#2 Money in the Bank 2016
WHEN: June 19, 2016
WHERE: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
MAIN EVENT: This event, along with the next one, did not have a ladder match as the focal point of the show. Seth Rollins had returned from a knee injury that would force him to relinquish his WWE Championship, and he wanted to claim the title he never lost.
He faced Roman Reigns in a classic match which started off slow but picked up speed towards the end. Astonishingly, Rollins won clean and regained his title. But his celebration was cut short when Dean Ambrose cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to win the WWE Championship from his arch-nemesis, gaining sweet revenge on him in the process.
This was a fantastic moment, as all three members of The Shield were WWE champion in the space of five minutes. Roman's suspension put a slight dampener on the moment, but it is still memorable in our eyes.
REST OF THE CARD: Dean Ambrose had won the Money in the Bank ladder match about an hour before he cashed it in. The 2016 version of the spot-filled contest had one of the best builds to a Money in the Bank ladder match ever, with great tag team action, funny promos, and a blood feud in the form of Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens.
The show opened with a carnage-filled fatal-four-way match for the Tag Team titles as The New Day faced Enzo and Cass, The Vaudevillians, and The Club.
Gallows and Anderson had a bigger role to play on the show as well when they helped AJ Styles defeat John Cena in a first-time ever dream match. The match lived up to its expectations but was marred by the dirty finish.
There were several other one-on-one matches including a United States Championship match between Rusev and Father of the Year, Titus O'Neil. This show was stacked with marquee matches that we wanted to see and that made this show feel huge. The fact that it was in 'Big Fight City' made it even better.
