“Nikki A.S.H. Money in the Bank win. I don’t know, I think with Nikki we gotta let this thing play out… But Brad [Gilmore] you know I always feel like it’s a place, there’s always a place for someone like that on the show.

More than anything, I’m gonna give her the benefit of the doubt because she’s all in. She’s working her ass off to try to create something with that. If she wasn’t all in, then I would have reservations, but right now I just want to see how it play out”
