Money In The Bank is the annual pay per view where multiple wrestlers compete in a ladder match to earn a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Champion whenever they choose. But this years show has two ladder matches. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon announced that Daniel Bryan is unable to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship so the main event tonight would feature 8 men vying for the vacated title. Alberto Del Rio was the first man to qualify when he beat Dolph Ziggler. Randy Orton was then added to the match and was joined by Sheamus, who beat Bad News Barrett to qualify, Cesaro, who beat Rob Van Dam, Bray Wyatt beat Dean Ambrose, John Cena beat Kane but Kane was later added to the match anyway. Roman Reigns would find himself in a battle royal that he won to also qualify for the match.

Seth Rollins controversially turned his back on The Shield, attacking Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns with a chair the night after Payback. It was announced that there would be a Money In The Bank ladder match and Rollins was the first name announced for the match. Triple H then announced that he would be joined by Bad News Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Rob Van Dam, Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston. With Dean Ambrose attacking Seth Rollins at every turn, Rollins asked Triple H to add Dean Ambrose to the match so he could keep an eye on him. Triple H agreed and added Ambrose to the match.

The WWETag Team Championships are set to be defended tonight as The Usos defend against two men that have scored victories over the brothers recently, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Paige will be defending her WWE Divas championship against the woman that beat her on main event a few weeks ago, Naomi. The two girls that have been fighting for Fandango’s attention as of late will also go one on one as Layla battles Summer Rae. Fandango will serve as the special guest referee in this match. Cody Rhodes has re-invented himself as the wacky Stardust and tonight he teams up with his brother Goldust in a rematch against Ryback and Curtis Axel. And another rematch from Payback scheduled for tonight will be Rusev against Big E.

A video package kicks us of, focusing on the two ladder matches tonight.

Michael Cole welcomes us to Boston for a history making night!

And that was Money In The Bank 2014. It felt like a decent pay per view. The ladder matches stood out but there was plenty of good stuff on this show. The opener was a lot of fun. The Usos, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan went all out and put on a really good tag team match. The Usos won which meant on their four year PPV anniversary they finally picked up their first win. I was quite surprised it was a clean win as Harper and Rowan have been built up as monsters but it’s nice to finally see The Usos victorious. A great way to open the show. And I really enjoyed the match that followed between Paige and Naomi. This was the best Paige match I have seen up to now but a lot of this was because of Naomi. Naomi is a really under-rated talent and is putting on some great matches. Paige wins though ands that’s three pay per view title defences for Paige. Pretty much picking up where AJ Lee left off.

Adam Rose then battled Damien Sandow in a bit of filler. Adam Rose picked up the win which is good for him in his first PPV match. Damien Sandow is great in the comedy role, he’s always entertaining. Both men are lower carders but I like lower card guys getting showcased on pay per view. Then came the first ladder match, which was my favourite of the two. Loads of action, loads of talented guys involved. No Bad News Barrett though as he is injured. I wonder if he’ll have to give up the Intercontinental Championship. The match was all about the Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose rivalry though and it was Seth who won. I quite like the way he won, with Kane helping him. It degrades Kane a bit but it’s a massive push for Rollins who could be WWE World Heavyweight Champion at some point.

Goldust and Stardust beat Curtis Axel and Ryback, getting revenge from their loss at Payback last month. This looks like it’ll be the corner turned for the brothers and I can see they earning their way to a tag team title shot at some point. Ryback and Curtis Axel are treading water, they’re a decent enough team and it’s probably a good spot for them at the moment. Ryback stands out in the team though. Rusev beat Big E in a hard-hitting affair. Rusev is getting a monster push at the moment and it’ll mean a lot for the guy who beats Rusev. Layla then beat Summer Rae pretty decisively. I thought this might have been more of an even match and with Summer Rae the newer talent I did expect her to win. Layla wins though and she goes home with Fandango. It’s nice sometimes to be surprised and now give you the booing that you expect.

And in the main event John Cena won the match to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion. This wasn’t too surprising. I mean, Daniel Bryan is out and they probably have storylines booked up for the next couple of months with a babyface champion so John Cena slots in. This was a good match though and everyone got their offence in. I wouldn’t have been too surprised to see Randy Orton win either but it’s Cena that wins.

Overall Rating: 53.4/100 (ranked 227th out of 303)
