TIME FOR CIVIL WAR, CAN BALOR GET HIS MOJO BACK, IT'S THE WOMEN'S TURN TO PLAY WITH LADDERS, JOHN CENA OUT OF NOWHERE, DOMMY AND MAMI TAKE ON CODY, GUNTHER-RIDDLE, WOMEN'S TAG TITLE TIME, WE ARE STARTING HOT: MY FULL MONEY IN THE BANK BLOG

There are less huge spots and more drama here than there were in the men’s match.  

First crazy spot saw Iyo do a moonsault off a ladder and wipe out everyone but Trish.  That led her to climb the ladder but Trish got up there in time to stop her.  Zelina went up but Becky stopped her but Zelina jumped on her and Trish.  Becky and Trish stopped her  The close up on Trish showed that when she hit the ropes earlier.  She has some issues with that nose, it’s bruised up.  But she’s tough and she’s back in there.  Yet another wrestler way tougher than I am.

Stark worked Lynch over on the floor and then grabbed handcuffs.  Trish loved it;  They worked over Becky and Zoey tried to cuff her to the ring but Becky fought back and blocked them.  

Lynch cleared the announce table.  She tossed Trish over the table and dumped Zoey on a bridged ladder.  Trish fought her and ate a uranage on the ladder.  Zoey then wiped out Becky.  We are getting a lot of carnage now.  Zelina and Zoey were at the top of the ladder when out come the sandal.  Then Zelina hit a Code Red on bridged ladders.  OUCH.  Remember when I said there wasn’t carnage?  Scratch that.

Iyo found herself up at the case when Bayley dumped her off of the ladder, screwing her teammate.  Bayley went to the top but Becky ran up and used the other handcuff to fishhook her.  AWESOME spot!

Typo came back and stopped Beck so maybe she doesn’t know?  Yes she does, she just handcuffed Bayley to Becky!  Awesome stuff.  She climbed up over Bayley and became Miss Money In The Bank!  Yes!  Great stuff.  Great match.

Time for Seth Rollins to defend his World Title against Finn Balor.  Balor was out first.  The UK fans love to sing the champ’s song too.  They did it for a while after the music stopped.  Then they did again after he was announced.  

Seth has tape on his ribs, so of course Balor is going after them. He is working over the champ in a big way.  It’s almost all Balor early on.

Seth came back with a Buckle Bomb but then took knees to the ribs when he came off the top.  Balor went for the Coup but missed.  Rollins came back some kicks and a Pedigree.  He was too out of it to make a fast cover.  

Just then, Damien Priest came out with his briefcase.  The fans are chanting “Cash It In”.  Rollins faced off with him and Balor took advantage.  I half wonder if Balor will win and then Priest will cash in and take it from Balor.

Finn went to the top and Priest got up from ringside.  Balor looked at Priest, allowing Rollins to him a stomp out of nowhere to win the match.  Priest helped screw Balor.  

It was a very good match from a storyline perspective.  Seth sold most of the way and the end saw more drama in The Judgment Day.  

Now it’s time for The Civil War as The Usos take on Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.

We cut up to a sky box where KO and Sami Zayn are watching the show.  KO was happy for once and put everything over.  Sami said he thinks this is the night Roman gets exactly what’s coming to him.  

Main event time, here we go.  The Usos are out first.  The crowd is stoked.  The Usos are too.  Jey was bouncing to the ring.  The fans are fired up.  I really hope they win this one.  

Roman and Solo are out next.  I know it pains some people to hear the truth but Roman is the best in the business.  He may not be your favorite but he is the best.  There are times when numbers can be skewed or even outright lie.  This is not one of those cases.  If you doubt that while it’s anecdotal evidence, my son-in-law isn’t a big fan overall but he made sure to get here to watch this match.  He’s into it.  As the business metrics show, he’s not alone.

This has such a big fight feel.  I love it.

These guys are such great workers.  They stand there and take it all in, don’t rush into 50 moves in 30 seconds.  Smart wrestling.

Solo and Jimmy have started off.  I half wonder if Roman will bring in two new family members to attack and then Sami and KO will come down to make the save, setting up an 8 man for SummerSlam.  It probably won’t happen but when a storyline is great I wonder ways it can go.

Jey came in and Roman made Solo tag him in,  he didn’t want to do it.  The crowd thinks that Roman is a wanker by the way.

Roman got a little frazzled and The Wise Man told him that Jey wants Roman’s kids to sit at Jey’s table.  That was all Roman needed to fire up.  The heels are in control.  

They have been working over The Usos for a while now.  Jimmy was taking a beating and when he made it to the corner Solo took Jey out before he could make the tag.

As an aside, the crowd is insulting Roman in many different and wonderfully vulgar ways.  

Jey made the hot tag and went to work on Solo.  He even did a Rock spot.  He hit topes on Roman then Solo but he went back to Roman and ate a Superman.  Then another.  Jimmy made the save and they did a double spear but Solo broke it up at two.  All four or down.  They are rising.  Solo has to help Roman up.  Time to throw hands.  Here we go.  

Roman thought Jimmy was ready to go down but he hit two super kicks.  He went up top and Roman caught him in the choke when he came down.  Jimmy didn’t go down though, he powered up.  Jey tagged in and ref bump time.  Jey put Roman down with 1D and there was no ref to make the count.   Solo came out of nowhere and he and Roman hit double uranages.  Solo did the spike on Jimmy.  Then he did a spike as Roman speared Jey.  Solo staked his brothers and Roman went for the cover and the Usos kicked out at two.  The pop was deafening.  

Roman was totally upset.  Solo had to get him back into the match.  

Solo cleared the announce table.  He put Jimmy on it.  He waited too long to do a splash off of the apron and Jimmy moved.  Solo crashed and burned.  Roman thought he had it won but Jey kicked out and got a nut shot in as well.  This stuff is so great, you all should be watching.  On cue, the fans chanted This Is Awesome.

Cole is losing his voice!  On Merit.  He just brought out DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES as Jey went to the top and hit the big splash.  1-2-3, Main Event Jey pinned the champ.  Roman is totally distraught after the match.  The fans are going nuts.  

Where do we go from here?  I can’t wait to find out.  This was awesome and every reason why I love the wrestling business.  Great match, again.  Great show, again.
