Backstage Update: WWE Creative Plans For Miz & MITB

There has been much talk amongst creative regarding The Miz and the Money in the Bank briefcase he won at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Commentators have been informed to not push his title too hard because when he ultimately cashes it, they want it to come as a surprise to fans.

One idea tossed around was for the The Miz to be the first Superstar to lose after cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase, but then to be quickly elevated with a huge follow-up victory.

It's been noted that all of this doesn't have to occur until WrestleMania, since the stipulation was that he had one year to cash it in and he won it in July.

Meanwhile, there has been discussion of holding a Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania despite Money in the Bank being scheduled as stand-alone pay-per-view event in July.

Discussion of holding a MITB match despite them having a PPV revolved around it *sigh*. Can't believe he's still carrying that damn case around, I can't stand him but it just needs to be cashed in already.

Lmfao... Why the hell would you have a mania mitb match if you have the mitb themed ppv?! SMH!

If you're gonna do that, eliminate the ppv. I personally think the concept has run it's course: the element of shock or surprise devalues each time because of the results. Obviously someone's got to lose, but the repetitiveness of it has made it stale.

MITB at Mania is just a huge payday for the midcarders...thats all

Yes; but from a creative standpoint, it doesn't make sense.

I think the idea of potentially having 3 MITB holders is interesting. I mean, how do you know there wouldn't be a cash in on a cash in?

Lmfao... It'd be pretty hilarious tbh. But I'm still not an advocate for it.

I think it's played out, simply enough.
