Edge's original, inaugural cash in of the Money in the Bank contract almost made it onto this list but it was beaten out by the one Seth Rollins pulled off at Wrestlemania 31. With the main event WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar resting on a knife edge, "The Architect" stunned the world to strike.

He pulled off 'The Heist of the Century' -- as Michael Cole put it -- to pin Roman and walk away from Wrestlemania as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It was an outcome that no one saw at the start of the night -- including the WWE creative team.

Instead, it was decided during the pay-per-view that Rollins would be cashing in and the WWE managed to pull off the swerve of the century in the process.
