Highlights: Jeff Hardy's stunt in this match has gone down in lore, as he sacrificed his body and hit Edge with a Leg Drop from the top of a twenty-foot ladder.

Matt Hardy had placed Edge on top of a ladder which he straddled between the ring and the barrier on the outside. The move took them both out of the competition for the night.

Man of the Match: CM Punk seemed to be everywhere in the match, despite being a lesser-known figure at the time. He took one of the best bumps on the night when Randy Orton hit him with an RKO from the top of the ladder.


#7 Rob Van Dam vs Matt Hardy vs Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair vs Finlay vs Bobby Lashley (WrestleMania 22):

The second ever Money in the Bank Ladder Match took place at WrestleMania 22 and featured unlikely stars like Ric Flair and Finlay. Both Superstars were not the first names that anyone would think of for a ladder match, but they were a big part of the bout.

Winner: Rob Van Dam won the match when he was able to take down the briefcase and fell from the ladder.

Highlights: In the most memorable moment of an already exciting match, Ric Flair took a bump where Matt Hardy hit him with a Superplex from the top of a ladder.

Flair was 57 at the time, and the spot left the crowd cringing. Officials helped Flair to the back, although he came back out later in the match.
