Earlier, it was explained that Vince isn't keen on sentences like, 'The title is on the line'. He can't stand the phrase, 'Wrestler A has a title shot against Wrestler B' either. That's a strict no-no to the WWE boss. To make sure everyone knows this, he even stuck a bracketed "no title shots" next to the word "Shot".

'Opportunity' seems to fly, because every announcer and their grandmother in WWE uses that when they're talking about Money In The Bank or upcoming title matches.
