| - | 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]]. | + | [[File:Professional wrestling ladder match.jpg|thumb|The 2009 Money in the Bank ladder match was fought at [[IWE WrestleMania 25|WrestleMania 25]]]] |
| | + | 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|CM Punk]] 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. | + | 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. |
| | | | |
| - | The most recent Money in the Bank match winners are [[Nick Kessler|Dolph Ziggler]], who won the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] contract at Money in the Bank in 2012, and [[John Cena]], who earned the [[WWE Championship]] contract at the same event.
| + | 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]]. |
| | | | |
| - | Until the establishment of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, wrestlers were allowed to use the contract to claim a match for the world championship of any WWE brand if they desired. Edge and [[Charlie Wilson|Jack Swagger]], who were both Raw wrestlers at the time they had won Money in the Bank contracts (Edge with the contract for which he defeated Mr. Kennedy and Swagger with the contract he won at [[IWE WrestleMania 26|WrestleMania XXVI]]), did this on the episodes of SmackDown that immediately followed their contract wins.
| + | 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]]. |

| - | In IWE storyline, the concept for the Money in the Bank match was introduced in March 2005 by [[Khris Jericho]]. He pitched the idea on an episode of ''[[IWE Raw|Raw]]'' to [[Authority Figures#Raw brand authorities|General Manager]] [[Eric Bischoff]], who liked it and promptly signed it for WrestleMania 21 naming Jericho, [[Khristian]], [[Kevin Hunter]], [[Kevin Adams Copeland|Edge]], [[Junior Remeriz]], and [[Glenn McAlmond|Kane]] to participate in the match. Edge won the match, and then he carried and used the briefcase as a weapon for the next nine months, including once putting it on the line in a ladder match against [[Matt Hooper]] at ''IWE Homecoming''.

| | | | |
| - | Edge used the contract at the January 2006 New Year's Revolution, defeating IWE Champion Dustin Simpson in less than two minutes directly after Simpson had retained his title in an Elimination Chamber match. Although the briefcase was originally for the World Heavyweight Championship held by Batista, he and Simpson were traded in the draft and the IWE Championship was then the Raw belt.

| - | The Money in the Bank idea was revived by [[Michael Ferry|Carlito]] on a February 2006 episode of ''Raw''. [[Vince McMahon|David Ackeret]] approved the suggestion and set up qualifying matches for the match that would take place at [[IWE WrestleMania 22|WrestleMania 22]]. It was later announced that the match was to be interpromotional, and [[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown!'s]] General Manager [[Theodore Long]] also set up qualifying matches to select three members of his roster to compete. In the Raw brand qualifying matches, [[Kyle Szatkowski|Kyle Van Dam]] (KVD) defeated [[Phil Leg|Trevor Murdoch]], [[Junior Remeriz]] defeated [[Chavo McAlmond, Jr.|Chavo McAlmond]], and [[Ric Flair]] defeated Carlito. On ''SmackDown!'', [[Dan Hooper|Finlay]] defeated [[Bobby Ashley]], [[Matt Hooper]] defeated [[Road Warrior Animal]], and [[Bobby Ashley]] won a "last chance [[Battle Royal Match|battle royal]]."

| | | | |
| - | Kyle Van Dam won the [[IWE WrestleMania 22|WrestleMania 22]] Money in the Bank ladder match after pushing Remeriz and Hooper off a ladder, while he was on another ladder, and retrieving the briefcase. That April, he defended the contract and won the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship]] in a contract vs. title/winner take all match against Benjamin at [[IWE Backlash (2006)|Backlash]]. KVD announced in May 2006 that he would cash in his contract at [[XCW One Night Stand (2006)|One Night Stand]] against Simpson in an [[Hardcore-Based Variations|Extreme Rules Match]]. The match ended with Simpson losing after Edge (the then #1 contender to the title) interfered on behalf of Van Dam and speared Simpson through a table. KVD then performed a [[Frog Splash|Five-Star frog splash]] and XCW representative [[Paul Heyman]] counted the pinfall.

