Greatest Money in the Bank Match #2: 2016

The 2016 MITB featured a brutal contest with a feel-good ending.
The 2016 MITB featured a brutal contest with a feel-good ending.

The 2016 Money in the Bank Ladder match occurred during a period when WWE had ended its brand split, meaning there was only one of the MITB matches contested.

Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio, and Dean Ambrose were the entrants in this match which featured no super heavyweights, a rare feat for the Money in the Bank franchise. Cesaro looked impressive as he unleashed one brutal European uppercut after another, while Chris Jericho used his newly minted Code Breaker finisher to great effect.

But the MVP of the match was without a doubt Dean Ambrose. Now fully evolved into his own character after the fall of the Shield, Ambrose had proven to be so popular that WWE had no choice but to make him the victor.

As if fans weren't treated enough by the spectacular match and feel good ending, the fact that Ambrose would cash in on Seth Rollins that same night and win just seals the deal for this being in the top five MITB matches of all time.
