Especially with the brand split back and in full effect I figured that Money in the Bank should be scrapped as a PPV and they should bring back Money in the Bank at WrestleMania and why?
Because if WrestleMania from now on is going to have Ladder Matches on the card it only makes more sense for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match to return
8 men...4 RAW superstars and 4 Smackdown Live superstars with a ladder hanging high above
The winner not only becomes Mr Money in the Bank but the winner of the briefcase could cash in on his brand's Champion or he could cash in on either Champion depending on what brand he's on further adding to the unpredictability of Money in the Bank

The concept has run its course imo. There's really not a scenario they haven't played out already with the MITB winner. For me, its not remotely exciting anymore.

Well maybe because they made it into a PPV in the first place because had they kept it as a Mania Match it would be more of a special attraction But also having just 1 briefcase as opposed to 2 briefcases would be a start...RAW and SmackDown Live superstars fighting for the right to be Mr Money in the Bank |

I wouldn't cancel it. But I'd maybe move the concept to SummerSlam. Give each RAW & SD matches on the same show. Would help get Network subs on the weakest of the big four. The concept has run its course imo. There's really not a scenario they haven't played out already with the MITB winner. For me, its not remotely exciting anymore. There's a few ways that haven't been used yet... The MITB winner wins the WWE or Universal championship without cashing in. So they are champion with a guaranteed insurance policy. Then have some night where a top baby-face wins the title, only to be cashed in by the former champ moments later. Have the MITB winner get arrested earlier in the night. Show them being dragged off kicking and screaming by the cops. Then during the main event when the champion is weak, have them jump out and cash in. Show that they were never really arrested and it was all a set up. The WWE/Universal champion is best friends with the MITB winner. Have them be close. Build their friendship for months. Some random RAW they team up to take on a dangerous team. Though they win, both are beat to hell. While consoling his injured friend, the MITB winner realizes how hurt the champ really is, so he cashes in. Friendship is dissolved and a feud begins. Those are just off the top of my head, so be gentle. |

i like the suitcase idea but the ladder match has been so over done in the last 15 years that i'd rather a different type of match occur for it.
same with hell in a cell having it's own ppv. genuinely cringeworthy and a ridiculous way to beat a dead horse into the ground.

I've always wanted to see them have a storyline where the holder runs out of time and really emphasise the 1 year rule. On the final night have multiple backstage segments with the champion ducking the briefcase holder frantically running about backstage gradually getting more and more frustrated. Maybe show him relaxed over the situation over the leading weeks saying he's waiting for the right opportunity and it never comes.

Those are just off the top of my head, so be gentle. The 2nd one is pretty bad, but I could see them doing something in that regard. 1 and 3 are both pretty good. When Kennedy got hurt and Edge won the case from him, I always thought that situation could have been turned into a pretty surprising swerve down the line. Someone wins the case, is forced to defend it and loses, but secretly keeps the actual contract that's inside the case itself. So months later, when each guy has moved on story line wise, the new case holder suddenly tries to cash in and it's revealed that the match months ago was legitimately just for the case itself. Obviously they could be a bit more elaborate about how it plays out, but if properly stretched out, it could make for a pretty shocking moment. Anyways, on topic, I think they definitely need to move it back to being a specialty match, instead of having 2 in one night. |

If it were up to me I'd scrap the PPV for a non-gimmick PPV like Unforgiven or Judgment Day and spread out the Raw and Smackdown MITB ladder matches, so maybe Raw has their's at Extreme Rules and Smackdown has their's Night of Champions or something.

The Problem is not with the MitB Briefcase Cash-in moments, as marino said, there are plenty of scenarios we haven't seen yet. My problem is more that most of the multiman ladder matches are just rushed spotfests and don't live up to the early mitB or multi-man ladder matches. most competitors seem awkward when in these kinda matches and when they're not in some kind of spot they don't know what to do with themselves except lie on the floor and wait for the next spot. Maybe it's because The Hardys, E&C and the Dudleys delivered SO hard at the beginning of the time we had these matches that the writers don't know what else to do, or I don't know.

Honestly I would scrap the whole thing. The briefcase was cool at the start but has now run its course.

As a PPV yes. Other than the Rumble Ive never been a fan of match types used as PPVs (Elimination Chamber, Fatal 4-Way, Money In The Bank, Hell In A Cell etc) I'd still like to see it as an interpromotional match however.

They should have NXT guys in it as well.
Maybe 3 Raw and SmackDown and 2 NXT guys.
Or replace the Andre battle royal with it.

I am always in favor of dropping any gimmick Pay-Per-View. I'm not totally opposed to moving the match itself to another point during the year, though.

Scrap the whole concept or alter it so that the winner gets a future title match, but not an opportunity to run down at any moment and pin a guy when he's almost unconscious. That's just  ing stupid. |

Mania already has the Andre battle royal. If you're going to move it then move it to SummerSlam. It's the only big 4 PPV without its own exclusive match.

Eh I'm indifferent about it. Keep it, get rid of it. It's all cool to me.
lol they should do that four boxes on a pole match. One box is a world title shot, one box is you're fired, one box you get a bath in Booty-O's, and the last box you get traded shows.

Nope.
I enjoy it, even if people have lost interest I do find multi-man ladder matches fun. And with both Rosters piss weak for main event talent then it's opportune time for a mid carder to break through.
