Ladder Match Promo

All eight men and women from Raw who will be competing in tonight’s ladder match are atop ladders, and the women start arguing about who will end up with the briefcase. Kurt Angle is interrupted by “Constable Corbin” at one point, and Corbin is rocking a new haircut. He’s finally taken the ultimate step by shaving his head, and he looks SO much better for it.

The bickering among the men and women was cool, and I liked the nods to the Mixed Match Challenge. Alexa Bliss threw her support behind Braun Strowman, while Finn Balor received support from Sasha Banks. Neither Balor nor Strowman are favorites to win the briefcase, though both could be great options to cash in on Brock Lesnar to end his record-breaking reign as Universal Champion.

There were some funny lines in this segment, including Kevin Owens complaining that Strowman’s height gives him an advantage in the ladder match. Strowman’s primordial scream was nice, but it paled in comparison to Bliss’s glass-shattering screech.

Grade: B-, This was a solid way of hyping up the Money in the Bank ladder matches, though the opening to the segment was a bit rocky. I’m excited for the matches, and it also appears that Natalya will be 100% for the women’s ladder match.
