- Solomonster reacts to complaints that Drew McIntyre cashing in his Money in the Bank contract for a loss thanks to CM Punk was a WASTE of the briefcase. He explains why it was NOT a waste of the briefcase and, in fact, meant a hell of a lot more than many other failed cash-ins.

Don't know why people want to see someone walk around for months with a briefcase so bad when we just seen Priest do exactly that and cash in only 4 months ago lol.
Absolutely.
It’s the same guys that were complaining why Priest didn’t cash in earlier when it already became clear to the not-so-narrow-minded that he was planning on cashing in at Mania, involving Rollins who did the same thing back in the day.
Having Punk and Drew involved, too, was just a happy accident since it was originally only the plan to have Rollins face Punk which fell flat due to him getting injured at the RR.
Not having the briefcase around for the next 12 months will actually be refreshing,
Agree nothing wrong here. Everything went according to plan.
"Hey guys I know it's bad writing but here's even worse writing that i defended when it was happening" 😂😂😂😂 good point mark
And what was wrong with that?? The cash-in teases were at least interesting to start and gave good dialogue.
Now that the briefcase is gone, there’s nothing to really look forward to.
@@georgealvarez1195 lol what?
McIntyre said he knows where his family lives....dudes lost his mind lol
I really hope we get a home invasion segment on Raw
@@Medicesca At the rate things are going for Drew, AJ Lee would probably punt him into next year.
@@MedicescaBrian Pillman Steve Austin vibes
@@_BigTimer85 CM-16
we assume its gonna be Punk and Drew in the Cell at Bad Blood, so obviously before that point they need to have a match at SS and in Berlin, I think at SS you have Punk win due to Seth being in the way, Drew can tie the feud in Berlin and then they can do the Cell and break off their feud - if Punk stays healthy through this I probably book him against cena for mania 41 as the night 1 main event
imagine Rock Roman / Cena Punk co-main eventing WM 41, THATS INSANE
@@ItsDemidoverRoman is most likely going to be a face when he comes back
Drew Punk Rollins
The most likely main event for Punk is against Rollins for the world championship at Night 1 of Wrestlemania in Vegas.
People get so used to things being done a certain way for so long that when you change things up it turns their world upside down lol and they act like it can't be done a different way
I don't mind shit being done differently. I was not just a fan of this.
Why did we need to see another "Punk screws McIntyre". We've seen it twice. And every fucking time it's "McIntyre is going to lose it". We get to Raw and it never meets up to what people hype up his reaction will be.
And I'm sorry. I love Gunther. But I'm not interested in seeing him scrowl, talk about purity of the ring for another 500 days as champion. When we just got done with that shit 3 months ago.
Lmao facts!
What about this was done a different way? We've seen the MITB be wasted on screwjobs countless times-hell, we just saw it two years ago with Theory-and it's served to devalue the concept every single time. Jey Uso and LA Knight could've done infinitely more with the briefcase and told better stories, and it actually would've helped their careers. Nothing is accomplished by throwing away yet another cash in, other than basically saying, "We don't wanna book the MITB concept for an extended period of time."
@deputydog3137. That’s not the issue, the problem is WWE have treated the MITB gimmick like a joke for the past 8 years now, almost a decade of treating like a complete after thought.
@@NuMetalfan1996 both are issues and true in WWE because I see it all the time some just won't admit it
This reminded me of Rock vs Angle at 2001 No Way Out. Earl Hebner got confused and didn’t count 3 after Rock gave Kurt a Rock Bottom and Kurt did not kick out. Rock was visibly upset and you can see him tell Hebner (after he gave him another) something like “make the fucking count.” 😂
At this point the only satisfying result of the McIntyre/Punk feud is Drew completely obliterating Punk
I sure hope so, Punk really has felt like the heel in this feud ever since WMXL. Whether he prayed for it or not, it's not Drew's fault Punk's body has become glass.
Nah, Punk is going over. He’s gotta move on to Seth and I’m here for it 😎
Glad to see I’m not the only one burned out on this “feud”.
@@DLRX eh, whether Punk is a heel or not, Drew is 100% a heel and not sympathetic in the least bit.
