So there have been some great money in the bank moments (such as Edge, Seth, RVD, CM Punk’s 2nd and Dean/Mox’s cash ins) but there have also been several more cash ins that were meh and were used just to get rid of the case. I think the best way to do it is alternate MITB every year between the men and women. Say men get even years and women get odd years.

Do it every 5 years instead of annually.

You can't cash-in at any moment, you have to give at least a week's notice but can pick the gimmick match.
If they keep the instant cash-in have someone win the title without using it. Then there's the interesting aspect that they can keep it as insurance or go for another title. Would also work if someone won the rumble and mitb so they got 2 shots.

Retire it for a while. It’s a booking albatross and a lazy way to write a story for someone. Also: people having to walk around with that briefcase is so stupid. It’s bad enough that they have to carry it around on the shows, but when they have to bring it on the plane and travel with it it just becomes ridiculous. lol

Pretty sure shortly after the first MitB Edge then won a number one contenders match. So very similar. Must have been a Raw title match since the PPVs were H and Batista for the next two PPVs after Mania.

He won the Gold Rush Tournament (beat Kane in the finals when Lita turned) and lost his title match to Batista the week after.

Thought I was right because I remember thinking he could lose the match, do a chair beatdown, then use the MitB to get a win. But it would have been bad timing as Batista needed to be established.

Cosmetic change, but bring back the customized briefcases, it kind of added to the winner's gimmick more than just a briefcase with the MITB logo on it.

On the women's side, even just not cashing in the same night or the night after would be good.

Go back to doing it at Wrestlemania. The cash-in year running from Wrestlemania to Wrestlemania just feels right and WM can always benefit from a crazy ladder match.

Reverse MitB, bro.
Everyone starts out with a briefcase, and the winner is the first to lose theirs.

I'd put it back on Wrestlemania for men. Don't bother with a women's match. The women's matches usually aren't very good and the cash ins not as memorable as the men's. I know they are all about 1 for men and 1 for women on everything lately, but it kind of cheapens some things.
I'd also make it so the champ has to be medically ok to go by the ref. Not totally knocked out or anything like that extreme. It seemed like it was like that at first.

Mummy in the Bank.
The briefcase now also contains a mysterious idol (must be present when cashing in), and a seemingly unstoppable but somewhat slow-moving Mummy will chase down whoever holds the idol until they cash in (or are killed by the Mummy). May or may not be tied to the Yeti, I'm good either way.

Put it on someone who you are really COMMITTED to making a consistent new star.
Too often recently it’s been used to give someone a short run, then they just fall down to where they were before once it’s over.

I'd treat it like a video game powerup + a TV title where it's very powerful but fragile. You always have it on the line when you wrestle and you wrestle every week while you have it. And if you purposely get a DQ you lose it. And you can't just cash it in while or after a champ is wrestling, you gotta call your shot. If the Champ hasn't wrestled that day yet, you replace their opponent that night.

One mens match at Wrestlemania.
I fall somewhere in the middle when it comes to women's wrestling. I think they're absolutely more than just a special attraction or whatever, but I don't think they need every gimmick match the men get, especially on the same night. I'm also all for them having certain annual matches that the women do and not the men. That Iron Survivor being a women's thing one a year would be great for example.
I got off topic, I just didn't want to be accused of being anti women's wrestling since I don't think they need a MITB match.

Get rid of the cash in at anytime stip, and instead have the match determine who challenges for the belt at SummerSlam, the same way that the Royal Rumble determines the WrestleMania contender.
