10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Money In The Bank

9. The MITB Match Was Better Than The World Title Match (2014)

Even though the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship were unified in 2013, 2014's Money in the Bank PPV still had two ladder matches - one for the briefcase, and one for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Daniel Bryan had to vacate.

Both were star-studded affairs. The title match was an eight-way bout featuring John Cena, Kane, Roman Reigns, Cesaro, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, and Sheamus, while the MITB match was a six-way featuring Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Rob Van Dam, and Jack Swagger.

Even though WWE typically tries to make sure that its main events are the most memorable matches on its shows, at Money in the Bank 2014, the so-called "undercard" workers completely outdid the guys who went on last. Not only was there an ongoing storyline between Rollins (who had recently turned his back on The Shield) and Ambrose, but Kingston went above and beyond, making the match a classic.

While the main event (which saw John Cena win his 15th and most recent world title) was also good, there was no question as to which match was better.
