When a WWE superstar wins Money in the Bank, they have the opportunity to cash-in their guaranteed world title opportunity anytime and anywhere.

This can immediately change the course of WWE storylines, simply by having that superstar able to cash-in at any time. Take The Miz cashing-in on Drew McIntyre immediately following his successful title defense inside the Elimination Chamber. The Miz's actions altered the road to WrestleMania.
