The Money in the Bank Ladder match has been a tradition for two decades. Thanks to the briefcase, several wrestlers captured their first-ever WWE World Championship. Stars like, Adam ‘Edge’ Copeland, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Carmella, Tiffany Stratton, Dolph Ziggler, and many more had all captured their first major championship by cashing in Money In The Bank.
Recently, the current WWE World Champion, Gunther, shared his thoughts on the concept of Money in the Bank. While speaking on the Masked Men Podcast, Gunther claimed that he sees Money in the Bank as a shortcut to the top of the food chain. He doesn’t find it very gratifying.
“So, first of all, I wanna express my disgust for the Money in the Bank briefcase, whatever you call it — stipulation or — I remember back then when some of those big cash-in moments happened and some of those guys won a big title for the first time in their career and it’s because they run out with a briefcase and there’s an already beaten opponent who’s just, yeah… lay on top of him for three seconds. I don’t know. I never found that very gratifying.
“So that’s never something I was interested in participating (in). As of right now, I don’t know. Maybe there’s a little bit of honor left in Seth Rollins to not use it like that. But yeah, I’m not too worried about it to be honest… It’s a shortcut. When you win something big, you wanna earn it. I don’t know. Never found (it) gratifying,” Gunther said. [H/T Fightful.com]
The current holder of the briefcase is Seth Rollins.
Do you agree with Gunther?
