'''Money in the Bank''' is a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] event, produced annually in mid-July by [[IWE]]. It is named after the [[Money in the Bank Ladder Match|Money in the Bank ladder match]], which previously only took place at WrestleMania. The Money in the Bank ladder match debuted at [[IWE WrestleMania 21|WrestleMania 21]] in 2005, and the first person to grab a briefcase hanging from the rafters won and was guaranteed a world championship match at any time for the next twelve months. The Money in the Bank match was held at the next five WrestleMania events, after which a pay-per-view was created and centered around the match.

Each Money in the Bank pay-per-view up until and including 2013 featured two ladder matches. One was contested for a shot at the IWE Championship, with the briefcase colored red, and the other was contested for a World Heavyweight Championship shot, with the briefcase colored blue. Originally, these colors were to represent the two components of the [[IWE Brand Extension]] which was still in effect at the time; ''[[IWE Raw|Raw]]'' featured the IWE Championship and had a red color scheme while ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]'' featured the World Heavyweight Championship and a blue color scheme. Shortly after the 2011 Money in the Bank event, the Brand Extension was discontinued. However, IWE kept conducting separate Money in the Bank matches in 2012 and 2013.

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. 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.
-
The concept of this pay-per-view is that there are [[Money in the Bank Ladder Match|two Money in the bank ladder matches]], one for a [[IWE Championship]] contract, and one for a [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|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 [[IWE Monday Night Raw|Raw]] wrestlers vying for the IWE Championship contract, and [[IWE Friday Night Smackdown|SmackDown]] wrestlers competing for the World Title contract. But with the dissolving (for all intents and purposes) of the [[IWE Brand Extension|brand extension]] in Fall 2011 in favor of all programming becoming full roster "Supershows", the two ladder matches were then simply divided by championship.
+
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. However, in 2014 and 2015, the championship itself has also been contested in a ladder match.
-
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.

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.

Money in the Bank is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced annually in mid-July by IWE. It is named after the Money in the Bank ladder match, which previously only took place at WrestleMania. The Money in the Bank ladder match debuted at WrestleMania 21 in 2005. The Money in the Bank match would then be held at the next five WrestleMania events, after which the match concept was spun off on to its own pay-per-view beginning in 2010.

[edit] Concept

The "Money in the Bank" pay-per-view centers around a ladder match, the prize of which is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match. 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.

As long as the IWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship existed as 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 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.

[edit] Theme song

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 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 "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.
