5. WrestleMania 22 Money In The Bank Match
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUFQ19gZhVk Participants: Finlay, Shelton Benjamin, Ric Flair, Matt Hardy, Rob Van Dam and Bobby Lashley. Although the match had six wrestlers, it still came to play as one of the top-five best Money in the Bank matches according to this list. The picture above sets the scene as Van Dam went on to defeat John Cena at ECW One Night Stand to become the new WWE champion. Benjamin and RVD took care of the high-flying antics to make this bout a one to not turn a head away from. Flair added that veteran presence and honestly, impressed many people with his performance. For example, Benjamin ran up a ladder that was set up against the ropes and did a shooting star press onto the other participants. Also, Flair took a superplex off the top of a ladder from Hardy. Everyone was trying to steal the show that night. With the physicality that Lashley and Finlay brought to the table, it was the perfect blend of extreme with ruthless aggression. It was the second MITB ladder match in history. The first-ever MITB ladder match is still to come on this list.
