8 things WWE could do to ensure the "New Era" is a success

#4 Reform Money in the Bank

Meaningless.

Some wrestling concepts are timeless. They just work. The Royal Rumble is a great example of this. Money in the Bank? Not so much.

Money in the Bank started off hot, but the concept has become increasingly tedious over the years. There's nothing novel about a surprise cash-in anymore.

Worse, the concept has often been the excuse to put titles on people that weren't worthy of them. Money in the Bank briefcase holders have often been booked horribly prior to cashing in, which makes their usually dubious title-worthiness even worse, translating into a poor reign.

The concept hit rock bottom this year, with how Braun Strowman's run with the briefcase was booked.

Something needs to change. Better, a substantive change to Money in the Bank can help to mitigate the post-WrestleMania slump we just talked about.

There's no doubt that the ladder match is one of the most anticipated of the year, so that concept can be kept. However, the nature of the briefcase should be that the contract inside guarantees a title shot against the holder's respective brand champion at SummerSlam.

That way, there's no more screwy shenanigans, the holder of the briefcase will likely be someone worthy of holding the title, and the SummerSlam event can be made into an even bigger deal, with a build to a definite title match getting long, devoted attention.
