5 WWE Money in the Bank victories that went nowhere

#1. Baron Corbin - 2017

On the other hand, you have the 2017 Money in the Bank winner Baron (now King) Corbin. No disrespect to the former Golden Gloves boxer, but at least Damien Sandow got some offense in before unsuccessfully cashing in.

Corbin won Money in the Bank against some top-tier talent.

Corbin was paired against some of the best talent on the roster at the time - AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn. The fact that he was chosen to win Money in the Bank over that list of talent should have led to something exciting - something that could have pushed Corbin to the moon and justify him winning the match against all of that other talent.

The WWE Champion at the time was Jinder Mahal who, in August of that year, fought a non-title match against the aforementioned John Cena on an episode of SmackDown Live. Just as Cena was pinning the champion, Corbin raced in to attack him, causing a DQ. Corbin would go on to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, only to get distracted by Cena... and rolled up for the pin by Mahal.

Yeah, that was it. Probably the shortest Money in the Bank cash in ever.

Since then, he's gone on to win the United States Championship and even fought Kurt Angle in his very last match at WrestleMania. So, he's gone on to do some impressive things. But, his Money in the Bank victory will go down as pretty much the most pointless ever.

Who else do you think had a pointless Money in the Bank run? Sound off in the comment section below.