Only satiating result? I think people are forgetting that Drew started this drama with Punk, Drew just can’t handle the pressure Punk is sending back his way lmao
They wasted the briefcase by not giving it to ME! ‘Nuff said! 😂
Wrestling fans are the first to say they want something different and when we get it we're the first to complain. Drew's failed cash in accomplished several things:
- prolonged the Drew/Punk angle
- Gives Priest a successful defense where nobody looks weak
- Includes Seth in the angle which not only gives him something to do away from the title but brings him back into his Punk rivalry
- Indirectly helps Tiffany Stratton's storyline as hers is the only MITB angle coming out of the ppv
Unfortunately they don't see it this way it's like they lack comprehension of the story being told
@naheemquttlebaum2267. But WWE have treated the MITB like a joke for the last 8 years now, how is this different to Otis winning MITB and then giving it to Miz?, Theory cashing in on the US title, Lesnar putting himself in a match he wasn’t even in, Corbin was a bust, Strowman was a bust.
How is this fucking different?.
We want the MITB taken seriously again to push new stars into the main event permanently, like Edge as the perfect example.
The MITB should be given to someone just on the cusp of being a main eventer, LA Knight was the perfect guy for that.
You have LA Knight win the MITB and him do the babyface thing of him facing Cody at SummerSlam, for then Orton to turn heel and costing Cody the match for LA Knight to win.
So you get an Orton and Cody feud that doesn’t need the title, and LA Knight can fight the heel bloodline guys.
That would have been so much better booking.
@@NuMetalfan1996LA Knight doesn’t need the briefcase. He’s getting a shot at Logan Paul for the United States Championship at SummerSlam, his shot is literally down the road. 😂 Not everyone who wins MITB ends up becoming a star. They have to be ready for it and need it. Not everyone is Seth Rollins or Edge or RVD or CM Punk. Some are just Baron Corbin. Or Jack Swagger, remember him? He won the briefcase, he cashed in to be champion and he was irrelevant before the end of the year because he was not ready for that spot. Nobody needs to win the briefcase and cash in successfully right now. Next year, we’ll revisit.
@@Jeff_Pryce That’s because most of the time WWE pick the wrong winners for MITB, and not who should actually win.
@@NuMetalfan1996 Statistically, that is not accurate. Plenty of right people and stars have won the briefcase. Edge, RVD, CM Punk, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Sheamus, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Asuka, Big E, all of them stars and/or Hall of Famers.
The MITB briefcase is stale and I’m glad they’ve got one of them out of the way quickly.
They raised the lights when the ref stopped his count like Seth actually won that threw shit off even more..
Right lol
***Puts glasses on***
ACKSHUALLY it wasnt wasted because instead of being super mad at CM Punk, Drew is GIGAMAD.
Checkmate Marks😂😂
The briefcase served it's purpose that night that's it it's that simple. Can't say it was wasted just because it wasn't used the way you expected or wanted it to be.
Yes, it served it's purpose by being yet another screwjob for Punk & Drew. What is this? The 4th time this happened now? The only thing it served, was making Drew look like an idiot.
How was it not wasted to you? He didn’t successfully cash in. He held the briefcase for literally an hour and he (Drew) looked like a complete moron
Did they waste the briefcase? No. Did they make Drew look like a complete moron for not just waiting until the end of the match to easily pick off the winner One on One, and instead insert himself into a no DQ Triple Threat match? Absolutely.
He also looked like a moron not expecting Punk to show up. That's really my biggest issue with this.
That's all I needed, someone else who thought that along with me. Thank you.
I think the overall story is that Drew has zero self control when it comes to titles or Punk anymore.
He crashed the post-event segment at the desk without even having a shirt on and ranted about Punk the entire time.
It's not that he's a moron, it's that he's snapped and isn't thinking rationally anymore.
It wouldn’t have mattered if he waited until the end of the match. Punk was waiting for him. He was not going to allow Drew to cash in and win the title.
That is Punk’s MO: he said at Clash at the Castle that as long as he and Drew are on the same brand, he will never allow Drew to be world champion ever again.😂
Yes it was a waste of the briefcase considering he didn’t successfully cash-in. That’s literally the fckin point. The briefcase is now gone and there’s nothing to really look forward to
They’re so used to Vince McMahons erratic booking that when they see something that actually makes sense they still complain. Another reason WWE shouldn’t get their booking advice from the IWC
OMG PEOPLE.GET OVER IT! Why hold it for months again. He said hes Cashing in and did.
