There were a lot of disappointed wrestling fans at last weekend's WWE Live events due to the lack of matches in the women's division but it's since been revealed that they were all in Chicago rehearsing for the Money in the Bank PPV. Now, Dave Meltzer has confirmed that while Fit Finlay and Tyson Kidd were the agents in charge of the match, it was actually the latter in charge of putting it together.

Another bout which was completely rehearsed before the show was Ronda Rousey vs. Nia Jax. Whether or not that included the cash-in is hard to say but it seems pretty likely thinking about it. Finlay laid that one out and seeing as fans have been praising Rousey ever 
since, it's fair to say he did a great job. Interestingly, this match was originally going to be the PPV's main event but things then changed.

Why? Well, while Rousey no doubt deserved that spot (which explains why her match went on after WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura), WWE ultimately decided that the "happy ending" of Braun Strowman becoming the Monster in the Bank was the best route to go down in order to send fans home satisfied with what they'd seen. What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
