'Bazball Lights Up WWE Money In The Bank, Sets Twitter On Fire
WWE's Money In The Bank event took place just a few miles away from the iconic Lord's cricket ground, where England and Australia are currently battling it out in the 2nd Ashes Test.
WWE Money in the Bank 2023 took place at the O2 Arena in London Saturday. The premium live event kicked off with the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match, featuring Damian Priest, Shinsuke Nakamura, LA Knight, Ricochet, Butch, Santos Escobar and YouTuber Logan Paul. The first match kicked off with all six men going after Paul, who had got a wild card entry into the match. While Priest eventually pulled out the briefcase to guarantee himself a championship match in the future, it was the local boy Butch who caused mayhem in the contest.
Butch, who came close to earning a title shot in the future, pulled out a cricket bat from underneath the ring, before taking the attack to his opponents.
Butch gave the local crowd a moment to rejoice at the O2 Arena, which is just a few miles away from the iconic Lord's cricket ground, where England and Australia are currently battling it out in the 2nd Ashes Test.
