Time With Contract Before Cash-In: 5 Days

Jack Swagger's Money In The Bank cash-in is probably the best in wrestling history if you're Jake Hager, but not because it took him to the top of the mountain in WWE or cemented him as a wrestling megastar.

It brought him into Chris Jericho's orbit.

Swagger had barely finished unhooking the briefcase at WrestleMania 26 before the following week's SmackDown started and an injured 'Y2J' was easy prey. Winning the cursed his earnestly dumb character - he was asked to play everything incredibly seriously and couldn't quite pull it off at the time - but he did at least get the reign in while Vince McMahon still liked him. And the more powerful friend hie made after the fact ensured he'd be employed over a decade later.
