'''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|Money in the Bank ladder match]]. The Money in the Bank match debuted at [[IWE WrestleMania 21|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 "Money in the Bank" pay-per-view centers around a [[Money in the Bank Ladder Match|ladder match]], the prize of which is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match.

As long as the [[IWE Championship]] and the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] existed as [[IWE Brand Extension|separate titles]], each of the annual pay-per-view featured two "Money in the Bank" matches, each contesting for a contract for one of the two championships. After the two titles were unified in December 2013, a contract for the now unified [[IWE Championship|IWE World Heavyweight Championship]] became the prize of a single "Money in the Bank" match.

Money in the Bank is the only IWE pay-per-view event with a regular theme song, as all but the first event have used "Money in the Bank" by in-house IWE composer [[Jim Johnston (Composer)|Jim Johnston]] as its theme song. This is in stark contrast to other pay-per-view events, which use songs sponsored by mainstream recording artists, which was the case with the first event using "[[Cool Is Just a Number|Money]]" by [[I Fight Dragons]]. Before the advent of the pay-per-view, the "Money in the Bank" song was used as the entrance music for [[Donald Trump]] for his numerous guest appearances on WWE television.

The winner of the contract (contained in the various colored briefcases shown below) can then cash in the contract at a time and place of their choosing anytime within the next year - beginning the night they win the briefcase - for a championship match.

After the two titles were unified in December 2013, a contract for the now unified IWE World Heavyweight Championship became the prize of a single "Money in the Bank" match. However, in 2014 and 2015, the championship itself has also been contested in a ladder match.
