RAW Superstar The Miz appeared on the opening and backstage segment of the latest edition of SmackDown.
During his promo, The Miz stated that he was the only two-time MITB winner in WWE. Following his unsuccessful loss in the Battle Royal, The A-Lister appeared in a backstage segment with Happy Corbin, Ezekiel and Madcap Moss along with WWE Official Adam Pearce. It was then announced that the four men will compete in a fatal four-way match to determine the last qualifier for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
At WrestleMania 21, Edge won the inaugural MITB match, thus winning an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship. The following year in the now retired New Year's Revolution event, The Rated R Superstar successfully cashed in his briefcase against John Cena for the WWE Championship. He then challenged the 2007 MITB winner for the briefcase and won the match. Additionally, AEW star CM Punk won back-to-back MITB contracts at WrestleMania 24 and 25 respectively.

While some of the former winners have been lucky to cash in on their contracts and emerge as champions the same night, it is yet to be seen what will transpire this weekend.
