Since the initiation of the concept back in ’05, the Money in the Bank match has become a valuable opportunity where the upcoming talents get a shot at glory, by getting the briefcase and cashing it in at a point when the champion is in his most vulnerable situation.

Money in the Bank matches have delivered in the past, and there is little doubt in the fans’ minds that this year’s edition of Money in the Bank PPV will live up to its hype. With ‘Mr. Monday Night’ Rob Van Dam returning at the PPV, this year’s edition of Money in the Bank PPV looks all set to be a night that the fans won’t forget. So without further ado, let us look at the top 5 Money in the Bank moments.

5. Dolph Ziggler wins the Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match in 2012

For a couple of years now, Dolph Ziggler is seen as someone who is kept on the side burner for no apparent reason. Most of the WWE Universe as well as the Internet Wrestling Community has been clamoring for Dolph Ziggler to be the face of the company, and that escalated after Ziggler put Ryder over at the tail end of ’11.

When Ziggler dropped the US title to Ryder, people thought that would be the time for Ziggler to be pushed into the main event scene for the WWE/World title. So when Ziggler won the Smackdown MitB match last year, people were overjoyed, and this was seen as one of the biggest wins in the history of the Money in the Bank match.

Sure enough, Ziggler cashed it in on Alberto Del Rio on the RAW post WrestleMania, and won the World Heavyweight Championship, and is currently involved in a feud with Del Rio for the title.