| - | The third Money in the Bank ladder match was held at [[IWE WrestleMania 23|WrestleMania 23]], and was the first to feature eight participants from Raw, SmackDown!, and [[XCW (IWE)|XCW]]. Qualifying matches began on the February 19 episode of ''Raw''. On an episode of ''Raw'' the two former Money in the Bank winners, [[Kevin Adams Copeland|Edge]] and [[Kyle Szatkowski|Kyle Van Dam]] faced off, with Edge coming out on top to earn the first spot in the match. [[Image:Kennedy-MITB-winner.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Mr. Kennedy became "Mr. Money in the Bank" at WrestleMania 23, but would not be able to cash the contract in.]] The next night on ''XCW'' another [[IWE Brand Extension|cross-brand]] match took place, with [[Justin Eldridge|CM Punk]] defeating [[Joe Linderman|Johnny Nitro]] to qualify. On that week's ''SmackDown'' [[Steve Britz|King Booker]] defeated [[Glenn McAlmond|Kane]] in a [[Falls Count Anywhere Match|Falls Count Anywhere match]] following interference from [[Reg Hageman|The Great Khali]] to become the third man to qualify. On the next episode of ''Raw'' [[Josh Hooper]] pinned [[Junior Remeriz]] in a match to become the fourth man to qualify. The next night on ''XCW'' [[Tarry Anderson Anderson|Mr. Kennedy]] defeated [[Jason Dikes|Sabu]] in an [[Hardcore Wrestling|Extreme Rules match]] to earn the fifth spot. Two qualifying matches took place on the next ''SmackDown'' with [[Matt Hooper]] defeating [[Joey Hayes]] and [[Dan Hooper|Finlay]] coming out on top in a [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches|Triple Threat match]] against [[Mikhail Schmalzried|Mikhail Vontavious Porter]] and [[Kevin Hunter]] to qualify. What was to be the final qualifying match took place on ''Raw'' between [[Michael Ferry|Carlito]] and [[Ric Flair]]. The match was deemed a no contest when The Great Khali interfered and attacked both men. The match was rescheduled for the next week on ''Raw'', with [[Kevin McAlmond]] bribing his way into the match, which was to be an [[Basic Elimination Matches|Elimination match]]. McAlmond pinned both Flair and Carlito after performing an [[Cutter#Jumping cutter|RKO]] on each of them. Edge and Kevin McAlmond had recently stopped [[Rated-RKO|teaming together]], and there was a lot of tension between them. They both attempted to get the other taken out of the Money in the Bank ladder match. Both failed, as Edge ultimately won a "last chance battle royal" after feigning injury to retain his slot.

| - | Mr. Kennedy won at WrestleMania 23, after ramming CM Punk off the ladder using another ladder. During the next few weeks, he kept declaring that he would cash in the briefcase at WrestleMania XXIV. Kennedy, however, suffered an injury, and on the May 7, 2007 episode of ''Raw'', he lost the Money in the Bank briefcase to Edge. As of 2012, Kennedy is the only wrestler to lose the briefcase. The following night at the taping for the May 11, 2007 ''SmackDown'', [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Martin McAlmond|The Undertaker]] and [[Jesse Dern|Batista]] fought to a draw in a steel cage match, after which a returning [[Steven Larson]] assaulted Undertaker and left him injured in the ring. As Larson was leaving Edge came to the ring with his briefcase, handed it to referee Jim Korderas, and defeated the Undertaker after a spear to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time.

