The biggest winners and losers of Money in the Bank 2019

Winner: Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins got his Universal Championship reign off to a fantastic start. The "dream match" with AJ Styles did indeed live up to the hype. Both of these men put on a clinic. The sequences and reversals were all smoothly executed and both men sold well.

Best of all, the match ended cleanly. This really was just about letting the wrestlers wrestle.

In every way, this match made up for the poor buildup. It was every bit as good as advertised and serves in stark contrast to what we may get thanks to the disastrous ending to this show.

Winner: Kofi Kingston

Much against my expectations and to my own relief, Kofi Kingston's title reign is no fluke. He defeated Kevin Owens cleanly by himself in another standout showing and retained his WWE Championship.

The top of the card on SmackDown is wide open with Kofi Kingston at the top, as it wouldn't have been with a Kevin Owens title reign. We'll have to see who steps up to challenge him next. Hopefully it won't be a certain Money in the Bank winner.
