OK gotcha. Bayley vs. Tamina is her only scheduled match.

Here are the 6 MITB women:

Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Nia Jax vs. Dana Brooke vs. Lacey Evans vs. Carmella

Of course whoever wins could challenge Bayley tomorrow night. But I very seriously doubt that happens. Vince will want that done in front of a live audience.

As I mentioned before, I really hope that rumor about Sasha Banks taking out Dana Brooke backstage and then winning MITB is true.

I don't think it will happen tomorrow night. Bayley is a Smackdown wrestler.

Like your predictions. I just don't think Nia has what it takes to win the Women's MITB. I think Shayna does.

Thanks. While Baszler is my official pick, I only mention Jax because of the push shes seems to be getting lately. I would hate for her to win it.

I've seen a lot of stupid crap in my almost 50 years of watching professional wrestling.

The Money In The Bank match I watched tonight easily ranks in the top 5 all time.

It was a decent PPV until then. Shocking the whole thing was only 2 1/2 hours long.

While I just saw highlights, I have to agree.

The company's sense of humor - starting with the Chairman - is just the worst. The stuff they find 'funny' is the dumbest crap you'll ever see.

IMHO, 2 things hurt the WWE in this PPV:

1. Not having a crowd.

2. Not having it in the ring, like past MITBs.

It's surprising to me that they've struggled to adapt as much as they have and rather than coming up with more new and exciting ideas, we continue to get stuff like this. Then again, creativity has long been an issue.

While I was not surprised that Asuka won the women's MITB, I was surprised that Otis won the men's MITB.

I completely agree. It makes NO sense for him to win it. Does anyone really of him as a potential world champion? No. He belongs back in tag team action where they can challenge for one of the brands tag team championships.

A world champion? Otis? Are you kidding me? I would prefer a rerun of Daniel Bryan as champ with the over the top yes chants. I thought Corbin was a bad choice for MITB winner. This is worse. What the heck is Vince thinking?

Asuka is now the Raw womens champ. Becky Lynch gives her the belt because Becky is pregnant.

I'm finding it so hard to watch without the crowd, tried to watch Wrestlmania, just wasn't feeling it.

WWE should play up they might possibly sell and give (just a act) like controlling percentage to Japan and bring in Stardom and New Japan talent and make it like it is a corporate invasion
