Worst Moment - Brock Lesnar wins MITB

The smug smile says it all

Money in the Bank 2019 was shaping up to have one of the best starts and finishes in the history of the company.

Bayley won the opening match and would cash in later in the night in order to become SmackDown Women's Champion.

The men's match closed the show and was showcasing every performer equally. Some stars took huge bumps (Ricochet, Finn Balor) while the likes of Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton all provided memorable spots.

As the match was coming to a close, Ali was left alone atop the ladder with the briefcase just out of reach. For someone who had been injured and lost his spot in the Elimination Chamber match, it would have been a great story of redemption.

All that went down the drain, however, once that familiar music hit and Brock Lesnar entered the arena.

I was hoping he was just going to cause some chaos, but he actually climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase. It made the match seem pointless as he entered in the final few minutes.

Him winning the briefcase is one thing, but if he is booked to successfully cash-in, they will only restart the same problem they've rectified with Rollins as Universal Champ.

Neither show needs another part-time champion, especially with ratings continuing to suffer. It's WWE's playground and toys, so they can let whomever they want play with them. It doesn't mean that we have to like it though.
