It's fun to look back at shows in which you see tomorrow's stars in their more formative years. WWE had for too long been relying on guys that had been built in bygone eras (hell, the two World title matches here feature five men that were stars in the Attitude Era), so when a wave of the future comes along, it's a palate cleanser.

Take The Miz's team, in which all five men would hold a recognized World Championship within the next six years or so. Sheamus was first, capturing the WWE Championship the following month, while (surprisingly) Jack Swagger followed him shortly after WrestleMania XXVI. The Miz cashed in his briefcase to become champion right after Survivor Series 2010, and Dolph Ziggler cashed in the night after WrestleMania XXIX. Drew McIntyre completed the quintet by becoming TNA World Champion in February 2016.

Bonus note: every one of the five except for McIntyre successfully cashed in a Money in the Bank briefcase to become a World champion at some point.
