5 WWE Superstars who've never competed in a Money in the Bank match but should have

Between the WWE men's and the women's division there have been twenty-six Money in the Bank ladder matches, all with around six to eight superstars competing for the Money in the Bank briefcase.

That's a lot of superstars who will have tried to scale great heights ahead of several others in order to call themselves Mr. or Ms. Money in the Bank. Many of them have been among the top stars in the company.

However, there are a handful of WWE Superstars who have never taken part in a Money in the Bank ladder match despite the fact that they arguably really should have at one point until now.

So, without further ado, let's take a look at five WWE Superstars who have never taken part in a Money in the Bank Ladder match but should have.


#5. Former WWE World Champion Jinder Mahal

The Modern Day Maharaja has been with WWE for a number of years across two spells but he has never competed in the thrilling Money in the Bank ladder match.

Jinder Mahal's first run with the company was between 2010 and 2014 and his second run started in 2016 with roughly fifteen Money in the Bank ladder matches taking place within that time.

So it's not like the company hasn't had the opportunity to put him in at least one Money in the Bank ladder match, especially when stars like Fandango, Tensai and Sin Cara have competed in a MITB match.

As a former world champion trying to get back into the main event, the Money in the Bank ladder match would be the perfect opportunity for Jinder Mahal to get back to where he once was. But for one reason or another he's never gone for it.

#4. Multiple-time WWE Tag Team Champion Big E

To give WWE a little bit of credit here, Big E has only really been considered a singles wrestler on the main roster over the last year or so. Before that, he was firmly a tag team wrestler, so there was no real need for him to enter the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Still, Kofi Kingston has appeared in several Money in the Bank ladder matches and if we're being honest, Big E has a ton more singles star potential than Kingston. So they could've at least put him in the odd match over the years to let him shine a little bit.

Thankfully, now that WWE is investing in Big E as a singles star they are about to right this wrong as he has qualified for the Men's MITB ladder match at this year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

He'll be taking on Ricochet, John Morrison, fellow first-time MITB match entrant Riddle, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, King Nakamura, and Seth Rollins. Hopefully, it is Big E that wins, as he arguably needs the boost the most out of all the competitors.

#3. WWE Hall of Famer Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Damien Sandow and Otis have won Money in the Bank ladder matches and WWE legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has not. So who's the real best wrestler to ever set foot inside a ring now?

Admittedly The Rock probably would've won a Money in the Bank ladder match if he'd ever been in one, but The Brahma Bull has managed to avoid taking back-breaking bumps to earn a briefcase that gives him a championship opportunity.

This is probably because all he had to do to earn a championship opportunity was ask for one. He was that damn good, and that damn high-level that he didn't need a briefcase.

It's odd though that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has never been in a Money in the Bank ladder match, especially when you consider that he's never won a King of the Ring tournament either. The Great One has missed out on many firsts and accolades it seems.

#2. Former WWE Universal Champion 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt has been such an integral part of WWE programming over the last few years that it beggars belief that he, and indeed, regular old Bray Wyatt, has not been in a single Money in the Bank ladder match.

The Fiend has been in a Firefly Fun House match, a Firefly Inferno match, a House of Horrors match. Heck, he's even been in a Swamp Fight and Ultimate Deletion match. But he's never taken part in a simple ladder match for a briefcase.

That isn't about to change either, as The Fiend has been missing from WWE television since WrestleMania, after losing to Randy Orton following the betrayal of Alexa Bliss. He certainly wasn't announced as one of the participants for this year's iconic match.

It is weird to think that Bray Wyatt has accomplished so many things in his career and yet he'll never be remembered as a Money in the Bank match winner, or even an entrant because he hasn't ever entered one.

#1. WWE Superstar Elias

Elias has been one of those WWE Superstars who seems to be permanently on the mid-card, so you'd think he'd be chosen to fill out one or two 'never going to win' filler spots in Money in the Bank ladder matches, right?

Well, no. He has never competed in a Money in the Bank ladder match, which seems even more bizarre given that at one point in his WWE career, he was incredibly over with the WWE Universe and would've killed it in a MITB match.

It's also extremely strange when you consider that WWE has tried a few times to push Elias beyond the position he constantly finds himself to no avail, but they haven't tried making him Mr Money in the Bank. They haven't even tried letting him get battered by a ladder for a while.

Now, this author is not saying that Elias should've ever won a Money in the Bank match (although if Damien Sandow did there's no reason Elias couldn't) but he really should've been involved in one by now.
