What's Left to Do With the MitB?

[Rolent Tex]

We've had a million run in cash ons, a couple straight up matches called ahead of time and finally a Mania cash in. What angles are there left to do with the briefcase other than a few hundred more run ins?

The main ideas I have are for a straight up Mania match set up ahead of time and the holder being injured by the champ and his goons so he can't cash in, and he helps someone else (an underdog preferably) use it to win the title.

Other ideas?

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Sheamus Cashes in on Charlotte, proceeds to break Nikki Bella's record as longest Reigning Divas Champion, shacks up with Becky Lynch

IT'S A REVOLUTION, FELLA!!

[Push R Truth]

Undertaker kicks Sheamus in the Dick and quickly cashes in the MiTB before the Celtic Warrior regains his testicular powers.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Someone forgets to cash in in time. The briefcase expires, and the holder turns into a delusional "comedy" character ruining every title match with attempted cash-ins until he is granted a real title shot to end his shenanigans.

[audiencewatching]

I'd like to see the next MITB be for Divas or a different belt to freshen it up.

[Greer]

The only scenario left really is a guy cashing in on the final night that his MITB contract is still valid.

I was thinking about this a few weeks ago and looked it up.
Rollins' briefcase was still valid for 3 or so weeks after MITB this year.
Having two active briefcases for the same title would be new..

Not really. Not that long ago the Money in the Bank PPV ended with THREE briefcases active: one for WWE Title, one for WHC and one for any title.

Edit: Ignore me, I'm remembering wrong.

Has the year long build to an announced WM cash in (in a pre announced match) happened?

I vaguely remember it being teased but injury preventing it.

[mizerable]

Sheamus accidently gets his junk caught in the briefcase.

Hilarity ensues over the next several weeks as he runs around screaming in pain.

"Get it aawwff! Aaah. Get it aaawwff, fella!"

Having it for any title might be alright..
WWEWHC, IC, US, Tag (somehow) or Divas (even more somehow)..
Give it to someone like Cesaro, have him cash in on a champion v champion match and pin both guys at once for both titles..

[Milkman Norm]

Get rid of it. It's no longer a useful storytelling tool.

Yep. Kennedy was doing that, and then he got injured and dropped the briefcase to Edge.

That was the year Kennedy won it at Wrestlemania 23.  He said he would cash in at 24, but got injured in May (?) and lost it to Edge on a Raw.  That's if I remember correctly.

EDIT:  Beaten to it.  Damn YOU!

Ah yeah.

I'd love to see that done successfully, although it's obviously a risky prospect for them.

First, I'd make the contract for any title. Then I'd do away with the PPV itself and move the ladder match back to the Wrestlemania card.

Then I'd introduce a stipulation that the match can't be entered by previous MitB winners OR anyone who has held a main roster title.

Make it a mix of mid carders who have never won a title and NXT guys ready to come up.

Imagine if Sami Zayn won the briefcase and used it to take the IC Title off Kevin Owens because he hated him so much.

[Mayonnaise]

The two that come to mind are a guy closing in on or missing his deadline and two people having a case at the same time (Have a guy win in 2016 while the 2015 winner has a month left on his contract).

Wasn't Bryan gonna do that too?

There's a couple of other things they could do.

Someone has the case, then wins the belt in a non MITB match, and keeps the case as insurance.

Someone wins the case, wins the Rumble, stops bringing the case out, it isn't mentioned again, they lose the Mania main event, grab it from under the ring, use it then.

[Deleted]

Money in the Bank was a brilliant concept and they got a lot of mileage out of it but all it does now is write WWE into corners and move careers too fast. I want it gone more than anything else they do. Almost any time we get a fresh champion it's through a bullshit MITB cash in.

Kinda slim pickings from the main roster, though. These are the only people on it who have never won a main roster belt...

Adam Rose
Bo Dallas
Braun Strowman
Bray Wyatt
Erick Rowan
Fandango
Kalisto
Konnor
Neville
Sin Cara
Viktor

Probably why you'd be adding NXT guys, I guess.
