yes, but it has to be one of those cut out magazine-type cutaways. like rey is a frozen picture 10x bigger than he is, tumbling down the side of a static building, then we cut back to real time as he lands it.

just, as bizarre as you can make it, amplify it x10.

aj never had full control of the breifcase on his own, he immediately fumbled it once corbin went down, corbin pulled, aj pulled back and went to lift it and the case just flew away from corbin's pull

....and?

Both guys took down the briefcase simultaneously, Corbin released the case and AJ had it. That he lost it a second later makes no difference at all, that has NEVER been a thing before in any MITB ever. The belt came down and the guy who took it down was AJ Styles.

The closest thing to this in the past was Ellsworth (ugh) handing the briefcase to Carmella, and that was down to him not being a competitor. That finish was also derided for being loving awful, so doing a deviation of it is even worse.

Like, Otis winning is awesome, but that was an awful way to do it. Especially since they had a month to edit it so they could have easily made it look like Corbin and AJ lost their grip on the belt simultaneously and Otis was the unexpected beneficiary. Instead, they had a month to edit and what they put out was AJ having the belt in his hands for like a second before "fumbling" it (which has never been a thing before) and Otis getting it.

It's... awful.

Last year Brock showed up 20 minutes into the match and just casually climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase so I'll take a fun wrestler winning on a weird and kind of dumb technicality

oh I agree that it was an awful way to do the win. Like I can see what they WANTED to do and it was still stupid but the alternative was for Otis to have the big show ladder hidden up on the roof, since they wanted to go with the too fat to climb joke earlier in the match

They should have not had a ring at all, and had Tucker use a Forklift to raise Otis up to acknowledge that he does, contrary to popular belief, still have a tag team partner. Unless he was murdered at Elimination Chamber, because that's the last time I remember him

Of course Titan Towers has a spooky casket room its the central hub for undertaker to teleport into when he is needed at corperate, If vince is fully willing to have a fully functional gym put into that place in the 80's it doesnt surprise me at all that he would have a casket room for undertaker to teleport into

I fully expect Tucker to turn heel on Otis any day now, he has the girl he has the contract, its a ready made jealousy angle to break the team and push otis to being an upper midcarder

if you're hurt at a show and the director of a show comes to check on you, it really is a big deal/what should happen.

WWE isn't typical theater or performance, but it's still just a bunch of drama kids with big muscles.

Vince is still a dumpster fire of a person but he did the good thing there like he should.

Yeah, but no one in the singles match for the Tag Team Championships had control until Morrison hit the ground.

If AJ and Corbin had lost control at the same time, fine. Too bad this was live, so they couldn't do another take.

Much like with Wrestlemania, I didn't realize that they were showing this live on my Korean cable TV channel. So I just turned in to see Zelina Vega's pretty man No.1 rip off his pants and then continue fighting.

Oh, and there was also a screen in screen where Lashley and Lana were having a lovers tiff.
