WWE Raw: No one is going to listen to your briefcase anymore

WWE Raw: No one is going to listen to your briefcase anymore

The Money in the Bank briefcase has become one of the most interesting crossroads in WWE today. For a wrestling company focused.

On creating memorable moments, the idea created by Chris Jericho around 2005 went from being an interesting platform for “halfway” superstars.

To becoming one more element that is cast by chance during a year of wrestling. programming. If I had to handpick the year Money in the Bank.

Took a nosedive, I’d point to 2012 with a John Cena getting this award he didn’t need for an opportunity he missed eight days later. I’m not saying.

That briefcase handling has been horrible all the time since (in fact, the best trade ever happened three years later). But it is from there that.

Constants are repeated, such as the short time the contract has been ostentatious, or an unsatisfactory final result (which does not necessarily refer to.

The success of the exchange). For example, we have the 2020 briefcase, when Otis won it at the top of Titan Towers, he lost it almost 200 days.

Later to The Miz, and the latter kept it another 120 days to win the WWE Championship… and lose it in a week. I’d say the female version.

This prize has a more satisfying handling, but it’s hard not to look at the Ms. Money in the Bank track record and point out that almost all of them redeemed.

Their briefcase the same night (or in Asuka’s case, not even if want had to redeem it). And we arrive at 2022, a year that became of great changes.

For WWE in many aspects thanks to the unprecedented creative vision that sank its nose into the plate. Triple H has been consistently applauded for.

The approach he has brought to RAW and SmackDown over the past few weeks, and expectations were high with what Money in the Bank could be in his hands.

In fact, rumors still circulate of a triumphant return of the stipulation to WrestleMania, the show where he was born.

And since it is healthy to remember that no one is perfect and no booker has the status of “creative god”, Triple H’s vatuta delivered on RAW.

What I consider one of the most chaotic, unusual exchanges, and that at a certain point encompasses everything What is wrong with Money in the Bank.

Austin Theory is a talent that was greatly benefited by the old management of WWE, with a Vince McMahon who served as “godfather” for various.

Achievements such as the United States Championship or the same briefcase that he carried for 129 consecutive days.

And it was that same briefcase that killed the fool on the night of November 7, when he decided to aim one step lower and challenge Seth Rollins.

For the United States Championship. This brought me mixed feelings, as actually opening the game beyond the world title would give a new meaning.

To the briefcase. The creatives would have the opportunity to use it as a justification for new interesting moments without compromising the current world title, especially in cases.

Like this year with a special guy like Roman Reigns carrying both belts. But the execution of this idea was far from satisfactory.

In true Big Show style, Bobby Lashley served Seth for Theory, but also cost the latter the opportunity with an attack. Mr. Money in the Bank went home empty-

Handed, initially leading us to believe that we wasted weeks of construction just to fool around…again. I do not think it is the worst redemption of the briefcase.

In my personal opinion it surpasses those of others who did obtain their victory with the prize. But all its development shows why this award urgently.

Needs a facelift. Not wanting to justify bad timing, but Austin Theory had the misfortune to be Mr. Money in the Bank while a larger story unfolded.

With world titles that was far from pausing at the time (and it will likely be several more months to come). That is even a possibility).

I wouldn’t want to see something like Money in the Bank being erased from history, even after what happened on the last RAW.

But in my opinion it is necessary to rethink a much more solid bookeo and establish an unprecedented aura to the concept so.

That it once again attracts the attention of those who see it less every day as an interesting tool among the many that WWE handles.
