Liv Morgan won at 16:34

Wow, this wasn’t that good. Lots of botches throughout and no clear direction to where it was going. They didn’t even hype up the Winner throughout the match which just doesn’t help Liv’s credibility. I mean I’m excited for her, but WWE didn’t increase that excitement. Could’ve been better, but was a complete mess. *¾

Bobby Lashley def. Theory(c) via Submission at 11:00

It’s alright. Theory having some heat spots didn’t make sense, but he tried his best and Lashley winning made sense and I’m very happy for him. **

Felt like your average television contest, but was honestly solid nonetheless. They got the point across and managed to create a perfectly acceptable face vs heel contest. Not sure about continuing this feud, but whatever. **

The Usos(c) vs The Street Profits | Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match

This is pretty good. Didn’t expect it to go so long, and I like the teases towards the Profits finally doing it and then finally losing, but not even clean to extend it to SummerSlam. This was a good showing for the Profits and hopefully they finally win the gold soon and stay together. ***½

Ronda Rousey(c) vs Natalya | SmackdownWomen’s Championship Match

Ronda Rousey def. Natalya via Submission at 12:32

This was surprisingly solid with a nice story of who can submit who with multiple submissions and stolen submissions as well. Natalya looked good. **¾

After the match Liv Morgan successfully cashed in her Money In The Bank Contract and won the Smackdown Women’s Championship!

Theory won at 25:31

Uhhhh….alright….Theory wins? I’m alright with the character winning the contract as it completely makes sense to have a rising heel hold it, but the person outside of that character just makes it bitter sweet. Anyway, this was a pretty good Ladder Match. Nothing top tier, but it was fun and I like the closing stretch. Good way to close the show. ***¼

Some closing thoughts on this show: I don’t think this show really delivered like I expected it to. The card was solid, but the build didn’t add much to the table, and for me only a couple of them delivered. Once again the Women’s MITB isn’t good. I don’t know if it’s because of the talent themselves or a lack of structure, but they gotta work in the presentation. Mid card matches weren’t very good besides the Tag title match. Liv cashing it was a rare moment, and the main event was good,nm but the winner absolutely did not satisfy me. Another low tier show for WWE. 5/10
