Reflecting on his 9-year-old match, Ryback spoke about Curtis Axel’s singlet, and how they never got to wear it together again. He claimed that this bothers him still to date, and how they never got to wear them with matching beanies.

Ryback said, “It will forever bother me we never got that matching singlet 2 pack action figure with beanies.” Ryback and Curtis Axel, or as they went RybAxel, was a dominant tag team, formerly managed by Paul Heyman. However, their decision to ditch Heyman would eventually start their downfall.

Will Cody Rhodes be able to repeat history at Money in The Bank 9 years later?

The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes has an opportunity to write history, as he returns to Money in The Bank event 9 years. His last appearance came in 2014, and now again in 2023, as he is set to face Dominik Mysterio. Fans expect Rhode to defeat Mysterio. However, in WWE an upset can appear anytime, and Rhodes’ feud with Brock Lesnar could prove to be a vital point here.

An interference from Lesnar could cost Rhodes the match, and hand Dominik Mysterio an essential win. However, fans will now need to wait and see if Lesnar costs Rhodes the match. Or if the former Intercontinental Champion is able to rewrite history.
