Despite not being on the card, Roman Reigns looms large over Money In The Bank.
This Saturday, the premium Live Event Money In The Bank occurs from Las Vegas. Roman Reigns does not feature on the card despite holding both world titles. Reigns is currently scheduled to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam later this month in a Last Man Standing Match.
Paul Heyman told the Dallas Morning News that Roman Reigns is still the star of Money in The Bank.
“I also would suggest that the star of Money in the Bank is truly Roman Reigns. Because the entire premise of the Money in the Bank event is the main event of the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, in which one man will pull down that briefcase and inside of that briefcase is a contract that is essentially a sword of Damocles over the title reign of Roman Reigns, because the winner, the holder of that contract, can challenge Roman Reigns for the championship anytime they want over the course of the next 365 days. So, though Roman Reigns is not on the show physically, the spirit of Roman Reigns and the challenge to Roman Reigns is the main event of Money in the Bank,“
Paul Heyman to Dallas Morning News
Heyman has been involved in the build to Money In The Bank, getting involved in certain stars stories heading into Money in The Bank. While Heyman may be right about the challenge of Money In The Bank for Roman Reigns, time will tell how the event goes down without the world champion.
