[[File:Professional wrestling ladder match.jpg|thumb|The 2009 Money in the Bank ladder match was performed at [[WrestleMania 25]]]]
The '''Money in the Bank ladder match''' is a multi-person [[ladder match]] held by the [[professional wrestling]] promotion [[WWE]]. First performed at WWE's annual [[WrestleMania]] event beginning in 2005, a separate [[WWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]] event was established in 2010. The prize of the match is a briefcase containing a contract for a [[Professional wrestling championship|championship]] match of the winner's choice, which, within WWEs [[Kayfabe|fictional storyline]], 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, the match only involved male wrestlers, with the contract being for a [[World championship (professional wrestling)|world championship]] match. Beginning with the [[2017 Money in the Bank]] event, women also have the opportunity to compete in such a match, with their prize being a contract for a [[Women's championship (professional wrestling)|women's championship]] match. As of the [[Money in the Bank (2022)|2022 event]], winners can use the contract on any championship.

The first match was contested in 2005 at [[WrestleMania 21]], after [[Chris Jericho]] invented the concept. At the time, it was exclusive to wrestlers of the [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]] brand and [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] won the inaugural match. From then until [[WrestleMania XXVI]] in March 2010, the Money in the Bank ladder match, now open to all [[WWE brands]], became a WrestleMania mainstay. The [[2010 Money in the Bank]] event saw a second and third Money in the Bank ladder match when the eponymous event debuted that July, with WrestleMania no longer featuring the match. Unlike the matches at WrestleMania, this titular event included two such ladder matches: one each for a contract for a [[WWE Championship]] match and a [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002–2013)|World Heavyweight Championship]] (2002–2013 version) match, respectively.

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

The brand split returned shortly after the [[2016 Money in the Bank]] event along with a new world title. The 2017 event, however, was [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]]-exclusive and the contract was a match for its world championship, the WWE Championship (formerly WWE World Heavyweight Championship). It 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]]/[[livestreaming]] Money in the Bank ladder match occurred on the June 27 episode of ''[[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]''. Brand-exclusive pay-per-view and livestreaming events were discontinued the following year, thus the [[2018 Money in the Bank]] event involved both the Raw and SmackDown brands. It had 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 [[WWE Universal Championship|Universal Championship]] or [[WWE Women's Championship|Raw Women's Championship]]. Beginning with the [[2019 Money in the Bank]], the respective winners could challenge either brand's champion.

At the [[2020 Money in the Bank]] event, 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 WWE's [[Titan Towers]] 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 Money in the Bank]] event. While the contract was originally only for a world championship match, 2022 winner [[Austin Theory]] was the first and so far only to cash-in on a non-world championship when he unsuccessfully challenged for the [[WWE United States Championship]].

== Concept ==
The Money in the Bank ladder match can involve anywhere from 5–10 participants, with the objective being to retrieve a briefcase that is suspended 20 [[Foot (unit)|feet]] above the ring. The match was originally only for male wrestlers until 2017, when women began to have their own ladder match.<ref name="wwe59">{{cite book|last1=Shields|first1=Brian|last2=Sullivan|first2=Kevin|title=WWE: History of WrestleMania|year=2009|page=59}}</ref> The briefcase originally contained a contract that guaranteed a match for a [[World championship (professional wrestling)|world championship]], and beginning in 2017 also a [[Women's championship (professional wrestling)|women's world championship]]—as of 2022, the contract can be used on any championship. The original match at [[WrestleMania 21]] was exclusive to the [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]] brand, with the contract guaranteeing a match for Raw's top title at the time, the [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002–2013)|World Heavyweight Championship]] (2002–2013 version). After this, wrestlers had the option between the [[WWE Championship]] and the World Heavyweight Championship, regardless of the brand the wrestler belonged to. In 2006, [[ECW (WWE brand)|ECW]]'s world title, the [[ECW Championship]], became a third option until 2010, as in February that year, the ECW brand along with the title was deactivated; despite being an option, no contract holder cashed-in on the ECW Championship.

Beginning with the [[2010 Money in the Bank]] event in July, it included two ladder matches, one for the Raw brand and one for [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]]; Raw's ladder match was for a contract for a match for its top title at the time, the WWE Championship, while SmackDown's contract was for a match for its top title at the time, the World Heavyweight Championship. Although the [[WWE brand split]] ended after the 2011 event, a ladder match dedicated to each championship continued through the 2013 event. In December 2013, the titles were unified as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The next three years' events included a sole ladder match with a contract guaranteeing a match for the unified title. The brand split returned after the 2016 event. The WWE World Heavyweight Championship was made exclusive to SmackDown and renamed back to WWE Championship, while Raw established the [[WWE Universal Championship]] as their top title. Despite this, the 2017 event was SmackDown-exclusive and the contract was for a match for its world title. The 2017 event also saw the first women's Money in the Bank match with its contract for a [[Women's World Championship (WWE)|SmackDown Women's Championship]] match.<ref name="wwe59"/><ref name="MITB1">{{cite web|title=Results:Money in the Bank ladder match|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/24/matches/6464426|publisher=WWE|access-date=2008-05-23|date=2008-03-30}}</ref>

