Vince Got Punked at Money in the Bank!

Well last night’s PPV blew the roof, sent in the air, past the clouds and landed on the moon! That’s how good it was. Most of that reason for that is of course was the final 30 to 45 minutes of the show.

History was made as CM Punk left the building and apparently the company with the WWE championship.

The build up to this match was brilliant, creative, realistic and interesting. As soon as the World Title match had finished up the crowd was going nuts, chants for CM Punk were running through the arena, signs for Punk held up all over the place, a banner was dropped down that said “If Punk Loses we Riot!”, it bought back memories of a sign for RVD vs. Cena at ECW’s One Night Stand.

We had the VT for the match build up and the crowd were still going wild. When Punk came out you wouldn’t have been able to hear yourself think as the crowd blew up even loader. CM Punk basked in his cheers, building up the crowd more and more loving every moment. Cena’s music then played and the crowd switched to some of the loudest boo’s ever heard in Pro-Wrestling.

All this lead into a highly fuelled up and down, back and forth match, close calls, big moves and suspense. It lasted over half an hour, there were so many great moments and it really did show why CM Punk is the best, but it did also show why Cena is good at what he does.

Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis came to the ring near the end and watched from the side lines. When Cena locked in the STF for 3^rd time in the match Vince started calling for the bell, John Laurinaitis headed towards the time keeper but Cena let go of the STF slid out the ring and gave Laurinaitis a punch sending him the floor, he then shouted at Vince, “Not this way, not this way.” When back in the ring Cena fell victim to the GTS, the 3 count was made and CM Punk won the WWE championship. Vince was furious and took a headset from the announcers table and called for Del Rio to cash in his Money in the Bank Contract which he won earlier in the night. Del Rio came but before he could officially cash in he was knocked out by Punk who then left through the roaring Crowd with the WWE championship. A great way to end the show.

Now although that was the best part of the PPV, and was the main reason it was so good, there were some great Ladder matches as well. The SmackDown! Match that opened the show though was better than the Raw, it seemed more stable and choreographed than the Raw that seemed more messy.

The SmackDown! Side had a great match to open the show, highflying moments big moves and more, not to mention of course a deserving winner. My pick of the match Daniel Bryan was the winner. I was rather pleased.

Later on the Raw side saw Del Rio win in a less impressive match, still good but was messy, little mistakes were spotted every now and again.

Before the WWE Title match we had the World Title match that had an extra stipulation that was if Randy was disqualified he loses the belt. That became the result as Christian spat in Randy’s face sending him in a frenzy, beating on Christian to the edge of a 5 count until he kicked Christian in the balls.

Christian was awarded the belt but Randy went after Christian beating on him and RKO’ing Christian on the Spanish announcers table. As he was leaving he came back and did it again. Another tremendous match between these two men.

The only other matches were the Divas match that I didn’t really pay attention to and the Big Show vs. Mark Henry which was reasonable. Nevertheless those two matches don’t take away from how good this event was, it will go down in history, it will be spoken about for weeks, months, years!

I give this PPV a solid 5 stars out of 5!

WWE must have something good to come, as I say let’s hope they don’t drop the ball. Raw tonight should be an interesting one, what will be the outcome of Punk leaving? Will there be a new belt? Will Punk surface in a few months on a rival brand with the WWE Championship? (I wouldn’t have thought so.) But the way this storyline has gone almost anything is possible.
