How To Make Money In The Bank Briefcase

Of all the gimmick matches in the WWE, maybe the most-loved recent(ish) addition is the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Invented by Chris Jericho, the concept is simple but brilliant. A ladder match with a twist. Instead of having a title hanging over the ring, there's a briefcase.

And in the briefcase? A contract for a title match that you can cash-in any time you like over the next 365 days.

It's (almost) as good as a title itself, as with the choice of when you cash in you've got the biggest possible advantage against the current titleholder.

And for the fans it's much more fun than just winning the title outright, as that briefcase can act like the ultimate Chekhov's gun to keep the WWE Universe on its toes until it's cashed in.

July 2021 gave us two MITB matches in front of a loud and live audience as lockdown finally eased.