Brand-exclusive PPVs ended following [[WrestleMania 34]] in 2018, with all future events involving both the Raw and SmackDown brands. The Money in the Bank event now features two ladder matches, one for males and one for females, and each has eight participants evenly divided between the brands. The 2018 event was also the first year that the winners could challenge for the Universal Championship and [[WWE Women's Championship|Raw Women's Championship]], respectively. For 2018, the winners received a contract for a match for their respective brand's world championship; in 2019, it was changed so that the winners could choose either brand's top championship. The 2020 event saw a variation to the match due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]: the men's and women's matches, featuring only six competitors each but still evenly divided between the brands, were moved to WWE's headquarters in [[Stamford, Connecticut]], and occurred at the same time, with all competitors beginning on the ground floor and fighting their way to the roof where the briefcases were suspended above a ring. The 2021 event returned to the standard rules, but the 2022 event saw an uneven number of participants in the women's match; there were seven participants with four from Raw and three from SmackDown. The men's match was originally booked with an uneven division but that was rectified just before the match occurred. The 2022 event winner changed the contract, allowing wrestlers the choice of any championship to challenge for; 2022 contract winner [[Austin Theory]] unsuccessfully cashed in on the [[WWE United States Championship]]. Also in early 2022, the WWE and Universal championships were unified as the Undisputed WWE (Universal) Championship, which became exclusive to SmackDown in 2023, with Raw subsequently introducing a new [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]], while the Raw and SmackDown women's titles were renamed as the WWE Women's Championship and Women's World Championship, respectively.

The primary [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)|gimmick]] of the Money in the Bank briefcase is that it can be cashed in at the holder's sole discretion, at any time on any WWE programming. This enables the holder to take advantage of a moment's weakness in the champion, even if the champion had just finished a title defense for the night. This strategic use of the briefcase was popularized by [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]], the first Money in the Bank holder, who cashed it in at [[New Year's Revolution (2006)|New Year's Revolution]] in January 2006, immediately after defending champion [[John Cena]] had finished a grueling [[Elimination Chamber]] match against five other wrestlers. Because Cena was exhausted and barely able to defend himself, Edge made quick work of the champion, thus setting a powerful precedent for all Money in the Bank holders to come. At [[WrestleMania 31]] in 2015, [[Seth Rollins]] set a precedent that a cash-in can even occur while a championship match is in progress; Rollins cashed in during the main event match between [[Royal Rumble]] winner [[Roman Reigns]] and WWE World Heavyweight Champion [[Brock Lesnar]], converting the match to a [[triple threat match]], and pinned the challenger Reigns to win the title. [[The Miz]] attempted to repeat this at the [[TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2020)|2020 TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs]] event; however, since his tag team partner [[John Morrison (wrestler)|John Morrison]] cashed in the contract on his behalf, it was ruled an invalid cash-in and the contract was returned to The Miz, thus enforcing that only the contract holder can cash in the contract. [[Drew McIntyre]] would then cash in during a match between Rollins and reigning World Heavyweight Champion [[Damian Priest]] at the [[Money in the Bank (2024)|2024 Money in the Bank]] event, which converted that match into a triple threat, but McIntyre failed his cash in due to an attack from [[CM Punk]], which allowed Priest to retain.

The contract is valid for one year and the briefcase holder—dubbed "Mr./Ms. Money in the Bank"—can cash in the contract at the date, place, and time of their choosing.<ref name="wwe59"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/matches/6464426/results/|access-date=June 2, 2015|title=Perseverance makes Punk 'Mr. Money' in Orlando|publisher=[[WWE]]|date=March 30, 2008|last=Clayton|first=Corey|quote=But as last year's winner, Mr. Kennedy, found out last year, "Mr. Money in the Bank" is a target for all those in the locker room who seek a taste of that king-making power|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080402210114/http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/matches/6464426/results/|archive-date=April 2, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> The briefcase may also be defended in matches, similar to how [[Professional wrestling championship|championships]] are defended.

John Cena, [[Damien Sandow]], [[Baron Corbin]], [[Braun Strowman]], Austin Theory, and Drew McIntyre are the only Money in the Bank contract holders to cash in and fail to gain a championship. To date, Cena, [[Charlotte Flair]], and Seth Rollins have had the contract cashed in against them the most (three times), as Edge, [[Rob Van Dam]], and [[Damien Sandow]] have all cashed in against Cena, [[Carmella (wrestler)|Carmella]], [[Bayley (wrestler)|Bayley]], and [[Nikki A.S.H.]] have all cashed in against Flair, and [[Jon Moxley|Dean Ambrose]], Brock Lesnar, and Austin Theory have all cashed in against Rollins, who has the unique distinction in that all three cash-ins against him were for different championships: the WWE World Heavyweight Championship with Ambrose, the Universal Championship with Lesnar, and the United States Championship with Theory. Rollins was also involved in the 2024 cash in for the World Heavyweight Championship where he was originally the sole challenger for the title but contract holder McIntyre cashed in during his match, converting it to a triple threat in which Damian Priest won to retain. This also gives Rollins the distinction of being involved in the only two official cash ins that converted the singles match into a triple threat. Cena was also involved in the first three instances where the championship failed to change hands after cashing in the contract: once as the challenger, which he won by disqualification against CM Punk, the second time as champion by defeating Sandow via pinfall, and lastly as a distraction causing Corbin to lose to champion [[Jinder Mahal]]. Strowman was the first to fail by a no-contest ruling, when Brock Lesnar interfered during his Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns at the [[2018 Hell in a Cell]] event and laid out both men.