I agree wholeheartedly!
@jecj2024. Because people didn’t want Drew to win because he didn’t need it, but LA Knight was a guy that did need it.
@@NuMetalfan1996 No, he doesn’t need it. He’s getting a title shot at SummerSlam against Logan Paul, just relax. 😂
@@Jeff_Pryce That should’ve happened at Mania.
@@NuMetalfan1996 😂 Man, none of you guys have patience anymore.
In the spirit of doing something different with the briefcase I hope Tiffany is the first female to cash in and fail
One thing I don't see a lot of people mentioning...both King/Queen of the Ring and MITB all heels. Perhaps to balance the Rumble winners from earlier this year (though you can debate Bayley's alignment at that point).
MITB is a tool for storyline purposes. It's not a real "ticket" to stardom.
If you look at the comments on the IG posts they do, it’s so funny to read sometimes.
Imagine if Seth turned heel and Seth and Drew become a team, bonding solely over their sheer hatred for CM Punk.
If they did that, they'd be faces in my book.
Didn’t Cena’s failed cash in lead to Punk’s heel turn?
i’d rather a plan set of i’m going to win and cash it in that same night than seeing someone fake cash it in every ppv
Funny thing is there’s ppl complain and say it wasted to further the feud between Punk and McIntyre yet they say that LA Knight should’ve won and than when he cashes in Logan Paul costs him. Furthering their feud. So not ok for Pünk-McIntyre but it’s ok for Knight-Paul.
Also in my opinion the money in the bank has run its course. Ppl were impatient to see Priest cash in and also there’s times those who win don’t look ready or right to win
I'm not mad that the briefcase was sacrificed because I honestly don't care about that either
I'm just annoyed because I'm tired of seeing McIntyre lose in big matches, yes Drew is still one of their top guys and he gets plenty of wins on TV but in terms of big matches on PLEs the past few years, he keeps taking unneeded Ls
Facts
I am pretty sure Drew wouldn’t have re-sign with WWE if there wasn’t a bigger story for him
@@arf10 Did you ever consider that he knows this is all fake? He is in main even angles week after week and when he re-signed I am sure it was for a nice fat contract... Him winning a belt doesnt pay him one penny more. He is a team player in a hot feud... I am pretty sure he is pretty happy about that.
Him losing big matches isn't the problem. It's him looking like a moron in the process of doing so that the problem
@@ThailandDantotherescue what are you talking about? I know Drew got a big contract and he has been on tv weekly. I don’t understand your point
Is Rob Van Dam, the only person who didn't do a surprise cash in and instead used the briefcase to set up a match at a PPV?
Braun did also
Cena also. Raw 1000.
I just saw someone say “make it mean something again. They waste it every year”. With a ton of likes. Yeah, just look at Iyo and Damian. They always waste it clearly. I’m excited to not have the MITB briefcase be a crutch for story all year and that it was actually used to push what is the hottest story in wrestling not named The Bloodline. Plus, the wrinkle of pushing Seth and Punk further, I loved it. And you have Tiffany, who will clearly have a successful cash-in at some point.
I thought you meant Damian Sandow at first lol
Why do they cash in and make it a triple threat when they should wait until the original match is over
The briefcase wasn’t wasted. If anything, it’s now caused a new wrinkle in the Drew-Punk story with Rollins. What his role will be, we’ll have to wait and see.
@EnticinglyDeadly. The Punk and Drew didn’t need a new fucking wrinkle, Punk cost him the title in his own fucking country.
They could have told the same story without wasting the fvkin briefcase. I don’t get why ppl (Solomonster) are acting like the briefcase expires soon.
he got his receipt from what he did to punk, I don't see wtf people don't see it
Outside of Gable cashing in on Zayn for the Intercontinental Title, that men’s MITB briefcase served no purpose. If they’re going to keep it, ditch the random cash-ins, it’s created a generation of paper champions and devalued every incarnation of a word title.
The Drew/Punk storyline was hot without the briefcase, that’s why it was wasted. Give the briefcase to someone else who needs a story, Drew didn’t need to further his storyline by winning MITB. Then if you say, no-one else from the field should have won, then you should’ve booked a better selection for the match.