| - | The fourth Money in the Bank ladder match took place at [[IWE WrestleMania 24|WrestleMania XXIV]] and was intended to be another eight-man match-up, consisting of wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, and XCW. Qualifying matches began on the February 18 episode of ''Raw'', as both [[Josh Hooper]] and [[Tarry Anderson|Mr. Kennedy]] qualified by defeating [[Dominic]] and [[Sean Venis|Val Venis]], respectively, in singles matches. On the February 22 episode of ''SmackDown'', [[Junior Remeriz]] qualified by defeating [[James Yang|Jimmy Wang Yang]] in a singles match. Back on Raw, General Manager [[William Kapphan]] placed [[Khris Jericho]] in a match against Josh Hooper with the stipulation that if Jericho won, he would be in the ladder match. Jericho defeated Hooper in that match on February 25. The following week on Raw, however, the two faced off again, this time for Hooper's [[IWE Intercontinental Championship]]. Jericho won the match and title, and it was revealed that Hooper was suspended from WWE for 60 days for violating the Wellness Policy. He was subsequently removed from the Money in the Bank ladder match and WrestleMania altogether, making this ladder match the only seven-man Money in the Bank match. Also on this episode of ''Raw'', [[Michael Ferry|Carlito]] defeated [[Mark Semmler]] to qualify. On a SmackDown/XCW live event on March 9, [[IWE United States Championship|United States Champion]] [[Mikhail Schmalzried|Mikhail Vontavious Porter]] defeated [[James Noble]] to qualify. On the March 11 episode of ''XCW'', [[Justin Eldridge|CM Punk]] defeated [[Nelson Coleman, Jr.|Big Daddy V]] to qualify. And finally, on the March 14 episode of ''SmackDown'', [[Joe Linderman]] defeated his tag team partner [[Joe Smith|The Miz]] to be the last man to qualify.

| | | | |
| - | At WrestleMania, CM Punk won the match after trapping Jericho's leg in a ladder and then climbing the ladder. Punk cashed in his title shot on the June 30 episode of ''Raw''. A farewell speech by [[Jim Ross]] was interrupted by then-World Heavyweight Champion [[Kevin Adams Copeland|Edge]] who had him removed from the ring and then began to insult the crowd, saying that they will never get to see a world championship being defended on Raw (as at the time both Edge and IWE Champion Triple K were members of the ''SmackDown'' brand). When he was about to leave the arena, [[Jesse Dern|Batista]] came out and assaulted Edge in retaliation for Edge [[Heel|cheating]] to win their title match the previous night at [[IWE Night of Champions (2008)|Night of Champions]]. Punk then immediately ran to the ring with a referee to cash in his contract, then performed a [[Go 2 Sleep|GTS]] on Edge to win the World Heavyweight Championship, making it Raw-exclusive in the process.

| - | The fifth annual Money in the Bank ladder match was announced for WrestleMania XXV. Qualifying matches began on the February 23 episode of ''Raw'', in which [[Justin Eldridge|CM Punk]] qualified by defeating [[Joe Smith|The Miz]] and [[Joe Linderman]] in a [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches|Triple Threat match]]. On the March 3 episode of ''XCW on Sci Fi'', [[Steven Larson]] qualified for the match by defeating [[Justin Black|Santino Marella]]. Both [[Mikhail Schmalzried|Mikhail Vontavious Porter]] and [[Junior Remeriz]] qualified for the match on the March 6 episode of ''SmackDown'', defeating [[Matt Hooper]] and [[Josh Hooper]] in respective single matches. On the March 9 episode of ''Raw'', [[Jose Serrano]] qualified by defeating [[Khris Jericho]], after Jericho was distracted by [[Ric Flair]]. [[Khristian]] qualified the following night on ''XCW on Sci Fi'' by winning a tri-brand [[Battle Royal Match|battle royal]]. [[Dan Hooper|Finlay]] was the final person to qualify for the match when he defeated The [[Brian Woods]] on the March 13 episode of ''SmackDown''.
| + | |
| | | | |
| - | At WrestleMania XXV, CM Punk won the match and became the first wrestler to win two Money in the Bank ladder matches, and the only one to win the match for two consecutive years. On the May 1 episode of ''SmackDown'', Punk challenged the World Heavyweight Champion Edge for a non-title match with the intent that if he defeated Edge, he would cash in his title shot right after the match. Later that night, Punk defeated Edge and attempted to cash in. However, before the ringside bell could ring to start the title match, Punk and Edge were both attacked by [[Keith Coleman|Umaga]] and Josh Hooper respectively. As a consequence, the match never started and Punk retained his contract. Punk again tried to cash in for a World Heavyweight Championship match against Edge on the May 15 episode of ''SmackDown'' but was again stopped by Umaga. After Josh Hooper defeated Edge in a ladder match to win the World Heavyweight Championship at [[IWE Extreme Rules (2009)|Extreme Rules]], Punk cashed in to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the second time.