McIntyre is the most recent wrestler to fail in his cash in, losing to World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, thanks to an attack by CM Punk at the 2024 Money in the Bank. Edge, [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]], and Seth Rollins are the only Money in the Bank contract holders to be given a title opportunity that was not their cash-in match: Edge won a championship tournament in 2005 on ''Raw'' to earn him a World Heavyweight Championship match against [[Dave Bautista|Batista]], Bryan faced reigning World Heavyweight Champion [[Mark Henry]] in a [[steel cage match]] on the November 29, 2011, episode of ''[[SmackDown]]'', and Rollins received a title shot in a triple threat match, also involving Cena and reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar at the [[2015 Royal Rumble]]. Rollins and Lesnar also have a unique history of cash-ins with each other, as they are the only two contract holders to cash in on one another and win a championship: Rollins at WrestleMania 31 when he cashed in and won Lesnar's WWE World Heavyweight Championship and Lesnar at [[Extreme Rules (2019)|Extreme Rules 2019]] when he cashed in and won Rollins' Universal Championship. Priest and McIntyre also have a similar history with one another; however, theirs was for the same championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, but in their case, Priest won his cash in while McIntyre failed.

== History ==
=== 2005 ===
[[File:AdamCopeland Edge2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] was the first "Mr. Money in the Bank".]]
In [[kayfabe]], the concept for the Money in the Bank match was introduced in March 2005 by [[Chris Jericho]]. Jericho then pitched the idea to Raw general manager [[Eric Bischoff]], who liked it and promptly began to book the match for [[WrestleMania 21]]. [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] won the inaugural match and held the contract until [[New Year's Revolution (2006)|New Year's Revolution]] in January 2006. There, he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract against WWE Champion [[John Cena]], who had just successfully defended the title in an [[Elimination Chamber match]]. Edge defeated Cena to become WWE Champion and quickly establishing the precedent of "cashing in" on a vulnerable champion.

=== 2006 ===
The Money in the Bank idea was revived by [[Carly Colón|Carlito]] on a February 2006 episode of ''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]''. [[Vince McMahon|Mr. McMahon]] approved the suggestion and set up qualifying matches for the match that would take place at [[WrestleMania 22]]. It was later announced that the match was to be [[WWE brand extension#Interbrand competition|interpromotional]], and SmackDown! general manager [[Theodore Long]] also set up qualifying matches to select three members of his roster to compete. In the Raw brand qualifying matches, [[Rob Van Dam]] defeated [[Trevor Murdoch]], [[Shelton Benjamin]] defeated [[Chavo Guerrero Jr.|Chavo Guerrero]], and [[Ric Flair]] defeated Carlito. On ''[[SmackDown!]]'', [[Dave Finlay|Finlay]] defeated [[Bobby Lashley]], [[Matt Hardy]] defeated [[Road Warrior Animal]], and [[Bobby Lashley]] won a "[[professional wrestling match types#Last Chance Match|last chance]] [[battle royal (professional wrestling)|battle royal]]".

Rob Van Dam won the [[WrestleMania 22]] Money in the Bank ladder match after pushing Shelton Benjamin and Matt Hardy off of a ladder, while he was on another ladder, and retrieving the briefcase. That April, he defended the contract and won the [[WWE Intercontinental Championship]] in a contract vs. title/winner take all match against Benjamin at [[Backlash (2006)|Backlash]]. Van Dam announced in May 2006 that he would cash in his contract at [[ECW One Night Stand (2006)|ECW One Night Stand]] against Cena in an [[hardcore wrestling|Extreme Rules match]]. The match ended with Cena losing (with interference from Edge spearing Cena) after Van Dam performed a ''[[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Frog splash|Five Star Frog Splash]]''. Van Dam is the first person to give prior notice to an opponent before cashing in his contract.

=== 2007 ===
The third Money in the Bank ladder match was held at [[WrestleMania 23]], and was the first to involve eight participants from Raw, SmackDown!, and [[ECW (WWE brand)|ECW]]. Qualifying matches began on the February 19 episode of ''Raw''.<ref name="MITB Qual 07">{{cite web|first=Hunter|last=Golden|title=Raw Results – 2/19/07 – Bakersfield, CA (Two New Champions, More)|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/results/raw/raw2006/1171947487.shtml|access-date=September 5, 2008|date=February 19, 2007|publisher=Wrestleview.com}}</ref> On the February 19 episode of ''Raw'', two former Money in the Bank winners ([[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] and [[Rob Van Dam]]) faced off, with Edge earning a [[pin (professional wrestling)|pinfall]] win to earn the first spot in the match.<ref name="19Feb07 Raw">{{cite web|first=Brett|last=Hoffman|title=Chairman's Choice|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/02192007/|publisher=[[WWE]]|access-date=September 5, 2008|date=February 19, 2007}}</ref>

