Please see the women's MITB recap above. It was better than any storyline-deficient tag team match from the Forbidden Door. This was a well-deserved feel-good moment for Liv. This match was unbelievable. The Usos Following Bianca Belair's win, Carmella started beating her down, leading to a buzz throughout the crowd as fans expected Liv Morgan to possibly cash in. - The Street Profits vs. Lashley winning was a surprise, especially considering WWE is "heating up" Theory for Cena. As of this writing, the event is a near sellout in its new home. Becky Lynch winning would have made MITB seem like a prop in a Becky Lynch storyline. This was a tremendous, old-fashioned babyface vs. Last week’s broadcast of SmackDown garnered 2.231 million coming off a massive number the week prior.

However, even if that story works for her long term, WWE Money in the Bank 2022 was the low point of a rough year to date. This was certainly not the most crowd-pleasing end to a good night of wrestling, but it does mean Theory has gone from midcard to main event all in one show. While it is often good, their battle at WWE Money in the Bank 2022 was on another level. The action and drama proved the power of tag team wrestling at a level WWE rarely reaches. Winning Money in the Bank was a long time coming, finally rewarding her great work. WWE Money in the Bank has typically been one of WWE's biggest shows, but this night felt lacking on the surface.

Money In The Bank 2022: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best (TheSportster)

The 2022 edition of WWE's Money In The Bank has come and gone. What were the best matches of the pay-per-view?

The match started slow and methodical, with The Usos working at a pace like Roman Reigns. But that was because they were given tons of time, and things steadily built up throughout. In the end, it was the late entrant Theory who won it, taking out Riddle after a match filled with carnage, great spots, and smart storytelling. The men did just edge things when it comes to the battle of the ladder matches this year, with a great encounter between many top stars. There were counters on display throughout, and that played into the finish with Lashley slipping out of the A-Town Down to set up the Hurt Lock for the win in a fun encounter. This one was all about the moment, and that was certainly an epic one, but the match wasn't memorable. This got a major reaction and seeing her capture the title was an amazing thing to witness, but in terms of a match, there wasn't much to write about.

Best and Worst Booking Decisions of WWE Money in the Bank 2022 ... (Bleacher Report)

Bobby Lashley defeated Theory by submission to win the United States Championship. Bianca Belair retained the Raw Women's Championship over Carmella by pinfall.

Having The Usos retain, but only by a bad call, was a great way to prolong this. Originally, this match was supposed to have a stipulation The Street Profits could choose, but WWE never followed through with that. - In a digital exclusive, Happy Corbin attacked Pat McAfee after the show. Carmella slotting in wasn't giving off vibes that the title would change hands, but WWE could have easily done a swerve for the sake of shock value and had Carmella score an upset. It will just be an active choice and not something that WWE can afford to passively hope will naturally happen on its own. But now that he has a belt of his own, it is also a good excuse for why he's not in the main event scene, allowing Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre and others to have their moments. Unfortunately, what could be considered a bad booking decision was to have Carmella attack Belair after the match, signaling this feud isn't over. The All Mighty wasn't able to get back the WWE Championship earlier this year, but this is a fine consolation prize. Sometimes, that results in the match immediately being restarted. Others have held a belt while being Mr. Money in the Bank, but one often gets sidelined while the other is focused on. After all, the past few years have seen her come up short in all her most important matches, so it was easy to assume that trend would continue. WWE Money in the Bank 2022 will certainly go down as an historic event.

Booking a babyface to win a title in a heel-ish way as a plot convenience rarely works out well for the babyface and the decision to have Rousey embrace Morgan after Morgan essentially stole the title from her undercuts the title’s importance. Besides, it’s nice to see WWE moments that aren’t comprised of HEEEEAAAAAT. However, we actually saw a more back-and-forth outing from these two, though it also meant we had to sit through an extended Theory rest hold portion. The match itself struggled to live up to the high standards set by previous ladder matches, but even if the workrate disappointed you, seeing Morgan retrieve the briefcase and the coveted women’s championship match contract inside surely brought a smile to your face. Now, there are plenty of issues to critique about this cash-in. Consequently, WWE significantly scaled back the hype for this show.

WWE Money In The Bank 2022 Reaction: 5 Thoughts – TJR Wrestling (TJR Wrestling)

Looking back at WWE Money in the Bank 2022 with Theory and Alexa Bliss getting big wins while Bobby Lashley left as a champion as well.

It was a pretty good Money in the Bank show. It reminded me a lot of when The Miz won his first Money in the Bank back in 2010. The fact of the matter is this. Ultimately, it was Theory’s night as he grabbed the Money in the Bank briefcase. Bianca eventually got the win with the KOD. If I was a betting man, I’d put my money on Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch at SummerSlam, though Bayley is certainly a possibility if she doesn’t return to Smackdown. I expected Liv to cash in on Bianca. When Ronda Rousey defeated Natalya in a pretty good match, Liv Morgan’s music hit and the place went nuts. Then, on replays, Cole and Graves put emphasis and highlighted the shoulder so it became clear to me that it was a planned spot. Bobby Lashley defeated Theory to become the United States Champion. I thought it was a pretty good match with a clean and decisive finish. Give Lashley an extended run with the US Title and let’s make it a habit of getting that belt on more PLEs. Let’s get the Intercontinental Title on more PLEs too! With Theory not likely to attempt a cash-in anytime soon, this feud could continue into Summerslam since John Cena is reportedly not in the cards to wrestle Theory at the show. It was a solid six-match show without a bad match on the card. I think that is a testament to the company that people still want to go to their shows.

2022 Money In The Bank Review, Grades: Theory, Liv Morgan Win Big (NESN.com)

Liv Morgan and Theory won big at Money in the Bank in Las Vegas, but is the concept tired out at this point?

Money in the Bank was a good encapsulation of what WWE is nowadays: bring the big moment without much forward thinking. In a vacuum, this was a fun show. Theory lost his U.S. Title earlier in the night, and yes, the goal was to put the briefcase on him, but the Miami Heat didn’t earn an NBA Finals berth after losing the Eastern Conference finals to the Boston Celtics. I will always commend the talent for putting their bodies on the line and willing get slammed onto a ladder — something I have zero desire of doing in life. Is Theory a realistic competitor for Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar? No. You may say it doesn’t matter because he can pull off a dastardly cash-in, but what happens after that? Ideally, WWE would spend a year to build up at least six title contenders for the match, but instead, fans are left with two or three picks, which leaves the rest of the competitors to come up with an intricate high-spot and not much else.
