I don't even get what the point is in anymore. Now we're complaining about how he cashed in his briefcase and we shouldn't cut him any slack for wanting to prove he's a legit champion but people keep getting involved?
Yeah, because I think this story is very lackluster.

Yeah, that's probably one of the most controversial title wins. Lol
Yeah. Lot of folks hated that lol. Tbh to me that’s worse than a money in the bank cash in just because he had no claim to it other than just asking Rey lol

I think just a lot of people don’t like the money in the bank itself and to be fair a lot of people are speculating that Triple H probably doesn’t either, which is why he basically threw the briefcase away in one night.

Maybe, but I suspect Tiffy will hold it for a while. My problem with it is most of them just cash in the same way, there's little variation.

My guess is not and not because I didn’t like the drew Thing because I actually think the booking made sense but if you think about it, he added the king of the ring getting a title shot, stipulation a month before money in the bank and then he had the money in the bank winner lose their briefcase on the same night meaning there’s gonna be a full year without a men’s money in the bank briefcase. Doesn’t sound like it’s something he wants to book around.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if MITB gets replaced by King of the Ring fully and the MITB becomes a more rare Mania occurence again.

I don't think people have anything against the match.

I do think they've exhausted every thing they can do with the briefcase though

Maybe idk. I mean they been a couple times this happened before. Kane did it, and Ambrose did it I know. I believe Alexa did also. So Vince did it and kept it around also. But then the King of the Ring thing wasn’t there those times. So who knows. :lol hopefully you’re wrong

Almost all the women winners have cashed in the same night they won it

I don’t think any of those times are you referring to are when they lost that match though. Plus that wasn’t when they just added a similar stipulation a month prior to a pay-per-view.

That’s the kicker for me is giving the KOTR winner a title shot. Triple H is a long term Booker and he probably feels more comfortable doing that than having a briefcase with less restrictions on the booking.

I guess those all slipped my mind. Only reason I remember the Alexa one is it’s always in my Facebook memories every year where I made the photo of her as champion my Facebook banner lmao

I imagine for similar reasons, because Vince probably didn’t care to have to think about a woman, holding the briefcase and having to actually plan for it.

Although I think it’s different having them cash in and then win versus having someone cash in the same night and lose, which then means you don’t have a money in the bank briefcase winner, or money in the bank champion for an entire year.

Yes. I mentioned the KOTR thing being added. Doesn’t matter if it’s a win or lost however, because it’s still a year without one, like you mentioned. :lol winning doesn’t change there isn’t a person with the case for a year
