Several WWE stars become world champions by Money in the Bank cash-in
The Money in the Bank ladder match is one of the important multi-starred matches in WWE, which changes the career of a WWE Superstar. The match is contested for a championship contract in a ladder match, in which the winner can cash in anytime, anywhere for an impromptu championship match. This bypasses the path to becoming the champion. Here we take a look at the WWE Superstars who cashed in their MITB contract to become the world champions for the first time.
