Money in the Bank: 5 WWE Superstars who flopped and 5 who impressed

#1 Flopped at Money in the Bank 2020: Shayna Baszler

You would expect better from the 'Queen of Spades'

Shayna Baszler’s name instantly creates an image of brutality in the mind of the spectators. But she was far from her usual self at tonight’s Money in the Bank PPV. Baszler looked strong in the beginning as she battled it out against the likes of Lacey Evans, Nia Jax, and Asuka, but those brief altercations were the only good thing about her run.

During the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Baszler surprisingly struggled in gaining the upper hand for the most part and spent a lot of time chasing Asuka, only to fail in her attempt at catching up with The Empress of Tomorrow.

It appeared as if Baszler was the victim of over-confidence, and she had no answers for the brutality unleashed on her by Jax. She even looked weaker in comparison to Evans, which came as quite a shock.

There have been countless reports about Baszler not impressing Vince McMahon enough to win herself a title reign despite her memorable run as the NXT Women’s Champion. This became more evident when she was one of the three women who never made it to the top of the WWE Headquarters.

Hopefully, Baszler will come back stronger because she can certainly prove to be a compelling Champion on the main roster.
