Possible reason behind lackluster WWE Money in the Bank PLEs in Triple H era

WWE CCO isn’t a fan of the Money in the Bank concept!

According to WrestleVotes, WWE CCO, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque isn’t a fan of the Money in the Bank concept. Following the report, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful also pointed out that Levesque has never held the briefcase himself, never even been in one of the matches, and was also never cashed in on.

This revelation made many WWE fans angry as they were already blaming Levsque for the lackluster MITB events, which had questionable bookings.

Winning the Money in the Bank briefcase in a quick way for rising talents to capture gold in the promotion. Austin Theory won the men’s MITB ladder match to win the contract in 2022. However, the cash-in and his trajectory afterwards have been horrible.

Theory cashed in the contract on the then United States Champion Seth Rollins on the November 7, 2022 episode of Monday Night Raw. However, outside interference from Bobby Lashley cost him the match. Vince McMahon personally chose Theory as his protégé and one of the future faces of WWE, but during Levesque’s reign, his career has taken a nosedive and doesn’t seem to have recovered.

Levesque’s booking of the 2024 men’s Money in the Bank also raised many questions as despite multiple new names, Drew McIntyre won the match, but the questionable decision continued as he then cashed in later in the event during the World Heavyweight title clash between Damian Priest and Seth Rollins.

However, CM Punk interfered in the match, costing McIntyre, which made sense as it was predictable due to their feud but then why not cost him during the ladder match to further keep Drew away from the title, and allow fans to not suffer through a full year without a Mr. Money in the Bank?

While these issues and questionable bookings have raised many questions, meanwhile last year, one of the rising talents in Tiffany Stratton not only won the MITB ladder match but then went to cash in successfully, capturing the title in her first year on the main roster. The storyline and teases of her cash-ins made for compelling television, which catapulted her into a main event attraction.

Despite his personal reservations, Triple H can replicate the Tiffany Stratton story this year and deliver on an amazing Money in the Bank PLE, after the fiasco that was the 41st edition of WrestleMania.

Money in the Bank 2025 will emanate from the Intuit Dome

The sixth edition of Money in the Bank is set to air live on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. This will be the first MITB to stream on Netflix, and as usual, it will feature stars from both the Raw and SmackDown brands.

As per tradition, the promotion has kicked off qualifying matches for both the men’s and women’s ladder matches. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, and Seth Rollins have qualified for the men’s MITB ladder match, while Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, and Giulia have qualified for the women’s ladder match.

Lyra Valkyria is also set to defend the Women’s Intercontinental title against Becky Lynch in the rematch. Cody Rhodes is also set to team up with Jey Uso to battle the team of John Cena and Logan Paul in a tag team match at the PLE.