| - | On the February 22 episode of ''Raw'', it was announced that the sixth annual Money in the Bank ladder match would take place at [[IWE WrestleMania 26|WrestleMania XXVI]]. The first qualifying match was held later that night, where [[Khristian]] defeated [[Michael Ferry|Carlito]] to qualify. Three more qualifying matches were held on the February 26 episode of ''SmackDown'', with [[Nick Kessler|Dolph Ziggler]] defeating [[Joe Linderman]] and [[Blake Wheeler|B-Truth]] in a [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches|Triple Threat match]], [[Glenn McAlmond|Kane]] defeating [[Dax Hoovestall]], and [[Junior Remeriz]] defeating [[Justin Eldridge|CM Punk]] to qualify. The March 1 episode of ''Raw'' saw both [[Charlie Wilson|Jack Swagger]] and [[Mikhail Schmalzreid|Mikhail Vontavious Porter]] qualify by defeating [[Justin Black|Santino Marella]] and [[Zack Nuss]] respectively. [[Matt Hooper]] was the next to qualify for the match when he defeated Dax Hoovestall on the March 5 episode of ''SmackDown''. In what was initially declared as the final qualifying match, [[Justin Hensen|Evan Bourne]] defeated [[William Kapphan]] on the March 8 episode of ''Raw'' to become the eighth competitor. Due to his favorable association with IWE Chairman [[Vince McMahon|David Ackeret]], Hoovestall was given a third chance on the March 12 episode of ''SmackDown'' to qualify for the match. In what would also be made a [[IWE Intercontinental Championship]] defense by SmackDown general manager [[Theodore Long]], Hoovestall defeated ''local competitor'' Aaron Bolo to qualify. On the March 23 episode of ''Raw'', the number of participants was once again increased to a record ten, when [[Jose Sarreno]] defeated [[Jake Wilson]] to qualify.

| | | | |
| - | At WrestleMania XXVI, Jack Swagger won the match after knocking Khristian off a ladder with the briefcase itself. The following night on ''Raw'', Swagger attempted to cash in his shot against the [[IWE Championship|IWE Champion]] [[Dustin Simpson]] after ambushing Simpson. However, as Simpson recovered too quickly from the ambush, Swagger cancelled his match and retained his contract. The next night, at the taping for the April 2, 2010 episode of ''SmackDown'', after [[Kevin Adams Copeland|Edge]] attacked then [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Khris Jericho]], Swagger cashed in his contract and successfully claimed the World Heavyweight Championship.

| - | In February 2010, IWE announced that "[[IWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]]" would be the title to their July 18 pay-per-view event at the [[Sprint Center]] in [[Kansas City, Missouri]]. The event included two Money in the Bank ladder matches featuring the Raw and SmackDown brands respectively. Unlike previous iterations of the match, the winners can only challenge for their own brand's World Championship. All eight competitors for the Raw brand's match were announced on the June 28 episode of ''Raw'' by [[List of IWE Raw guest stars|guest host]] [[Rob Zombie]]. The eight competitors were [[Kevin McAlmond]], [[Joe Smith|The Miz]], [[Blake Wheeler|B-Truth]], [[Khris Jericho]], [[Justin Hensen|Evan Bourne]], [[Kyle Johnson, Jr.|Kyle Johnson]], [[Joe Linderman]] and [[Kevin Adams Copeland|Edge]]. On the July 5th episode of Raw, R-Truth was involved in an injury storyline with The Miz and was subsequently removed from the match and replaced by [[Steven LArson]]. Two days later, IWE announced six of the competitors for the SmackDown brand's match through its official website: [[Matt Hooper]], [[Glenn McAlmond|Kane]], "Dashing" [[Mark Semmler]], [[Khristian]], [[Jose Serrano]] and The [[Marc Beltran|Big Show]]. On the July 9 episode of SmackDown, [[Dax Hoovestall]] and [[Nick Kessler|Dolph Ziggler]] both competed in qualifying matches and were added to the match.

