#2. Drew McIntyre was set to win Money in the Bank at WrestleMania 26
Before WWE made Money in the Bank an annual pay-per-view of its own, the contract ladder match would take place as part of WrestleMania.

In the buildup to WrestleMania 26, Drew McIntyre was scheduled to face The Undertaker in a one-on-one match. Plans were changed and he was added to the Money in the Bank ladder match instead.
McIntyre was then told that he would go on to win the Money in the Bank contract match. However, these plans were also changed and Jack Swagger was the star who came out victorious.
The former WWE Champion revealed the plans in A Chosen Destiny, which was released earlier this year:
“I was told in advance I would be winning the Money in the Bank match. To beat nine fellow Superstars for the coveted contract would have been a massive deal and the next logical stage for my spoiled character. What was disappointing was that it became clear that I wasn’t winning the Money in the Bank match after all – because it was ‘too obvious’. The change of plan wasn’t communicated to me or explained. It just happened, and I felt elbowed aside."
McIntyre didn't need the Money in the Bank contract to become WWE Champion in the end. He was able to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 a decade later.
