WWE Money In The Bank 2017 | WORST Wrestling Shows Ever

[@woodengamer7847]

I was always a fan of Baron Corbin and was rooting for him more than anyone else on Smackdown during the summer of 2017, but as soon as he failed his cash in, it's very obvious that his career (much like his hair) has never been the same

[@Braylon1997]

What didn’t help was the fact he had heat backstage because he was arguing with a doctor

[@AJMashUps2863]

Just a small backstage heat destroyed his career. Corbin would've been a way better champion than Damian Priest, but he couldn't 😢

[@FLICKY_______D1]

His recent nxt run has re embellished his career

[@Kalel2.0]

Honestly having the first MITB Womens Ladder match end in Ellsworth winning the briefcase for Carmella was just a plain stupid booking descion and the fact they had to retcon that choice on an episode of SD just shows how they screwed up

[@434444334]

I still cheered cause my man ellsworth is a friend and he represents my home city

[@Braylon1997]

The booking in the late 2010s was atrocious

[@FlawlessP401]

No it was phenomenal awesome booking and the people whining are crybaby identity trash who think women's needed something special when in reality they needed to be stfu and be booked the way men are

[@eaglesviper79]

[@Kalel2.0]

​@@eaglesviper79But unfortunately for all the wrong reasons😂

[@talldarkandginger]

I still think that "heel manager grabs the briefcase on behalf of their client, because technically it's legal" is a genuinely inventive finish, and one I'm surprised had never been done before... BUT the first ever women's match, with a male manager... neither the time nor the place

[@YourDadYoda]

“Nobody even remembered it until I brought it up” That seems to be the case for a lot of WWE in that era…

[@Captain_Pudding]

If memory serves, Jinder went from getting beat by Gronk to world champion in like 3 weeks

[@ΔημήτρηςΚαμπόλης-μ8χ]

SmackDown had a more fluid card than RAW. It was fitting with the "land of opportunity" gimmick and probably was experimenting an alternative approach of booking things. I remember that they were previously stuck in the same Authority storyline (only rotating the faces involved) for almost 3 straight years (mid 2013-early 2016).

[@rw8185]

​@@ΔημήτρηςΚαμπόλης-μ8χ that is a lame way to excuse idiotic booking completely lacking credibility. With that logic you could as well make Michael Cole champ next week.

[@armaggon5920]

Great time

[@ΔημήτρηςΚαμπόλης-μ8χ]

​​​@@rw8185 You are stretching it too far. We are talking about active performers with potential. Mahal looked in great shape and he was a believable champion. Getting beaten by Gronk wasn't as humiliating as you make it sound. NFL players are beasts of nature. A roster full of guys who can potentially beat each other under the right circumstances isn't necessarily a bad idea. It just needs careful booking and execution in terms of in ring psychology. It can make the product more unpredictable, intriguing and innovative, but it's also risky if these guys fail to deliver or connect with the crowd.

[@Lastrit_JME]

@@ΔημήτρηςΚαμπόλης-μ8χhe hadn’t won a singles match in over a year. He had only ever had one PPV match before his world title victory. I get land of opportunity. It was too much too fast for him

I feel like I remember Battleground 2017 being worse (it had a Punjabi Prison match) but tbh, this whole year was painful for the most part.

[@edgecrusher018]

It’s widely considered one of the worst shows ever.

[@dbz1064]

@@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498great Khali thought he actually won the wwe championship too, that was so funny lol

[@BigEvil6686]

Battleground was a solid show. I'll never understand the hatred for it. It opened with arguably the best tag team match of 2017, the women's Fatal Five Way was fun, the US title match was arguably the weakest match of the Styles/Owens rivalry but even their worst match was good, the Flag Match was really good, and Orton/Mahal was the only good Punjabi Prison Match there's ever been.

[@thundercloud280_]

I think this is still the only WWE PPV where I fell asleep while watching the show live

Good thing you didn't come back at Mania 34. Only year where the Women's world title matches were better than the Men's.

[@ianstephenson9721]

Need Royal Rumble 2022 next for this series

[@onuoraawesome7777]

One of the reasons why Money in the Bank 2017 was such a bad show is because of the fact that it was a brand exclusive PPV, which REALLY hampers the concept. Elimination Chamber suffered from being a brand exclusive PPV as well, because a concept like that shouldn't be brand exclusive.