Punk won the WrestleMania XXIV 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 [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] who had him removed from the ring and then began to insult the crowd, saying that they would never get to see a world championship being defended on ''Raw'' (as at the time both Edge and [[WWE Championship|WWE Champion]] [[Triple H]] were members of the SmackDown brand and the [[ECW Championship]] was on the ECW brand after [[Mark Henry]] defeated then champion [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]] of the Raw brand and [[Big Show]] of the SmackDown brand at [[Night of Champions (2008)|Night of Champions]] in a triple threat match to win the title). When he was about to leave the arena, [[Dave Bautista|Batista]] came out and assaulted Edge in retaliation for Edge [[Heel (professional wrestling)|cheating]] to win their title match the previous night at [[Night of Champions (2008)|Night of Champions]]. Punk ran to the ring with a referee to cash in his contract, then performed a ''[[Professional wrestling attacks#Go 2 Sleep|Go to Sleep]]'' on Edge to win the World Heavyweight Championship, making it Raw-exclusive in the process.

At Money in the Bank, Kane won the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match. Kane later cashed it in the same night by defeating [[Rey Mysterio]] to win the World Heavyweight Championship. He also became the quickest man to cash in the briefcase. For Raw, [[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 The Miz to keep the briefcase on each occasion), The Miz finally cashed in his title opportunity on the November 22, 2010 episode of ''Raw'', immediately after Randy Orton successfully retained the WWE Championship against [[Wade Barrett]] in which [[The Nexus (professional wrestling)|The Nexus]] attacked Orton before the match and injured his right leg. The Miz defeated Orton to win his first WWE Championship.

=== 2011 ===
The [[2011 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on July 17 at the [[Allstate Arena]] in [[Rosemont, Illinois]]. Raw's [[Alberto Del Rio]] and SmackDown's [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]] won their respective brands' Money in the Bank ladder matches. At the end of the night, after [[CM Punk]] won the WWE Championship from [[John Cena]], [[Vince McMahon|Mr. McMahon]] ordered Del Rio to come in and attempt to cash in his briefcase against Punk, who had threatened to leave the company after the pay-per-view, as his contract was expiring. Del Rio came out to do so, but Punk attacked him and 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. Del Rio was able to cash in his briefcase and defeated CM Punk for the WWE Championship at the [[2011 SummerSlam]] event on August 14.

On the July 22, 2011, episode of ''SmackDown'', Bryan announced that he was going to cash his contract in at [[WrestleMania XXVIII]] in April 2012. On the November 25, 2011, episode of ''SmackDown'', Bryan cashed in on World Heavyweight Champion [[Mark Henry]], who had been knocked out by [[Big Show]]. Bryan got the pinfall victory and was awarded the championship, however SmackDown General Manager [[Theodore Long]] overruled the match due to Henry 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, Bryan was given the briefcase back and again reiterated that he planned on cashing in at WrestleMania XXVIII, although he was given a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Henry in a [[steel cage match]] on a live holiday-themed episode of ''SmackDown'' the following Tuesday, which Bryan lost. On December 18, at the [[2011 TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs]] event, after Big Show defeated Henry to win the World Heavyweight Championship, Henry attacked Big Show with a steel chair, allowing Bryan to cash in his briefcase on Big Show to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.

The [[2012 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on July 15 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, as both Raw and SmackDown by this time had become full roster "Supershows". Instead, they were separated by championships (WWE and World Heavyweight).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2012/0624/553776/ |title=WWE Changes Name Of The Money In The Bank Ladder Matches - WrestlingInc.com |website=www.wrestlinginc.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627091841/http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2012/0624/553776 |archive-date=2012-06-27}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|certain=y|date=May 2017}}

In the first match of the night, [[Dolph Ziggler]] defeated seven other competitors to win the World Heavyweight Championship match contract. All of the world title Money in the Bank competitors in world title ladder match also won qualifying matches. He attempted to cash it in that same night against [[Sheamus]] but was attacked before the referee could call for the bell so he retained his contract. On the August 20 episode of ''Raw'', Ziggler successfully defended his briefcase against Chris Jericho in career vs. contract match. As a result, Jericho was forced to leave WWE. On the December 3 episode of ''Raw'', managing supervisor [[Vickie Guerrero]] was forced by [[Vince McMahon|Mr. McMahon]] to make Cena and Ziggler's match at the [[2012 TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs]] event a [[ladder match]] for Ziggler's Money in the Bank contract. On December 16, at the event, he successfully defended the briefcase with help from [[AJ Lee]]. On April 8, 2013, an episode of ''Raw'', Ziggler cashed in his contract on World Heavyweight Champion [[Alberto Del Rio]], following Del Rio's handicap match win over [[Jack Swagger]] and [[Dutch Mantel|Zeb Colter]]. Ziggler defeated Del Rio to win his second World Heavyweight Championship following nearly nine months of holding the briefcase.

