5 WWE secrets that were accidentally revealed

#4 WWE Money in the Bank 2020 crash pads

WWE showed this aerial view of the Money in the Bank ring

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 WWE Money in the Bank ladder matches took place at WWE’s headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

The men’s and women’s matches started at the same time on the ground floor of the building. All 12 Superstars then fought their way through the building and onto the roof, where the Money in the Bank briefcases could be found.

In the men’s match, Otis defeated AJ Styles, Aleister Black, Daniel Bryan, King Corbin, and Rey Mysterio to claim the MITB briefcase. His victory came shortly after Corbin threw Black and Mysterio off the roof, ruling them out of the rest of the match.

WWE’s cameras did not show how far the two Superstars fell after being launched off the top of WWE HQ. That meant the audience at home was left wondering if Black and Mysterio had, in storyline, been thrown down to ground floor level.

Well, at least, that is the illusion that WWE attempted to create. Unfortunately, that idea was flawed due to the fact that an aerial shot of the MITB set-up gave away the secret.

In the bottom-right corner of the picture above, crash pads can clearly be seen in the area where Black and Mysterio landed.

The match was filmed several weeks in advance, but this spoiler must have been missed by the production team.
