JZ Says
This playlist made the same mistake that the Best of Backlash Part 2 list did – it repeats a match unnecessarily. With inclusions from WrestleMania and SmackDown here, it’s clear that all MITB matches were on the table, so there was really no reason for any repeats. I do enjoy the match (the one that Brock Lesnar won), but I don’t get why it’s here again.

Overall, the match selection is pretty good, with the wins by Rob Van Dam, Daniel Bryan, Baron Corbin, and Carmella featured. We’re also treated to the dual match at WWE headquarters from 2020, which was goofy but fun and a clever way to get around no fans in attendance. Remember when Otis won Money in the Bank? What a weird time 2020 was.

This list suffers from the same problem Part 1 did, and that’s the simple fact that six (seven) multi-person ladder matches in a row can get tedious. If they do Part 3 next year, I’d like to see non-ladder matches from the Money in the Bank pay-per-views.
