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

#5 The Miz (2010)

The Must see

Mr.

Money in the Bank.

This is where we move into the career-changing wins for a superstar. Back in early 2010, The Miz was having a fun run in the mid-card on Raw. His tremendous reign as US Champion was perfectly complemented by his simultaneous reign as Unified Tag Champions with Big Show. Never considered a bonafide professional wrestler, his career took a turn for good when he won the Red Brand's Money in the Bank Contract in 2010.

Cashing in on a frail Randy Orton on the night after Survivor Series 2010, The Miz became the first Reality TV star to hold the top prize of WWE. As an icing on the cake, The Miz held on the title through the WrestleMania season and even defeated John Cena in the main event of 'Mania 27. Since then, The Miz has turned into one of the best all-round performers in the company and is a favourite to win the contract this year as well.

#4 CM Punk (2009)

The second win for the Straight Edge Superstar.

While his Money in the Bank victory in 2008 shot him into the main event scene for a short period of time, it wasn't until his win in the same match next year that he became a bonafide megastar in the company. Etching his name in the record books by winning the match for the second consecutive year, the victory marked the beginning of a much-needed character change for the Straight Edge Superstar in mid-2009.

Cashing in the contract on a drained out Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules, it started a slow-burning heel turn for Punk and a phenomenal rivalry with Jeff Hardy that was the center of focus on the Blue Brand throughout the summer. For the next two year, Punk was the prime heel in WWE, feuding with like of Mysterio, Orton and others before the infamous Pipebomb took place. The rest, as we all know, is glorified history.
