The Women of Smackdown Live competed in the first ever Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The match ended in controversy after James Ellsworth climbed the ladder and awarded Carmella with the briefcase.
Many fans were pissed off that WWE booked a man to take away from the Women’s big moment. It appears as if some of the female talent of WWE were not too thrilled either.
Some of the women of WWE took to social media to respond:
I grew up in this business. I gave my life to this business. I’m not letting some no-chin freak take my #MITB opportunity away.

I didn’t come to #SDLive to play games. I’m here to be the best & represent a brand. @realellsworth is a joke and so is that win. #MITB

If @realellsworth wants to compete in the #SDLive women’s division, he can step through the ropes anytime. I’ll be happy to break his arm.

.@realellsworth just stole an opportunity not only from the #SDLive women’s roster, but from the ENTIRE women’s division. #MITB

Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
For me, as a woman and a big fan of women’s wrestling, that ending was basically a slap in the face to all of us that were behind and excited for the women to finally get a MitB match. There is no reason for Ellsworth to have been involved in that finish and to do it like they did just cheapened the whole thing.
