    • ]The article states that Tiffany Stratton won the Money in the Bank briefcase, while another article states that it is not mentioned whether she cashed it in or not[1].
    • The articles differ on who Nia Jax defeated: Michin or Mia Yim[2].
    • One article states that Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews lost to Angel and Berto of Legado del Fantasma with interference, while another article does not mention any interference[3].
  • Deception (70%)
    The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses their opinion that Tiffany Stratton's celebration was 'predictably' interrupted and that Nia Jax had a 'dominant performance'. They also only report details that support their position, such as Jax winning the match and beating down Bayley, but do not mention any instances where Yim made a comeback or came close to winning. Additionally, the author makes several observations about various aspects of the show that are not directly related to deception.
    • Jax won with the Annihilator but Bayley saved Yim from suffering a second.
    • The Bloodline.WWE Welcome to Bleacher Report’s live coverage of WWE SmackDown on July 12. Two people may have won briefcases at Money in the Bank, but only one was wise enough to hold onto it past the end of the show. Since she is still in possession of the case, Tiffany Stratton celebrated her victory.
    • SmackDown opened with Stratton coming out to celebrate winning Money in the Bank, but she only got to say a few sentences before being interrupted by Bayley. They traded some insults before Nia Jax joined them and promised to win the title at SummerSlam.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes several appeals to authority by mentioning WWE and the names of wrestlers and matches. For example, 'Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of WWE SmackDown on July 12.' and 'SmackDown opened with Stratton coming out to celebrate winning Money in the Bank, but she only got to say a few sentences before being interrupted by Bayley.' These statements do not provide any logical reasoning or evidence for the fallacies they are implying. Therefore, I am scoring this article a 85 as there are several appeals to authority throughout the text.
