The Money in the Bank (MITB), first presented by WWE in 2005, became a foundation event in pro wrestling. The match includes various contenders fighting to retrieve a briefcase hanging on the ring, containing an agreement for a guaranteed title match for the following year. The debut match saw Edge winning the briefcase. Throughout the long term, the MITB match has developed to incorporate both male and female wrestlers, with the women's division joining in 2017. This yearly occasion presently includes separate matches for male and female superstars, each competing for their briefcases.
WWE has seen 35 Money in the Bank briefcase champs, including men's and women's matches. While many wrestlers have gone on to win the title with their briefcases, a few have failed to capitalize on the opportunity and went on to lose their Money in the Bank briefcase against the World Champion.
List of Men's Money in the Bank Winner
Edge, Randy Orton, John Cena, The Miz, Mr. Kennedy, Damien Sandow, Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Jack Swagger, Daniel Bryan, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Sheamus, Baron Corbin, Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Otis, Big E, Austin Theory, Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre are the WWE superstars who won a MITB contract. CM Punk is the only superstar who won the briefcase consecutively two times while Edge and The Miz are the only two superstars to grab the briefcase an additional one time each even after not participating or losing in a ladder match.
Edge made history as the very first MITB champ and the pioneer of a successful cash-in. From that point forward, WWE has seen 29 attempts to cash in the MITB contract, with 23 of those turned into new champions. This has prompted the WWE Titles to change hands multiple times. However, not all have been successful; six superstars failed in their cash-in attempts, and two — Mr. Kennedy and Otis lost their briefcases to other superstars without ever cashing in.