Two things: 1. What would’ve been a “Better selection”? And 2. Who would they have successfully cashed in on? Cody? Absolutely not, Gunther? Nope. A mid card title? Y’all would’ve ripped them apart
@@Sparks0114 1. I wasn’t suggesting the field for MITB was bad but I was trying to beat contrarians to the punch by them asking who else should have won the briefcase. 2. What is forcing WWE to have these extremely long title reigns? It makes a lot of these title defenses predictable and just filler.
There was no better selection in that match and if u say jey uso I’ll laugh at u. He’s no where near a main event talent
@@mrrobluxo2369 Gable, Knight, Hayes, literally anyone besides Drew.
@@martonyomchale342 Gable has his own storylines at the moment and will get to the title on his own.
LA Knight is hot enough where he can win without the briefcase AND he has Logan Paul at SummerSlam for the United States Championship. Same with Jey, he’s so over he doesn’t need it.
Melo JUST GOT THERE. He’s not ready for that kind of momentum. If you give the briefcase to someone who isn’t ready yet, you know what you get? You turn them in Austin Theory. Or Baron Corbin. Or even Jack Swagger. 😂 Is that what you want for Melo? To kill off his push completely? Melo will be a major player in the coming years, but he needs time to develop carefully.
Im really curious of how the world title picture is gonna play out by Mania. Assuming Gunther wins at SummerSlam I have a hard time seeing him losing it before Mania given the length and dominance of his two prior title reigns . But it's also hard to see some combination of Drew Seth and Punk not getting the belt and competing for it by Mania. There's a lot of mouths to feed in this Raw main event division and it'll be interesting to see how Hunter handles all these moving parts.
Solo. I understand your opinion on why it wasn't wasted, but at the same time i can see(and agree) with a lot of people saying that the feud between Drew and Punk was big enough to the point where the briefcase wasn't even necessary to make it the biggest story of the second half of 2024 on raw
to me it was wasted, when the match didn't have at least one other name that we could say "well, maybe this guy will stop mcintyre and win the briefcase" it was a predictable outcome all the way from the winner, to the outcome of the cash in.
Now, to me, with rollins on it, I would think this could lead to a triple threat match on bad blood. Punk x Drew x Rollins inside hell in a cell
Or like GoodMicWork talked about, a different Triple Threat for Seth. Basically, since he wasn't pinned, he could demand that wasn't the match he signed a contract for, he wants another match. And luckily with that botch, Seth could also make the argument that he had Priest pinned for a 3 count, so the Triple Threat could be Seth VS Priest VS Gunther.
I didn't have a problem with this. People are always complaining about stuff
I thought Seth vs. Priest was a very good match (outside of that botch where Priest just didn’t kick out because someone in production missed their cue), and IMO it only got better after Drew cashed in and Punk beat the fuck out of him to screw him out of the title for the fourth time. The MITB was not wasted because it was used to add even more heat to an already super heated rivalry between Drew and Punk, AND it also helped work Seth back into the feud between them beautifully. Besides, most of the people complaining about the failed cash-in are the same people who would’ve complained if someone like Jey Uso won the briefcase instead.
Don’t really agree with you Jay uso cashing in and winning the title eventually makes sense especially if it’s a heel champion like Damian priest
John cena’s failed cash in led to nothing? Are u sure about that
I’m so sick of hearing this as well. Bunch of whiners and complainers.
Then stop watching youuu fckinnng mark
The way I see it, the storylines were set. So yes, the MITB briefcase was a waste: but the storylines will make up for that:
-Gunther could win the WWE Title over Damian Priest, resulting in Damian Priest vs Finn Balor at Survival Series
- Judgment Day Civil War
- Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes
-LA Knight vs Logan Paul
- Bloodline Civil War
- Rock vs Roman
Def not a waste since Drew winning was the best storyline. However, Drew is cooked, he’s lost multiple times to Rollins, Gunther, and even Priest screwy finish or not. He’s failed a cash in, and lost twice in his home country….yikes
So Drew cashed in on Seth for the championship, so how does Damien come in and pin Drew, it wasn't his match anymore. It would've been a triple threat if Seth didn't alrd win and the match was still going on. Made no sense whatsoever
The only thing that pisses me off about that match is the referee botching the three count. I understand why he did it, however, it's always been stressed that no matter what happens (or doesn't) happen during a match, the referee must follow through with the pinfall.
