The True Story Of How WWE Created Money In The Bank

Plans Nearly Change, Pal

The concept looked to be short-lived, as McMahon thought the prize was “stupid” and that something else should be at stake.

It was at this point that Jericho suggested that the winner would get a guaranteed title shot on the Raw after WrestleMania. Gerwitz liked the idea, but took it a step further to suggest that the contract for a title match would be valid for a whole year, with the holder being able to cash it in whenever they liked.

The three men agreed and the Money in the Bank match was born…but it was nearly scrapped just a few days later.
