WWE Money in the Bank took a new dimension
On Saturday, July 1, 2023, it was a fierce battle at 02 Arena in London, United Kingdom, and the WWE came to lighten up the mood a bit with one of their best events of the year, Money in the Bank. It's the middle of the year, and the wrestling organization decided to spice up the environment of London and give their fans all over the world something to talk about. It was indeed something to talk about as new champions were crowned while some retained their championships.
The men's money in the bank ladder match comprises one of the judgment days: Damian Priest, Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, LA Knight, Santos Escobar, Butch, and Logan Paul. It was a fierce one with ladder upon the ladder, each trying to win the title, but I guess only the strong can last in such a match, and in the end, it all ended as Damian Priest emerged as the winner of the man's money in the bank ladder match with the title Mr. Money in the Bank and its briefcase, which serves as a great opportunity for him to become a championship holder of his choice anytime soon.
soon.
The women's division has the same vibe as Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who are challenging Shayna Bazzler and Rhonda Rousey for the WWE women's tag team championship. We all know Shayna and Rhonda to be brutal fighters, as they were from the UFC; they know how to make their opponents surrender with ease, but I guess in this case, Liv and Raquel came prepared also because they give their best. Shayna and Rhonda, the defending champions, couldn't expect less because Raquel is one of the best in the women's division, and she proved it at the Money in the Bank ladder match on Saturday night. At the end of Shayna and Rhonda's brutality, Liv and Raquel emerge as the winners and bag the new championship titles as the new women's tag team champions.
For the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Matt Riddle challenges Gunther, and the challenge was accepted in good fate. It started well with a tough one as both of them were trying to give their best, but towards the end of the match, you couldn't have expected anything less than what ended it as Gunther retained his championship by defeating Matt Riddle.
Still, in the atmosphere of the money in the bank, Dominik Mysterio wanted to try his luck with the one and only American Nightmare Cody Rhodes, but I guess luck wasn't on his side as he was defeated by Cody in no time at all. That is what superiority means.
The women's division is still very much in action, as the women's money in the bank ladder match was the next line, which comprises Iyo Sky, Zelina Vega, Becky Lynch, Zoey Stark, Bayley, and Trish Stratus. The result came as a shock because, despite having the all-time Becks in the match, who could have expected that the winner would be Iyo Sky? The match was exciting, putting the WWE fans in suspense about who the possible winner will be, but after the fierce ladder upon the ladder, Iyo Sky emerges with the most money in the bank in 2023. This is an opportunity that will put her at the top of her career as a wrestler if she makes good use of it when the time comes.
Coming to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Finn Balor challenged Seth "Freakin" Rollins for a match that he accepted and brought to reality at the 2023 Money in the Bank ladder match. The match was indeed a great one because of lots of expectations, and there are possibilities that the judge may cheat one way or another, but unfortunately for them, the champion retained his title as the world heavyweight champion.
For the most interesting match of the night, the bloodline civil war, who could have believed that would be the end of the bloodline? It shouldn't have been so because, as their fan, I expected more cooperation among them, which would help them rule WWE, but that wasn't the case. The match between Jimmy and Jey Uso against the tribal chief Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa came to an unexpected end. It was a match of the best, and the two parties gave it their all, but in the end, Jimmy and Jey won the match. This was a shock to the entire WWE universe, but what can be done? Absolutely nothing because they won, and that was great; they made my night yesterday as I opened my mouth in surprise.
This year money in the bank ladder match has come and gone leaving us with beautiful memories to hold onto.
