Ever since Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque took over WWE, fans have witnessed numerous changes within the company. Some were cheered by them, while others were vehemently opposed because it was purely corporate and went strictly against their sentiments. From striking a billion-dollar deal with Netflix to being clueless about the women’s division, often coming up with a narrative that has poorly resonated among the fans.
The CCO has been facing backlash from the fans for the past couple of weeks for not doing “what’s best for business.” The defiance was shown in World Wrestling Promotion’s June PPV, Money in the Bank, where it managed to pull off an AEW-like scenario.
The eagle-eyed wrestling enthusiasts were quick to notice this scenario and share it on social media.
Triple H witnesses defiance from the WWE Universe in Money in the Bank
The fans and wrestlers were on cloud nine when Vince McMahon was forced to resign from the company due to his lawsuit, and in his absence, his son-in-law, Triple H, took over and went on to make changes that had the support of the locker room. However, he lost the fans’ favor when WWE took the liberty of releasing a list of superstars, which included fan favorites like R-Truth and Carlito.
The entire community came to back the star, and even at the live shows, RAW and SmackDown, fans chanted, “We want truth,” and some even put up signs in support of the 53-time 24/7 Champion. This was the last straw after changing the venue for WrestleMania 42 for a bigger profit.
Hence, resulting in a major conversation topic in Money in the Bank that features some great matches that tease how the scenario will change in the coming years.
The show claimed it had over 17k fans attending WWE’s annual premium live event. However, some fans noticed that for the first time since the global pandemic in 2020, the seats were empty for the 2025 event, even sharing a clip on X.
So many empty seats…

The argument surfaced on social media after the wrestling promotion brand was charging a hefty amount for its show’s tickets. The situation resembled All Elite Wrestling’s recent live event, where it was noticed that the arena was empty.
Despite WWE trying to get away by masking the embarrassing situation on live television. The problem was too harrowing to be avoided, and perhaps it is high time for The Game to address the issue before all hell breaks loose.
The WWE Universe is divided on a half-full MITB venue
The 16th annual Money in the Bank was supposed to be an exciting event, where the crowd present at the Intuit Dome, Inglewood, California, would witness greatness as the PPV featured four thrilling matches. This includes the last appearance of the moment maker, John Cena, facing off against Cody Rhodes in a tag team match with Logan Paul and Jey Uso in their respective corners.
However, each time the camera pans out during the matches, the fans watching from their small screens can’t help but notice the vacant seats and share their opinions on X. The users commented,

That’s what happens when you make it too expensive for the average middle class family to attend.

Even though the seats are empty, it can’t be denied that the WWE superstars have been giving their 200%, as each superstar is putting their body on the line as they participate in the ladder matches for the MITB briefcase.
Money in the Bank is streaming live on Peacock in the USA and on Netflix everywhere around the world.