[@Kalel2.0]

The Chamber that year wasnt all that bad that year just really forgettable and really Bray Wyatt winning the WWE championship is only thing people remember about the show but your right centering a chamber exclusive ppv to a brand has proven not a great idea as from 2005-2007 New Years Revolution was Raw Exclusive ppv and the chamber match was the only draw and standout

[@onuoraawesome7777]

@zanethind The 2017 Chamber PPV wasn't bad. But it didn't come with its issues being that it was a brand exclusive PPV.

[@edgecrusher018]

Man, I wish he had mentioned that … oh wait, that was one of the major premises of the video!

[@LukeLeonettiYouTube]

I remember the rumor at the time being that James Ellsworth was going to claim he "identified as a woman" and this would lead to a match between him and Carmella over posession of the briefcase James himself has flat out denied this, so it's not true, thank god

[@edgecrusher018]

I enjoyed this video. But. The ending of the ladder matches aside and the Jinder of it all, this is not actually a bad PPV. And the men’s match is an absolute banger.

[@scottmccurdy6493]

Calling Jinder Mahal a "mid-carder" is being really generous.

My god, so much of WWE in the latter half of the 2010s felt like an utter fever dream. 2017-19 was just utter bollocks. No wonder this is the third show from that time period in this series - and no wonder people were so DESPERATE for AEW to take off.

Brand-exclusive PPVs were generally awesome.

[@matthewfulton4863]

The hill that I am willing to die on is that Ellsworth handing the briefcase to Mella was perfect, exactly what a snivelling heel would have done and fit right into the “princess” gimmick.

[@BoogalooBartholomew]

I join you on that hill. Ellsworth would have gotten involved in any other match why wouldn't he help Carmella win a multi person, no DQ match. Him not interfering would be weird

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Stomping Grounds but will ladders 😂

[@TheAzManiac]

On the subject of Single Brand PLEs i feel like with the new 5 match cards they would actually be a good idea now. Then we might actually get the mens tag titles defended on one.

[@CatsOverBrats]

Wasn't this the PPV where people had been spreading a rumor about Randy Orton's father having died a few days before so they placed him there to be seen on tv to kill the rumor right away?

[@RBAGU]

I HATE the take that the first womans mitb was won by "a man" because it wasn't. The rules dont say ANYTHING about climbing the ladder, its whoever gets the briefcase first, and since elsworthless wasnt in the match is such a dumb point it makes no sense. "Who was the first contestant in the match to hold the case" "Carmella" THEN SHE FREAKING WON IT!! Also why shes recognized as 2x winner

[@tafua_a]

Baron Corbin was actually pretty interesting back then. 2017 Corbin shouldn't be dismissed because of post-cash in Corbin.

[@rubyseverinwhitworth9066]

Imagine if Carmella had cashed in on the night though, then Io Sky would have been the first women to hold the case longer than 24 hours

[@TheAnonymousIndividual]

After 7 years, MITB 2017 has been officially vindicated and is no longer the worst MITB pay-per-view, MITB 2024 single-handedly blew it out of the water in terms of awfulness, and it's not even a debate.

[@kclips4996]

2010 Summerslam or Wrestlemania 27 next‼️

[@musicwarrior3755]

I think the Corbin win was a bit more over than you give it credit for. Yeah, it didn't amount to much and people really soured on him over the years, but I remember people being fine with the finish. It could also be that we got the tease for a Styles-Nakamura match we were all hoping for to mask any issues.

[@calebbonds4632]

This is fraziers reminder to do beach blast 1993.

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 🎉

[@Venemofthe888]

I dont know why MITB was single branded tbh since MITB as a PPV had become a bigger ppv than the B-Shows. In a way it had taken KOTR's place as a big 5 so should always been dual branded

[@thegameking3931]

Kotr was never big 5 lol and mitb always had better rewards than kotr. Only this time they used kotr for opportunity to get world title at big ple. There was big 4 ple until in 2021 or 22 WWE management declared money in the bank to be officially 5th big ple so yeah it's not average b level ple. Those ple which are above than b level are elimination chamber, crown jewel and clash at castle

[@SirAsdf]

WWE in 2017 feels like a collective fever dream we all went through. Like it really puts in perspective why AEW's formation less than two years later was such an awakening. We were reminded that big budget wrestling didn't have to be absolute dogshit.

