Big Cass was originally set to take on Samoa Joe in a Money in the Bank qualifying match this week on SmackDown Live, but that won’t be happening. Cass recently sold an injury during a WWE live event in Munich, and after he was helped to the back WWE posted a tweet teasing that he might not make it to his Money in the Bank qualifying match.
