#6 Dean Ambrose wins the big one, Money in the Bank 2016

Ambrose’s cash in was an awesome moment, and the Las Vegas crowd fittingly erupted for it

While his popularity has somewhat faltered in recent months, Dean Ambrose was arguably the top babyface in the company earlier this year. While WWE tried to force Roman Reigns upon fans, Dean Ambrose was the one who was gaining incredible popularity, and fans were eager to see him win the big one after multiple failed attempts.

When he won the Money in the Bank Ladder match, fans (especially those in attendance) were ecstatic, and couldn’t wait to see him cash in. Luckily, they didn’t have to wait. Cashing in at the end of the main event between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, Ambrose finally won the gold after two years of failures.

When that third count hit the mat, the Las Vegas crowd erupted, showering Ambrose in cheers as he finally reached the top of the mountain. Although his actual title reign wasn’t as good, his cash-in was an awesome moment, and it produced one of the best WWE pops of 2016.
