The Money in the Bank concept has taken the WWE by storm since its inception at WrestleMania 21 back in 2005 to the point where the match even got its own pay-per-view.
And since the Money In The Bank pay-per-view debuted in 2010, the WWE universe has been treated with some of the most memorable moments in modern WWE history and in some cases, all of WWE history.
These ladder matches push the envelope like nothing before and have led to countless career breakthroughs for the lucky winners. But which moments stand out above the rest? Let’s take a look at the 10 best Money In The Bank pay-per-view moments since its inception in 2010.
10. Kofi Kingston’s Boom Drop On Drew McIntyre Through Announce Table: July 18, 2010
The Money in the Bank ladder match had five years of success and memorable moments by the year 2010. So much success that it would have its own pay-per-view of the same name that was formed in 2010 after the final Money in the Bank ladder match at a WrestleMania at WrestleMania 26.
The first Money in the Bank ladder match in the Money In The Bank pay-per-view era was for the right to earn a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity. The match featured Kane, The Big Show, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Kofi Kingston, and Matt Hardy with the winner looking for a career breakthrough.
As expected, the action was tremendous in this match. It was everything you would expect out of a Money in the Bank ladder match, but the most memorable spot of the entire match came courtesy of Kingston. With McIntyre laid out on an announce table, Kingston climbed a ladder and made sure he took McIntyre out of the equation.
Kingston hit McIntyre with the biggest boom drop of his career, plummeting onto McIntyre all the way to the floor. The now New Day star has made a living out of insane Royal Rumble match saves, but this was one of the most memorable moments of his career and still holds up to this very day.
Although Kingston didn’t win this ladder match, he left a huge mark on the match and it results in one of the greatest moments in Money In The Bank pay-per-view history.
