WWE's Chief Content Officer, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, is reportedly not a major proponent of the Money in the Bank briefcase concept itself, according to WrestleVotes Radio. This news came to light during a discussion about the unusual late-August scheduling for the 2026 Money in the Bank premium live event in New Orleans.
Speaking on SportsKeeda's WrestleVotes Radio, TC of WrestleVotes stated, "I've been told Triple H not a big fan of the Money in the Bank prop as a whole." This is noteworthy given Triple H's influential role in WWE's creative direction and the longstanding status of the Money in the Bank ladder match.
It is a career-altering opportunity for WWE Superstars. The winner of the match receives a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match at any time and place of their choosing for up to one year.
The Money in the Bank concept was created by Chris Jericho and first introduced at WrestleMania 21 in 2005. Due to its popularity and the excitement surrounding the cash-in possibilities, it evolved into its own dedicated annual premium live event in 2010.

A women's version of the Money in the Bank ladder match was later introduced in 2017, offering the same opportunity to the female roster. Over the years, numerous WWE fans have witnessed iconic cash-ins that have led to shocking title changes and the crowning of new champions.
Despite Triple H's reported personal view on the "prop," the Money in the Bank event remains a key fixture on WWE's calendar. The 2025 edition is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 7th, from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California.
That card will feature both Men's and Women's Money in the Bank ladder matches, alongside other bouts such as Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena teaming with Logan Paul against World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes. Following this, New Orleans is slated to host the 2026 Money in the Bank PLE, reportedly in late August.
This is a shift from its usual June/July timeframe after WrestleMania 42 was moved from the city. WWE has yet to confirm that WrestleMania 42 is moving locations. That is expected to change in the coming weeks.

How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank: Schedule, Peacock stream info, match card, preview, predictions
'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes is back and he's out for revenge against the man who cost him the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania, John Cena. Rhodes will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso to face Cena and Logan Paul in a star-studded tag team clash at WWE Money in the Bank Saturday, streaming live at 7 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock. Two weeks ago, Cena continued his reign of terror by attempting to sabotage Jey in his title defense against Paul, before Rhodes appeared for the first time since WrestleMania to save Jey, setting up Saturday's tag team match. As part of his goal to ruin pro wrestling before he retires at the end of the year, Cena has said he would love nothing more than to leave the World Heavyweight Championship in the hands of the social media star. 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK! 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK TO STOP JOHN CENA FROM SCREWING OVER JEY USO! #SNME Seth Rollins will headline the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and will face five Superstars still looking to win their first world championship in WWE. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Andrade, El Grande Americano and Rollins will hope to climb the ladder and seize the contract suspended above the ring that guarantees them a championship match at a time of their choosing. This year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will feature three Superstars who were called up to the main roster within the last few weeks. Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer will try to outmaneuver each other and former world champions Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Naomi for the right to call themselves Ms. Money in the Bank. And Lyra Valkyria will defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship in what is sure to be a heated rematch against Becky Lynch. Last month at Backlash, Valkyria successfully defended the title, only to be viciously attacked by Lynch post-match. The following week, Valkyria retaliated by sabotaging Lynch in her Money in the Bank qualifying match. And if the stakes weren't already high enough, if Lynch loses Saturday, she has agreed to never again challenge Valkyria for the Intercontinental title. But if Lynch prevails, Valkyria has agreed to raise Lynch's hand and acknowledge her as the victor. How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank on Peacock Date: Saturday, June 7 Time: 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT Streaming: Peacock Location: Intuit Dome (Inglewood, CA) 2025 WWE Money in the Bank match card* Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Solo Sikoa vs. LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins vs. Penta vs. Andrade vs. El Grande Americano Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Stephanie Vaquer Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship *Card subject to change 2025 WWE Money in the Bank predictions Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul With the Undisputed title not on the line Saturday, it could be an opportunity for Rhodes to get some payback for his loss at WrestleMania, while keeping the belt on Cena. But ultimately, it doesn't seem productive to slow Cena's heel run in any way with so many potential dream matches that could take place before he retires at the end of the year, such as against CM Punk. PREDICTION: John Cena and Logan Paul defeat Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match Seth Rollins' new villainous faction has grown even stronger with the addition of Bronson Reed, and eventually Rollins is going to need some gold around his waist to properly stand tall as the leader of the group, à la Triple H in Evolution. A Rollins victory would also give Paul Heyman something to hold on his way to the ring again. PREDICTION: Seth Rollins wins the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match It feels too early for any of the recent main roster call-ups to wield the Money in the Bank briefcase and Rhea Ripley doesn't need it. And surely there's no way they would let Naomi utter the 'it wouldn't be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair' line to Bianca Belair on SmackDown last week without a big payoff, right? PREDICTION: Naomi wins the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship I'm so conflicted by this one, so I'm going to go out on a limb here. In order to avoid having the promising young Valkyria raise Lynch's hand in defeat, while also booking 'The Man' strong for her eventual feud with Bayley, Valkyria wins Saturday by disqualification after a merciless attack by Lynch. And perhaps Bayley returns to save Valkyria. Remember, Lynch admitted to injuring Bayley backstage before WrestleMania in order to take her place as Valkyria's tag team partner and the feud between the two legendary Four Horsewomen does not need a belt. PREDICTION: Lyra Valkyria defeats Becky Lynch by disqualification to retain the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