In the last match of 2012 event, [[John Cena]] defeated Kane, Big Show, The Miz, and Chris Jericho to win the WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase in his first Money in the Bank ladder match. A special stipulation had been added beforehand that only former WWE Champions could participate in the WWE Championship Money in the Bank ladder match for 2012. Cena won when the briefcase's handle snapped off while using it against Big Show, having previously blocked Show's KO Punch with it. On the July 16, 2012, episode of ''Raw'', Cena announced that he would cash his contract in the following week at ''[[Raw 1000]]''. He became only the second wrestler after Rob Van Dam to give prior notice to the opponent. At ''Raw 1000'', Cena failed to win the WWE title when Big Show interfered in the match, causing champion [[CM Punk]] to be disqualified and retain the title, as championships cannot change hands via disqualification unless otherwise stipulated. This made Cena the first Money in the Bank winner to fail to win a title.

=== 2013 ===
The [[2013 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on July 14 at the [[Wells Fargo Center (Philadelphia)|Wells Fargo Center]] in [[Philadelphia]]. There was the traditional two Money in the Bank ladder matches: one for a [[WWE Championship]] match contract and the other for a [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002–2013)|World Heavyweight Championship]] match contract. On the June 24, 2013, episode of ''Raw'', [[CM Punk]], [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]], [[Randy Orton]], [[Sheamus]], [[Christian Cage|Christian]], [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]], and [[Rob Van Dam]] were announced by WWE Chief Brand Officer [[Stephanie McMahon]] as the participants in the WWE Championship contract match. Kane was later removed after being injured due to an attack by [[The Wyatt Family]] on the July 8 episode of ''Raw''. Orton went on to win the contract at the event. At the [[2013 SummerSlam]] event on August 18, Orton cashed in his contract on WWE Champion Daniel Bryan, who had defeated John Cena to win the championship. Orton defeated Bryan to win his seventh WWE Championship, after WWE COO [[Triple H]], who was the special guest referee between Bryan and Cena, attacked Bryan with a [[Facebuster#Double underhook facebuster|Pedigree]], following five weeks of holding the briefcase.

At the tapings for ''[[SmackDown]]'' on June 25 (aired June 28), SmackDown Senior Advisor [[Theodore Long]] announced that the participants in the World Heavyweight Championship contract match would be [[WWE United States Champion]] [[Dean Ambrose]], [[Fandango (wrestler)|Fandango]], [[Cesaro (wrestler)|Antonio Cesaro]], [[Jack Swagger]], [[Wade Barrett]], [[Cody Rhodes]] and [[Damien Sandow]]. Sandow won the contract at the event. On the October 28, 2013, episode of ''Raw'', Sandow cashed in his contract on World Heavyweight Champion John Cena. Cena defeated Sandow, making Sandow the second wrestler to unsuccessfully cash in the contract and the first to lose a cash-in match via pinfall. At the [[2013 TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs]] event on December 15, the WWE and World Heavyweight championships were unified into the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

=== 2014 ===
The [[2014 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on June 29 at the [[TD Garden]] in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]]. The original plan for the event was that the winner of the ladder match would receive a contract for a match for the now unified title as normal. On June 9, defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]] was forced to vacate the title due to a neck injury, and the already announced ladder match consisting of [[John Cena]], [[Randy Orton]], [[Alberto Del Rio]], [[Bray Wyatt]], [[Cesaro (wrestler)|Cesaro]], [[Sheamus]], [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]], and [[Roman Reigns]] became for the vacant championship instead.

On the June 17 episode of ''[[WWE Main Event|Main Event]]'', [[Seth Rollins]] announced that in addition to the ladder match for the title, there would be a traditional Money in the Bank ladder match for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match contract at the event, and that Rollins would be the first entrant.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/videos/seth-rollins-makes-an-announcement-about-money-in-the-bank-wwe-mainb-event-june-1-26403400|title=Rollins announces MITB match – WWE.com}}</ref> Further entrants were [[Wade Barrett|Bad News Barrett]], [[Dolph Ziggler]], [[Rob Van Dam]], [[Jack Swagger]], [[Kofi Kingston]], and [[Dean Ambrose]]. The latter, who had threatened to disrupt the match, was added to the match on Rollins' request. Bad News Barrett was later removed from the match due to an injury.

Rollins won the match and the contract after Kane interfered on behalf of [[The Authority (professional wrestling)|The Authority]] and knocked Dean Ambrose off the ladder. He attempted to cash in the following night on new champion John Cena but was stopped from doing so by Ambrose. Rollins once again failed to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, this time against WWE World Heavyweight Champion [[Brock Lesnar]] at the [[2014 Night of Champions]] event in September, after attacking him with a [[Curb Stomp (professional wrestling)|Curb Stomp]]. This failed attempt to cash in came after Cena attacked Rollins, before the bell could be rung, due to Rollins costing him the championship minutes earlier.

At [[WrestleMania 31]] in March 2015, Rollins cashed in his briefcase during the main event championship match between defending champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Roman Reigns. By doing so, he turned the singles match between Lesnar and Reigns into a [[triple threat match]]. Rollins then proceeded to pin Reigns following a Curb Stomp and successfully captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As a result, Rollins set various records: he became the first person to cash in a contract while a championship match was in progress, he became the first person to cash in his briefcase at WrestleMania, and he became the first to win the championship without pinning the champion during the cash-in match.

=== 2015 ===
The [[2015 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on June 14 in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. [[Dolph Ziggler]], [[Sheamus]], [[Kofi Kingston]], [[Adrian Neville|Neville]], [[Roman Reigns]], [[Randy Orton]], and [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]] participated in the traditional Money in the Bank ladder match. Sheamus won the match and received a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match contract.

