WWE WrestleMania: 5 great WrestleMania 19-24 matches you may have forgotten

Debut of MITB

Edge was the very first Money in the Bank winner at WrestleMania 21.

These days, the Money in the Bank ladder match has its own pay-per-view and is an accepted aspect of the WWE calendar and storyline. But that obviously wasn’t always the case, and the match got its start at WrestleMania 21 in 2005.

That first MITB match with a world title match contract in a briefcase above the ring included Chris Jericho, Edge, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Benoit, Kane and Christian. The match was a solid introduction to the concept, with Edge coming out on top for a contract that eventually resulted in the first top title of his career the next January.
