The rumours of an abrupt cash-in were already in the air for the MITB 2018 event. It turned out to be true.
But the character turned out to be pretty much different this time around. WWE kept their faith on the trusted shoulder of The Goddess once again. So the WWE Raw superstar has picked up the title once again.
We have reported it earlier Natalya was the favourite to win this year’s MITB briefcase. She was closing in for a victory until Ember Moon came down and shoved her off the ladder. Moon herself failed to capitalise, as Charlotte Flair removed her from the ladder instantly.
Becky Lynch interfered her best friend from climbing the ladder by hitting a Bexploder Suplex on Flair. The path looked clear for her to climb the ladder and grab the briefcase. But a cunning Alexa Bliss was watching from the back and tilted the ladder at the very last moment. She was the first to unhook the briefcase and become the winner creating history.
Little Miss Bliss sounded confident on winning this MITB briefcase. She revealed in a backstage interview that a plan is in her mind. But we could barely imagine she would try to cash it in the champions match later the night.
Ronda Rousey was in firm control of the match trying to lock in the arm-bar on Jax. Bliss appeared from the back and started hitting both the opponents with her briefcase. Rousey might have a shatter back after getting hit with it. Bliss also sent her into the ring post to take out of the equations.
The ‘five-feet of fury’ informed the referee that she is cashing in the MITB briefcase right there on downed Nia Jax. A DDT set her up in the corner of the ring. Bliss climbed the top rope and hit the Twisted Bliss on her former best friend to get the pinfall. It earned her the third Raw and overall fifth women’s championship.
It might be a bankable move for the creative team of the WWE Raw. They are willing to set up a program between Rousey and Bliss in the future. Summerslam might witness this contest or a triple threat match also involving Nia Jax. But until then the Raw women’s title will be home under the grasp of Alexa Bliss.
