The Money in the Bank ladder match is a multi-person ladder match held by the professional wrestling promotion WWE. First contested at WWE's annual WrestleMania event beginning in 2005, a separate Money in the Bank pay-per-view was established in 2010. [1] The prize in the match is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match of the winner's choice (actually determined by the WWE writers), which can be "cashed in" by the holder of the briefcase at any point in the year following their victory—until 2022, the contract was only for a world championship match. If the contract is not used within a year of winning it, it will be invalid, but this has yet to happen. Up to and including the 2016 edition, ladder matches only involved male wrestlers. Beginning with the 2017 Money in the Bank event, however, women also have the opportunity to compete in such a match, with their prize being a contract for a women's championship match. a b c Brookhouse, Brent (July 24, 2023).
