Take a look at the five biggest questions from this year’s WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
#5 Will The Usos remain on the same page as Roman Reigns following WWE Money in the Bank?
The SmackDown Tag Team Championships were up for grabs on the Kickoff Show at WWE Money in the Bank. Jimmy and Jey Uso challenged Rey and Dominik Mysterio on the kick-off show in the first match of the evening.
At the end of the contest, Jey ran Rey into the top turnbuckle before Jimmy helped his brother roll up the veteran for the pin. The match allowed The Usos to win the SmackDown Tag Team titles once again.
After the match, Roman Reigns was seen with The Usos backstage. The Universal Champion congratulated his cousins and reminded them that they wouldn’t have been able to win without his backing. The Tribal Chief told them that he gave them what they wanted and asked them to fall in line once again.
Jey wasted little time in acknowledging his cousin, but Jimmy once again hesitated before taking Reigns’ side. The segment went well, and it looks like the SmackDown creative team wanted to continue showing a divide between The Bloodline.
WWE has teased some tension between the three superstars at Money in the Bank 2021. Will The Usos continue to back their cousin for as long as he wishes, or will they turn on him in the months to come?
This is one of the biggest questions on the WWE Universe’s minds as they have been following this storyline closely on SmackDown.
#4 Why did Kofi Kingston lose so badly at WWE Money in the Bank?
Kofi Kingston had all the momentum in the world heading into WWE Money in the Bank. He challenged Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at the pay-per-view.
Kingston pinned Lashley on RAW a couple of months ago, while Xavier Woods picked up a victory over The All Mighty on RAW before Money in the Bank. Lashley was all fired up heading into the match and wanted to show an even more aggressive side to himself.
He did just that and dominated Kofi throughout the contest. He squashed the former WWE Champion and retained his title to make a big statement.
It was a great match for Lashley who needed to show what he’s truly capable of. WWE should book bigger pay-per-view matches like these that help build the current champions.
However, why was Kofi the victim of such punishment? He lost his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar in a squash match not too long ago. The squash loss at Money in the Bank further raises the question of whether he is fit to take the WWE Championship once again.
WWE could have given him a slight chance in the match or booked someone else to take such a loss at the hands of The All Mighty. Did the company do the right thing by laying down Kofi to put Lashley over?
#3 Will a former champion return to take on Charlotte Flair following her victory at WWE Money in the Bank?
Rhea Ripley walked into WWE Money in the Bank as the reigning RAW Women’s Champion. Many fans expected her to defeat Charlotte Flair convincingly and end the rivalry for good.
Ripley had the upper hand for most of the match, but Flair targeted her leg before making her tap out to the Figure Eight leglock. Not only did The Nightmare lose her title at Money in the Bank, but she also failed to prove herself against the top female superstar in WWE once again.
Why did WWE book Ripley to lose her title at Money in the Bank? Will Flair’s victory bring back a former RAW Women’s Champion who relinquished her title last year?
Becky Lynch’s return is imminent, and that could be the reason why WWE ensured that Flair looked like a big heel in the match. A babyface return from The Man could certainly shoot RAW’s ratings up.
While it’s disheartening to see Ripley lose the title so soon without having a good reign, fans could be in for a match between Flair and Lynch at SummerSlam.
#2 Will the WWE Money in the Bank contract winners get better runs with the briefcases this year?
The two WWE Money in the Bank ladder matches were the highlight of the pay-per-view. The women’s ladder match kicked off the night’s proceedings and the superstars got down to action right away.
Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, and Zelina Vega were among the top superstars who came close to winning the Money in the Bank briefcase on Sunday night. But it was WWE’s newest superhero, Nikki A.S.H., who ended up surprising everyone by climbing the ladder and pulling down the briefcase.
Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins were red hot during the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. McIntyre was taken out of the contest by Jinder Mahal and his henchmen.
Big E ended up taking out Rollins with a Big Ending before climbing the ladder and retrieving the briefcase. It was good to watch these two deserving superstars win the contract. However, will they get better runs with the briefcase as compared to last year’s winners?
Asuka only held the briefcase for a few hours before finding out that she’d won the RAW Women’s Championship. Meanwhile, Otis lost his briefcase to The Miz, who later cashed in to win the WWE Championship.
Otis had a rather bad run with the briefcase and lost his push with the contract. Will WWE give the two winners better runs this year? And will the two superstars finally go on to win their first world titles following Money in the Bank?
#1 How will RAW top SmackDown’s line-up for SummerSlam following WWE Money in the Bank?
Seth Rollins failed to win the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase on Sunday. He vented his frustration by costing Edge his Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns.
After the match, Rollins reminded Reigns that he helped The Tribal Chief retain his title. Edge then got into a brawl with Rollins, leaving Reigns alone in the ring to celebrate.
Right then, John Cena made his much-awaited return to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. While the two men did not exchange any words, it was clear that there was some tension between them.
Rumors suggest that Cena will challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Meanwhile, Rollins and Edge are set to begin their rivalry post Money in the Bank.
Keeping that in mind, does the RAW brand have the star power to top SmackDown’s bookings for SummerSlam? Will the return of Goldberg and Becky Lynch help the Red brand book some big matches for The Biggest Party of the Summer?
It will be interesting to see how RAW tries to match up to the matches from SmackDown at SummerSlam. This is a great opportunity for WWE to book a big event.
