WWE's Chief Content Officer, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, is reportedly not a major proponent of the Money in the Bank briefcase concept itself, according to WrestleVotes Radio. This news came to light during a discussion about the unusual late-August scheduling for the 2026 Money in the Bank premium live event in New Orleans.
Speaking on SportsKeeda's WrestleVotes Radio, TC of WrestleVotes stated, "I've been told Triple H not a big fan of the Money in the Bank prop as a whole." This is noteworthy given Triple H's influential role in WWE's creative direction and the longstanding status of the Money in the Bank ladder match.
It is a career-altering opportunity for WWE Superstars. The winner of the match receives a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match at any time and place of their choosing for up to one year.
The Money in the Bank concept was created by Chris Jericho and first introduced at WrestleMania 21 in 2005. Due to its popularity and the excitement surrounding the cash-in possibilities, it evolved into its own dedicated annual premium live event in 2010.

A women's version of the Money in the Bank ladder match was later introduced in 2017, offering the same opportunity to the female roster. Over the years, numerous WWE fans have witnessed iconic cash-ins that have led to shocking title changes and the crowning of new champions.
Despite Triple H's reported personal view on the "prop," the Money in the Bank event remains a key fixture on WWE's calendar. The 2025 edition is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 7th, from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California.
That card will feature both Men's and Women's Money in the Bank ladder matches, alongside other bouts such as Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena teaming with Logan Paul against World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes. Following this, New Orleans is slated to host the 2026 Money in the Bank PLE, reportedly in late August.
This is a shift from its usual June/July timeframe after WrestleMania 42 was moved from the city. WWE has yet to confirm that WrestleMania 42 is moving locations. That is expected to change in the coming weeks.

Woman Returns to Dog Left Home Alone—What She Finds Leaves Her Sobbing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 5-month-old puppy with a case of separation anxiety left an owner sobbing in horror with what she discovered after returning home. Shanna White, also known on TikTok as @theregoshan1, has a red-nosed pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy named Ja'Dioree Scarlett, whom she's owned since the dog was only 5 weeks old. Ja'Dioree Scarlett, like many dogs, experiences separation anxiety when alone. Dogs with separation anxiety become extremely stressed and anxious, often causing them to become destructive. However, White said her puppy has never shown signs of being stressed while home alone. Ja'Dioree Scarlett never ruined the house. But White recently came home to a surprising scene after being gone for about an hour. She returned home to discover seemingly every last inch of the place destroyed. The blinds were chewed off. Items were thrown around. Pee on the bed. It became a headache for White after she was already under a lot of stress. She said this situation made it "worse." In her June 17 TikTok video, White walked around her home revealing more and more damage. She wrote in the caption that her pup "ate" her home. She cried in disbelief, wondering what had happened to her house after leaving it pristine and her pup calmly relaxing. "I know she has separation anxiety, but I didn't know she was that smart to open my room door," White said. "The only thing going through my mind was my house and how would I pay for all of it." Screenshots from a June 17 TikTok video of a 5-month-old pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy innocently behaving while owner was home. Screenshots from a June 17 TikTok video of a 5-month-old pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy innocently behaving while owner was home. @theregoshan1/TikTok Within three days of posting, the TikTok video reached over 1.2 million views and 105,000 likes. Viewers were left speechless over this dog's "field day." "She had a funky good time," wrote one person. Another added: "Peeing on my bed would've sent me over the edge." However, several users flooded the comment section with their concerns about this pup's behavior. They ridiculed the owner: "I blame you cause why you left that toddler out." Pet parents are often divided on whether or not to crate train. Proponents argue crates provide dogs a safe space to go when they're feeling stressed, scared or tired. It keeps them out of trouble. But others will say it creates unwanted emotional stress, especially when left for extended periods of time. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

'Toxic Avenger' Reboot Trailer Shows Best Look at Peter Dinklage's Toxie
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The red band trailer for "The Toxic Avenger" reboot is here and it gives us our best look yet at Peter Dinklage as Toxie, the eponymous hero. It also delivers plenty of dark laughs and gore. You can watch the trailer below. Read More: Ryan Reynolds' 'Dragon's Lair' Netflix Movie Recruits 'Muppets' Director The official synopsis for "The Toxic Avenger" reads, "When a downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he's transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger." "Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant... justice is best served radioactive." Toxie in "The Toxic Avenger". Toxie in "The Toxic Avenger". Troma Entertainment Inc. While Dinklage provides the voice for Toxie, Luisa Guerreiro does the body work for the toxic superhero. Speaking about the new Toxie suit, filmmaker Macon Blair said, "The goal was to try to stay true to the vibe of Lloyd's original Jennifer Aspinall/Mitch Cohen creature, with some influence from the 'Toxic Crusaders' cartoon's look, while also trying to do something new and weird and lovable with Toxie's design. I love what Millenium FX did with it — part human, part mutant, all heart." Taylour Paige plays JJ Doherty in the film, an investigative journalist who is looking to expose the company Gooze works for and bring them to justice. Jacob Tremblay plays Winston's stepson, Wade. Kevin Bacon plays chemical industrialist Bob Garbinger while Elijah Wood plays his younger brother, Fritz. Macon Blair, who wrote and directed "The Toxic Avenger" reboot, previously collaborated with Wood on his feature directorial debut, 2017's "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore." The reboot has been in the works for over a decade, but thankfully for Troma fans, things have changed since development began. The plan was originally to turn the "Toxic Avenger" reboot into a PG-13 action comedy. Blair has instead stuck to the splatter spirit of the original. "The Toxic Avenger" hits theaters on August 29. The film is written and directed by Macon Blair. "The Toxic Avenger" stars Peter Dinklage, Luisa Guerreiro, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood and Jane Levy.
