Ryan, Jesse and special guest Carl Longhawn review Saturday’s WWE Money In The Bank show. An event that could best be described as "not WWE's best effort." A messy finish to the Damian Priest vs. Seth Rollins match, complete with a botch that everyone is talking about. Setting up a challenger for Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam that doesn't seem worthy of the spotlight. And John Cena is retiring? Plus, an unsuccessful cash-in and two Money In The Bank matches that...definitely happened!
