Remember when Ambrose won the contract and cashed in on Seth and it was poetic because he had finally gotten his revenge on Seth with his own favorite weapon and then it turned out that they only did that because Roman pissed hot?

One of the best MitB wins and cash-ins ever because they just gave the loving thing to a face people liked but WWE still has to put it on heels every year since.

It started good and had the good pre-Elsworth part of the Styles/Ambrose feud, it was only that month with Ziggler in the middle that sucked and come on... that's Dolph Ziggler.

Literally the only bad part of it was the match against Dolph at SummerSlam, even the build to the match itself was good.

Was that the one where they were doing the normal long in-ring promo segment and Ziggler cut himself off after like 3 words by superkicking Ambrose?

It was also the time Ziggler did a big impassioned promo about how this time he was going to climb to the top and how this was his moment and Ambrose' rightfully responded by going "lol nope"

Seems like NXT may have shot an angle for an upcoming NXT. Shayna was at ringside for the Io/Candice vs MMA 4HW match. And camera crews were watching the entire thing.

https://twitter.com/ClassicCatch84/status/1129923880473247745

Bit more context: After Io did the patented Shayna armstomp spot above to Duke, Shayna completely freaked out and pulled Duke out of the ring. Io then did a moonsault to the outside, and they brawled into the crowd. Match was ruled a no contest.

I will stan for the Ellsworth stuff because

1) It told a story about how AJ was ultra prideful and Ellsworth getting meaningless victories over him because of Dean's interference got under his skin big time. It showed Ambrose doing unorthodox wildcard-type poo poo to mess with his opponent's head without being WHACKY and doing cartoony hot dog cart garbage.
2) It actually got AJ booed, which was really loving difficult during his Champ That Runs The Camp run. Everybody liked Ellsworth, even us. More than a few of us wanted him to beat AJ for the belt for a week at the time.

The ending, with Ellsworth turning on Dean and Dean just getting punted down the card because Cena's back now, was weak, but the program up to that point was good.

The Ambrose/Dolph program was great because it directly led to the Miz/Dolph program which was loving incredible. I will state unequivocally that Dean's title run was one of the biggest reasons that the renewed Brand Split was an initial success and that Smackdown was so clearly the better brand for his entire tenure. Even when he got bumped down the card he was still a huge factor in Smackdown's success until he got shuffled to Raw for the Cursed Reunion.

The current plan is for the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match to open tonight's MITB PPV.

Big E is backstage at the PPV, the first time he has been at an event since his knee surgery.

At one point over the last week, there was talk of adding the IIconics vs. The Kabuki Warriors to the Kickoff show but based on what we have heard, that will not be happening tonight.

There was also talk backstage that Hulk Hogan would be at the PPV tonight as he was in the Northeast filming something for the next WWE videogame today but thus far, no one we've spoken to has seen him.

10 matches is complete overkill for any PPV let alone a minor one. Sure some of the matches will be good, but by the end no-one will give a poo poo because they'll be too tired to care.
