During the discussion, Theory recounted his failed cash-in attempts, including one at SummerSlam 2022 and another on the November 7, 2022 episode of Raw. When Logan Paul asked if he felt robbed, Theory responded affirmatively.

Theory specifically cited Brock Lesnar ending his attempt at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and an unsuccessful United States Championship cash-in against Seth Rollins. He also mentioned an interaction with Roman Reigns at the Barclays Center, suggesting the build-up to these moments could have been handled differently.

The dented briefcase from his Money in the Bank run remains in his office. Theory's most recent WWE appearance was on the June 29 episode of Raw.
