This is a very interesting card. To note, Jim Neidhart has been released. I wasn't expecting the first release to happen in three months, but it happened.
Match 1. Mr. Perfect vs. Kofi Kingston European Championship
Hennig landed a shoulder tackle and then drove elbows into Kofi's neck multiple times. Kofi reversed the Perfect-plex and hit Trouble in Paradise, but Perfect kicked out. Perfect caught Kofi with a high-angle hip toss and won.
Match 2. Rob Van Dam vs. Jinder Mahal
Jinder tossed RVD into the corner and caught him with a reverse STO. On the outside, Van Dam countered Jinder's attempt at a Death Valley Driver and hit a DDT. Back in the ring, Jinder landed a huge full nelson slam. RVD kicked out and connected with a spinning heel kick to win.
Match 3. Diesel vs. John Cena World Championship
Interesting to see the world title in the third match. Cena landed a snapmare and went for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Diesel got up. Cena ducked a clothesline and lifted Diesel up for the AA. Diesel came back with a Jackknife and got a long two count. Cena got a near fall after a hip toss. Diesel kicked Cena hit the gut and landed a second Jackknife to retain the title.
Match 4. Christian vs. Bray Wyatt
Christian landed a running knee and then caught Bray with a flapjack. Bray countered Christian's hold and landed a running cross body splash. Christian kicked out, but Bray immediately hit Sister Abigail to win.
Match 5. Hell in a Cell - Sheamus vs. Edge
Edge clotheslined Sheamus in the corner, then caught him with a flapjack. Edge landed the Edge-O-Matic DDT. Sheamus tossed Edge into the corner, but the Rated-R Superstar rolled Sheamus up for a pin. Sheamus kicked out and connected with the Brogue Kick to win.
Match 6. Wyatt Family vs. Legion of Doom Tag Team Championship
It's been a night of short matches so far. Will this be another one? Hawk hit Rowan with a running leg drop. Erick got up and hit Hawk with a chokeslam. Animal made the save just in time. Rowan continued with a back suplex. Animal came in, but Rowan connected with the big boot to retain.
Main Event. Warrior vs. Orton vs. Slaughter vs. The Rock vs. Big Show vs. Ryback
This is the Money in the Bank match. Ryback was the first to bring in a ladder. Orton took hit from him and hit him in the gut. Orton then climbed up, but Show knocked him down. Rock, Show, Slaughter and Warrior all left the ring. Orton climbed up again, but Ryback pulled him down. Warrior kicked Orton from the top of the ladder. Warrior then brought in a sledgehammer. Slaughter was taken out by Warrior. Rock and Show locked up. Ryback climbed up and pulled down the briefcase.
Recap: Hard to say which match was the best when most of them went just five minutes. The world title match was good as was the Hell in a Cell. I like Ryback as the MITB holder.
