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, 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; Raw featured the IWE Championship and had a red color scheme while 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.

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.
