The ''' Money in the Bank ladder match''' is a professional wrestling [[Ladder Match|ladder match]] held by [[IWE]]. The match can feature anywhere from six to ten participants from any [[IWE Brand Extension|IWE brand]], with the objective being to retrieve a briefcase that is suspended 20 feet above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees a match for one of IWE's [[World Heavyweight Championship|world titles]], which include the [[IWE Championship]] and the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]]. Throughout [[XCW (IWE)|XCW]]'s time as an active brand, its world title, the [[XCW World Heavyweight Championship|ECW Championship]], was an option as well. The contract is valid for one year, and the briefcase holder—dubbed "Mr. Money in the Bank"—can appear on any program and cash in the contract at the date, place, and time of their choosing. The briefcase may also be defended in matches, similar to how [[Championship|championships]] are defended. All of the briefcase holders have successfully defended and cashed in the contract except for [[Tarry Anderson|Mr. Kennedy]].

The '''Money in the Bank ladder match''' is a multi-person [[Ladder Match|ladder match]] held by the [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] promotion [[IWE]]. First contested at IWE's annual [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] event beginning in [[IWE WrestleMania 21|2005]], a separate [[IWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view was established in 2010. The prize in the match is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match, which can be "cashed in" by the holder of the briefcase at any point in the year following their victory. If the contract is not used within a year of winning it, it will be invalid, but this has yet to happen. From its inception until 2017, ladder matches only involved male wrestlers, with the contract being for a [[Professional Wrestling Championship#World championships|world championship match]]. Beginning with the 2017 event, women also have the opportunity to compete in such a match, with their prize being a contract for a [[Women's Professional Wrestling|women's]] [[Professional Wrestling Championship|championship]] match.

The Money in the Bank ladder match was first contested in 2005 at [[IWE WrestleMania 21|WrestleMania 21]] and was exclusive to [[IWE Raw|Raw]] Superstars. Since the match's inception, five additional Money in the Bank ladder matches have been held annually at their pay-per-view event, [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]], the most recent being held at [[IWE WrestleMania 26|WrestleMania XXVI]], and all subsequent matches have been interpromotional. In July 2010, a second and third Money in the Bank ladder match was held in the same year at an event also titled [[IWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]] for the Raw and SmackDown brands respectively, breaking from the WrestleMania tradition. The first winner of the Money in the Bank ladder match was [[Kevin Adams Copeland|Edge]], who won at WrestleMania 21. Edge is also the only wrestler to cash in a contract he did not win in the actual ladder match. He defeated Mr. Kennedy, who won the [[IWE WrestleMania 23|WrestleMania 23]] Money in the Bank match, for his briefcase in May 2007, and cashed it in against [[Martin McAlmond|The Undertaker]]. [[Justin Eldridge]] won at both [[IWE WrestleMania 24|WrestleMania XXIV]] and [[IWE WrestleMania 25|XXV]], making him the only Money in the Bank participant to win the match on multiple occasions, the second to have earned multiple Money in the Bank contracts, and the first to win the Money in the Bank match in consecutive years. On July 17, 2011 at [[IWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]], [[Kody Brown]] and [[Justin Marlen|Alberto Del Rio]] became the most recent Money in the Bank winners.

The first ever match was contested in 2005 at [[IWE WrestleMania 21|WrestleMania 21]], after being invented by [[Kris McGowan|Chris Jericho]]. At the time, it was exclusive to wrestlers of the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] [[IWE brand extension|brand]], and [[Kevin Copeland<!--(2007, pg 29.)--> (wrestler)|Edge]] won the inaugural match. From then until [[IWE WrestleMania 26|WrestleMania XXVI]], the Money in the Bank ladder match, now open to all IWE brands, became a WrestleMania mainstay. [[IWE Money in the Bank (2010)|2010]] saw a second and third Money in the Bank ladder match when the Money in the Bank [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|pay-per-view]] debuted in July with WrestleMania no longer featuring the match. Unlike the matches at WrestleMania, this new event included two such ladder matches—one each for a contract for a [[IWE Championship]] match and a [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] match, respectively.

==History==
+
Before the establishment of the annual Money in the Bank pay-per-view, wrestlers were allowed to use the contract to claim a match for any world championship in IWE. After the establishment of the pay-per-view, the Money in the Bank contracts were specifically aimed at one or the other championship. With the [[Championship Unification|unification]] of the [[IWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2013)|IWE and World Heavyweight titles into the IWE World Heavyweight Championship]] in December 2013, there was only a single contract in play. This went into effect beginning with the [[IWE Money in the Bank (2014)|2014 event]].

