Triple H Is Reportedly Not A Big Fan Of Popular WWE Prop
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. 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.

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. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

John Cena vs. Roman Reigns WWE records, title victories, single wins and more
Image via WWE In the world of professional wrestling, few rivalries capture the imagination of fans quite like John Cena vs. Roman Reigns . Both superstars have defined eras in WWE history , Cena as the face of the company for nearly two decades and Reigns as the dominant force of the modern era. As the industry transitions toward a new generation, comparing these two titans paints a compelling picture of legacy, dominance, and evolution. World Titles and Championship Reigns When it comes to world title reigns, John Cena stands unmatched. With a historic 17 WWE world title victories, the latest clinched at WrestleMania 41 - Cena officially surpassed Ric Flair's legendary record. His reigns span from his first championship win in 2005 at WrestleMania 21 to his most recent triumph after turning heel and aligning with The Rock in 2025. 17-TIME! John Cena defeats Cody Rhodes to break title record: WrestleMania 41 Sunday highlights Roman Reigns, meanwhile, has claimed the world title six times, a number that pales in comparison numerically, but the quality of his runs - especially his 1,316-day reign as Universal Champion, ranks among the most dominant in WWE history. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like After Losing Weight Kevin James Looks Like A Model 33 Bridges Undo WrestleMania Records and main events Reigns has become synonymous with WrestleMania, main-eventing 10 editions of WWE's grandest show, including six consecutive headliners. His WrestleMania record stands at 9–3, and he holds victories over major stars like Triple H, Edge, Daniel Bryan, and even The Undertaker. Cena, though not far behind, boasts significant wins on the grand stage, including memorable matches against The Rock, Batista, and Shawn Michaels. While he doesn't have as many main events, his consistent presence from the mid-2000s through the late 2010s solidified his place in Mania lore. Singles records and fan receptions While both have elite resumes, their paths couldn't be more different in fan perception. Cena was often polarizing, adored and booed in equal measure. Reigns followed a similar trajectory before fully embracing his heel persona as the 'Tribal Chief,' a move that revitalized his character and established him as arguably the most compelling figure in WWE today. In singles matches, the edge swings depending on the time period. Cena's era of dominance saw him go through names like Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Brock Lesnar, while Reigns' recent form includes a decisive win over Drew McIntyre. While Cena's numbers are untouchable and his legacy is enshrined, Reigns has redefined what dominance looks like in the modern WWE. Their paths crossed symbolically at various points, but together, they represent two of the most iconic chapters in WWE history - past and present, with lasting impacts on the future.
