The real star of WWE Money in the Bank isn’t on the card, according to Paul Heyman.
“The Special Counsel” to “The Tribal Chief” believes that Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is the star of the show, though he isn’t scheduled to compete. As Heyman told the Dallas Morning News, the event is all about Reigns, as the appeal of the main event is based around the right to challenge “The Head of the Table” for the gold.”
“I also would suggest that the star of Money in the Bank is truly Roman Reigns,” said Heyman. “Because the entire premise of the Money in the Bank event is the main event of the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, in which one man will pull down that briefcase and inside of that briefcase is a contract that is essentially a sword of Damocles over the title reign of Roman Reigns, because the winner, the holder of that contract, can challenge Roman Reigns for the championship anytime they want over the course of the next 365 days. So, though Roman Reigns is not on the show physically, the spirit of Roman Reigns and the challenge to Roman Reigns is the main event of Money in the Bank.”
Reigns’ next scheduled televised title defense is WWE SummerSlam, where he will put the gold on the line against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match.
