Here's the first of several Money In The Bank cash-ins on this list.

Fresh off winning the briefcase earlier that year, The Miz waltzed into frame on the 22 November 2010 episode of Raw and beat Randy Orton to become the new WWE Champion; it's worth noting that Orton's match with Wade Barrett beforehand only went around four minutes. Keep that in mind.

As the announcers cried foul over Randy already wrestling a match (a short one), Miz sneaked his way to glory and looked proud as punch afterwards. This win was the culmination of a years-long redemption story for someone who had once been so unwelcome in WWE's locker room that he got dressed in arena hallways.

Less than three minutes after the bell sounded on Raw though, he was holding WWE's most valuable belt. That had to feel damn good, even if the thing was more like a child's toy than a prestigious sports championship at that point in time.
