Tonight’s Money in the Bank PPV is historic. Regardless of what happens, tonight will be etched in history. It is the first time in WWE history that there will be a MITB match for a shot at the Women’s Title. While that is the focus of the event, there are several other matches that offer some intriguing possibilities. Both championship title matches feature unlikely competitors. Every Smackdown title is on the line tonight.
But the main focus of the night is the Money in the Bank matches. That includes the historic women’s match.
Here’s what went down.

People were NOT pleased with that finish:
That was completely misogynistic & undermining that a woman couldn't win the briefcase w/out the help of a man. 1 step forward.. #MITB @WWE

This is not what I had envisioned for the FIRST EVER Women's #MITB match. @realellsworth and @CarmellaWWE just robbed the #WWE Universe.

Even returning Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan wasn’t OK with that finish:
Absolutely unacceptable and cheap. The circumstances surrounding the Women's #MITB match will be the FIRST thing addressed on #SDLive.
