As of Monday night’s episode of WWE Raw, Austin Theory is no longer Mr. Money in the Bank.
Theory is the fifth WWE Superstar to fail at a Money in the Bank cash-in. Theory cashed in the briefcase on Seth Rollins’ for a shot at the WWE United States Championship. Theory lost after involvement from Bobby Lashley.
Theory won the briefcase in Men’s Ladder Match at Money in the Bank back on July 2.
Below is the full excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s very through Raw recap of how it all went down.
Mustafa Ali appears on the screen, and the crowd audibly groans. All of a sudden, he’s pulled off the screen, and the sounds of him being beaten down are heard. An irate Bobby Lashley appears on the screen. There are two reasons why he doesn’t have the United States Championship. One is Brock Lesnar, and he made Lesnar pay at Crown Jewel. The second is Rollins. Ali attacks, but Lashley easily dispenses with him. Lashley accepts the open challenge…
Bobby Lashley makes his entrance. As he does, he goes right after Seth “Freakin” Rollins and knocks him out of the ring. The match has not started yet. Lashley beats him around ringside and drives him into the barricade. Lashley viciously beats on Rollins’ spine and puts him in the ring, but Rollins quickly gets out. Lashley sizes Rollins up for a spear through the barricade, but Rollins superkicks him. Rollins quickly sends Lashley into the steel steps and tries for a Pedigree on the floor, but Lashley hits a back body drop. Lashley grounds and pounds Rollins. Officials run down to break Lashley off Rollins, but Lashley is out of control. Lashley drives Rollins headfirst into the ring post before slamming him through the commentary table with a one-armed spinebuster…
Lashley celebrates and walks to the back. Austin Theory, carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase, walks out to the stage…Austin Theory standing near Seth “Freakin” Rollins. Theory says he’s cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase…to get the United States Championship…
Theory hits Rollins with a forearm to the face for a near fall. Theory follows up with a fisherman’s buster on his knee for another near fall. Rollins fights back and goes for a Pedigree, but Theory counters and hits a Pedigree for a near fall. Rollins quickly sends Theory shoulder-first into the ring post before sending him out of the ring. Rollins counters a rolling thunder dropkick into a powerbomb. Rollins superkicks him and forearms him in the back of the head. Rollins goes for a Stomp, but Theory counters into A-Town Down. Theory covers, but Lashley pulls the referee out of the ring!…
Theory shouts at Lashley and calls him an idiot. Lashley pulls Theory out of the ring and viciously attacks him. Lashley drives Theory headfirst into the ring post and puts him to sleep with the Hurt Lock. Lashley then leaves the ringside area…
The referee, who was attacked by an outside party, rolls into the ring and starts to count Theory out. Theory gets in the ring at 9, and Rollins hits him with a Stomp for the win.
