20, 2016
"Is this all he got? Is this all he got??? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhit …. " HAHAHAHAHA! AJ Styles mocking Cena is awesome. #MITB @WWE
— Dalyxman's World (@The_Dalyxman) June 20, 2016
Watching Cena take a Styles Clash was an incredibly enjoyable moment
— You, Me and McCree (@hamsandcastle) June 20, 2016
Looks like the story of the match is that Cena has lost a step, and is beginning to realize it.
— Noah Antwiler (@TheSpoonyOne) June 20, 2016
Totally cool w/this. Styles wins but we haven't quite gotten an answer as to who's better. Keep that question looming overhead. #MITB
— John Squires (@FreddyInSpace) June 20, 2016
Watching John Cena vs AJ Styles like… #MITB pic.twitter.com/35Ct6qFSRH
— Riz. (@johncenaAm) June 20, 2016
Right about now, you know AJ Styles isn't regretting his decision not to go back to TNA.

Dean Ambrose Wins the Ladder Match
That was one of the sickest spots in ladder match history. Michinoku Driver onto the SIDE of the ladder
— WrestlingINC.com (@WrestlingInc) June 20, 2016
The creative resurrection of Dean Ambrose takes one, giant step forward w/ the #MITB victory. Love Ambrose's Bill Murray/Terry Funk persona.

Very happy with the ending to the #MITB ladder match. It's about damn time! The main event just got much more interesting too…

Rusev Defeats Titus O’Neil
I didn't think we had time for the Rusev match #MITB
— Over Draft Kings (@KHoltJr) June 20, 2016
Rusev has the best overall look and appeal to me from anyone on the roster. He just looks like a world champion. One day. #MITB
— Adam Moms (@kirkbr18) June 20, 2016
With all due respect to Rusev, he's no Sasha Banks when it comes to picking on kids in the audience. #MITB
— The Tan One (@HurriOwl) June 20, 2016
if rusev never holds the world title what are we even doing here
— (((Bill Hanstock))) (@sundownmotel) June 20, 2016
Dominant, being mean to children Rusev is the Rusev I've always wanted. Feel like the character is finally on track. #MITB
— John Squires (@FreddyInSpace) June 20, 2016
I hope this Rusev / O'Neil feud goes on for months.

Is this heel @WWERomanReigns? I like it. I like it a lot. #MITB
— Robert Riddle (@RobertRiddle14) June 20, 2016
Reigns is working a more heel style. No chance they could pull a double switch, is there?! #MITB #ReignsVsRollins
— Matt Eddy (@matteddy04) June 20, 2016
Are they going for a double-turn in this match? Reigns is showing off a lot of heel characteristics, and Rollins is being defiant. #MITB
— The Scruffy Fox (@TheScruffyFox) June 20, 2016
This match has a very interesting dynamic. Seth working baby after destroying fans last few weeks. Reigns acting like a great heel. #MITB
— John Marecek (@JohnMarecek) June 20, 2016
He's not a good guy
He's not a bad guy
He's just the guy responsible for some of the most boring main events I've ever seen.#MITB— Matthew Gaydos (@MatthewGaydos) June 20, 2016
Wait, #MITB is still going on? Just have Ambrose cash in & end it. This isn't rocket science.

That was a tremendous way to end the show. Extremely happy for Ambrose. Such an amazing job by Roman & Seth.
