4. Damian Priest’s no kick-out
Damian Priest had challenged Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at the 2024 Money in the Bank PLE. The Visionary hit Priest with a Falcon Arrow and covered him.
Priest was supposed to kick out, but his shoulders stayed down, so the referee had to stop his arm from counting the third count to avoid an unbooked title change. Triple H later revealed that the count had to stop when Drew McIntyre arrived, but it didn’t because of a backstage delay in hitting his music.
3. Attack on Andrade’s jewels
In the 2025 Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, Andrade and El Grande Americano were brawling outside the ring.
Just then, a mishap led to a ladder hitting Andrade’s face, and then it ricocheted and hit him in the crotch area. Despite a major impact, he was still able to continue the match.
2. Sin Cara & Dolph Ziggler’s Spanish Fly
In the 2012 SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match, Sin Cara attempted a Spanish Fly. However, the masked luchador lost his grip, causing both WWE superstars to slip and crash into the mat. Ziggler went on to win the match to secure the MITB briefcase.
1. John Cena’s briefcase grab
The 17-time WWE World Champion John Cena created one of WWE’s most viral moments at the 2012 MITB event. He competed in the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
In the final moments of the bout, he and Big Show were atop the ladder. As Cena swung the briefcase to hit him, the handle snapped off the hook and fell straight into Cena’s hands, creating a memorable botch etched into WWE history.
