11 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Money In The Bank
11. Fallow February
WWE likes to cover its bases. This is a company that hands out title reigns in order to shape its history books to its own liking, a wrestling promotion that has a liberal way of viewing history. With that in mind, it is only a matter of time before a Money in the Bank briefcase winner decides to cash in during the second month of the year.
Because it has never happened. The match concept has been around for a whopping 15 years, but at no point during that time has someone cashed-in during February. There are plenty of reasons why this is the case, proximity to WrestleMania, the general creative holding-period that WWE puts itself in ahead of the biggest show of the year, maybe even a romantic feeling of relent across the roster, but WWE has somehow managed to hold off on a February cash-in. It is just a matter of time.
The most popular month for cash-ins? That’ll be June, with four. Three out of the first five cash-ins happened in June, with CM Punk choosing the middle of the year on two straight occasions (Edge was the other). Another seven years passed before another June cash-in when Dean Ambrose quashed Seth Rollins to win his first WWE World Championship.
