Ranking all previous Money in the Bank wins according to the long-term impact

#1 Edge (2005)

The day The Ultimate Opportunist was born.

It really tough to outmatch the original, and this goes very right with the Money in the Bank wins as well. WWE presented their first ever Money in the Bank ladder match at 'Mania 21 with the aim of keeping all the big superstars without a program on the 'Mania card, but who would have thought that they would end up shaping up one of the most illustrious careers in the history of WWE.

Edge won, and gave birth to his Ultimate Opportunist persona with this win that stayed with him throughout his career. Becoming the biggest heel on the red brand, Edge had a tremendous feud with Matt Hardy before he won the WWE Title from John Cena in early 2006. While his initial runs with the title were short, the success of this period led to a total of 11 reigns with the World Title. Edge was to Smackdown what John Cena was to Raw, and he rightfully ended his career in 2011 as a World Heavyweight Champion.
