It was a huge mistake at the Money in The Bank PPV and it seems like it’s still being addressed on some podcasts, and the true cause of this mistake may finally be revealed.

Also, it seems like Chris Van didn’t consider these mistakes to be huge misses, as he commented during his response that if you’re live, these things happen.

Chris Van stated on his Insight podcast: “But from what I understand, Drew’s music was supposed to be the one that was played at the beginning, but his music didn’t take off. It just took off a little late. And mistakes happen. This is live television. Mistakes happen. Not everything is always going to be perfect.”

Despite the mishap, there’s no denying that Seth Rollins ended up losing the fight and may have to pay a high price for it.
