WWE Money In The Bank 2014
The fifth annual WWE Money In The Bank pay-per-view, which takes place at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, is now officially underway.
The usual bad-ass video package airs, focusing on the two Money In The Bank ladder matches, one for the usual title shot briefcase, the other for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
After the video package wraps up, we head live inside the arena where pyro explodes, the PPV theme plays and Michael Cole welcomes us to the show, promising that history will be made as a new champion will be crowned tonight and a new number one contender will be determined as well.
WWE Tag-Team Championship
– The Usos (c) vs. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan
From there, we head straight to our first match of the evening, as The Usos theme music plays. Jimmy and Jey make their way to the ring, as our WWE Tag-Team Championship match will open tonight’s pay-per-view in the ring.
The Wyatt Family cut-in happens, and then Luke Harper and Erick Rowan make their way to new theme music. This theme song is different than the new song that played on Monday. No accordian, just a rock-and-roll song that is preceded by a little kid singing one line of “he’s got the whole world in his hands.” Harper, by the way, has somewhat of a new look, ring-attire wise. Nothing drastically different, just a dirty looking vest over his normal stuff.
The bell rings and Harper and Jey Uso kick things off for their respective teams. Jey gets some offense in and then tags his brother Jimmy into the match. Jimmy picks up where Jey left off until Harper stops him in his tracks with a dropkick, which looked impressive considering his size.
Harper tags in Rowan and Rowan continues The Wyatt Family domination over the champs. Rowan goes to work on Jimmy in the corner and then tags Harper back into the match.
Harper and Rowan continue to keep Uso isolated on their side of the ring, as The Wyatt Family duo keeps the momentum in this championship match thus far. Uso finally makes the tag, and he comes in with a world of fire and energy, dropping anything that moves.
The Wyatt Family ends up cutting off Uso’s big comeback, scoring a near fall after a seated power bomb that the fans bit on somewhat. A loud “this is awesome” chant breaks out as the pace of the action picks up. The finish sees both of The Usos hit a double-superplex off of the top-rope to Rowan. They follow that up by each hitting a top-rope splash onto him, with the second Uso scoring the pin.
Winners and STILL WWE Tag-Team Champions: The Usos
Dean Ambrose Sends A Message To Seth Rollins
We see Dean Ambrose backstage in street clothes addressing Seth Rollins. He talks about being torn between climbing the ladder to grab the briefcase or using that ladder to bash-in Rollins’ face. Bottom line, that Dean Ambrose promo was awesome. Words can’t do it justice, it was a lot of attitude and performance. It’s not just what he said, but how he said it. Really good stuff.
WWE Divas Championship
– Paige (c) vs. Naomi (with Cameron)
After the Ambrose promo, we head back to the ring. Out first for our second PPV match of the evening, is the former Funkadactyl, Naomi. After she makes her way to the ring, out comes the current WWE Divas Champion, Paige. Cameron, by the way is at ringside in Naomi’s corner.
The bell rings and here we go. Within seconds, the two battle out to the floor. They spend only a couple of seconds on the floor before the action returns to the ring. Paige gets the better of Naomi early on, so Naomi ducks out the back door and heads to the floor to take a moment to recover. Naomi yanks Paige off the apron and out to the floor and then hits a dive from the ring out to the floor, splashing onto Paige.
The action returns to the ring again, as Naomi remains in control. JBL puts Naomi over on commentary as the most athletic Diva in WWE today. Naomi gets Paige in a submission hold. Paige screams in pain but ultimately escapes. We see Cameron at ringside looking bored.
Paige turns the tide and starts to take over the offense in the match, but Naomi cuts her off and ends up hitting her with her Rear View move for a close near fall. Paige cuts her off again. By the way, whenever Naomi seems to be in trouble or in pain, we see a shot of Cameron at ringside looking happy. In the end, Paige hits her finisher for the 1-2-3. Paige retains.
