Let’s be honest, a title match in professional wrestling can be predictable. But introduce a briefcase, a contract, and the element of surprise, and suddenly, all bets are off. This Sunday, A&E’s “WWE’s Greatest Moments” revisits the heart-stopping, often infuriating history of “Money in the Bank” cash-ins. For the uninitiated, “Money in the Bank” is a unique concept where Superstars battle for a briefcase containing a contract granting them a championship title opportunity at any time, any place. This inherent unpredictability has led to some of the most memorable, and controversial, moments in WWE history.
Hosted by the voice of WWE, Michael Cole, “Money in the Bank Cash-Ins” looks back at the good, the bad, and the downright shocking. The episode features Superstars like Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Seth Rollins, each sharing their personal experiences with the cash-in, whether they were on the giving or receiving end. Expect stories of triumph, betrayal, and perhaps a bit of lingering resentment.
From the very first cash-in back in 2005 to CM Punk’s infamous title snatch from Jeff Hardy in 2009 (a moment that still elicits groans from Hardy fans), the episode revisits the defining moments of this match. Of course, no “Money in the Bank” retrospective would be complete without revisiting Seth Rollins’ “heist of the century,” a cash-in so audacious it rewrote the rules of WrestleMania.
“WWE’s Greatest Moments: Money in the Bank Cash-Ins” airs Sunday, May 18 at 10:01 PM ET on A&E.
