If you were part of an angry mob this past weekend following an intentionally controversial finish to the women's Money in the Bank match, congratulations! Credit: WWE.comWWE played its overly sensitive fanbase like a fiddle in times of ratings peril, and coming off a year-low rating of 2.072 for the June 13 episode, SmackDown Live will be the beneficiary. Yes, this was the wrong finish, and that was the plan all along. Almost immediately following the match, WWE aired a tweet by Commissioner Shane McMahon. Using pious terms like "bad booking" and "wrong finish" puts nobody above being worked.
