LADDER MATCHES: This was a hugely experimental night for WWE, as they tried having two Money in the Bank ladder matches on the same show. To be fair, it worked. Both ladder matches complemented each other well, and it didn't feel like overkill.

This was the night where The Miz got hold of the Raw briefcase in a match which included a very diverse field of names. There were ladder match veterans in Edge and Chris Jericho, fresh new stars in The Miz and Evan Bourne, and a perfect mix of both, in Randy Orton.

Smackdown's Money in the Bank ladder match opened the show in the right way, as Kane won the blue briefcase. He cashed it in on the same night, the first of only two times this has ever happened. The spot of the night happened when Kofi Kingston landed a Boom Drop on Drew McIntyre from a ladder, through the announce table.

REST OF THE CARD: The main event of the show was a steel cage match for the WWE Championship between Sheamus and John Cena. Heavy interference from the Nexus led to Sheamus escaping the cage and retaining his title.

Rey Mysterio successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Jack Swagger, before Kane cashed in on him. Since most viable Superstars were in the ladder matches, there wasn't really anything else interesting on this card. This was an experiment at a concept that we have grown accustomed to today.

ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS SHOW: Experimental
