For this week's retro event review, the focus turns to a more recent classic: Money In The Bank 2011. On this night, there were two great MITB Ladder matches, a very good World Title bout and a tremendous main event which had a brilliant build-up, a red-hot crowd and positioned CM Punk as a permanent main eventer.

The card kicked off with the SmackDown Money In The Bank match which involved Wade Barrett, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Kane, Sin Cara and Cody Rhodes. There was no real favourite but plenty of viable contenders and, with a good blend of talent and styles, there were plenty of big moments, the most notable being a Sheamus powerbomb through a horizontal ladder to Cara, who left the match afterwards (this was the cover story for a suspension), and a very risky 450 Splash by Gabriel off a horizontal ladder. In the end, Daniel Bryan emerged as something of an unexpected winner, which went down a treat with the hardcore Chicago fans. The show had kicked off with a bang.
