#10 Braun Strowman wins the men’s Money In The Bank ladder match
Match: There was one initial focus for seven of the participants in this match: stop Braun Strowman. Bobby Roode, Finn Balor, Rusev, The Miz, Kofi Kingston and Samoa Joe were relatively safe from “The Monster Among Men” in the early stages, having buried him under ladders on the ramp, but Kevin Owens soon felt the 385-pounder’s wrath and was launched through a table from the top of a giant ladder.
In the closing stages, Kofi, Miz and Balor all looked like possible winners but Strowman was able to outlast individual battles with them all to reach the briefcase first.
Verdict: This was a very good end to a very long PPV night. While it would have been fun to see Miz with the MITB briefcase, Strowman’s triumph means we’re likely to see a “Monster” – not a “Big Dog” – as Universal champion when Brock Lesnar’s reign ends, and that can only be a good thing!