All this proved to me is that the refs are aware and are told about the results prior to each match. Now I look at things differently
Ummm cenas failed cash in lead to cm punk turning heel the same night.
Yes you said it
Priest forgot to kickout i thought it was the music too but he looked mad at himself and kept saying sorry and my bad 😅
Baron Corbin
Austin theory
Otis
Nuff said
& John Cena
Damien Sandow!
Not ready.
Not ready.
Didn’t belong there.
And not ready.
😂
They did something different. Different is good
Those complaining are NOT PAYING ATTENTION to the storyline. CM said he was making Drew's life a living hell and he is doing just that. Screw him out of every situation. If the people complaining don't understand that, the bingo halls is THAT WAY
I’m complaining because it made Drew look like a moron.
I was a big fan of MitB for the first couple of years, but it's so tiresome now. I wish they put it on ice for now and bring it back in a few years, so it feels fresh and exciting again.
I saw Rollins’ involvement as a potential back up if Punk gets hurt again. Maybe theres a long term plan to pivot to Seth vs Punk, but it also feels like if Punk either isn’t ready by Summerslam or gets hurt coming out of it, they can have Seth and Drew fill the void (even though we’ve kind of seen them enough already…)
Him using the briefcase in the same night and losing it was a good decision because they used it for one of the hottest storylines going right now.
That spot was a dumb spot. Music doesn't stop a pin fall
There’s a couple of times wwe failed with the briefcase. After Priest I knew they were going back to not using it for anyone like Jey or L.A.
I thought it was great. It makes me want to see Drew McIntyre vs CM Punk even more.
The fact that the music playing was supposed to break up the pinfall is dumb. I miss the days when someone interfered & no music played at all.
Sorry I disagree, the briefcase was wasted because Drew vs CM Punk did not need it. This feud was already red hot. The opportunity was wasted on Drew. So yes to me it was a waste. That's just my opinion.
Like Solomonster said earlier, this might be WWE's way of giving the MITB concept a rest for a while.
And if people can't see Jey or LA Knight winning a world title by July 2025, that's on Triple H's booking. That ain't on us. What, Cody and Gunther need to have forever reigns? We just got done with Roman and Seth having long reigns. Cody HAS to hold onto the WWE title until Rock shows up at Mania? Rock's probably winning that match. Then Rock HAS to keep the title until he loses it to Roman at next year's mania? Give me a break!
@@cwell510I agreed with him on that. I think it would be for the best if they got rid of MITB, to be honest.
@@atticus8659Exactly! I am not a fan of long Title reigns. Triple H made the wrong call. Gunther and Cody don’t need to have long Title reigns. WWE needs to make new stars.
@@atticus8659This is what kills me with Gunther. We just got done with a 666 day long title run. Its fucking insane people are clamouring for another 500+ run from him.
I'm telling you right now. If Vince still had the own and wasn't captilising on LA Knight or Jey the way HHH is. People would be dragging him.
LA Knight has now failed MITB twice. King of the the ring. 2 world title shots. And even his WM win didn't mean shit because AJ just beat him 2 weeks later.
But here's a midcard titles you will maybe win.
I look at the Money in the Bank Breifcase as a tool that Should be utilized to Move the next main eventer up to that next level. This year, and with the Lay of the land of both titles so far, it looks like that tool is being used by the King of The Ring Crown for Gunther to win that title, and when he wins it, it will be a long reign.
In a way, the briefcase WAS used that way. Drew McIntyre is a MUCH bigger star now than he has been since he won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. At this time last year, few people cared about him. Now? EVERYONE is talking about him. So in a way, the briefcase did its job…just now how we’d expect. 😂
If anything it'd be out of character if Punk didn't wait. He doesn't give a sh*t about the brief case. He's said half a dozen times at this point Drew will never be WORLD CHAMPION while he's there. He doesn't care about mitb, it's not the title itself and logically he's at all the shows drew is so as long as he's there when whoever is champion is there it makes sense & punk did exactly what he said he'd do. Straightforward, logical story telling.
