10 Quickest WWE Money In The Bank Cash-Ins
6. Alberto Del Rio (2011) – 28 Days
Alberto Del Rio very nearly threatened to be the quickest cash-in in 2011, when he won the WWE Championship MITB briefcase and then was ordered by Mr. McMahon to cash it in the same night.
CM Punk had managed to best John Cena for the title as his contract was expiring, and Vince was aghast at the idea of his promotion’s main title walking out of the company.
Del Rio sprinted to ringside, but destiny was not on his side, as a kick to the head leveled him and allowed Punk to escape Chicago – and WWE – with his newly won title. Mexico’s greatest export would get a modicum of revenge four weeks later, when he used the briefcase to take advantage of a groggy Punk (courtesy of a Kevin Nash powerbomb). Del Rio, Cena and Punk would battle during the next three months, from which Punk would emerge with the strap and embark on a 434-day title reign.
But if Del Rio hadn’t successfully cashed in – which led to the title-trading that fall – Punk’s lengthy title reign might have been 120-some days longer.
