Every WWE Money In The Bank Winner Ranked Worst to Best

I know what you’re thinking. Daniel Bryan? He was only World Heavyweight Champion for a few months! He lost it to Sheamus in 18 seconds! 18 seconds!

Yes, this is true. Daniel Bryan’s reign as WHC, after he cashed-in on Big Show, was fairly insignificant, and he looked like a complete goof losing to Sheamus in 18 seconds at WrestleMania.

But what event do most fans credit for the birth of the Yes Movement? That’s right, 18 seconds.

Remember: this list ranks how the Money in the Bank briefcase affects the long-term trajectory of someone’s career. Without that briefcase, without that title reign, without 18 seconds, would there have been a Yes Movement?

Yes? No? Maybe so? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that because of that briefcase, Daniel Bryan was able to go into WrestleMania 28 as WHC and look like a complete jackass, which sparked a fan revolt in the form of the Yes chant, which helped Daniel Bryan’s ascent as the most beloved WWE wrestler in the last decade. That is why he is #2 on this list.
