Now we can clearly go back and see this as the beginning of the end for Damien Sandow. The Intellectual Saviour of the Masses was in possession of the Money in the Bank briefcase, and with typical evil genius he seemed to have timed his cash-in to perfection.

Cena had defeated Alberto Del Rio the night before, but was recent surgery on his arm had left him a wounded animal.

Sandow targeted the arm, viciously attacking Cena before cashing in leaving John a wreck, a carcass waiting to be ripped apart. Sandow cashed-in the briefcase, faced only with an extremely vulnerable and essentially one-armed champion.

Instead of giving Sandow the win and the championship, Cena came out on top, defeating the future Mizdow with just one arm. Cena would go on to face Randy Orton in a big unification match a few weeks later, but this is no excuse. With one arm and dealing with injuries from the night before, Sandow should have defeated Cena here.

Cena would have reclaimed his World Heavyweight Championship the next week, and neither man would have lost anything in the process. As it was, this represented the beginning of the end for Damien Sandow.