The question is what is drew gonna do to punk to make it even whenever it happens. That man is gonna kidnap AJ or Larry at this point lmao
I think the Gunther/Damien Priest match needs Rollins more. Drew and Punk don't. I would have them do a trilogy with Rollins costing Punk in the last match setting them up to face each other at Wrestlemania XLI.
Because if someone else won if they cash in on cody or gunther they might still lose. So wwe just give it drew and have cm punk scew him after the cash in. So wwe just say just threw it out early.
Gable's not winning yet. Mellow he's not winning Jay. He's not Andrade. He's buried in La night is chasing us gold or US title
Make the world title match a triple threat match and work the botch into the angle of getting a shot at the title.
I called Drew losing but just wish it had been after Priest had beaten Seth. It just sucks triple threats are used so much to get out of logical booking.
I’m happy the briefcase is gone already …
Only so many times you can drag it out & they just did it with Priest ..
I think a cash in is wasted when it happens for no reason, when they lose just to lose. This cash in wasn't just Punk screwing Drew out of winning a title for the 74th time. Now Rollins can't get another championship match until Priest loses (I know, one whole month lulz). And it also added fuel to the Judgement Day story since Priest has been trying to tell them he doesn't need their help to win, but he once again had outside interference helping him win because of the cash in.
k
👏👏👏
I think it's good to have a break from the briefcase 💼 for the men this year. Priest held onto it for almost it's entire duration last year so to have it utilised already will make it even better for next year. I also think it fitted perfectly in with the current storyline they're telling with Punk and Drew.
I wonder how many that are saying “they wasted the briefcase” are also saying “if you don’t love the Wyatt Sicks as we do then you’re just haters!”
😏
Damien Priest is the World Heavyweight Champion and he's a total afterthought
I actually consider Barron Corbin's cash in to be a bigger waste. This pushed a storyline along and it was interesting. Corbin got wasted on Mahal and embarassed by Cena. That's it. Nothing good came of it. He ended up doing Happy Corbin and King Corbin after that. Nuff said.
6:47 The MITB briefcase it's kind of useless for the coming year because Gunther is not losing his championship when he wins it and Cody is not losing the WWE championship before he faces The Rock
WWE didn't waste the briefcase I'm glad drew McIntyre lost this adds more heat to CM punk vs drew McIntyre it doesn't need the world title I don't know why people are complaining about this also punk screwed seth rollins there's already two feuds when punk gets cleared that botch was a mess lol Michael Cole said holy shit when punk attacked McIntyre that was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They kinda did though.
@@marcusjones9084and on the same night also lol why couldn't they wait for drew to cash in at summerslam that was a huge waste of time to have drew win it for him to ultimately have him lose it.
It’s not a waste. It’s nice to see many fans defending an angle that subverts expectations. If this were AEW, then the hatred would be universal, but WWE has a lot of grace with fans right now. Would be cool if more companies got a chance to flesh out stories before they got rejected.
the summerslam card is not looking great. no roman, no rollins, priest vs gunther is a weak title match, cody vs solo is not strong for a summerslam main event. what the heck?
I'm surprised that people are acting like the briefcase is such a guaranteed benefit for whoever holds it, after all the cases (heh) of it instead being a complete hinderence.
Good riddance to it, even if only one year. Besides, isn't there a second briefcase out there?
From what I have been hearing CM Punk may not be cleared for SummerSlam & it could be Seth v Drew with Punk as the ref. That could be interesting as well. Now Punk has to make a choice on who he hates more. Now I get people want a pay off, but if he is not cleared then it's going to have to wait. There is also 2 storylines for CM Punk upon returning. I think Drew needs to beat Seth as he is losing too much. Seth & Punk dont need the wins.
Why not give it to chad and cash in on sami on raw hell austin ass tried with the us title
Chad doesn’t need it. Once he gets a new crew behind him, all he needs is the right opportunity and he will win it. Besides, they probably don’t want to waste a cash in on a championship that isn’t the world title anymore. The last time they did that, it made Theory look like a buffoon.
