5 best WWE pay-per-view concepts

#2 WWE Money in the Bank

The WWE Money in the Bank ladder match made its debut at WrestleMania 21.

The match features a briefcase above the ring, with a contract that guarantees a World Championship match anytime, anywhere, for the next 12 months.

After being a staple of WrestleMania for several years, the Money in the Bank ladder match was given its own pay-per-view event in 2010.

The event initially featured two ladder matches for a WWE Championship contract and a World Heavyweight Championship contract.

Since then, this has evolved into two ladder matches being presented at the event, one for male WWE Superstars and another for female WWE Superstars.

#1 WWE Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble match is arguably the most incredible WWE match concept ever created.

The ever Royal Rumble match took place in 1988 on a special broadcast on the USA Network. The inaugural match was won by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.

Since then, the Royal Rumble pay-per-view has been a staple of the WWE pay-per-view calendar. Usually, WWE's first pay-per-view presentation in January, the Royal Rumble event marks the beginning of the road to WrestleMania.

An over-the-top-rope battle royal, 30 WWE Superstars all enter the match at 90-second intervals. After 29 eliminations, the last superstar standing is the winner of the match and earns a World Championship opportunity at WrestleMania.
