So I've gotten back into wrestling, like for real. I've been watching Raw, Smackdown, and Main Event. Probably won't get into 205 Live, but might give NXT a chance because it sounds like it's pretty damned good. I'm looking forward to seeing if AEW can become a real true competitor for the WWE now that Impact is sliding.
Money in the Bank sounds like it's gonna have some really good matches... I'm really considering signing up for the trial for WWE Network so I can watch it.
It might be that I've been out of the loop watching for so long, but a lot of the stuff going on at MitB sounds like it's going to be real good. I'm interested in how Becky Lynch's two matches will play out. I really expected them to do a thing where Charlotte and Lacey would have to fight to see who would get the advantage of fighting Becky second. I'm particularly a big fan of Nikki Cross, so her recent addition to the MitB match intrigues me. When he was younger Shane McMahon had some interesting matches, but he's looking pretty old and I'm not much of a Miz fan, but they seem to be putting together a decent emotionally driven storyline for the two of them and throwing them in a Steel Cage might promise an interesting fight... I'm sure there will be plenty of shenanigans. I'm not really invested in the men's MitB match, but I'm expecting Strowman to interfere with the match setting up a long term rivalry with Sami Zayn.

Haven't been watching wrestling for real these past months, in fact what I have been doing is to read and watch the results of the matches/events from a couple of webpages and some folks that I follow at Youtube, for Money in the Bank have one good theory that would love to see at the event and this is Kevin helping Sami to get the briefcase then Sami helping Kevin to won the belt of champion and when KO were celebrating Zayn can betray is friend and exchange the briefcase for the championship, crazy but possible 8)

Yikes was the final MitB match terrible. Personally I hate Brock Lesnar, he's such a lazy fucking wrestler, I don't know why WWE puts him over so much. His matches suck, his promos suck, he sucks... he doesn't even full commit either.
I don't know what I honestly was hoping for with Becky Lynch, I think I was just hoping they'd let her remain Becky 2 Belts for a little while longer, but she had to drop one at some point unless they were planning to unify. They did pretty well to have her drop the title without it making her look bad. 2 back to back fights, interference loss, and then they immediately had Flair lose the title. Hearing "9 time champion" all I hear is 9 time loser, 9 time person who probably held the belt for less than a month. I like hearing shit like how AJ Styles is one of the longest reigning modern champions, that he held the belt for like a straight year, that's more impressive than holding the title 9 times... especially when you only hold the title for what? 5 minutes?
Women's MitB match was interesting, I enjoyed it well enough and they had enough going on that it was a pretty great fight. I tuned out the Cruiserweight fight as I'm not actively paying attention to 205 Live, so I don't really care. Elias match was oddly a squash match, which was disappointing because seeing his recent matches it looked like he'd be able to pull a good match out of Reigns... who in my eyes is about as charismatic in the ring as Lesnar... I'm exaggerating, nobody is as bad as Lesnar.
Shane/Miz match was a tad disappointing. That constant Shane being a bitch and trying to literally slip away. I don't know if they still do Hell in a Cell PPV shit in the summer, but that's my expectation as the next step for these two.

I was thinking of watching MITB, then held off as I wanted to see where things were going lately, but then I saw that Brock Lesnar won the MITB without fighting at all and that's basically one of the worst things they could've done. I was alright with Lesnar when he came back and there were some fights here and there that were okay, but for like the last...two years I think, he's done absolutely jack squat. His matches are boring and he's held one of the belts hostage for far too long. Like does this mean that Lesnar is just gonna hold yet another title hostage as he part times his way to a paycheck?
Stuff like this is why WWE is in the dumps among many other things and keeps me from being excited about keeping up with stuff. The only time WWE really seems to get something right, is with NXT. I don't watch the regular show, but Takeover and War Games continue to be pretty damn great. The reason those tend to do well? Not under Vince McMahon's watch.

I watched MITB as well... talk about a let down with Lesnar winning, I was actually rooting for Andrade - that Sunset powerbomb to Finn Balor on the ladder was insane!
Want a Los Ingobernables champion in the future for WWE ;D I believe Andrade will have his time, guy is amazing in the ring.
The AJ Styles match with Seth Rollins was the best match of the night. Was hoping AJ turns heel again, maybe bring Undisputed Era with him to the main roster and raise hell like in his Bullet Club days... sigh, will it ever happen..
Well, AEW Double or Nothing is just around the corner, looking forward to see Jericho in action again, along with Kenny Omega, sheesh it feels like ages since these guys been in a ring.
