Triple H's honest thoughts on the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase may come as a surprise
Image via WWE Triple H reportedly has his own opinion about the Money in the Bank briefcase, which might come as a huge surprise. WWE is currently under the leadership of the Chief Content Officer, Paul "Triple H" Levesque. The Game, alongside WWE CEO Nick Khan, has been taking the Stamford-based promotion to heights never reached before. The next Premium Live Event they are set to present is WWE Money in the Bank, scheduled for two weeks from now. Speaking of that, there has been an interesting update regarding Triple H's thoughts on the namesake briefcase, which may come as a surprise to the fanbase. What does Triple H think about the Money in the Bank briefcase? According to a new report on WrestleVotes Radio, Triple H is not a fan of the Money in the Bank briefcase. The Game is reportedly not a fan of it as a prop in the company. While there is no confirmation on the same, there is a belief regarding the reason for Triple H not being behind the idea of Money in the Bank. The match and briefcase, which can change the trajectory of a WWE superstar's career, were created by veteran star Chris Jericho. It has been widely known that Triple H and he have had their differences in real life. The Game has not been fond of the former AEW World Champion, so it is a possibility that this belief is true. Regardless, WWE will present Money in the Bank PLE this year on June 9th from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The event, like each year, will feature two ladder matches for the coveted briefcase. Apart from that, one more match has been made official as of this writing. Cody Rhodes, who made his return at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event last week, will team up with Jey Uso to battle the team of John Cena and Logan Paul. This will also be the last time Cena competes at the event. With the PLE rapidly approaching, it will be interesting to see it down at the same venue where Monday Night RAW made its debut on Netflix.

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.

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.
