Money In The Bank is one of the most prestigious PPVs in the WWE. The entire concept of the match circles around a ladder match with the Money in the Bank briefcase suspended above the ring.
The first man to hold the briefcase wins the match and is called Mr. Money in the Bank. The briefcase holds an assured contract that guarantees the winner a title shot at the time of his choosing. The Money in The Bank ladder matches were initially a part of Wrestlemania but were later moved to a PPV of the same name.
