Fans have already gotten over what happened at WrestleMania, and it's officially Money in the Bank season. The qualifying matches for the annual ladder bouts have already started on RAW and SmackDown. This past Monday, Stark landed awkwardly while attempting to deliver a high-flying move to Kairi Sane.

On his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, the former Zeb Colter discussed Stark's injury on this week's RAW. He claimed that the situation could have been avoided if Sane had positioned herself well for the 31-year-old's maneuver.

"Well, there's no way to adjust once you're in the air. You can turn, but you can't position. The adjustment has to be done by (...) who was she with? Who was the girl [Kairi Sane]?" Mantell said. [3:16 - 3:26]
