Last night on WWE Monday Night RAW, history was made. However, it wasn't exactly a historical achievement to be proud of. This is truly because something happened that's only ever been done once before - a WWE superstar cashed in the money in the bank briefcase and FAILED to win the championship. Yes, Damien Sandow cashed in the Money In The Bank contract on the newly-crowned World Heavyweight Champion John Cena after interrupting his celebration promo. Targeting the injured bad arm of Cena, he attacked him and left him vulnerable for a money in the bank cash-in. It seemed to be set in stone, like many others have done before him, that Sandow would take advantage of the vulnerable champion and win the World Title. However, John Cena had better ideas and overcame the odds as only John Cena knows how and retained his championship. This made Damien Sandow the second the man ever to cash in the briefcase and fail to win the championship. The first man ironically being? John Cena. Now allow me to accurately pin-point the reactions of about 90% of the internet fan-base right now... "Curse you WWE! You screwed Damien Sandow! Super Cena strikes again! I'll never watch WWE again!" Yeah, that is pretty much the thought-process of 90% of wrestling internet fans right now. They feel that Damien shouldn't have been subjected to carrying the burden of cashing in his money in the bank contract and losing. They think they buried Damien Sandow by having him lose so easily to an injured Cena and, to be honest, they have a little bit of a point. The fact that Sandow attacked an already injured Cena, cashed in and lost does hurt his credibility when he was incapable of putting away an injured champion. I mean it hardly seemed like a dignifying loss for Sandow. At least when John Cena cashed in Money In The Bank last year and lost, he put up a good fight doing so and was only unable to win the title because of a disqualification. Sandow was flat-out beat by an injured champion. I mean, how does Sandow look a formidable opponent now, after a defeat like this? Could he possibly comeback and a be a big star after a match like this? The simple answer is yes. I could name several superstars that had to have an embarrassingly big defeat before becoming huge megastars. Triple H - was decimated by the Ultimate Warrior in 1996 and look at what a legend he's become. Daniel Bryan - lost in 18 seconds to Sheamus in 2012 and now is arguably the biggest face in the business right now. I could keep going on, but the fact remains is them superstars had to take an embarrassing defeat and became stars, and that is perhaps what this loss will do for Sandow. Heck, Mick Foley came out on Twitter right after the failed cash-in happened and said this was the "dawning of the age of Sandow". And you know what, Foley is probably right. Also, what was good about the failed cash-in was that nobody expected it. We have these safe assumptions that every up-and-coming superstar that wins the briefcase will automatically win the title. It happened to Edge, it happened to CM Punk, it happened to Dolph Ziggler, it happened to Alberto Del Rio. It's been pretty much a formality for them guys to ascend to main event status. But here, Sandow lost. It opens up the possibility now that not everyone that wins the briefcases now will automatically win the title. There's now that possibility that they'll mess up the cash-in and fail to win the title. And that's good, because we need a lot more unpredictability in WWE nowadays. If Sandow had to take the bullet to get people shocked then so be it. Besides, Sandow wasn't really in a strong position to win the World Title anyway. I mean Dolph Ziggler had 9 months of building himself up to win that World Title. He feuded with likes of Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and actually beat John Cena. That's how you build up someone holding the money in the bank briefcase, whether they cash it in successfully or not. How you don't build them up is having them on two consecutive PPV pre-show matches in matches thrown together at the last minute. Sure, if they held off the cash-in, that problem could have been fixed, but the fact is they didn't. If they were planning on Sandow to cash in at this time all along, they should have at least built him up proper. I'm not saying that I'm excited for the FOURTEENTH world title reign for John Cena and that I'd prefer Cena as champion over Sandow or the former champion Alberto Del Rio, but a wrestler's legacy is not purely judged on how much gold he obtains. John Cena, at the end of the day, will not be remembered for the fact that he was a 14 time world champion. And it's not judged on a singular embarrassing moment. Triple H certainly isn't remembered for being decimated by the Ultimate Warrior in 3 minutes. In fact, them moments can catapult someone into greatness. So the fact that Damien has this moment that he'll be remembered for a great deal in the short term will be pivotal to his rise to greatness in the long term.
