Note On When WWE Decided To Have Brock Lesnar Win Money in the Bank, Original Plan Before Lesnar

WWE shocked their fans last night by having Brock Lesnar come out at the last minute and win the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, defeating Randy Orton, Ali, Andrade, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Baron Corbin and Ricochet. According to WrestleVotes, the decision to give the briefcase to Lesnar was made last weekend, and until that point officials were divided between Drew McIntyre and Ali as the winner of the match.

Lol you investigative maniacs are killing me from my tweet on 4/22. Nearly a month ago! Plans change. It’s freakin’ pro wrestling.

The Brock decision was made last weekend. Up until that point it was nearly a 50/50 tossup between McIntyre & Ali to take the briefcase.
