The WWE has only seen five failed cash-ins since the first MITB in 2005

#2 Damien Sandow - WWE RAW 2013

Damien Sandow, and his custom MITB briefcase, couldn't overcome WWE legend, John Cena

For a few years there, WWE had two Money in the Bank briefcases. Unlike how it works now, though, it wasn't separated between the men and women's divisions. There was a briefcase for RAW (WWE Championship) and SmackDown (WWE World Heavyweight Championship).

At Money in the Bank 2013, Randy Orton won the case for RAW, while Damien Sandow outlasted Cesaro, Cody Rhodes, Jon Moxley, Fandango, Jake Hager, and Wade Barrett to win the blue case.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

Following a feud against his former Rhodes Scholar partner Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow attempted to cash his shot in on the man we just discussed, John Cena. Now, you've already seen the year, which means you know what happens to these titles as we moved into WrestleMania XXX.

Unfortunately, Sandow was unable to beat John Cena despite The Champ having an injured arm. Though Cena was the first to fail, Sandow was actually the first to lose his cash-in attempt.

The fans weren't exactly behind the future Mizdow then as they were a few years later, and if they were, this one might have turned out a bit differently for The Enlightened One. Just a step in a long line of wasted moments for Damien Sandow in WWE.
