The best thing about WWE Money in the Bank is just how quickly the show was over. WWE went the extra mile to ensure that no aspect of the show stretched out longer than it was necessary which is a good thing, because, in the past, they have been guilty of extending their shows way past the actual sweet spot.
WWE Money in the Bank 2020 review
Overall, I would have to say that I quite enjoyed the show and if you were to ask me if you should spend 3 1/2 hours of your life watching the latest offering from WWE, I would answer with 'yes!' chants. In any case, here is my best and worst list from WWE Money in the Bank.
Be sure to let me know if you enjoyed the show or didn't care for it in the comments below, preferably rating it between 1-10.

#1 Best: WWE reunites the Wyatt Family
Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt faced off against one another for the WWE Universal Championship in a match where there were cameos by the Firefly Fun House puppets. I loved the fact that for a change, WWE chose to make Bray Wyatt the unmasked one in this match and it was Braun Strowman who had the mask on.
The Wyatt Family briefly reunited after Bray Wyatt's pleas for Braun Strowman to come home once again but it was all a ruse by Strowman who played mind games of his own to draw Wyatt in and deliver a power slam to pick up a win.
Do not think that Braun Strowman is out of the metaphorical woods yet because a certain Fiend may be present in his immediate future vying for the title he so proudly holds.
#1 Worst: Seth Rollins shakes the WWE Champion's hand
I loved what WWE did with Seth Rollins, giving him a new theme song that goes brilliantly with the whole Monday Night Messiah gimmick. As one would expect, the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins worked hard and gave us a fantastic distraction from all the sadness and dismay in the world.
What I did not care for is what happened between the two WWE Superstars when the match was done. because a handshake just diminished the whole Monday Night Messiah persona for me, quite significantly. Here is a man who is unafraid to break and bend rules, but following a good match, he shakes his opponent's hands.
He is clearly not becoming a babyface anytime soon if you consider the fact that his music was changed by WWE ON THIS VERY SHOW! I swear that sometimes, some of the decisions that WWE makes, make no sense at all.
Why did Murphy, who should have played an important role in the proceedings choose not to be present anywhere in the building, I wonder.
#2 Best: Otis and Asuka win their respective WWE MITB contracts
I am glad that WWE chose to put the Money in The Bank contracts in Asuka's grasp and in Otis' grasp because of how popular both performers are. I just thought that Asuka has been exceptionally funny whenever she's had a chance to come on screen and has reinvented her character from an unstoppable killer to a truly hilarious clown in the best possible manner. It truly was the most unique ladder match in WWE history, and the whole segment with AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan in Vince McMahon's office was pure gold.
Some may say that the Otis push is a little premature, but I am a firm believer in striking while the iron is hot. And yes, Asuka vs. Becky Lynch is a program that is played out but by the time Asuka cashes in her contract, Becky Lynch may not necessarily be the RAW Women's Champion. She has a whole year to cash her contract in.
What did you think of AJ Styles and his PTSD from encountering The Undertaker?
#2 Worst: WWE using Cesaro as enhancement talent
There are a handful of talents in WWE that can operate at the same level as Cesaro, in my opinion. I didn't like the fact that he was chosen to put over Jeff Hardy in his big return match from all of the talents that could have potentially been handpicked. I wonder if it was a nod to the fact that Jeff Hardy and Sheamus are currently embroiled in a feud and Cesaro and Sheamus used to be a part of a popular WWE tag team known as The Bar.
To me, Cesaro is only a fraction of the star that he can be and so is Shinsuke Nakamura who had a world of potential when he first arrived in WWE. It just seems like WWE goes a certain distance with a few stars and just gives up on them thereafter.
Not only is this unfair to the stars themselves but also to fans who may have backed these WWE stars all the way to the top of the roster.
#3 Best/Worst: WWE books no title changes
I am okay with Drew McIntyre remaining WWE Champion and Bayley retaining the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship as well as Braun Strowman still holding on to the Universal title, because of the way that things currently stand in their respective brands. I just think that it would have been great if The New Day had relinquished their titles to Miz & Morrison, who could get lost in the shuffle without the said belts.
WWE has had some record low viewership numbers leading up to the pay-per-view, and they could change all that by making the two babyfaces who've won the titles constant threats to their champions. They proved on this week's show that they could do wonders when they think outside the box.
One hopes that Andrade, Sami Zayn (if and when he returns), as well as Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross will have a chance to showcase their ability on a stage like Money in the Bank in the future. And the same could be said of The Street Profits as well who could do so much more.
