#1 Ladder match environment

One way to easily create excitement about any match is to add a tantalising stipulation. And ladder matches are always sure to capture fans enthusiasm.

Money in the Bank at one point became a staple of Wrestlemania and was a bout that fans always looked forward too. The last time we saw a ladder match at mania was at Wrestlemania 26 when we witnessed the last ever mania mitb (won by Jack Swagger) before it moved to its own PPV. Also another quick note, the last time we even saw the IC title defended on the main card was at Wrestlemania 28 (Big Show defeated Cody Rhodes) and before that it was Wrestlemania 25 (JBL lost in under a minute to Rey Mysterio, before announcing that he quit).

Late last year we witnessed Harper v Ziggler (who are both a part of the mania bout) in an amazing ladder match for the IC title which stole the show at TLC. This multi man ladder match looks once again set to steal the show, this time at the biggest event of the year.
