WWE Money in the Bank 2019: 5 little-known facts about the event

#2 Chris Jericho came up with the concept

Chris Jericho didn't come up with the entire Money in the Bank concept himself

Some pieces of wrestling trivia just roll off the tongue for the WWE Universe, much like Pat Patterson being the brains behind The Royal Rumble idea, it's relatively well-known that Chris Jericho was the man who penned the idea for Money in the Bank.

Jericho himself spoke about the process of coming up with the match in his second book entitled Undisputed. The former World Champion pointed out that it wasn't entirely his own idea, instead, it was a collaboration between himself and former Raw head writer Brian Gerwitz.

The idea has since lead to 14 years of Money in the Bank ladder matches and cash-ins that have excited the WWE Universe, which shows that Chris Jericho could have a very bright future ahead of him at AEW.