At the [[2015 Survivor Series]] event on November 22, Sheamus cashed in his contract by defeating Reigns, who had just won the vacant championship after defeating [[Dean Ambrose]] in the tournament finals.<ref name="SSeries">{{cite web|last1=Caldwell|first1=James|title=11/22 SURVIVOR SERIES RESULTS – Caldwell's Complete PPV Report|url=http://www.pwtorch.com/site/2015/11/22/1122-survivor-series-live-results-caldwells-ongoing-report/|publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch|access-date=November 22, 2015}}</ref>

=== 2016 ===
On June 19, the seventh annual [[Money in the Bank (2016)|Money in the Bank pay-per-view]] took place in [[Las Vegas]]. For the traditional Money in the Bank ladder match, [[Sami Zayn]], [[Kevin Owens]], [[Cesaro (wrestler)|Cesaro]], [[Chris Jericho]], [[Alberto Del Rio]], and [[Dean Ambrose]] all won their qualifying matches on the May 23 episode of ''Raw'' to become entrants into the match. Originally slated to be a 7-man ladder match, the seventh slot was later removed. Ambrose won the match and received a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match contract. After the conclusion of the main event, he successfully cashed in the contract on [[Seth Rollins]], who had just won the title from [[Roman Reigns]]. Ambrose was the second wrestler to cash in the contract on the same night as winning it. The night was also notable due to it making the stable [[The Shield (professional wrestling)|The Shield]] the first group in WWE history to be world champions on the same night.

The brand split was reinstated the following month.

[[File:Carmella MitB WM34.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Carmella (wrestler)|Carmella]] was the winner of the first women's Money in the Bank ladder match.]]
The [[2017 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on June 18 at the [[Scottrade Center]] in [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]] as an exclusive event for the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] brand. For the traditional ladder match, which had a contract for a match for SmackDown's WWE Championship (formerly WWE World Heavyweight Championship), SmackDown Commissioner [[Shane McMahon]] announced [[A.J. Styles|AJ Styles]], [[Shinsuke Nakamura]], [[Dolph Ziggler]], [[Sami Zayn]], and [[Baron Corbin]] as the original five participants. [[WWE United States Championship|United States Champion]] [[Kevin Owens]] was added after he convinced Shane to make him the sixth participant. [[Mojo Rawley]] had the opportunity to make it a seven-man match if he could defeat WWE Champion [[Jinder Mahal]], but failed to do so. At the event, Baron Corbin won the match and received a WWE Championship match contract. On the August 15, 2017 episode of ''SmackDown Live'', [[John Cena]] had a non-title match against WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. As Cena was pinning Mahal, Corbin attacked him, causing a disqualification. Corbin then cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Mahal, but as soon as the bell rung, he attacked Cena, who was on the apron, allowing Mahal to quickly roll-up Corbin for the win. This made Corbin the third wrestler to unsuccessfully cash in the contract and the second to lose a cash-in match.

On the May 30 episode of ''SmackDown Live'', another Money in the Bank ladder match was added to the event, and for the first time, involving women. [[Charlotte Flair]], [[Becky Lynch]], [[Natalya Neidhart|Natalya]], [[Carmella (wrestler)|Carmella]], and [[Tamina Snuka|Tamina]] were originally scheduled to compete in a fatal five-way elimination match on that night to determine the number one contender for the [[WWE SmackDown Women's Championship|SmackDown Women's Championship]] against [[Naomi (wrestler)|Naomi]] at Money in the Bank. Before their match could begin, a brawl broke out between the five and the match never occurred. SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon then scheduled the five to compete in the first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match at the event where the winner would receive a contract for a SmackDown Women's Championship match. Carmella won the match after [[James Ellsworth (wrestler)|James Ellsworth]] retrieved the briefcase, and threw it to her. On the following episode of ''SmackDown Live'', however, SmackDown General Manager [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]] forced Carmella to relinquish the briefcase since Ellsworth retrieved it for her.<ref>{{cite web|title=SmackDown LIVE results: June 20, 2017|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/2017-06-20#full-detail-40026252|publisher=WWE.com|access-date=27 June 2017}}</ref> On that same episode, Bryan also scheduled a Money in the Bank ladder match rematch for the June 27 episode with Ellsworth banned from ringside (later from the arena). That episode, Carmella, with some aid from the banned Ellsworth, retrieved the briefcase herself and reclaimed the SmackDown Women's Championship match contract.  On the April 10, 2018 episode of ''SmackDown Live'', after holding the contract for 287 days (the longest time any wrestler has held on to a Money in the Bank briefcase), Carmella cashed in and defeated Charlotte Flair—who had just suffered an attack from the debuting [[The IIconics]] ([[Peyton Royce]] and [[Billie Kay]])—for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

=== 2018 ===
The [[2018 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on June 17 at the [[Allstate Arena]] in the [[Chicago]] suburb of [[Rosemont, Illinois|Rosemont]], [[Illinois]].<ref>{{cite web|title=WWE Money in the Bank 2018 tickets available this Friday|url=http://www.wwe.com/article/money-in-the-bank-2018-tickets|publisher=WWE|date=March 5, 2018|access-date=May 7, 2018}}</ref> For the first time since 2011 with a brand split in effect, the event became dual-branded, involving both the Raw and SmackDown brands. The event included one male match and one female match with eight participants each, evenly divided between the brands. The contracts granted the winners a match for the world championship of their respective brand. The men's contract granted the winner a match for either Raw's [[WWE Universal Championship|Universal Championship]] or SmackDown's WWE Championship, while the women's contract granted the winner a [[WWE Women's Championship|Raw Women's Championship]] or SmackDown Women's Championship match.

