Money in the Bank cash-ins are supposed to happen in different ways.

They wanted Big E to come out of it as a clear face so they had him call it out beforehand. And then they went out of their way to say 'hey! He's cashing in!'. Allegedly they were trying to not tank ratings vs the first Monday Night Football.

WWE is going out of their way to present themselves as not caring about AEW. Their main thing is this: already have their WWE mind control machine working against their own remaining smaller and/or more indy-style wrestlers.

I have a buddy or two who are already aping the company line/sounding like baby Cornettes. IE: all of a sudden, they LOVE big muscle guys and those 'little/short indy guys' are whatever. Lazy tribal fanhood is a bad look for things improving long-term. It is impressive to see how easily folks can get manipulated in silly shit like this AND in other, obviously more important things when you look around.

So we have people going from 'Johnny Gargano is the best NXT wrestler ever' to 'Johnny who? Oh, that guy? If his contract expires and he leaves, whatever. He's small and he'd never work on the real roster. Oh and fuck NXT too. Its just developmental'.

WHAT!? Haha. I'm old enough to remember people shitting golden bricks out of their asses multiple times over NXT. Now, its just nothing because rumor has it that Vince doesn't like how it is right now? Ridiculous.