[@Weatherisbad]

I thought the worst PPV is the super showdown 2020

[@twistedturnip8487]

To be fair 2017 was an absolutely cursed arse abysmal year from the rumble all the way tp survivor series with it only really picking up at the very end of the year because AJ styles was the champ

[@tehjboney4249]

Baron Corbin becomes the 2017 Money In The Bank Ladder Match Winner and goes on to make it clear that he wants the WWE Champion Randy Orton. Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss have a rematch for the Smackdown Womens Title with Lynch retaining the Smackdown Womens Title after forcing Bliss to tap out. Randy Orton takes on Bray Wyatt for the WWE Title in a Wyatt Compound Match with Orton defeating Wyatt and retaining his WWE Title at Money In The Bank 2017.

Imma be honest, this was my first live wrestling show ever and I very much enjoyed it. The only big blemish as far as my enjoyment is concerned is the ending to the women’s MITB match. Otherwise it was a very solid show.

[@Omegasphere]

I've been to both this event and Royal Rumble 2022. No, I'm not OK.

[@nicholashurst780]

Shane McMahon: As we all know the Money in the Bank is a six-person match! So I got the five best women on the roster to prove our women's division is still too thin to pretend we take it as seriously as the men!

[@TheAnonymousIndividual]

To be fair, while I think a MITB match should NEVER have less than 7 competitors (even though the first two at WrestleManias 21 and 22 had 6), 8 is the preferable sweet spot, the 2012 Raw Money in The Bank match had 5 (Cena, Jericho, Kane, Big Show, and Miz). So, it was done once before, but I do agree that a MITB match should never only have 5 competitors, they should always have AT LEAST 7, preferably 8.

[@jefferyjones8399]

Smackdown started off pretty good in the revamped brand split and then became... well... this.

[@optimus2008]

I would say it wasn't one of the worst shows ever. Sure it had it's bad moments but it's usually not what most think of when discussing rotten WWE PPVs. I think the 2017 ranked list had it above a handful of shows. In terms of future vids, I wouldve asked for Battleground 2017 but I think Fraser has made his feelings clear.

[@SchmergDergen]

Ellsworth is a legend and I can't wait until he finally gets his flowers

[@AlanTaylor04]

I was there - my first wwe live show. For some reason every STL ppv I’ve ever seen from WWE sucks, and this was no different. The orton match ended just like the previous ppv, the Maria and Mike Bennett debut was meh, and both ladder matches were seriously deflating. Haven’t gone back to a wwe show since

[@logankerr8090]

soo happy Vinny Mac is gone..

[@andrewbeecroft6509]

The Ellsworth finish would have been moderately acceptable had it not been the first time the women had this match. Not a good finish, but not the absolute travesty it was. It would have made more sense than lesnar winning when he wasnt even in the match...

i watched this as a 14 yo girl who had been so excited about the women getting more opportunities so needless to say i was PISSED when they did THAT

The real crime of this pay-per-view was what they did to Corbin tbh. Poor Corbin, at this point, they should have just given the 2017 men's MITB to either AJ Styles or Shinsuke Nakamura.

[@parkerlyme]

@@manporo5865I dunno man I thought Clash at the Castle was alright I didn’t mind Punk costing Drew then because it was a really good way to intensify the rivalry but I think in MITB case it was worse because it diluted the MITB contract that has already been very diluted over the last couple of years

[@manporo5865]

@parkerlyme I think the storyline itself is beyond stupid. Every time Punk appears, it diverts the attention from the fact that Damian Priest is the WHC. Like Priest's cash in should've been a failure at this point if they are making him play back fiddle in all of this. Then he's basically ony defending against Drew, who is always thwarted by Punk. The one time we get a non Drew defense, it A) grts strapped with a dumb stipulation and B) gets a briefcase cashed in, in the middle of said stipulation match, by DREW! And now this stupid feud is further diluted with what was supposed to be the original feud of Seth Rollins and Punk, all the while, Damien Priest just looks like one of the Aggression era chumps with the Cruiserweight belt

[@parkerlyme]

@@manporo5865 Oh I won’t disagree that Priest looks terrible as WHC, he is just a transitional champion until Gunther

[@manporo5865]