Aside from Drew only Jey and LA had potential with the briefcase but just like Solomonster said Jey was not going to be a World Champ on any brand in the near future since Cody ain't losing anytime soon and Gunther will just begin his WHC run. LA's arguement can be made but then the best you can do with LA Knight is him putting his Briefcase against Logan's US Title at Summerslam (Like RVD Vs S. Benjamin from Backlash 2006) but then what? Where do you go afterwards with Knight as the US Champ and MITB holder?
Do another Cash in at Wrestlemania when the plans can be Punk Vs Rollins for WHC or Gunther Vs Brock and now Cena's involvement considering his retirement tour. No one practically had any chance of winning at all this so Drew winning was the right call to further enhance Punk Vs McIntyre.
This is the first time a failed cash in will actually mean something. With Drew and Punk being suspended, I expect Seth to advocate for them to be reinstated so a triple threat can happen.
one of the best mitb so far in my opinion cause this story is white hot rn
They wasted the belt.
I don't know if Punk is cleared yet. Maybe inserting Rollins into the situation and turning it into a triple threat could be to mask that Punk isn't at 100 percent. McIntyre and Rollins could do most of the work. Just my thought.
I had the same thoughts as soon as it happened
Problem is Priest vs Guenther is not a big enough for a SS...way to predictable
This is obviously a plotline for the upcoming Summer Slam.This being the third time that Punk screwed Drew out of the title setting up story line for match.
Fourth time.
Damien Priest had the brief case for so long, we kinda did need a break from MITB
My issue isn't the mitb briefcase my issue is cause of the finish and him forgetting to kickout priest looks like a complete joke of a champion and he's supposed to be facing gunther next
WWE did wasted. What they could've done was having CM Punk screwed Drew McIntyre in the MITB match. WWE should've have Jey Uso win the MITB briefcase, then later Solo challenge Jey for the briefcase. Solo beats Jey and become the new MITB holder. Solo do a failed cash-in attempt on Cody, but was screwed by Roman. That would've work.
Is having people play hot-potato with the briefcase really any better?
@@3DBrawlChannel Better than having someone win it and do a failed cash-in on the same night. That's a waste. Drew doesn't need the damn briefcase anyways. WWE should've had Punk screwed Drew in a MITB match. The Damien Priest botched wouldn't have happen.
Ehhhh….that still “wastes” the cash-in because it wouldn’t be successful. Getting rid of it quickly to fuel a major storyline was really their best play.
@3DBrawlChannel Explain what hot potato the briefcase means huh tough guy
@@holdmyweight3597 Hot potatoing is when you have a title or prize change hands in rapid, nonsensical fashion.
An example is how The Rock and Mick Foley traded the WWF title several times in the lead up to Mania 15.
Or in 2011 when CM Punk beat John Cena for the WWE title and immediately walked out with it, so Rey Mysterio won the newly vacated belt a week or two later, only for Cena to win it from him later that night to set up Punk returning for a title vs. title match.
I could actually picture a scenario where Jey Uso won MITB... and after Solo loses to Cody, Solo pressures Jey to surrender the briefcase to the Bloodline, to get the Universal title back in the family. Jey says he will do that himself, but Solo insists that is the role for the Tribal Chief, and since none of the family is backing Jey, he can't be Tribal Chief. Jey points out that Solo already lost to Cody, so the family should be backing someone who hasn't... and he looks at Jacob. Solo says the Bloodline already has their defined roles: the Tongas will get tag team gold, Solo will be Universal champ, and Jacob will take any title he wants because he'll be Mr. MITB. It's only a question of if Jey will give him the briefcase, or if Jacob will take it by force. And Jey actually hands over the briefcase, but he stares down Jacob first, and promises that if Jacob doesn't do his uncles proud, Jey will be the first one in line to take whatever title Jacob wins away from him.
You may be thinking it's way too soon for Jacob to have gold in WWE, and you're right, Solo would take the briefcase and use it for himself.
This great because it brings this back as a 3-way feud. Rollins has been brought back into it because punk screwed him too by gape stance
Ah, Money in the Bank have been wasted since after Wrestlemania 26. Sure you got your Dolph, Danielson, Punk, and Auaka. But overall, I don't think Bank is special anymore. So tiresome these days.
