Daniel Bryan, the First WWE Superstar to Unsuccessfully Cash in the Money in the Bank Briefcase

Spy Radio

Daniel Bryan shocked the WWE Universe at last nights Money In The Bank PPV. Bryan out lasted seven other Superstars to win SmackDown's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. By winning the SmackDown Money In The Bank Ladder Match, Bryan has earned himself the Money In The Bank Briefcase. Inside the Briefcase is a contract for a World Heavyweight Championship Match. This match can take place any time Bryan sees fit.

Although Bryan has earned himself the Money In The Bank Briefcase he will be the first Superstar to cash in the Briefcase and not become Champion. The first sign that Bryan will not become Champion happened last night at the Money In The Bank. After Orton was screwed out of the Championship he attacked the new World Heavyweight Champion, Christian. Orton nailed Christian with a monitor and delivered two 'RKO's' onto the announce table. This was the perfect time for Bryan to cash in his Briefcase but he was no where to be found. He did not even appear on the entrance ramp to show that he was thinking about cashing in. Bryan failed to take advantage of the opportunity he was presented with at Money In The Bank. For that reason he will probably cash his Briefcase in for a fair fight. There is nothing wrong with cashing in for a fair fight but it does not guarantee a Championship.

Almost all of the past Money In The Bank Briefcase winners did not cash in their Briefcases for a fair fight. They all took advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves. For example, Edge successfully cashed in his Money In The Bank Briefcase against John Cena. Cena had just finished defending his Championship against five other Superstars in an Elimination Chamber. Last years winner The Miz, successfully cashed in his Money In the Bank Briefcase against Randy Orton. Orton had just finished defending his Championship against Wade Barrett. Before Orton faced Barrett he was attacked by The Nexus.

These examples show that the holder of the Briefcase needs to take advantage of the opportunities they are presented with. Bryan failed to show any initiative when he was presented with a perfect opportunity. For that reason Daniel Bryan will be the first WWE Superstar to unsuccessfully cash in their Money In The Bank Briefcase.

    Response to your comment: Why did you get in trouble? It's not like it was a real dagger and you were what? 5 or 6? Geesh. :-/ I haven't seen Mr. Kennedy in TNA yet. We share the TV; don't have my own, so I can't watch wrestling every night (I get Raw & Smackdown though). So when it comes down to choosing, I choose WWE. Grew up with it since the WWF days lol. I catch TNA every once in awhile though, just haven't seen Kennedy. I rarely bid on eBay, I look for "Buy It Now" items.

    I guess I should be happy Cody didn't win it, I would hate to see him win it and then lose. But if DB is cashing it in at the next Wrestlemania, maybe they're going to take the year to build him up, and then he'll win. It'd be cool to see, as well as watching the Cena/Rock feud progress over the next year (I only mention that because that is also schedule for WM28). Response to your comment: I had safety scissors, but I can't remember if they cut anything besides paper. But that's probably a good idea for little kids; to keep them from hurting themselves or cutting anything they shouldn't have been cutting (like their hair).

    Part One: Hey Wendy, at last years Money In The Bank I said “I would like to see The Miz win and cash in his briefcase later that night. Odds are that is not going to happen.” I was glad that The Miz won. A lot of people don’t like The Miz because he was a reality TV star. I don’t mind that The Miz was a reality TV star because he is entertaining. The Miz has the ‘IT Factor’ which I think Daniel Bryan lacks. When The Miz gets on the microphone I want to listen to what he has to say. When Bryan is on the microphone I want to turn off the TV. I also think The Miz was ready for a Championship push. Before winning Money In The Bank in 2010, The Miz was a two time United States Champion, a two time WWE Tag Team Champion, and a two time World Tag Team Champion. My reply was so long I had to split it into two parts.

    Part Two: During that time he was hanging onto both the United States and Unified Tag Team Championships. While Bryan only won the United States Championship one time before becoming Mr. Money In The Bank. During his run as United States Champion it did not seem like the fans were behind him. Maybe at first because he defeated The Miz, but every time I watched Raw it seemed like no one was cheering for him.

    I remember that when The Miz won the Raw Money In the Bank last year that no one thought he would be able to become WWE Champion. Not only did he do it, but he held on to the title far longer than anyone thought he would. As for Daniel Bryan not cashing it in on a weak Christian, let's deal with one issue at a time. After all, it was Kane who has the record for the shortest amount of time cashing in the contract when he cashed it in last year on Rey Mysterio after Mysterio had just finished defending it against Jack Swagger. Just my two cents on the matter. I was happy that Daniel Bryan won and I do believe he will become heavyweight champion, but he does have one whole year to do it.
