When WWE canceled Cody Rhodes' planned Money in the Bank win at the last minute... TWICE!
Cody Rhodes will face Dominik Mysterio at WWE Money in the Bank 2023. Even though it's just a normal singles match, the hype is good enough, thanks to Rhodes' superstardom and main event status. However, in the early 2010s, Cody Rhodes was a junior trying to climb up the ranks.
One of the ways to fast-track a superstar's career is to give them the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase. Speaking in an interview, Cody Rhodes mentioned he was booked to win the Money in the Bank in 2013 and 2014. However, plans were changed on both occasions.
I told @CodyRhodes I thought he should have won Money in the Bank 2013 (something I've tweeted a fair few times). He gave me this brilliant quote/story.

Damien Sandow and Seth Rollins ended up winning the Money in the Bank ladder match on those occasions. Sandow's cash-in failed. However, Rollins gave us the brilliant heist of the century moment. As for Rhodes, he left the company a few years later.
He returned in 2022 and now is the company's megastar. Saying he is much above the Money in the Bank is a risky statement. However, The American Nightmare doesn't need a briefcase to get a title shot.
WWE Hall of Famer claims Cody Rhodes vs Dominik Mysterio will be a good match at WWE Money in the Bank
