Big E became the first black Money in the Bank winner Credit: WWE.comBig E became the first black Money in the Bank winner Sunday night at WWE Money in the Bank 2021. Big E’s historic victory was marred by streaming issues from NBC Peacock during the ring entrances, which led to “Peacock” becoming a worldwide trend for all the wrong reasons. A Big E Money in the Bank win would further storyline continuity as his New Day brethren Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston continue to feud with Bobby Lashley, who destroyed Kingston earlier in the night. While each scenario presented itself as a potentially compelling long-term storyline, Drew McIntyre’s abundance of opportunities would have made another elusive win for McIntyre nearly maddening. Big E did just that as Big E took his biggest step yet in his surefire path toward his first world championship win.