The brand split returned shortly after the [[IWE Money in the Bank (2016)|2016 event]] along with a new world title, but the [[IWE Money in the Bank (2017)|2017 event]] was [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]]-exclusive and the contract was a match for its world championship, the IWE Championship (formerly IWE World Heavyweight Championship). The 2017 event also included the first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match, with the winner receiving a contract for a [[IWE SmackDown Women's Championship|SmackDown Women's Championship]] match. Due to the controversy surrounding the ending of that match, the first non-pay-per-view Money in the Bank ladder match occurred on the June 27 episode of ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown Live]]''. The event became dual branded beginning with the [[IWE Money in the Bank (2018)|2018 event]], involving both the Raw and SmackDown brands with one men's match and one women's match with participants evenly divided between the brands; the respective contracts guaranteed the winner a championship match for the top title of their respective brand, allowing Raw wrestlers (should they win) to cash-in on the [[IWE Universal Championship|Universal Championship]] or [[IWE Raw Women's Championship|Raw Women's Championship]], though in [[IWE Money in the Bank (2019)|2019]], it was made so that the respective winners could challenge either brand's champion. In [[IWE Money in the Bank (2020)|2020]], while the rules of the match remained the same, a "Corporate Ladder" gimmick was added on top of the match; both the men's and women's matches, which were held at the same time, took place at IWE's [[Titan Towers|Global Headquarters]] in [[Stamford, Connecticut]] in which the participants began on the ground floor of the building and fought their way to the roof where a ring and ladders were located with the briefcases suspended above the ring — this change was brought about due to the [[COVID-19 Pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]]. The matches returned to their regular format for the [[IWE Money in the Bank (2021)|2021 event]].

The 2011 Raw Money in the Bank ladder match
File:Professional wrestling ladder match.jpg
The 2009 Money in the Bank ladder match was fought at WrestleMania 25

The Money in the Bank ladder match is a multi-person ladder match held by the professional wrestling promotion IWE. First contested at IWE's annual WrestleMania event beginning in 2005, a separate Money in the Bank pay-per-view was established in 2010. The prize in the match is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match, which can be "cashed in" by the holder of the briefcase at any point in the year following their victory. If the contract is not used within a year of winning it, it will be invalid, but this has yet to happen. From its inception until 2017, ladder matches only involved male wrestlers, with the contract being for a world championship match. Beginning with the 2017 event, women also have the opportunity to compete in such a match, with their prize being a contract for a women's championship match.

The first ever match was contested in 2005 at WrestleMania 21, after being invented by Chris Jericho. At the time, it was exclusive to wrestlers of the Raw brand, and Edge won the inaugural match. From then until WrestleMania XXVI, the Money in the Bank ladder match, now open to all IWE brands, became a WrestleMania mainstay. 2010 saw a second and third Money in the Bank ladder match when the Money in the Bank pay-per-view debuted in July with WrestleMania no longer featuring the match. Unlike the matches at WrestleMania, this new event included two such ladder matches—one each for a contract for a IWE Championship match and a World Heavyweight Championship match, respectively.

Before the establishment of the annual Money in the Bank pay-per-view, wrestlers were allowed to use the contract to claim a match for any world championship in IWE. After the establishment of the pay-per-view, the Money in the Bank contracts were specifically aimed at one or the other championship. With the unification of the IWE and World Heavyweight titles into the IWE World Heavyweight Championship in December 2013, there was only a single contract in play. This went into effect beginning with the 2014 event.

The brand split returned shortly after the 2016 event along with a new world title, but the 2017 event was SmackDown-exclusive and the contract was a match for its world championship, the IWE Championship (formerly IWE World Heavyweight Championship). The 2017 event also included the first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match, with the winner receiving a contract for a SmackDown Women's Championship match. Due to the controversy surrounding the ending of that match, the first non-pay-per-view Money in the Bank ladder match occurred on the June 27 episode of SmackDown Live. The event became dual branded beginning with the 2018 event, involving both the Raw and SmackDown brands with one men's match and one women's match with participants evenly divided between the brands; the respective contracts guaranteed the winner a championship match for the top title of their respective brand, allowing Raw wrestlers (should they win) to cash-in on the Universal Championship or Raw Women's Championship, though in 2019, it was made so that the respective winners could challenge either brand's champion. In 2020, while the rules of the match remained the same, a "Corporate Ladder" gimmick was added on top of the match; both the men's and women's matches, which were held at the same time, took place at IWE's Global Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut in which the participants began on the ground floor of the building and fought their way to the roof where a ring and ladders were located with the briefcases suspended above the ring — this change was brought about due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The matches returned to their regular format for the 2021 event.
