00:00Money in the bank going down from Los Angeles on a very busy weekend in the WWE. Let's break it

00:12down. The ladder match is set after Monday Night Raw and it just feels a bit underwhelming. I am

00:19sure match quality wise, like you got Penta, Chad Gable, you know, under a mask, Seth Rollins,

00:27like you have, you have talented performers in there, but think of where we were at the

00:31Elimination Chamber where it was like, okay, well this guy, he has a this and a this and a this and

00:34a da da da da. Well, this guy has a da da da da da da. You go into this one and it's like, well, Seth,

00:40I think it's probably Seth, right? Like Seth has a title thing, but everyone else just kind of feels

00:45like they are in a, well, they're in Money in the Bank and then we'll see coming out of it. So it

00:48feels like right now, instead of Money in the Bank is building up to something big, it kind of feels

00:55like Money in the Bank is the start of something big and we'll figure it out as we kind of go

00:59along with some of these guys, which is a little disappointing where we are at. I do think that

01:04it's smart booking to put Cena and Logan Paul together against Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes. Mainly

01:11like you're getting a lot of cheers for John Cena and that's not something you get with Logan Paul.

01:15So those two being combined together, I think actually makes sense on the John Cena side of

01:21things. Um, I think the buildup for it has been okay. It was very rushed at Saturday night's main

01:26event, but it's, it's a big match for Los Angeles and I may need one more big push on Friday, but I

01:33think that there is at least a bit of anticipation for it. And I think there's a lot of interesting

01:36angles that can, uh, come out of this particular contest. Um, the women's match though, I think you

01:41have so many ways to go. Like I, honestly, you could main event with this one and I would be okay

01:47with it. They're not gonna cause like John Cena, but you could, but with them, I just think like

01:53almost everyone in it has a compelling story coming out if they get it or not. Like this is the one we

02:00talked about how like Elimination Chamber felt like a peak and it's not on the men's side. It feels like

02:04this has a lot of momentum going into it and a lot of different, everyone has a bit of a story. They've done

02:10a pretty good job of attaching a lot of them to the champions on both brands. And so that I'm,

02:15I'm very intrigued and I think you can make a pretty compelling case for everyone involved in

02:19the match that they could potentially win this thing. Um, and then lastly, Lyra Valkyria,

02:24I think is growing in front of our eyes. I think this feud with Becky has really helped her out a lot.

02:29She is not all the way there. She is far from a finished product, but she's so young and so talented

02:34and we're starting to see more of the personality come out. It's not just, uh, Nelly Furtado,

02:39I'm like a bird. Um, this is someone who actually has some fire, has a personality and can kind of

02:45get it out of herself at times. So an exciting, exciting journey for a prospect here and getting

02:52a lot out of this Becky Lynch feud. So just the, the overall bigger picture look at WWE Money in the Bank.
