7 Money in the Bank winners who aren't in WWE anymore

#5 Damien Sandow

The 2013 Money in the Bank PPV saw Damien Sandow winning the contract. In October that year, he cashed in the briefcase on John Cena, moments after attacking him and targeting his arm.

Cena somehow managed to pick up the win and Sandow became the 2nd Superstar to cash in the briefcase and fail, with Cena himself being the first one. He was released in 2016 and is currently working for NWA, as well as in the indies.

#4 Jack Swagger

Jack Swagger won the last Money in the Bank contest that was held at WrestleMania, in 2010. The match got a PPV of its own, months later. Mere days after winning the match, Swagger cashed in the briefcase on Chris Jericho, who was attacked by Edge on SmackDown moments ago.

Swagger pinned Jericho to become World Heavyweight Champion but didn't carry the belt for long. He is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling, where he is a part of Chris Jericho's "The Inner Circle" stable, in an interesting turn of events.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
