WWE MITB got to a raucous start in Chicago last night. There was some support for Daniel Bryan from the windy city.
It was a right decision to let the man of the moment go over against the seven-footer. The audience would have ripped apart Cass if he had received the win.
Seth Rollins vs Elias at MITB was a slobber-knocker after an expected dud between Lashley and Zayn. The Intercontinental Champion is in a winning streak, but we can’t deny the momentum that Elias also received through this great match. The contender is likely to win the title in the future after a great showdown.
Ronda Rousey proved yet again that the ‘baddest woman on planet earth’ is the most suitable for her. She is on fire when the bell rings. Her contest against Nia Jax was a great contest. Letting Alexa Bliss cashing in the MITB was a smart move from a creative perspective. It allowed Rousey to remain unpinned in her career. Bliss, Jax, and Rousey would set up a summer program for sure.
Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal at MITB was a complete disaster. The crowd was not into the contest and booed Reigns out of the building all the way. We are not sure why The Guy is getting this much-forced push even after these negative reactions.
The next match which saw James Ellsworth returning into the mix was a good one though. The crowd loved the comeback of ‘chinless wonder’.
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura pulled off their signature match in the WWE finally. The crowd was on their feet during this MITB contest with an incredible atmosphere inside the All-State Arena. Both of them deserve kudos to live up to the hypes of the Last Man Standing match.
Finally, Braun Strowman was the expected winner for the crowd from the very beginning. There was no surprise in-store during the men’s MITB ladder match either. It gives a hint that the monster might be eyeing Brock Lesnar next.
Here are the Twitter reactions from the MITB PPV event,
I’ll never forget that love you showed me #Chicago THANK YOU!! #MITB
