In August 2017, one of the biggest shocks in the history of Money In The Bank took place on SmackDown Live when Baron Corbin unsuccessfully attempted to win the WWE Championship from Jinder Mahal.

Having claimed the briefcase two months earlier in the main event of the Money In The Bank pay-per-view, Corbin looked on course to become a World Champion for the first time in his career when he cashed in his contract following John Cena’s non-title win over Mahal.

However, Cena caused a distraction as soon as the bell rang, allowing Mahal to roll up his impromptu opponent to retain the WWE Championship.

Speaking to Sam Roberts on Notsam Wrestling this week, Corbin said he was genuinely disappointed when the opportunity to win WWE’s top title was taken away from him.

“It’s not just the disappointment. You’ve got to think about the snowball effect of the disappointment, because now all these people that I’ve been rubbing it in their face – Money In The Bank, World Champion, internet, ha ha ha – now not only am I disappointed in myself, but now I have audiences chanting, ‘Where’s your briefcase?’ … That stings, man, I should be holding the Championship right now!”
