Triple H Reportedly Not a Fan of Money in the Bank Briefcase Concept – WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H is reportedly not particularly fond of the Money in the Bank briefcase concept, according to insights shared on SportsKeeda’s WrestleVotes Radio.
During a discussion on the show about the 2026 Money in the Bank premium live event—now scheduled for late August in New Orleans—it was revealed that Triple H has reservations about the longstanding gimmick. The topic arose as WWE makes adjustments to its event calendar, moving WrestleMania out of New Orleans and shifting Money in the Bank into that slot instead.
WrestleVotes contributor TC stated: “I’ve been told Triple H [is] not a big fan of the Money in the Bank prop as a whole.”
While no further context was given during the segment, the statement points to Triple H’s possible philosophical difference from past WWE regimes that leaned heavily on the briefcase as a storytelling device. The Money in the Bank match, introduced in 2005, typically grants its winner a guaranteed title shot at any time, making the briefcase a central plot element for surprise cash-ins and long-term storyline build-ups.
The physical briefcase—carried around by the winner for months—has at times been criticized as overly gimmicky or awkward to integrate naturally into weekly programming. Under Triple H’s leadership, WWE has placed greater focus on long-term storytelling and in-ring presentation, which could explain the lukewarm attitude toward the briefcase.
Despite this, the match remains one of WWE’s most anticipated annual events, and there are currently no indications that the match type itself is at risk of being removed. Still, with the shift to a later date in 2026 and Triple H’s reported disinterest in the briefcase, the creative direction of the concept could see changes in presentation or execution.
