The next Money in the Bank is set to be one of the best pay-per-views of the year. Therefore, I thought it was time to list some of our favorite Money in the Bank cash-ins. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Daniel Bryan (TLC 2011)
Even though the actual cash-in wasn’t that spectacular, it is still one of the most memorable cash-ins within recent WWE history. It would also set Bryan up to become one of the most popular wrestlers of all time.
Edge (SmackDown 2007)
Yes, there are more memorable cash-ins than the one Edge did on the Undertaker in 2007. Still, the sheer star power of this cash-in makes this a classic for me. It just reeks of awesomeness!
CM Punk (RAW 2008)
I have no love for CM Punk whatsoever, opposed to the rest of the WWE Universe. Still, his cash-in at RAW is one of my favorites. The fact that CM Punk cashed in on Edge was not my favorite part though – it was the arrival of Batista exacting his revenge! So, I do hope “the animal” makes a return to the WWE at one point.
CM Punk (Extreme Rules 2009)
“If you don’t like CM Punk, what’s with all the CM Punk cash-ins?” you might ask. Well, this one was so beautifully timed, it immediately became a classic. Unfortunately, it was also against one of my favorites of all time, Jeff Hardy.
Rob Van Dam (One Night Stand 2006)
The following cash-in was announced beforehand, so Rob Van Dam had a fight on his hands against John Cena. Still, despite the odds against him, Van Dam won against Cena. Of course, Rob did get some help from Edge. This one is a classic everyone remembers, especially ECW fans.
Seth Rollins (WrestleMania 31)
If I had to choose one favorite cash-in out of all the ones I’ve added to this overview, it would probably be Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31. Even though there were rumors of a cash-in, it came at such a surprising moment! Hands down the best cash-in for many years to come yet.
Dolph Ziggler (RAW 2013)
Judging by the roar of the crowd in the above clip, Dolph Ziggler’s cash-in was probably one of the most anticipated. Even though I don’t like Dolph Ziggler on a personal level, he is a wrestler responsible for many iconic moments like these. My favorite moment of this cash-in? Del Rio being put in his place!
The Miz (RAW 2010)
Unfortunately, the Miz has been underrated and under-appreciated for many years. But that’s never stopped him from creating some memorable and timeless moments — this including his cash-in against Randy Orton in 2010. Now the Miz is on the rise again, which proves that a Money in the Bank contract can really make someone’s career long-term. It honestly legitimizes someone as the future of the WWE, and Miz is a great example of this.
What is your favorite cash-in? Do you agree with my list? Or is there a cash-in that should have been added? Let me know in the comment section below, and I look forward to reading it all!
