Eight of SmackDown’s most gifted Superstars battled for the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase, but a tenacious Daniel Bryan was the man who walked away with the future in the palm of his hands.
No one could have predicted the two Earth-shattering World’s Strongest Slams, two big splashes and brutal attack after the match on Big Show’s ankle, with a steel chair, that would help Mark Henry ensure victory against The World’s Largest Athlete at Money in the Bank.
From talking trash on Twitter to building a “Bella Army,” Brie Bella thought she would easily defeat Divas Champion Kelly Kelly. But The Bella Twins should know one thing by now: Do not underestimate Kelly Kelly.
Alberto Del Rio bested Superstars Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston, Alex Riley, Evan Bourne, The Miz, R-Truth and Jack Swagger to emerge victorious in the Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
If at first you don’t succeed, hire a legal team … and fight dirty. That’s exactly what Christian did to help him finally regain the World Heavyweight Championship from Randy Orton.
CM Punk did it. He opened a black hole in the WWE Universe, seizing the WWE Championship in his hometown within his final hours as a contracted Superstar of Vince McMahon, embarrassing The Chairman and conquering a presumably fired John Cena, “The Champ.”
