WWE Money In The Bank 2023 LIVE REACTION — fans shocked as top star LOSES for first time in three years, John Cena BACK
New recruits
Rumours suggest that WWE representatives met with some unnamed stars as they look to hire some new performers.
The discussions reportedly “went well” in London.
LA Knight shock
There was shock when LA Knight failed to grab the briefcase.
Damian Priest got him by the throat and it proved his final obstacle on the way to victory.
On the decision to see favourite LA Knight miss out, Triple H said: “For him, I know LA Knight was a massive favourite coming in tonight, continuing that ascent.
“But, you know, great things come to those who wait, right, and that rise is just getting started.”
McIntyre rumours rubbished
Drew McIntyre made his return at Money in the Bank for the first time since featuring at Wrestlemania 39.
Triple H addressed speculation about his time out the ring, saying: “I read stuff all the time that’s printed and put out there. ‘Sources say.’ 75 per cent of it is completely off base.
“If Drew had an issue, it’s news to me. He was out with an injury and getting stuff fixed. While he was out, he had something else to get fixed so we did it, and here he is.
“He’s an amazing performer. He is one of the highlight superstars in this era. Thrilled to have him back and hopefully, he’s here for the rest of his career.”
Wrestlemania to London?
After the success of last nights’ event in London, Triple H was asked if fans could see Wrestlemania hit London some time soon.
He thanked John Cena, claiming he put him in an “unenviable position”.
The WWE chief expressed his love for the English capital, saying: “I have been coming here since the early 90s, and it’s spectacular.
“Some of my favourite events here ever – my favourite things I did in my career have happened here, even sometimes without the benefit of television or it broadcast anywhere else.
“The reaction here was always off the charts.
“As far as WrestleMania goes, it’s tough. I wish it was that easy, I wish it was as easy as saying, ‘Man, it’s phenomenal there, let’s go.’
More international events to come?
Triple H gave fans a huge hint that more international events are coming.
He said: “You can look back at the years prior to that – skip the covid one – it’s not really been a common occurrence.
“Montreal, sold out, record sales. Puerto Rico, sold out, record sales, Saudi, sold out, record sales. London here, sold out, record sales.
“We are a global company. We intend to be a global company, we intend to be global. So, never say never for any of it. The intent is there.
“If there’s a way to get a lot of these international events done, we’re hellbent on doing them.”
Rhodes enjoys chants
Triple H has revealed that Cody Rhodes enjoys some of the rude chants from British fans but father Dusty Rhodes disagrees.
Roman Reigns was the subject of the fans’ attack.
As explained in his press conference, Cody said he and his dad disagreed on this, but he feels like if the crowd wants to play, let them play, let it ride.
He indicated he may not agree with some of the chants and some may not be acceptable as someone with a younger fanbase, but let the fans rock.
He said if London is gearing up for a WrestleMania, they might want to keep that in mind.
He also said some of the chants are hard to understand and he always has to ask what they mean, and whether they are good or bad, but it’s fun.
