WWE Money In The Bank 2024 Winners And Grades
Liv Morgan Def. Rhea Ripley
Despite all the talk of The Judgment Day competing by themselves, Dominik Mysterio accompanied Rhea Ripley to the ring.
Michael Cole noted the last time Rhea Ripley lost a singles match was 26 months ago. To Liv Morgan.
This match started as a cat-and-mouse as Liv ran away from Ripley. Fans became frustrated and booed Liv loudly.
Rhea dominated this match until Liv Morgan dodged a charging Ripley and followed up by throwing her, shoulder-first, into the turnbuckle. Ripley could be heard (kayfabe) saying “it’s out, it’s out!”
Fans were split as they made dueling chants of “let’s go Rhea/let’s go Liv!”
Liv Morgan (kayfabe) popped her shoulder back into place by running herself into the announce table and fans went crazy.
Ripley hit the riptide, but did not pin Morgan. Instead, she grabbed a steel chair that Morgan brought into the ring. Mysterio grabbed the chair from her, which was the wise decision because she would have gotten herself disqualified. This led to an Oblivion for a nearfall and “holy s—t” chants.
Dom distracted the ref, leading to an Oblivion on the steel chair for the win. After the match, Dominik Mysterio kissed Liv Morgan and they left together.
Backstage, Damian Priest was furious with Dominik Mysterio for his actions. Finn and the rest of the Judgment Day vowed to go find him. I don’t trust them.
Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan Grade: A-
Bron Breakker Def. Sami Zayn
Bron Breakker hit his always impressive Breakkensteiner early on, then he proceeded to scream “quit!” at Sami Zayn.
Bron Breakker cut Sami Zayn off with a Spear, then he hit ayn with another Spear for the win. This wasn’t necessarily a squash match, but it was definitely a dominant win for Breakker.
Bron Breakker vs. Sami Zayn Grade: B
LA Knight Def. Logan Paul
Logan Paul wore a Cleveland-inspired American Flag vest and greeted two security guards on his way to the ring. One of hte security guards turned out to be Cleveland’s own MGK.
LA Knight shattered the glass on Logan Paul’s Prime vehicle before making his way to the ring.
Paul cleared the table, but LA Knight got the better of him with a modified TKO, though the table didn’t break.
Paul won these people over with a springboard moonsault on LA Knight. Though they cheered the spot, they eventually came to their senses and chanted “you still suck!”
After jumping up on the top rope, LA Knight hit a scary looking superplex. Fans chanted “this is awesome” after a nearfall.
Logan Paul borrowed brass knuckles from MGK. After a shot to LA Knight, Knight countered with a BFT.
Logan Paul vs. LA Knight Grade: A-
Nia Jax Def. Bayley
Bayley relentlessly knocked Nia Jax off her feet early in the match.
Nia Jax took control of the match, to the point where she hit the Annihilator, but Bayley kicked out.
Jax called herself “reckless” and “clumsy” while trash-talking Bayley on offense.
Bayley hit an awesome power bomb on Nia Jax from the top rope. The fans were fervently into a match that struggled to follow Logan Paul vs. LA Knight.
A Tiffany Stratton cash-in was thwarted by Bayley, but the distraction led to two power bombs and two Annihilators for the win.
Nia Jax vs. Bayley Grade: A-
Drew McIntyre Def. CM Punk
Seth Rollins walked out in a long cloak, and what was under the jacket was certain to be even wilder.
WWE used ref cameras on the referee’s ear, and there were never more ref cam shots than during Seth Rollins’ entrance.
Rollins’ referee outfit were baggy, bedazzled pants and a cutoff shirt similar to Shawn Michaels.
Fans chanted “CM Punk” to start the match as punk donned pink gear in homage to Bret Hart.
Rollins did a great job working the fans into a frenzy before ringing the bell. When the bell rang, Punk and McIntyre brawled like crazy.
Instead of counting to 10 while Punk and McIntyre were outside of the ring, Rollins instead chose to tie his shoes. Rollins also took immense pleasure in seeing Punk and Rollins beat the hell out of one another.
During an Anaconda Vice on McIntyre, Punk secured his friendship bracelet and the entire stadium celebrated.
Punk stopped his GTS on McIntyre dead in its tracks and confronted Rollins about wearing his bracelet, which Rollins picked up off the ground did wear, but out of no malice.
After a ref bump and a nearfall (followed by a second visual pinfall), Punk and Rollins got into a heated argument. Punk hit a Go To Sleep on Rollins and took his bracelet back, but it cost him the match.
Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk Grade: B+
GUNTHER Def. Damian Priest
Finn Balor wished Damian Priest luck before the match. Famous last words.
GUNTHER already had chop marks on his chest before the match even started.
GUNTHER and Priest chopped the hell out of one another to the point where GUNTHER was bleeding from the chest.
Finn Balor hit the ring, presumably to save Priest, but he ended up costing Priest the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by putting GUNTHER’s leg on the bottom rope.
After this match, Jelly Roll, The Miz and R-Truth took out A-Town Down Under.
GUNTHER vs. Damian Priest Grade: B+
Cody Rhodes Def. Solo Sikoa
Cody Rhodes ran into Arn Anderson backstage, and Anderson said he called in a few favors to a few allies of Cody Rhodes. Some of whom he knows, some he doesn’t.
