Deftly jumping backwards to safety, Seth Rollins turned a Roman Reigns Spear into a Pedigree during Money In The Bank's main event. Going well over 20 minutes, Rollins and Reigns didn't disappoint with their headline clash over the WWE World Heavyweight Title. That spot was just one awesome moment in a night full of them.

Naturally, the Money In The Bank Ladder Match itself swallowed up a fair few places on this list, but that was to be expected. Even on his podcast, Chris Jericho spoke of looking to do some interesting things with the 6-man encounter, and that was certainly achieved under the bright Las Vegas lights.

If that multi-man fray hit a home run, so did the big fight feel prevalent when John Cena and AJ Styles stared keenly across the ring at one another. It's notable to mention that fans inside the arena came alive when seeing both guys ready to collide, even before the bell had started ringing.

These were all moments which could accurately be dubbed awesome, but they weren't alone. Let's look at the most memorable from this year's Money In The Bank...

10. Big E Compares The Vaudevillains To Monopoly

It's hardly a secret that The New Day are entertaining, such a remark should actually win 'Captain Obvious' glances from those within earshot. What makes the team so utterly brilliant however is their consistency, it seems a show can't whizz past without Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods proving why they deserve to be WWE Tag-Team Champions.

As they were defending champs, New Day were the last to emerge for the Fatal-4-Way at Money In The Bank. In their usual jovial fashion, the trio instantly decided to run down all of their challengers, starting with Star Wars comparisons for Enzo Amore and Big Cass.

Before male pattern baldness remarks could be made about Luke Gallows and Anderson, Big E raised chuckles when he compared The Vaudevillains to 'Monopoly men'. Naturally, this was a not-so-subtle nod to their facial hair and general old-fashioned look.

Particularly delightful was when Big E referenced the timeless board game, bringing up the old 'pass go and collect £/$200' idea. Infuriated, Simon Gotch and Aiden English sold the moment beautifully, only adding to it.
