2. Kane waiting 50 minutes
In 2010, Kane defeated several other wrestlers to win the contract for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rey Mysterio was the champion at that time and successfully defended his title against Jack Swagger. However, Swagger kept attacking Mysterio after the match, and Kane interrupted to stop it. Kane then cashed in the contract with the referee’s help and became the new World Heavyweight Champion as Mysterio was tired.
3. Liv Morgan cashing-in on the same night
Liv Morgan won the Money in the Bank contract in 2022 and cashed it in against Ronda Rousey to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. The crowd was very excited to see Rousey lose the title to Morgan, who was a fan favorite.
4. Edge cashed-in on the first one
At WrestleMania 21, Edge won the first Money in the Bank contract. He was very happy and hinted at cashing it in at WrestleMania 22. But he changed his mind and cashed it in on John Cena at New Year’s Revolution in 2006. This created a new milestone in WWE history and made Edge the world champion for the first time. The fans saw the power of the Money in the Bank contract.
