WWE will give someone a great opportunity, but it doesnt always pan out. Although winning the Money in the Bank briefcase can be a tremendous boost for someones career, the fact is that there is always the chance that things wont work out. Damian Sandow and attest to that fact.
Former WWE star Aron Stevens, also known as Damien Sandow, won the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase in 2013 but lost his title match and was released from the company in 2016. In an interview with Victoire, Stevens reflected on his WWE career and its unfulfilled potential.
Stevens also went into how he believes he was sandbagged by someone in WWE, who didnt want his name included on any list of Superstars who brought the biggest reaction of the night.
Damien Sandows Money in the Bank cash-in may not have panned out, but Damian Preists did. The Judgment Day leader is still WWE World Heavyweight Champion, proving that sometimes the Money in the Bank briefcase can elevate someone to that next level. Sadly, for every Seth Rollins and Damian Priest, there is a Damien Sandow and Otis, where the briefcase didnt get them to that next level.
WWE may not have made the most of having someone like Aron Stevens around, but he made the most of his time in the spotlight. Only time will tell if WWE ever has something else for him down the road.