EXACTLY MY POINT‼️‼️‼️ With drew failing to cash in, it adds more fuel to his feud with punk. I swear these fans cry over anything that doesn't go their way😭😭😭😭
How to fix the botch? Make a tag team championship match and book the same referee and repeat the same, hold the count on a Judgement Day member, and everyone will know that something is going on, and when the Judgement Day wins and the referee raises their hands, a hotel room key falls off the referee hands, and go with the Liv helped them by manipulating the referee angle.
MITB is a wasted & outdated gimmick in itself...
there's nothing really anything new to do with it no more other than someone cashing it in on the day/week it expires. outside of that idea, what else can you do with it? It definitely needs a break & let King & Queen of the Ring replace it as one of their major shows & move both the men's & women's MITB ladder matches at WrestleMania where it should be.
Maybe add different stakes to it just to keep it fresh. idk
Completely agree, especially when 9 times out of 10 everyone, heel or babyface, cashes it in the exact same way. When Edge did it back at the end of 2005 it worked perfectly because it fit his character and it was the first ever cash in. Every other person since then does the cheap cash in after someone has already wrestled a grueling match and just wins (usually) with little to no struggle. When a heel does it it's just a cheap knock off of what Edge did for cheap heat, but it's even worse when a babyface does it because it makes them look like a chicken shit heel as opposed to a valiant hero. MITB truly is outdated.
I'm glad they did away with the men's briefcase. It makes sense for Drew, and now it leaves Tiffany Stratton with something to work with. Lets face it, she definitely needs that plot device and this way there's more focus on it.
I can see the point of it, but my issue is more that how many times do we have to have Punk screwing Drew to advance the story??? He's did it TWICE before, so for a THIRD time? It's old news honestly.
Seth has no legitimate reason to be mad at Punk. He was on the ground when Punk was kicking Drew’s ass. He could’ve attempted to win but he didn’t
I think it's wild how we've gotten to the point where fans want the MITB to be a constant thing. It's never been a particularly good or well-used idea. This is one of the best and most memorable uses of it ever.
@JusRed48. We want it used how was it originally used from 2005 to 2007, to be a platform for guys on the cusp of being a main eventer like Edge and RVD was to put them in the main event permanently.
@@NuMetalfan1996 Didn't work out so well for RVD.
@@NuMetalfan1996 RVD wasn’t in the main event permanently. He screwed himself out of that position getting busted on possession.
I don't know why people are getting mad at the failed cash in. Dude it's great so many things are unpredictable now. It's like watching a movie with no characters having plot armours
If you objectively look at it, yes, MITB was wasted this year. What happened with Drew this year is proof that Triple H isn’t the genius everyone praises him for being. The booking for McIntyre was so convoluted and unnecessarily when there was a much simpler way to book it. Punk should’ve screwed Drew in the actual ladder match itself because it would have accomplished the same thing without sacrificing the briefcase. When the ending of the MITB ladder match happened, Drew climbed to the top alone, and it seemed like he was going to win then that would’ve been the perfect spot to insert Punk. All he had to do was push the ladder over and someone else could’ve profited from Punk’s interference. Imagine the visual of Punk pushing the ladder over and him trapping Drew underneath it so he was forced to watch someone grab the briefcase. That’s a straightforward move and there’s no convoluted steps involved. Also, WWE continues their streak of making Drew look extremely dumb by having him say he’d cash in the same night. The whole purpose of winning the case is to shock the audience when the winner cashes it in. Every time Drew has a big match with stakes, he comes up short each and every time. No one profits from what happened so that’s how you know that MITB was wasted.
And then what? 😂
Nobody would benefit this year because they are not taking the title off of Cody or Gunther when he wins at SummerSlam. So whoever would win would’ve essentially turn into the next Austin Theory. And nobody in that field deserved that. Jey and LA knight don’t need it; Knight has Logan Paul and the U.S. title at SummerSlam, so he’s already got gold in his sights.
Andrade isn’t over enough for the case.
Melo needs a lot more time to get ready. He will get there, but he needs some feuds, crowd momentum and midcard titles under his belt first.
Chad also doesn’t need it. He’s got the Wyatt Sicks and a new Alpha Academy coming, and he will probably get the IC title before the end of the year.
So objectively, the briefcase wasn’t wasted because it pushed a Major storyline and none of the talent in the match were hurt by the decision. They will all continue their upward trajectory.
