Money in the Bank is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced annually in mid-July by IWE. The company regards it as one of the flagship events of IWE, as it is the only Pay-Per-View (PPV) event named after an annual WrestleMania match, the Money in the Bank ladder match. The Money in the Bank match debuted at WrestleMania 21 in 2005 and since that time the winner of that contest can cash in a briefcase that contains a contract for a World title match anytime in the next 12 months. From 2005-2010, at WrestleMania, there was only one Money in the Bank ladder match per year, and the winner could contest for either brand's world title; beginning with the advent of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, however, there are two annual matches (one for Raw, one for SmackDown), with the winner only able to contend for his brand's world title, and the matches now take place at the Money in the Bank event rather than WrestleMania.
The event was first produced in 2010, and a second event took place in 2011. A third Money in the Bank PPV is scheduled for Sunday, July 15 at the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

Concept
The concept of this pay-per-view is that there are two Money in the bank ladder matches, one for a IWE Championship contract, and one for a World Heavyweight Championship contract. The winner receives a contract for a match for his designated world championship.
Originally, the matches were divided by brand, with Raw wrestlers vying for the IWE Championship contract, and SmackDown wrestlers competing for the World Title contract. But with the dissolving (for all intents and purposes) of the brand extension in Fall 2011 in favor of all programming becoming full roster "Supershows", the two ladder matches were then simply divided by championship.
During the match, there are multiple wrestlers in the ring. The first person to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase is declared the winner. The winner can then cash-in the contract anytime and any place for up to one year, starting on the night of the pay-per-view.
