The Original RAW Money In The Bank Winner Revealed

[Big Hoss Rambler]

-- Sources within WWE report that John Cena was not the original choice to win the WWE Title Money in the Bank match. The original plan, set weeks before, was to have Chris Jericho win the match and then become the first person to ever cash in the shot unsuccessfully that night after Daniel Bryan and CM Punk's match. At that point, the plan was to have Punk vs. Bryan as the main event.

WWE decided on the week of the show to go with Cena winning instead. This is why the MITB match got promoted to the main event; officials felt that the ending would lack impact if the show ended with Punk winning and no one cashing in the briefcase.

I'm so glad that they decided to go with Cena instead. :yay:

Not for nothing, but that idea is beyond stupid. Having Cena win is already stupid, but having Jericho win just so he'd lose in the same night thus feeding him to Punk again? :haha:

But it would probably start the supposed face turn that he's through right now.

Yeah, right. Cena winning was obvious from the start.

How disrespectufl is that to CHris Jericho. He is a legend in the business, has provided so much for WWE, and all of a sudden they wanted him, the creator of the Money in the Bank, to be the first wrestler in WWE history to unsuccessfully cash in his briefcase? That is a load of bullshit... I am actually very glad that John Cena won now and saved Chris Jericho some embarrassment....

Makes you wonder what they are gonna do to Cena now

 

[Samalan]

Does this mean they are going to embarrass John Cena?

 

[Matt]

[seabs]

Doubt this is true tbh, it looked pretty obvious Cena would win.