Qualification matches for both ladder matches began on the May 7 episode of ''Raw''. For the men's match, [[Braun Strowman]], [[Finn Bálor]], [[Bobby Roode]], and [[Kevin Owens]] qualified from Raw, while [[The Miz]], [[Miro (wrestler)|Rusev]], a member of [[The New Day (professional wrestling)|The New Day]] (revealed to be [[Kofi Kingston]] at the event), and [[Samoa Joe]] qualified from SmackDown. Strowman would go on to win the ladder match and contract. During the ladder match, Strowman threw Owens off the top of a ladder and Owens crashed through a table. The two would then feud, leading to a match at [[SummerSlam (2018)|SummerSlam]] where Strowman defended his contract against Owens with the stipulation being that if Strowman lost by any means, he would lose the contract. Strowman, however, retained the contract. He would then become the third person to announce their cash-in match ahead of time. He first announced that he would cash-in on the winner of the SummerSlam main event match between defending Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, but during that match, he was incapacitated by Lesnar, and thus did not cash-in (this distraction would allow Reigns to defeat Lesnar for the title). He then announced that he would cash-in on new champion Roman Reigns at [[Hell in a Cell (2018)|Hell in a Cell]] in a [[Hell in a Cell]] match ([[Mick Foley]] was later added as the special guest referee). The match, however, ended in a no-contest after Lesnar appeared and laid out both men, rendering them unable to continue. Strowman became the fourth person to fail in gaining a championship in their cash-in match, and the first to fail by a no-contest ruling.

For the women's match, [[Ember Moon]], [[Alexa Bliss]], [[Natalya Neidhart|Natalya]], and [[Sasha Banks]] qualified from Raw, while [[Charlotte Flair]], [[Becky Lynch]], [[CJ Perry|Lana]], and [[Naomi (wrestler)|Naomi]] qualified from SmackDown. Bliss would win the ladder match and later that night, she would cause a disqualification in the Raw Women's Championship match between defending champion [[Nia Jax]] and [[Ronda Rousey]], and then cashed in the contract and defeated Jax to win the title, thus becoming the third wrestler (and first woman) to cash in her contract on the same night as winning it.

=== 2019 ===
The [[2019 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view took place on May 19 at the [[XL Center]] in [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]], [[Connecticut]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=WWE Money in the Bank 2019 tickets available now|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/moneyinthebank/2018/article/money-in-the-bank-2019-tickets|work=WWE|date=March 5, 2019|access-date=April 8, 2019}}</ref> Like the 2018 event, there was one male ladder match and one female ladder match with eight participants each, evenly divided between the Raw and SmackDown brands. Unlike 2018, however, the contracts granted the winners a match for the world championship of their choice. The men's contract granted the winner a match for either Raw's Universal Championship or SmackDown's WWE Championship, while the women's contract granted the winner a Raw Women's Championship or SmackDown Women's Championship match.

Raw's four participants for the men's match were announced by Alexa Bliss during her "A Moment of Bliss" segment on the April 29 episode of ''Raw'': Braun Strowman, [[Ricochet (wrestler)|Ricochet]], Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin.<ref name="Raw04292019">{{cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2019/04/29/4-29-wwe-raw-results-powells-review-of-alexa-bliss-revealing-raws-participants-in-the-money-in-the-bank-ladder-matches-the-build-to-mitb-continues/|title=4/29 WWE Raw Results: Powell's review of Alexa Bliss revealing Raw's participants in the Money in the Bank ladder matches, the build to MITB continues|date=April 29, 2019|last=Powell|first=Jason|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|access-date=April 30, 2019}}</ref> SmackDown's four participants were announced the following night on ''SmackDown'': [[Mustafa Ali (wrestler)|Ali]], Finn Bálor, [[Andrade Cien Almas|Andrade]], and Randy Orton.<ref name="SmackDown04302019">{{cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2019/04/30/4-30-wwe-smackdown-live-results-barnetts-review-of-becky-lynch-vs-bayley-in-a-non-title-match-kofi-kingston-addresses-being-attacked-by-kevin-owens-the-announcement-of-the-smackdown-money-in-the/|title=4/30 WWE Smackdown Live Results: Barnett's review of Becky Lynch vs. Bayley in a non-title match, Kofi Kingston addresses being attacked by Kevin Owens, the announcement of the Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match participants|date=April 30, 2019|last=Barnett|first=Jake|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|access-date=April 30, 2019}}</ref> Robert Roode (formerly [[Bobby Roode]]) had the chance to replace Ricochet in the ladder match if he could defeat Ricochet, but was unsuccessful,<ref name="Raw05062019">{{cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2019/05/06/5-6-wwe-raw-results-powells-review-of-roman-reigns-returning-to-raw-the-build-to-money-in-the-bank-continues/|title=5/6 WWE Raw Results: Powell's review of Roman Reigns returning to Raw, the build to Money in the Bank continues|date=May 6, 2019|last=Powell|first=Jason|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|access-date=May 6, 2019}}</ref> while [[Sami Zayn]], who was assisted by Corbin and McIntyre, defeated Strowman in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Falls Count Anywhere match|falls count anywhere match]] to take Strowman's spot.<ref name="Raw05132019">{{cite web|last=Powell|first=Jason|title=5/13 WWE Raw Results: Powell's review of Becky Lynch contract signing for matches with Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns on Miz TV, Ricochet vs. Baron Corbin, the final Raw push for Money in the Bank|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2019/05/13/5-13-wwe-raw-results-powells-review-of-becky-lynch-contract-signing-for-matches-with-lacey-evans-and-charlotte-flair-roman-reigns-on-miz-tv-ricochet-vs-baron-corbin-the-final-raw-push-for-money/|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|date=May 13, 2019|access-date=May 13, 2019}}</ref> During the event prior to the match, Zayn was attacked backstage and taken to a medical facility.

