11 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Money In The Bank

11. Fallow February

10 Best WWE Money In The Bank Cash-Ins Ever

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.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
