5 Ways WWE Use Money In The Bank Terribly

5. Helping John Cena Look Strong

Over the years, WWE have come up against criticism countless times for putting over ‘Super Cena’.

This is no different when it comes to Money In The Bank.

It has been used to protect Cena when he loses, make him look strong with failed cash-ins and protect him as the ultimate good guy when cashing-in.

‘The Leader of Cenation’ has been involved in five cash-ins. The very first cash-in Edge took advantage and won the title from 'The Champ', sheltering him from losing clean.

Number two was Rob Van Dam; ‘The Prototype’ lost but through interference from Edge who speared the ‘Babe Ruth of WWE’.

Cena then won MITB in 2012, announcing he was going to cash-in on Raw 1000 against CM Punk. Once again, interference cost John his chance at claiming the title. Big Show had attacked and the match was thrown out.

The next year we saw Damien Sandow lose his cash-in to a one-armed champ. This is the one that hurt the most, completely ruining all momentum ‘The Intellectual Saviour Of The Masses’ ever had.

The 15-time WWE World Champion was lastly involved in Baron Corbin’s cash-in on Jinder Mahal, which ‘The Lone Wolf’ failed to capitalise on. Corbin interrupted Cena vs. Mahal to cash-in, and John responded in kind. This helped 'The Chain Gang Soldier' lose his title opportunity, without actually losing.

Every single one of these maintained the Superman-like aura for the ‘Doctor of Thuganomics’.

Now with John busy in Hollywood, has someone else taken over the Reigns? Maybe ask Braun Strowman...
