Big E intends to cash in Money in the Bank contract on WWE Raw
Two months after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase and contract for a WWE title or Universal title match, Big E tweeted Monday that he intends to cash in on tonight’s Raw.
Monday’s show will see WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defend against Randy Orton in a title match that was moved up from the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
Big E won the contract with his victory at July’s Money in the Bank show in Fort Worth, Texas. As the contract holder, he can appear on any show he wants at any time to cash in.
The 35-year-old has held WWE singles gold before as he’s a former Intercontinental Champion and NXT Champion. As part of The New Day, he is a six-time combined Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champion.
Here’s the current lineup for Monday on USA:
- WWE Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton title match
- Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Shayna Baszler non-title match
- U.S. Champion Damian Priest open challenge
- Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Mustafa Ali and Mansoor vs. AJ Styles, Omos, Mace and T-Bar
- Rhea Ripley vs. Natalya
Let’s let that cat out of the bag…I intend on cashing in my Money in the Bank contract tonight and cashing in to become WWE Champion.
