#10 Money in the Bank Ladder Match

This may be an unpopular opinion because a lot of fans look forward to the yearly Money in the Bank PPV event, but this yearly ladder match was something that people got excited for every year at WrestleMania. It's time for the match to go back to its original home. The inaugural MITB match at WrestleMania 21 had only 6 participants, as did the second, which took place at WrestleMania 22. The match grew bigger and bigger as years went by and when they turned it into its own pay-per-view event, it became less special.

For the last two years, WWE has changed the format of the PPV to include only one men's ladder match along with one for the women, which is much more palatable than it was before. Bringing Money in the Bank back to its original home and with fewer participants (preferably the original 6 to keep away from overcrowding) does lead to a problem, however. You really can't do two of them at WrestleMania, especially when they're already doing two battle royals. People would likely complain, but WWE could alternate doing the men's and women's matches each year at WrestleMania, and having the other on an episode of RAW or SmackDown, which would almost certainly be a ratings-grabber.

Another benefit of only having 6 participants is that the WWE could focus on some rivalries between the Superstars before the show and likely have some spill over into the months after WrestleMania.