The [[2020 Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view aired on May 10.

The [[2022 Money in the Bank]] took place on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at the [[MGM Grand Garden Arena]] in the [[Las Vegas]] suburb of [[Paradise, Nevada]]; it was originally scheduled to be held at the city's [[Allegiant Stadium]]. The ladder matches were scheduled to feature seven participants with an uneven division between the brands; the men's match added an eighth, last minute entrant which evened out the brand division but the women's match had four participants from Raw and three from SmackDown.

Qualifying matches for the men's Money in the Bank ladder match began on the June 10 episode of ''SmackDown''.

The [[Money in the Bank (2023)|2023 Money in the Bank event]] took place on July 1 from [[The O2 Arena]] in [[London, England]], marking the first time the show ventured outside of the [[U.S.]]  The original plan was six participants in both the men's and women's ladder matches—three from each brand—but a wrestler with no brand affiliation was a late addition to the men's match, giving it seven entrants.

Qualifying matches began on the May 29 episode of ''Raw'', with [[Ricochet (wrestler)|Ricochet]] defeating [[The Miz]] and [[Shinsuke Nakamura]] defeating [[Bronson Reed]] to become the first entrants in the men's ladder match. On the June 2 episode of ''SmackDown'', [[LA Knight]] defeated [[Montez Ford]] to gain entry into the men's match, while [[Zelina Vega]] defeated [[Lacey Evans]] to become the first qualifier for the women's ladder match.

Priest would go on to win the men's match, while Sky won the women's match.

The [[Money in the Bank (2024)|2024 Money in the Bank]] event took place on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at the [[Scotiabank Arena]] in [[Toronto, Ontario]], marking the first Money in the Bank to be held in Canada and the second to be held outside of the United States, after the 2023 event. The show was promoted as being part of a three-night "Money in the Bank Weekend" event, with the July 5 episode of ''SmackDown'' and [[NXT (WWE brand)|NXT]]'s July 7 livestreaming show [[NXT Heatwave (2024)|Heatwave]] also being held at the same venue. The 2024 ladder matches had six participants each, evenly divided between the Raw and SmackDown brands.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Carey |first1=Ian |title=WWE Money in the Bank 2024 announced for Toronto |url=https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/wwe-money-in-the-bank-2024-announced-for-toronto |work=[[Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online]] |access-date=January 4, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240104161421/https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/wwe-money-in-the-bank-2024-announced-for-toronto |archive-date=January 4, 2024 |date=January 4, 2024}}</ref> All of the qualifiers for the two Money in the Bank ladder matches were triple threat matches, which began on the June 17 episode of ''Raw'' and were held across subsequent episodes of ''Raw'' and ''SmackDown''.

On the men's side, [[Jey Uso]] won Raw's first spot by defeating [[Finn Bálor]] and [[Rey Mysterio]] on June 17, with [[Chad Gable]] getting the second spot by defeating [[Braun Strowman]] and [[Bronson Reed]] on June 24.<ref name="Raw06172024"/> Drew McIntyre won the final Raw spot by defeating Sheamus and [[Ilja Dragunov]] on the July 1 episode of ''Raw''. For SmackDown, the first two spots were claimed on the June 21 episode, with [[Carmelo Hayes]] defeating [[Randy Orton]] and [[Tama Tonga]], and [[Andrade El Idolo|Andrade]] defeating [[Kevin Owens]] and [[Grayson Waller]]. The third and final SmackDown spot was filled on the June 28 episode, as [[LA Knight]] defeated [[Logan Paul]] and [[Santos Escobar]]. At the event on July 6, Drew McIntyre would go on to win the men's match, and later that night, McIntyre cashed in his contract during the World Heavyweight Championship match, where reigning champion Damian Priest was defending the title against Seth "Freakin" Rollins, turning it into a triple threat match, but McIntyre was pinned by Priest due to an attack from CM Punk. This marked the first time someone cashed in their contract on the person who had cashed in on them for the same title.
