411's Rob Stewart checks in with his look at tonight's WWE Money in the Bank 2022 premium live event...

good on WWE for going with a young guy who is new to the main event scene! It’s time for the Men’s Money In The Bank. And I have NO IDEA who is going to win this, though the pre-show made the ENTIRE STORY about Riddle, so… I’m spending almost the entirety of this match trying to figure out what the problem is with my computer. I thought adding him to this contest was just a red herring, but it’s not. The ones that are too wet, and the ones that are too dry. 9:51pm: The Usos won, and the match did pick up dramatically in the back end, so that is nice. I definitely thought Theory was going to walk out with the belt. I guess it’s the first color change she has had since she came to the main roster. I can put aside all the work I have for four hours a month to enjoy these. And I barely know who is in those. This is another WWE PPV that I did not realize was happening until I found out the day before. Also: I love you, and I want to know how your day is going, too!

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.

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.

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.

Two first-time MITB match winners, and two titles change hands.

Likewise, Bianca Belair kept hold of her Raw Women's Championship in a relatively straightforward victory over Carmella; the EST of WWE hitting the Kiss of Death for the win. In a bout against Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Riddle, Sami Zayn, Omos and Madcap Moss, it was Theory who was the somewhat surprising winner who claimed the MITB briefcase. Post-match, Liv Morgan successfully cashed-in her newly-won MITB briefcase to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion after countering an ankle lock into a roll-up for the 1-2-3.

WWE telegraphs the finish; Liv Morgan has two huge moments; Ronda Rousey doesn't care.

Carnage was a rule of thumb in the men's match. As usual, it was up to the roster to deliver. He dropped one belt earlier in the show before coming back for some ladder match magic and sneaking his way to the briefcase.

This promo is merely the latest in line of shots exchanged between Theory and Cena as the two are heavily rumoured to square off at SummerSlam later this month. For those in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, they were treated to a post-match promo where Theory called out Cena and reiterated that his time is now. Following his win in the titular men's ladder match at last night's Money in the Bank premium live event, Theory once again called out John Cena after the show went off the air.

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.

He's become popular enough with the fans that it'd work, and it's also true that big Bob can work with all shapes and sizes. Yeah, the more one thinks about Bobby being featured heavily on Monday nights going forward, the more it makes sense. That kinda makes Bobby Lashley Raw's top male titleholder by default now he's the United States Champ.

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.

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.

The 2022 edition of WWE's Money In The Bank has come and gone. What were the best matches of the pay-per-view?

The match started slow and methodical, with The Usos working at a pace like Roman Reigns. But that was because they were given tons of time, and things steadily built up throughout. In the end, it was the late entrant Theory who won it, taking out Riddle after a match filled with carnage, great spots, and smart storytelling. The men did just edge things when it comes to the battle of the ladder matches this year, with a great encounter between many top stars. There were counters on display throughout, and that played into the finish with Lashley slipping out of the A-Town Down to set up the Hurt Lock for the win in a fun encounter. This one was all about the moment, and that was certainly an epic one, but the match wasn't memorable. This got a major reaction and seeing her capture the title was an amazing thing to witness, but in terms of a match, there wasn't much to write about.

WWE Money In The Bank results: Liv Morgan cashes in to beat Ronda Rousey for SmackDown Women's Championship before Theory wins briefcase.

WWE Money In The Bank is available on demand on the WWE Network. Later in the night, Ronda Rousey beat Natalya to keep hold of the SmackDown Women’s Title in the weakest match of the night, which had flashes of fun action but was kept brief and was in a difficult spot. Liv Morgan made sure WWE Money In The Bank 2022 was her night as she won the briefcase and cashed in to win the SmackDown Women’s Title.

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.
