On the day of the show, Ellsworth was informed his prediction was coming true. He told Carmella he had spoken to then-WWE executive John Laurinaitis.

“[Laurinaitis] was like, ‘Hey, you’re gonna climb up there as quick as you can, grab it, throw it down to Carmella,’ Ellsworth said. “And I told her, she’s like, ‘Really? Like, I’m winning it?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I told you, I’m gonna grab it and give it to you, it’s gonna be great.'”

Ellsworth also revealed it was always the plan to do a second women’s Money in the Bank match on an episode of “SmackDown.” He claimed they were told they were doing it to help “pop a rating” for the show, and that the controversy would be beneficial. Carmella went on to win the second women’s Money in the Bank ladder match – this time without Ellsworth’s help — before winning the title by cashing in her contract over 200 days later.
