Greatest Money in the Bank Match #4: SmackDown 2011

For the second ever Money in the Bank branded pay per view, the SmackDown brand put on a real barn burner of a slobber knocker.

While Kane, Daniel Bryan, and Sheamus were all favorites to win, a surprisingly adept performance by Sin Cara stole the show. The masked man of mystery devastated nearly everyone in the match with his insane lucha libre skills, making the crowd pop hard and making many believe he would be the eventual winner.

Alas, a wicked powerbomb through a ladder administered by the Celtic Warrior would see Sin Cara carted off on a stretcher. Daniel Bryan was able to battle back against the odds and captured the briefcase, which would end up providing him with his first WWE championship reign. This match is one for the highlight reel as it features many lighter, more acrobatic wrestlers plying their trade.
