(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/wrestletix\">WrestleTix<\/a> reported that over 9,000 were distributed for the event. The last time WWE was in KeyBanks Arena was Dec. 2 last year for Smackdown and it drew 6,570, so a big improvement and another sign of WWE momentum.)<\/p>\n<p>-Biggest pops of the night were for Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. There was a pretty big dropoff for third. The table spot during Miz vs. Tommaso Ciampa got the third-biggest reaction probably.<\/p>\n<p>-Seth&#8217;s music got a big crowd reaction both times it was played for his entrance.<\/p>\n<p>-The low point of crowd investment was for the women&#8217;s tag match, which only lasted a few minutes. There were some Buffalo Bills chants during this.<\/p>\n<p>-The crowd chanted about the size of Miz&#8217;s balls during his match.<\/p>\n<p>-The crowd was with Ricochet for the most part, but it might&#8217;ve had most to do with the fact that he was trash-talking Logan Paul. When Logan came out, fans were mostly focused on booing him.<\/p>\n<p>-Shayna Baszler got a pretty decent reaction when she came out. There was a &#8220;Shayna&#8217;s gonna kill you!&#8221; chant briefly. I think they should make Baszler the babyface in this officially.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4185387194\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-When Damien Priest first came out for the six-man main event, he forgot the Money in the Bank briefcase. Ring announcer Samantha Irvin ran out with it. Samantha was great all night, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>-As a final note, I have a lengthy commute to work and I really appreciate all of the VIP podcasts that keep me company during those drives. It&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorchvipinfo.com\">well worth the monthly membership price<\/a>. Like Mick Foley off the cage, take that leap, everyone!<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAIN EVENT TAPING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Natalya beat Xia li in the first match. Natalya got a big p0p coming out.<\/p>\n<p>-Indi Hartwell beat Dana Brooke.
