#9 Money in the Bank (June 18)

Colorful poster, duller event.

The strengths of this card were the Usos vs. the New Day (though it was far from their best work), and the men's Money in the Bank match. Those two bouts saved the show from a night that could have been far worse. With Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, and Shinsuke Nakamura in it, there's no real way it could disappoint from a work rate perspective, though it did have a disappointing finish in that the wrong man won (Baron Corbin).

The most exciting thing about the match itself was the brief exchange between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura, which was done perfectly to tease a future mega-match.

Everything else on the card looked rather random, with Breezango defeating the Ascension and Naomi having a forgettable title defence against Lana of all people. Most infamously, the first-ever women's Money in the Bank match ended in controversial fashion with James Ellsworth grabbing the briefcase for Carmella, a finish that was so controversial that WWE saw the need to do a rematch on SmackDown. Again, it was a case with the wrong winner.

Then there was a Jinder Mahal title defence, a match type which is always awful unless it features AJ Styles.
