5 times Wade Barrett should've been made World Champion

Wade Barrett seemed destined for success

MITB
It seemed like Barrett would be one of the favourites for this bout

Daniel Bryan won the 2011 Money In The Bank ladder match, but in all fairness, it should've been Wade Barrett. Bryan went on to have a relatively successful heel turn with the strap, but it was an odd way for him to win his first World Title.

It feels as if Barrett would've benefited so much more from holding onto the briefcase, and at any time in the following few months he could've replaced Bryan by cashing in on either Henry or Show.

Hell, you could even have had him cash in the MITB on Randy Orton in order to renew their rivalry. They always seemed to have interesting matches together, so why not put the belt on Barrett and see what kind of work the two could do?

It would've been a story that made sense, as opposed to one that felt forced as was the case with the leader of the Yes Movement.

We jump forward to the following year now for Barrett's next big opportunity.
