Moneyin the Bank 2008 Featuring Chris Jericho and CM Punk

Money in the Bank might be offthe cards this year in favor of a multi man match featuring John Laurinaitisand Teddy Long choosing wrestlers to compete, but it has had many storiedmatches over the years. One of the more storied ones is the seven man Money inthe Bank Match at Wrestlemania 24 and it ties into the storyline for this year,as it is the first time Jericho and Punk have went head to head in WWE.

It should be pointed out that theodd number for this match was because Jeff Hardy was suspended for violatingthe WWE Wellness Policy. The likely possibility was that Jeff Hardy was theintended victor. Instead of issuing a replacement, a seven man money in theBank Match was announced for Wrestlemania 28.

It was a human highlight reel.Shelton Benjamin was a highlight as usual in this match but the other sixwrestlers made their moments. Matt Hardy returned, taking out MVP, thuscontinuing the epic feud that they have been having. In a flash forward to whatmay happen four years from now, it came down to Chris Jericho and CM Punk. Oneon one, for the championship shot and this was the night that CM Punk took hisfirst step to really making it as a WWE Superstar. Jericho narrowly missed thebriefcase and Punk would win his first of two Money in the Bank Matches.
