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.
