Every single Money in the Bank PPV ranked from worst to best

#5 Money in the Bank 2012

Ziggler was one of the better-booked Money in the Bank winners.

WHEN: July 15, 2012

WHERE: US Airways Center, Phoenix

LADDER MATCHES: Oh, the contrast between the two ladder matches. The main event was for the Raw Money in the Bank briefcase, in a ladder match which only former WWE Champions were eligible to compete in.

John Cena beat The Big Show, Kane, Chris Jericho, and The Miz because the hook of the briefcase broke as Cena was using it to hit Show. What an underwhelming person to win the briefcase at that time, and what an underwhelming way for it to happen.

On the other hand, the show opened on a very positive note. There may have been some odd names like Santino Marella and Tensai in the SmackDown ladder match, but it delivered big time.

Ladder match experts, Christian and Dolph Ziggler led the way for the bulk of the match. The briefcase was captured by Ziggler, who enjoyed a fantastic run as Mr. Money in the Bank over the next few months. This would have been a hell of a career-making moment, had the aftermath to his cash-in turned out differently.

REST OF THE CARD: The rest of the show was headlined by an outstanding No Disqualification Match between WWE Champion CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, with AJ Lee as special guest referee.

This was one of Punk's best title defenses during his incredible 434-day reign as WWE Champion. Elsewhere, Sheamus retained his World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a pretty average match.

Other things were fillers, but effective. Ryback won a 2-on-1 handicap match against Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks, as he continued his march to becoming the most over star in the company later in 2012. This show was inconsistent as it had some great matches, some average ones, and some bizarre booking decisions throughout the night.

ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS EVENT: Inconsistent
