WWE Money in the Bank results
Money in the Bank has become one of the key WWE shows of the year, just outside the Big Four. This year’s event, set for Sunday at XL Center in Hartford, Conn., will be a significant one, likely pushing storylines – and starting new ones – with an eye toward the summer and beyond.
The drawing card for Money in the Bank is the ladder matches from which the event takes its name. For the third straight year, there will be two Money in the Bank matches – one featuring men, the other women. The winners will get to “cash in” on a title match of their choosing in the future.
Money in the Bank 2019 features 11 matches, including the kickoff show. In addition to the ladder matches, Seth Rollins will defend his WWE Universal title against A.J. Styles; Kofi Kingston puts the WWE Championship on the line against Kevin Owens; and Becky Lynch will play double duty, defending the WWE Raw women’s belt against Lacey Evans and the Smackdown title versus Charlotte Flair. Plus, The Miz and Shane McMahon continue their heated feud in a steel cage.
Marc Raimondi will recap all the action as it happens, Sean Coyle will provide ratings for every match and Andrew Feldman will be live at the venue providing additional coverage.

Match in progress.
This should set up The Usos as the top contenders to Daniel Bryan & Rowan’s Smackdown tag team titles. So, presumably, The Usos will be spending time on SmackDown moving forward despite switching to Raw on the Superstar Shakeup.
The finish came after a Double Uce on Bryan. The Usos nailed Bryan with a double superkick on a suicide dive attempt, leading to the final spot just moments after The Usos took out out Rowan with a double suicide dive.
This was a solid match for what it was, simply a teaser for what will probably be a pretty solid tag program. Rowan did a lot of heavy lifting here, including a nice double superplex on both Usos, and looked perhaps the best he has since returning from injury.
Bryan & Rowan as a tag team was not something necessarily foreseen, but is a nice shot in the arm to a division that could use some freshness, especially on Smackdown. And no one is going to complain about The Usos being in the top title feud from an in-ring perspective. Now, maybe we can get some tag straps made of hemp.
