Daniel Bryan was interviewed by Fox Sports ahead of his return to Smackdown Live this week. Bryan was asked about the controversial finish to the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match that happened on Sunday night.
In case you missed it, Carmella won the briefcase after James Ellsworth climbed the ladder and tossed it down to her. This had many fans upset on social media that the first-ever Women’s Money in the Bank match was won by a man.
Daniel Bryan seems to agree with that sentiment:
“I was disappointed. And I think if it were like the fifth women’s Money In The Bank match, right, I wouldn’t be so disappointed – because that’s a part of WWE, it’s a part of sports entertainment that stuff like that happens. But I think when you build something up as far as like ‘hey, this is this really important moment for women in WWE,’ and then a man is the one who climbs up to the top and grabs the briefcase…”
He continued:
“I think that that really rubs people the wrong way and it sends the wrong message. And I don’t have any way to gauge people’s response to that other than Twitter, which I think is not a very good metric. But it’s still one metric that we have, and so the Twitter response that I got when I was looking through it, from female fans, they didn’t like it at all. I hope we can fix the wrongs tomorrow.”
