WWE Star Disgusted By Money In The Bank Concept

A top WWE Superstar isn’t a fan of Money In The Bank.

As Gunther prepares to step into the ring at Saturday Night’s Main Event, he could be facing not one, but two major threats to his World Heavyweight Championship reign.

The first and perhaps most straightforward is Goldberg. As the WCW legend laces up his boots for the final time, he’s also set his sights on dethroning the champion just weeks into his 2nd run with the World Championship.

However, lurking in the shadows is Seth Rollins with the Money In The Bank briefcase in hand. So even if Gunther beats Goldberg, he could still leave the show without the World Heavyweight Championship.

Unsurprisingly, the Money In The Bank briefcase isn’t something the dominant Austrian can get behind.

During an appearance on The Masked Man Show, Gunther took a moment to express his disgust at the Money In The Bank concept and everything the famous briefcase stands for. He added that he’s got no interest in competing in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

“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 Not Alone In Hating WWE Money In The Bank

While Gunther’s annoyance might not be all that surprising, it was reported back in May that Triple H doesn’t like the Money In The Bank concept either.

Interestingly, Triple H never held the Money In The Bank briefcase, never took part in one of the ladder matches, and was never cashed in on by a Money In The Bank winner during his career.

Elsewhere during the interview, Gunther defended his upcoming match with Goldberg, suggesting that he has a lot to gain by beating the WWE Hall of Famer.
