• WWE Wanted To Fool “Smart Fans” With Their Money In The Bank 2019 Booking
“The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar surprised the fans when he returned last night at Money In The Bank 2019 PPV and everyone was shocked when he went on to win the Men’s Money In The Bank 2019 ladder match to earn a future World Championship match.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE officials wanted to fool the “smart fans” who think every outcome in WWE is predictable:
“One of the mentalities they have is that it’s more important to fool you or to fool smart people who think they know what’s going on and that’s part of the things that they get their jollies out of.”
