Backstage news on the finish of WWE Money in the Bank
Jul 4, 2023
A major moment headlined the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on Saturday, July 1 as Jey Uso pinned Roman Reigns to win the Bloodline Civil War for The Usos. The match saw The Usos kick out on multiple occasions before Jey decked Roman with an Uso Splash and scored the victory.
It emerged ahead of Money in the Bank that two "drastic" finishes were in play and WrestleVotes has since reported there was "trepidation" from a high-ranking member of WWE creative over the finish of the main event. Notably, there was an argument that Roman Reigns shouldn't be pinned until he drops the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
"There was a feeling of trepidation from a high ranking creative member in crafting the finish for this past Saturdays Bloodline match. A strong argument that Reigns shouldn't be pinned prior to losing the title was present throughout the process," WrestleVotes tweeted.
Following Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns will be put on trial in tribal court on Friday's episode of SmackDown.
