Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya vs. Tamina vs. Carmella (Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

How is there not a rule that an actual match participant needs to be the one to grab the case? I knew Ellsworth would be a factor, whether he'd actually help Carmella win the entire thing or not, but to have him grab the case and toss it down to her? What a gross finish to the first ever all-women MITB match, having it won by a man.

Again, no problem with him being the heel's hood ornament and cheating for her, but the fact that the rhetoric at the end was "there isn't a rule about it" is just sloppy. It reminds me of how formless some of the Extreme Rules matches were a few weeks ago.

For a second there, it seemed like the decision might get reversed since three refs were arguing on the outside, but it was to no avail. I know too many rules can suck, but no rules can suck even more. Rules are props for good, engaging storytelling.
Up until that finish though, the match was solid. It was fast paced, with nary a low spot and plenty of hard bumps - off the ladder and on the ladder. Every participant should be proud, regardless of the crude tone-deaf ending. I fear "creative" will take the real heat here, rather than it landing on Carmella like they want it to. Story-wise, Daniel Bryan says he'll address the controversy on Tuesday.

Winner: Carmella
