Money in the Bank invaded Columbus, Ohio last night and gave the people quite a good show. There were plenty of unexpected surprises and the two biggest singles matches on the card more than delivered. Both Cena vs. Owens and Rollins vs. Ambrose were incredibly good.

The Money in the Bank briefcase winner was surprising as most people assumed that a certain former Shield member was going to win it. He did not. Several other matches were hard to call as WWE genuinely threw a few curve balls in regards to the winners of the night. The surprises kept the undercard from being predictable, so it was good.

There was only one title change of the night as the Prime Time Players captured their first tag team titles. That was a big win for them. There were many other big wins and this article counts down the biggest winners of the show.

Not everyone that follows actually won a match, though. Kevin Owens lost and Bray Wyatt wasn't even officially in a match but they both found their way onto this list. Both competitors still walked away with with an advantage on their foes so they deserved their spots.

The following 9 wrestlers are the biggest winners of the 2015 Money in the Bank event...

9. R-Truth

Who saw this one coming? It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Barrett would get a victory against R-Truth but lo and behold, Truth won. It's like WWE doesn't want King of the Ring to mean anything. Seriously, why immediately bury the winner of a tournament with such history?

In hindsight, it really shouldn't of been that big of a shocker. Barrett is always booked poorly and it was just last month that he was eliminated first from the Elimination Chamber by R-Truth. 

Not sure where Barrett goes from here but surely it can't be lower. As for Truth, kudos to him for beating the 2015 King of the Ring winner. Maybe he can use this momentum for a Intercontinental Championship challenge or at least a somewhat competitive answer to John Cena's U.S. Open Challenge.
