A ladder match is no place for a 300-pound seven-foot-tall giant. At least that is what common sense tells us. Kane had been involved in many Money in the Bank matches previously and had been unsuccessful in each one. It had almost become like his runs in the Royal Rumble matches. He was able to create an impact in each bout, but when it came to finishing and winning the match, he seemed unable to complete.

Additionally, until then, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match winners had all been stars who were looking to make a mark in the minds of the audience. As a result, heading into the 2010 SmackDown Money in the Bank matchup, which involved stars like Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, Kane was not considered to be a possible candidate to win the match.

However, Kane's victory pushed all of that to one side. The Big Red Machine dominated the bout and took down the briefcase from the ladder.

He would also make history by being the first person to cash in the briefcase the very same night, on an exhausted Rey Mysterio, who had just won the World Heavyweight Championship.
