Wrestlezone’s Top 10: What We Learned at WWE Money in the Bank

July 18, 2013

Number 3: Damien Sandow’s getting a huge push

Damien Sandow winning Money in the Bank was not shocking, but a little surprising. Sandow has not been a champion in the WWE. He has not held any title and has not been a guy that has consistently used week in and out. He has suffered many losses where we would think if WWE lost interest in his character. Alas, he grabs the briefcase and immediately becomes very important. Why would WWE do this to Sandow? I really think this is a sink or swim instinct that WWE acted upon. If he swims, they find themselves a new star for the future. If he fails, what do they lose? They are treating him like Swagger, in some instances. Unfortunately, Swagger had fallen flat after his World Heavyweight Championship win. Damien Sandow will now be faced with the reality of so much pressure put on his shoulders by this push. I think he will do just fine, but will he be able to last at the top?
