In a recent interview with Unskripted with Chris Featherstone, NWA star Aron Stevens (the former Damien Sandow in WWE) revealed that the WWE had plans for him to become the WWE Champion in 2013.

“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 yeah, 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 Phildelphia, we had like 7 heels and we made a babyface in that match, it was such a great moment. I remember when I was hiding out by Lilian 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 climing 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.”
