WWE Money in the Bank presents WWE with a rare opportunity to potentially dethrone Roman Reigns, something that has not even come close to happening since his reign began in August of 2020. The fact that the winner is Theory adds fuel to that fire given Vince McMahon's elusive co-sign. Drew McIntyre has all but promised he will be Roman Reigns’ opponent for September’s Clash at the Castle premium live event in Cardiff, Wales, WWE’s first pay-per-view in the United Kingdom in 30 years. That would be a match, atmosphere-wise, that people would always remember.” Though Reigns is SmackDown’s biggest needle mover, there was clearly interest in Riddle chasing the WWE Universal Championship. “My dream situation is fighting for the title against Roman at the UK show.
Morgan won two major accolades in less than three hours at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

However, even if that story works for her long term, WWE Money in the Bank 2022 was the low point of a rough year to date. This was certainly not the most crowd-pleasing end to a good night of wrestling, but it does mean Theory has gone from midcard to main event all in one show. While it is often good, their battle at WWE Money in the Bank 2022 was on another level. The action and drama proved the power of tag team wrestling at a level WWE rarely reaches. Winning Money in the Bank was a long time coming, finally rewarding her great work. WWE Money in the Bank has typically been one of WWE's biggest shows, but this night felt lacking on the surface.
The wrestling world are happy to see Liv Morgan get her flowers.

After he lost the U.S. title to Lashley, many were questioning what his next move would be, but they did not have to wait long for an answer. The fans love him and he seems comfortable in the role, so there is no downside to this. Ford and The Usos were hitting all of their usual big spots, but it might have been Angelo Dawkins who stood out the most. When The All Mighty actually won and held that belt above his head, the crowd exploded. The selfie-taking Superstar has been one of WWE's pet projects in recent months. But that's not where her story ended on Sunday. After Rousey successfully retained the SmackDown Women's Championships against Natalya, Morgan cashed in and became the new champion.

- Lashley narrowly caught Theory in a fireman's carry and sent him into the ring post. Even in defeat, it would be a huge sign of trust in the young star. The match, like the Raw and SmackDown women's divisions of late, was hardly perfect. Every time Lashley attempted to mount a consistent comeback, the young prodigy cut him off. Shotzi vs. Instead of Big Time Becks capturing what almost certainly would have been another title reign, the lone survivor of The Riott Squad paid off her arduous journey in grand fashion.

Ronda Rousey (c) Ronda Rousey (c) def. The night was especially memorable for Morgan, not only got to the coveted briefcase ahead of Lacey Evans, Alexa Bliss, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka, Shotzi, and Becky Lynch, but went on to cash in later that night after Ronda Rousey defeated Natalya in the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship title match, pinning the former UFC star to win her first ever world title.
The women's Money in the Bank field consisted of Becky Lynch, Lacey Evans, Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka and Shotzi.
In addition to Morgan, who has never held a championship in her career, upstart Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi and Lacey Evans are also chasing their first championship win on the main roster. - Asuka Even though Becky Lynch led the field, listed at +150 to win, WWE’s storyline of Lynch’s mental lapses and string of losses made her a very risky and vulnerable favorite.
One title that would not be on the line is WWE's top title as Undisputed WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns was out for the second consecutive pay-per-view ...
Please see the women's MITB recap above. It was better than any storyline-deficient tag team match from the Forbidden Door. This was a well-deserved feel-good moment for Liv. This match was unbelievable. The Usos Following Bianca Belair's win, Carmella started beating her down, leading to a buzz throughout the crowd as fans expected Liv Morgan to possibly cash in. - The Street Profits vs. Lashley winning was a surprise, especially considering WWE is "heating up" Theory for Cena. As of this writing, the event is a near sellout in its new home. Becky Lynch winning would have made MITB seem like a prop in a Becky Lynch storyline. This was a tremendous, old-fashioned babyface vs. Last week’s broadcast of SmackDown garnered 2.231 million coming off a massive number the week prior.
Bobby Lashley defeated Theory by submission to win the United States Championship. Bianca Belair retained the Raw Women's Championship over Carmella by pinfall.
Having The Usos retain, but only by a bad call, was a great way to prolong this. Originally, this match was supposed to have a stipulation The Street Profits could choose, but WWE never followed through with that. - In a digital exclusive, Happy Corbin attacked Pat McAfee after the show. Carmella slotting in wasn't giving off vibes that the title would change hands, but WWE could have easily done a swerve for the sake of shock value and had Carmella score an upset. It will just be an active choice and not something that WWE can afford to passively hope will naturally happen on its own. But now that he has a belt of his own, it is also a good excuse for why he's not in the main event scene, allowing Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre and others to have their moments. Unfortunately, what could be considered a bad booking decision was to have Carmella attack Belair after the match, signaling this feud isn't over. The All Mighty wasn't able to get back the WWE Championship earlier this year, but this is a fine consolation prize. Sometimes, that results in the match immediately being restarted. Others have held a belt while being Mr. Money in the Bank, but one often gets sidelined while the other is focused on. After all, the past few years have seen her come up short in all her most important matches, so it was easy to assume that trend would continue. WWE Money in the Bank 2022 will certainly go down as an historic event.
Before some of them settled in to watch UFC 276, wrestling fans got a chance to see the other big combat sports event (or combat sports-adjacent) taking ...
Booking a babyface to win a title in a heel-ish way as a plot convenience rarely works out well for the babyface and the decision to have Rousey embrace Morgan after Morgan essentially stole the title from her undercuts the title’s importance. Besides, it’s nice to see WWE moments that aren’t comprised of HEEEEAAAAAT. However, we actually saw a more back-and-forth outing from these two, though it also meant we had to sit through an extended Theory rest hold portion. The match itself struggled to live up to the high standards set by previous ladder matches, but even if the workrate disappointed you, seeing Morgan retrieve the briefcase and the coveted women’s championship match contract inside surely brought a smile to your face. Now, there are plenty of issues to critique about this cash-in. Consequently, WWE significantly scaled back the hype for this show.
