10 Useless Pieces Of Wrestling Trivia You Still NEED To Know
4. If The Money In The Bank Briefcase Was Won At 'Mania, Edge Was Inevitably Involved
Is there a wrestler out there more synonymous with the briefcase often found dangling up high above a WWE ring than the 'Rated R' ladder specialist?
Edge wasn't just responsible for some of the more memorable or shocking cash-ins in Money in the Bank history, though, he was actually surprisingly involved in pretty much every cash-in during that first wave of chaos.
It was simple, if the contract was won at WrestleMania, Edge would inevitably find himself in and around the eventual title match.
He obviously cashed in the first-ever contract at New Year's Revolution 2006. He'd then beat Mr. Kennedy for the contract post-WrestleMania 23 and cash it in on The Undertaker in 2007.
In the subsequent years where he didn't end up holding the case, Edge also speared John Cena through a table at One Night Stand 2006 to help Mr. MITB Rob Van Dam lift the big one, was cashed in on by CM Punk in 2008, lost his big gold belt to Jeff Hardy before Punk once again ran out with the contract in 2009, and attacked Chris Jericho right before Jack Swagger strutted out with his MITB prize.
That first Money in the Bank era had Adam Copeland's fingerprints all over it.
