Slimmer’s WWE Money in the Bank 2024 Review

Welcome to 411’s WWE Money in the Bank 2024 Report. We are LIVE in beautiful Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Not gonna lie to y’all, I got a little confused about what time the Kickoff Show started, so I’m a little late to the party tonight. The production team is having all sorts of problems with the audio at the moment, but hopefully they get it all figured out before the show begins.

Trish Stratus, the host of Money in the Bank, comes out to the stage and announces that JOHN CENA IS HERE! Cena comes out and makes his way down to the ring. Cena has a “The Last Time is Now” towel and a “After This U Can’t See Me” shirt. Cena says that tonight he officially announces his retirement from WWE. He knows that we might have a lot of questions. Like, why here? Why Toronto? He wants to talk about Canada, and he wants to talk about Canadians. He’s seen waves of prosperity during his career, but he’s also seen hardship when no one knows your name, no one wants to be your friend, and only the most dedicated fans stand by your side. During his entire career, he’s learned that whether WWE is hot or cold, Canadians always show up. But why now? Because it’s Money in the Bank, the ultimate symbol of opportunity. Cena’s farewell is filled with opportunity. The Royal Rumble 2025 will be his last. The Elimination Chamber 2025 will be his last. And WrestleMania 2025 will be the last WrestleMania he will compete in. Cena tells everyone that if you want some, come get some, because the Last Time is Now.

The final score: review Amazing

The 411

Money in the Bank was a great show that benefited immensely from only having five matches on the card. Bron Breakker looked phenomenal even in loss, and Tiffany Stratton’s ascent continues. Some may say that having Drew McIntyre win Money in the Bank and then unsuccessfully cash it in the same night was a waste of MitB, but it served as even more fodder for McIntyre’s inevitable explosive showdown with CM Punk. The biggest news of the night may be Solo Sikoa pinning Cody Rhodes in the middle of the ring, setting up a potential singles match with Rhodes as well as a truly epic showdown with Roman Reigns whenever he does finally return.
