Mustafa Ali Was Told Huge Money In The Bank 2019 Change During Entrances

Mustafa Ali has revealed that he only found out about a huge change to the 2019 Money in the Bank match during entrances for the bout.

At Money in the Bank 2019, Mustafa Ali had his hands on the briefcase before Brock Lesnar returned to win the match. Ali has revealed that he was only told he was not winning the contest as he was about to go through the curtain.

Speaking with Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT, Ali stated that he was told to freeze when he grabbed the briefcase by Vince McMahon moments before his entrance.

Joking that he gave us the gift of boombox Brock Lesnar, Ali said:

“We got nothing other than ‘you’re in the match’ the week-of (the MITB match). Day-of, I’m winning it! Man, this is my moment, this is everything I’ve been working for, I can’t believe it, this is awesome. Then the match is about to start, so the entrances have started. I may be wrong about this, but Baron Corbin is making his entrance and I’m soon to be making my entrance, and that’s when I get pulled that I have to go see the boss.

(Vince says) ‘This is what I want. Grab the briefcase. Shock. Then you’re frozen. This is what I want.’ And you have to realise, right before you’re about to go out through the curtain is not the time to argue. You’re getting a direct order about what is to be expected of you. I know some people say ‘why didn’t you just grab the briefcase!’ (laughs). I was more concerned with grabbing my check that week! So I grabbed my check.

“At the end of the day, it’s not my show. The guy who writes this, who owns this, who decides what happens told me specific instructions and I said ‘OK, not a problem boss.’ And I went out there and did exactly what I was asked to do. At the end of the day, like, hey, it worked right? People are still talking about that moment years later. Everyone’s sad about it, but guys, we got Brock listening to the briefcase like a boombox and dancing – I gave you that gift!”

Brock Lesnar made his return at SummerSlam, coming face to face with Universal Champion Roman Reigns following the main event. after the show went off the air, Lesnar hit John Cena with some suplexes and an F5.

Also on the show, it was announced that Money in the Bank 2022 would also air from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
