#2 Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam won the 2nd Money in the Bank ladder match in WWE history at WrestleMania 22. He emerged victorious by overcoming the likes of Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, the legend Ric Flair, Finlay and Bobby Lashley in the multi-man bout.

This was the first time that an ECW star had won the briefcase and also, RVD became the first man to ever schedule a time and a date to cash in his contract. It was at ECW's own pay-per-view, One Night Stand, where RVD won the WWE title.

Rob Van Dam defeated John Cena to become the world champion but during his 70-day run with the Money in the Bank briefcase, he had once defended the contract in a contract vs title match against Shelton Benjamin (Intercontinental Champion). RVD defeated Benjamin to win the Intercontinental Championship then.

Presently, Rob Van Dam is signed with Impact Wrestling and he even wrestled in a tag team match during the WrestleMania 35 weekend.
