WWE Money In The Bank 2017 - 10 Things That Must Happen Tonight!
8. A Heel Money In The Bank Winner
Last year’s Money in the Bank show saw Dean Ambrose, a babyface, take home the coveted briefcase. Except, he didn’t really take it home, because he cashed it in that very same night to win the WWE title.
It can be tricky to pull off a babyface cash-in, given the predatory nature of it all, but since Seth Rollins was the victim of the cash-in—the same Rollins who’d betrayed Ambrose when The Shield disbanded—Ambrose’s actions were forgivable.
