They have teased it way, way too many times for Vince not to get it. They are obviously building to a big time one-on-one.

Sami and Corbin were the only ones with a reason to win. Ziggler jobs, AJ and Nakamura don't need it, and Kevin Owens is US champ.

I thought Smackdown was supposed to have the good PPVs?

Why is Booker on Talking Smack while he's the guy in Raw

Seth's best times was as Mr. Money in the Bank and then winning the title.

It's almost funny how Baron doing the same old tired pushing the ladder spot killed this crowd.

Match was amazing but that finish was fucking ass. I like the idea of Corbin winning but it should have been better than that. I mean everybody was dead for 10 minutes, I would have liked to see AJ/Nak get pushed off then the other 4 fight over it with Corbin going over.
Same reason Renee does Raw Talk when she's part of the Smackdown team.
No one backstage gives a shit.
Yeah, Mr. Kennedy winning was pretty bad.

Sandoe was pretty damn over at the time and looked to be a star lets not forget
It was after that they had him lose to Cody Rhodes, stripped him of his character and then lost to Cena

Really though, Nakamura was pushed perfectly in this match while he was in it.
Came in, fucking destroyed everyone, then had a short teaser with AJ to build up their inevitable one-on-one match.

At least is not JBL
And Booker talking anything is better than Shane almost sleeping during the show

But they're bringing Cena back on SD to boost ratings. He makes a natural foil for Jinder, and a way to make Corbin more legit.

Royal Rumble, because Shane gotta fight the new hot guy of the brand next Mania.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
It doesn't matter what I think but she looked a lot better with short hair

It's called sports entertainment because it's built around the sport of entertaining Vince McMahon.
Whether anyone else is entertained is a moot point.
Surprise unsanctioned match at Great Balls O' Fire in two weeks!

Finish was fine. They want Corbin to be an opportunistic shit heel, and that's what that finish does. He took advantage of two babyfaces fighting each other and snuck away with a win.

The replies. Wow, people are so pissed. Can't blame them. It threw shade on the whole ppv.

Didn't get to watch the rest of show, just the main event, but I'm pretty sure this was by far the best part of the night.

Yeah, really feel like this should have been Nak's debut. I think AJ, Nak, and Zayn all came out of the match looking really good as opposed to all the other matches on the card where everyone looked like ass.

i think Nakamura works being held for this match. He's not a ladders guy, it's a tough match for his style to work in without him looking weak or having to sell the whole time. It's the same reason that Dolph doesn't work as well in a match like this without looking weak... Difference is, Dolph can be booked weak but Nakamura can't be.
Sami Zayn came out looking good. Had the best spot in the match IMO with the powerbomb. His selling style is just kinda rough in WWE though. Works better off camera.

They're right, that finish had Vince booking all over it.

Cena is coming back as a free agent, so he can work Raw or SD. And the rumor is they are doing that because he'll be busy in the fall outside of WWE, and they want to be able to get him Monday and Tuesday depending on when he's available. If he wins the title at SS and gets cashed in on by Corbin, he has to stay on SD and feud with Corbin. AJ makes more sense in that spot because he'll be around and on SD all year.

So many good choices to have win and they picked Corbin. At least it wasn't Ziggler I guess.

Brutal. That was by far the worst booking in recent times. They completely butchered the women's division. Might as well go back to Divas.
It's a bunch of marks getting worked. It's just a show.

Corbin was probably the best pick. Could you imagine Nak promo'ing with the briefcase? Not good.
Spirit of Jazz

It wasn't fine because there's no explanation for Corbin being up and the other 3 being dead. Also the opportnist heel briefcase owner is tired as fuck and there's no reason Corbin couldn't have gone over the other guys. If Corbin's an opportunist than fine, he should have won due to smarts rather than due to magic recovery.
Violence Jack

Wrong place and time for that tweet. I think any ending would've been acceptable, but having a man get the briefcase in a historic women's match is tone deaf as hell. Then again, we know Vince doesn't give a fuck.
I'm going back to watching Lucha Underground.
It was booked like a Russo era WCW PPV. Fuckery everywhere.

Why do AJ or Nakamura need the briefcase? They are big enough stars already that they don't need the boost. Sami is a babyface so he'd have to announce his cash-in ahead of time like a goof. Owens is already US champ.
Corbin is the best choice there.

MITB works best when it pushes a guy up to the main event level which is why I'm fine with Corbin winning. AJ and Nak didn't need it to move up the card.
