WWE Star Criticizes Money In The Bank

WWE

A WWE star has shared his disdain for the Money in the Bank match as a concept, considering it a shortcut to a championship opportunity..

GUNTHER discussed his dislike of the Money in the Bank briefcase during a recent appearance on The Masked Man Show.

Currently in possession of the Men’s Money in the Bank briefcase, Seth Rollins attempted to cash in during John Cena vs. CM Punk at Night of Champions, only for referee Charles Robinson to be shoulder-tackled by the Undisputed WWE Champion, preventing the moment from progressing.

Looking at the history of cash-ins, GUNTHER described his dislike of such opportunistic behaviour as he looked back at past Money in the Bank winners, saying:

“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.”

The comments were made before the cash-in attempt over the past weekend, with GUNTHER sharing his thoughts on Rollins and his plans, stating:

“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.”

On July 12, GUNTHER faces Goldberg in the WWE Hall of Famer’s retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia.

GUNTHER has recently revealed that the match announcement felt a “little out of the blue“.

Rollins has held the Money in the Bank briefcase on two occasions, with his earlier cash-in happening at WrestleMania 31 in 2015, leading to then-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns becoming a Triple Threat.

Seth Rollins would go on to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after pinning Reigns in the match.
