The Money in the Bank ladder match is guaranteed to be one of the most exciting matches of the year. Its addition, the WWE has made for some extremely memorable moments over the years. From Jeff Hardy’s leg drop through the ladder to Shelton Benjamin’s flying clothesline.
This match involves some incredibly dangerous spots which could no doubt shorten a wrestler's career. In contrast, it could also give certain wrestlers longevity in their career, boosting them up by giving them a chance to cash in that all-important Money in the Bank briefcase against any WWE Champion they desire.
A Money in the Bank winner could cash in the contract anytime and anywhere he wants after winning it. Cash-ins could happen unexpectedly on Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, WrestleMania or at any PPV. But just how quickly they want to cash in is up to the wrestler themselves. Wrestlers don't have to wait around for weeks or months, as cash-ins can happen within days or even hours after winning.

Here are five of the Best Money in the Bank cash-ins of all time.
#5 Randy Orton
Randy Orton is no stranger to the Money in the Bank cash-in, losing his title to The Miz back in 2010 through it. However, a year later at SummerSlam, the tables turned.
Daniel Bryan had just cleanly beaten John Cena for the title, despite Triple H being the guest referee. Randy Orton came out after the match, making his way to the ring though not fully committed to the cash in.
That was until Triple H, who had been fair the whole night, hit Bryan with a pedigree. This allowed Orton to easily get the cover over Bryan and win the championship, breaking the hearts of Daniel Bryan fans around the world.
#4 CM Punk
Before his exceptionally long reign as WWE Champion, CM Punk was fighting to get to the top of the roster. Punk managed to win the Money in the Bank contract twice back-to-back in 2008 and 2009.
His first cash-in was successful, but the ensuing title run was mediocre. The next year, Punk decided to cash-in on Jeff Hardy who had just overcome Edge in a Ladder match. Hardy managed to kick out of Punk’s GTS, but couldn’t withstand a second one.
This, of course, led to Punk’s major heel run and a pretty good feud with Hardy, which in turn helped Punk grow into one of the biggest stars in the WWE.
#3 Edge
Edge was the 1st superstar ever to cash-in the briefcase against John Cena at New Year’s Revolution 2006. This time nobody really knew how the cash-in process worked. Many thought it was a match that would be set up beforehand like any other.
After Cena overcame five other men in the Elimination Chamber to retain his title, he lay bloody and exhausted in the ring.
Vince McMahon appeared and announced that Edge was cashing in at that very moment. Soon after, Edge would hit Cena with two spears to win his first World Championship.
#2 Dolph Ziggler
The RAW after WrestleMania is always awesome. The show is usually pretty good itself dealing with the aftermath of the night before, but the lively, vocal crowd is easily the best part.
Back in 2013 just after an injured Alberto Del Rio defeated Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter, Dolph Ziggler finally decided to take his shot. As Ziggler’s music hit, the crowd went wild. After a surprising back and forth, Ziggler hit his finisher for the win.
The crowd went absolutely nuts. The pop Ziggler got was just crazy, especially considering he was a heel at the time.
#1 Seth Rollins
In one of the most epic conclusions to a PPV ever, Seth Rollins did what nobody had done before: he cashed in his MITB contract at the main event of WrestleMania.
WrestleMania 31 featured Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns battling for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The clash between the two left both men down and out, which of course was the perfect opportunity for Seth to cash in. The Architect ran down the painfully long WrestleMania ramp and officially joined the match by cashing in his briefcase.
Rollins capitalized on this opportunity and hit Reigns with the stomp and managed to pick up the win. Despite Rollins being a heel, he struggled to keep back his emotions after this epic WrestleMania moment.
