With the obvious exception of The Royal Rumble, there probably isn’t any stipulation match that generates more excitement and speculation amongst WWE fans than Money In The Bank. And with good reason. The match itself is, more often than not, must-watch entertainment filled with fast-paced action and high spots. I would watch it if it was for nothing but bragging rights on a random episode of Raw, but throw in the fact that the winner gets a title shot that can be cashed in on any champion at any time and the combined result is one of the best matches WWE puts on all year, as well as one of the most argued about.
Wrestling fans can and will argue about anything. Yelling at your friends about some nonsense is half the point of watching it, but unlike most of the nonsense we go back-and-forth about, who wins Money In The Bank is actually worth arguing about. The winner typically gets a massive push almost immediately and apart from a handful of notable exceptions, almost always wins a major title. So, arguing about who wins Money In The Bank isn’t just arguing about who gets their hand raised at the end. It’s arguing about which of the participants should get an increased role moving forward.
