At one point it seemed that Damien Sandow was one of WWE’s rising stars, and he reached the next level when he won the Money in the Bank briefcase. As Sandow was riding a wave of momentum many fans thought that he would go on ti win a World Title, but when he challenged John Cena for the gold it was Cena who picked up the victory.
During a recent interview with Sportskeeda former WWE Superstar Damien Sandow talked about the original plans for his Money in the Bank cash in, and he also revealed that there was talk of a feud with Cody Rhodes.
“I was supposed to win it and I was supposed to cash it in. Cody and I had our feud. Everything was great. I heard I was going to win the World Title and Cody would chase me. We had a whole wonderful thing planned, and, yea, it didn’t happen, but, whatever. I’m still very proud of the Money in the Bank match we had, and I think Cody said this before that it was one of his favorite matches, if not his favorite in WWE, and mine too.
It has nothing to do with the fact that I won, but in Philadelphia, we had like seven heels and we made a babyface in that match. It was such a great moment. I remember when I was hiding out by Lilian (Garcia) in the pit, Cody had fought everybody off, and he had just a little bit of color, just enough to where you can see it, but they didn’t stop the match and all that crap.
“He’s climbing up, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, this is going to work.’ I slid in. It was magic and it took everyone involved in that match to do it. In my opinion, it was an absolute masterpiece.”
