Every WWE Money In The Bank Winner Ranked From Worst To Best
For when a golden ticket becomes a silver medal, and EVERYTHING in between.
When Andre The Giant first teased the heel turn he was about to spring on Hulk Hogan, he did so by placing his giant hand towards the WWE Champion and simply noted how three years was a long time.
He wasn't wrong, and nor was his intent alongside new manager Bobby Heenan. The two had colluded to try and stun 'The Hulkster' into shock so they could bring that three years crashing down so hard that it'd hurt inside. Three years was a lifetime in 1987, and that was how tough it was to even get near a title shot at the singular pay-per-view event in the calendar.
By comparison, Money In The Bank is the reflection of modernisation. Instant gratification promised through surviving but one gruelling battle. A shortcut to the very top taken by the vast number of people invited to try the route, and it's that we've been made to look on at for nearly twenty years to ensure that a title tyranny quite like Hogan's simply wouldn't stand in the modern age.
Or wouldn't had it not been for Roman Reigns' post-2020 rebirth as 'The Tribal Chief' anyway. Which perhaps explains a couple of the early mishaps in this list...
28. Otis
Time With Contract: 168 Days
Count the terrible things attached to Otis' cursed time with the Money In The Bank contract.
He "won" the thing by accident when AJ Styles was too much of a klutz to hold on to it at the climax of one of the worst matches in company history. 2020's cinematic variant was a risible and artless failure, much like Otis' actual run when the creative team lost interest long before they'd considered how the Heavy Machinery man might actually benefit from it.
RIP to that tag team too - Tucker turned heel on his partner to rip the prize away before Otis even found the time to turn funny into money. After several months of barely any teasing or direction, the future Alpha Academy man lost his best friend and his briefcase in a match against The Miz, and has been nowhere near singles glory since.
