10 WWE Money In The Bank Firsts

Can you name the first match where a MITB winner put his briefcase on the line? Find out...

When the seven competitors in this year€™s Money in the Bank ladder match step into the ring at Sunday€™s PPV, they will be stepping into history. This year is the 10th anniversary of the MITB ladder match in WWE, and the 16th MITB match since its inception. During the past decade, we have seen some unreal moments, whether it€™s in the Money in the Bank match itself or in the act of cashing in the briefcase for a title shot. Money in the Bank has become an integral part of WWE. Many storylines have been focused on the briefcase, and several characters have been defined by how they carried and ultimately used the briefcase. Given all the history that has happened during the past decade, it€™s only fitting to take a look back at some of the firsts involving the Money In the Bank ladder match, the briefcase and the men who have won it. While some of these shouldn€™t come as a shock to many, there are some firsts that might cause people to take notice of who could win the briefcase on Sunday. So let€™s see what helped break the mold for WWE€™s summer tradition (no, not SummerFest) and what became so popular that others followed suit.
