WWE’s Money in the Bank event on June 7th saw both Raw and SmackDown undergo significant shifts as two superstars claimed the coveted briefcases. Naomi’s victory in the women’s ladder match was met with support from Matt Hardy. However, the outcome of the men’s match proved more surprising.

Seth Rollins, an established main eventer, secured the Mr. Money in the Bank title for the second time, despite a field of rising stars. This decision saw WWE award the guaranteed title shot to a decorated veteran rather than using it to elevate a newer talent.

hardy discussed these outcomes on his podcast, expressing his support for Naomi and analyzing WWE’s choice regarding Rollins.

“And I said this when we discussed last week, I like Naomi winning. You know what I mean? I do like that. I think she’s someone who deserves it. She’s someone who can be the flag bearer of the division. So I’m totally cool with that, and I’m happy for her, on a personal level that she won. She’s someone who’s definately deserving. So I’m totally good with that.And the Seth Rollins thing is fine. I like the fact that, you know, we thought it was a red herring. I thought it was too. I thought they would use this to elevate someone else. But they, they really have all of their momentum behind Seth Rollins right now, and they’re gonna do everything they can to make Seth Rollins the guy.”
