5 most disappointing MITB cash-ins

#3 John Cena

Cena and Punk weren’t able to create magic together – this time

When John Cena won Money in the Bank, the majority of the WWE Universe let out an audible groan. Nobody was quite sure as to what direction they were going in, but all they knew was that having Cena win the briefcase was a move that nobody wanted to see. Still, we’re confident they didn’t think the cash-in would be as bad as it was.

Cena faced off against CM Punk for the WWE Championship at Raw 1000, in a match that was subpar in comparison to their many classic bouts. The ending of the contest saw Big Show attack Cena, causing the disqualification and making John the first man to cash-in the briefcase and fail to win the title.

Did they highlight this vital fact in the weeks and months to follow? Barely.