| | | | |
| - | At the PPV, Kane won the ''SmackDown'' Money in the Bank match. He cashed it in the same night by defeating [[Scott Wright, Jr.|Rey Mysterio]] to win the World Heavyweight Championship. He also became the quickest man to cash in the briefcase. For ''Raw'', [[Joe Smith|The Miz]] won that brand's Money in the Bank contract. After a couple of aborted attempts (which due to the bell not sounding to start the matches, allowed Miz to keep the briefcase), Miz finally cashed in his title opportunity on the November 22, 2010 episode of ''Raw'', immediately after Kevin McAlmond successfully retained the IWE Championship against [[Daniel Gonzalez|Wade Barrett]] in which [[The Nexus]] attacked McAlmond before the match and injured his right leg. Miz went on to defeat Orton with a Skull Crushing Finale to win his first IWE Championship.

| - | Raw's [[Justin Marlen|Alberto Del Rio]] and SmackDown's [[Kody Brown]] won their respective brands' 2011 Money in the Bank Ladder Match. At the end of the night, after CM Punk won the IWE Championship from [[Dustin Simpson]], [[Vince McMahon|David Ackeret]] ordered Del Rio to come in and attempt to cash in his briefcase against Punk. (Punk had threatened to leave the company after the pay-per-view, as his contract was expiring.) Del Rio came out to do so, but got taken out with a kick to the head, and Punk fled through the crowd. A similar cash-in attempt was performed on then-champion Rey Mysterio on the July 25, 2011 episode of ''Raw'', but Del Rio was again unable to cash in the briefcase. However, Del Rio was able to cash in his briefcase and defeated CM Punk for the IWE Championship at [[IWE SummerSlam|SummerSlam]] on August 14, 2011.

| - | On the July 22, 2011 episode of ''SmackDown'', Kody Brown announced that he was going to cash his contract in at [[IWE WrestleMania 28|WrestleMania XXVIII]]. On the November 25, 2011 episode of ''SmackDown'', Kody Brown cashed in on World Heavyweight Champion [[Steven Larson]], who had been knocked out by The [[Marc Beltran|Big Show]]. Brown got the pinfall victory and was awarded the championship, however SmackDown General Manager [[Theodore Long]] overruled the match due to Larson not being medically cleared to compete, the first time a Money in the Bank cash-in match was reversed. Since the match never officially took place, Brown was given the briefcase back and again reiterated that he planned on cashing in at WrestleMania XXVIII. On December 18, 2011 at the [[IWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2011)|TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs]] pay-per-view Big Show defeated Steven Larson to win the World Heavyweight Championship, Brown then cashed in his briefcase on Big Show to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.

But a third [[IWE Money in the Bank (2012)|Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on July 15, 2012 at the [[US Airways Center]] in [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. There were the usual two Money in the Bank ladder matches; however, the matches were no longer separated by brands (RAW and SmackDown). Instead, they were separated by Championship (IWE and World Heavyweight).

| - | In the first match of the night [[Nick Kessler|Dolph Ziggler]] defeated 7 other competitors to win the World Heavyweight Championship contract Money in the Bank ladder match. He would attempt to cash it in on that same night for a title shot against [[Kevin Farrelly|Sheamus]] but was brogue kicked before the referee could call for the bell so the match never started and Ziggler retained his contract.

| - | In the last match of the evening, [[Dustin Simpson]] defeated Kane, The Big Show, The Miz, and Khris Jericho to win the IWE Championship Money in the Bank breifcase when Simpson used the briefcase to block Big Show's WMD knockout punch and subsequently used the briefcase as a weapon against Big Show, snapping the handle off the briefcase in the process with Simpson in possession to win the match and the IWE Title opportunity. This was Simpson's first Money in the Bank ladder match. A special stipulation had been added before hand that only former IWE Champions could participate in the IWE Championship Money in the Bank ladder match for 2012.

| - | Simpson cashed in his contract during ''[[IWE Monday Night Raw (July 23, 2012)|Raw 1000]]'', and failed to win the IWE Title when Big Show interfered in the match, causing [[Justin Eldridge|CM Punk]] to be disqualified and retain the title (as championships don't change hands on DQs). This makes Simpson the first wrestler to cash in a Money in the Bank contract and fail to win a title.

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.
