Carmella made history when she became the very first women's Money in the Bank winner, at the 2017 edition of the show.

But that win didn't come without controversy. Carmella, who had James Ellsworth as her manager, won the briefcase after Ellsworth helped her take it from the top and give it to her. She defeated the likes of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Natalya, and Tamina, and got her title opportunity.

But two days later on SmackDown, then SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan, ordered a rematch, this time expelling Ellsworth from the ring.

She won it again, and held the briefcase for 287 days which is the longest any Superstar has held it for. She cashed in the contract on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 34, defeating Charlotte Flair to her first title.

The win for Carmella in the Money in the Bank ladder match was rightly criticised as it didn't highlight the women, as they have earned their right to this prestigious match.
