10 Quietly Brilliant WWE PPVs

10. WWE Money In The Bank 2012

In 2016, WWE, determined to erase CM Punk's memorable first WWE Heavyweight Title win at Money In The Bank 2011 from history, quite transparently billed that year's Money In The Bank as the best in the event's history.

The problem WWE faced is that event is the best it ever presented, outside of the peerless WrestleMania X-Seven. It would have been worth the money even if, like Armageddon 2000, it was a one-match show. But it wasn't. Featuring the best of Randy Orton and Christian's gripping rivalry, and two good (and different) Money In The Bank stunt shows, it was an unfortunately-retconned sensation - so good that it spoiled fans on future iterations.

The 2012 event couldn't match it - but it was very, very good. Better than most expected. The MITB field of John Cena, Chris Jericho, The Miz, Kane and The Big Show was probably the least appetising ever assembled - the latter two men were too massive to even climb a ladder - but the story-driven approach their match took was a welcome departure from the kamikaze mission Dolph Ziggler piloted in the stellar World Heavyweight Title counterpart.

Even better was the WWE Title bout between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk - a more suspenseful, brutal and epic No Disqualification sequel to their no-frills technical masterclass at that year's Over The Limit.
