One of the more infamous cash-ins had to come in 2010 at the first Money in the Bank PPV, when Kane won the Smackdown briefcase for a World Heavyweight Championship match. The Big Red Monster was getting a resurgent push as a top heel, so it promised to be interesting to see how he would torment the world champion before cashing in. It turns out fans didnt have to wait long. About an hour later, World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio fended off a challenge from Jack Swagger that left him hobbled. Kanes pyro hit and he stalked to the ring, promptly cashing in and quickly defeating Mysterio for the WHC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPC7Y89UZT8 Considering that Kanes other world title reign lasted only one day (back in 1998), this 154-day reign seemed more of a fitting thank you for his years of service to WWE.
