There's no better way to set the tone for Money In The Bank than by opening the pay-per-view portion with the titular contest. After the familiar fireworks and hyperbolic welcomes had died down, hearing the music of Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens would immediately cause fans to pay attention from the off.

Contrast that to the idea of something like Rusev vs. Titus O'Neil kicking things off, and it becomes clear that Money In The Bank is the best choice. There's also a chance that WWE will pick the Fatal-4-Way WWE Tag-Team Title clash to start proceedings, but even that wouldn't provide the same excitement as the ladder-based fray.

Book-ending the pay-per-view with Money In The Bank and Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins just seems smart. Those matches, along with AJ Styles vs. John Cena, are the main draws for the show, so they must be spread out evenly.

As valid as all of the other matches are, they're merely supporting acts to Money In The Bank, the WWE World Heavyweight Title situation and Cena vs. Styles.
