10 New Directions For WWE After Night Of Champions 2023
4. A Raw Men’s MITB Winner?
Yes, yes that is a picture of Dominik Mysterio celebrating with title match squash artist extraordinaire Rhea Ripley. It's totally deliberate too, because yours truly wouldn't be against Dom Dom becoming 'Mr. Money In The Bank' and carting that briefcase around for a few months. Why not?
Mysterio Jr Jr is over, man.
He's also a Raw star, and it makes sense to put MITB on someone from that brand. Let's be real here: Cody Rhodes is probably the only man worthy to tear down Roman Reigns' dual title dominance long-term. So, by having someone like Dominik pull down the case in London, WWE would be able to tease him cashing in on Seth Rollins.
Y'know, the same Seth Rollins who cleverly carried the rookie to a killer 22-minute 'Street Fight' back at SummerSlam 2020. If you've forgotten about that one, then revisit it. Might be a neat refresher for title bouts to come in the future.
