9. Has Money In The Bank Hurt Title Wins?

From @C17Swampy: Has Money In The Bank ruined some "first time" world championship moments? It seems that's the only way a young guy wins it.
It's a very good question with a valid point. Since Money in the Bank became a fixture in WWE in 2005 it has led to a lot of first timers winning their first major titles. It happened for guys like Edge, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan among others. Due to that, it did take the importance of when they won it in a legit way. While it isn't that farfetched to blame Money in the Bank for things like that, the positive aspects of the briefcase far outweigh the negatives. It's a great concept that has done well in terms of creating memorable moments both as a match itself and when somebody cashes in the briefcase. It would be nice if WWE had other things like Money in the Bank that had the same kind of unpredictability. It's one of the best match concepts they've thought of in the last decade.
