- Raw's Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Ted DiBiase vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. The Miz vs. Evan Bourne vs. John Morrison vs. Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry
We get a recap of Smackdown's MITB ladder match earlier in the night, as well as the resulting match between Kane and Mysterio that led to Kane cashing in the briefcase and winning the title. Randy Orton's music hits, and 'The Viper' makes his way out to the ring to a big pop from the crowd. The Miz is the next man out to the ring, and he gets a bit of heat, but it tapers off pretty quickly. Mark Henry is the third man, and honestly I'm a bit surprised at the nice pop that he gets when his music hits. Entrant number five is Ted Dibiase, who comes to the ring with Maryse and gets a bit of heat. These entrances seem to be going by quicker than Smackdown's.
John Morrison is out next and he gets a very nice pop from the crowd. I haven't mentioned yet, but once again there's a ridiculous amount of ladders around the ring and entrance ramp. Chris Jericho is out next and he actually gets a bit of a mixed reaction from the crowd. Evan Bourne is out next to a nice pop from the crowd. It's great to see this young guy in a main event match and getting a nice reaction from the crowd. Edge is the final man out to the ring, and it looks like we're ready to kick things off.
Edge slides a ladder into the ring, but as soon as the bell rings he bails. A couple of people go for the ladder, but everyone turns to Mark Henry instead. Henry fights them off, and things pretty much just break down into a brawl. Miz hits his clothesline in the corner on Henry and Bourne follows it up with a dropkick in the corner. Edge is the first man to go for the briefcase, but Orton is there to stop him, pulling him from the ladder and sending him to the outside where he follows and pounds on him.
Back in the ring, Morrison ducks a ladder shot from Dibiase and hits a kick to the back, but Dibiase responds with a clothesline that puts Morrison down on the ladder. Dibiase hits Orton with a ladder, but eats a dropkick that sends a ladder into his chest, from Bourne. Miz sends Bourne from the ring, and he and Jericho square off, with Jericho getting the better of Miz.
Jericho and Miz continues to fight, right up until Mark Henry throws a ladder into both mens faces. Miz ends up in 619 position, and Henry jumps on Miz's head and out to the floor, hanging Miz on the rope. Jericho smashes Henry with the ladder, then goes into the ring where Bourne is trying to climb up a ladder. Bourne senses Jericho and dropkicks him. Bourne climbs the ladder and Edge tries to stop him, so Bourne responds with a hurricarana that sends Edge to the outside.
Orton comes into the ring where he pulls Bourne through the rungs of the ladder and hits his signature DDT. Morrison is in out of nowhere and hits a huge kick to Orton's head. Morrison tries to suplex Dibiase onto a ladder, but Miz comes in to break it up and both men pound on Morrison for a bit. A ladder is set up in the corner, and Miz charges Morrison, finding himself flapjacked face first into the ladder. Dibiase charges, and eats a drop toe hold, also into the ladder.
Morrison sets up the ladder and climbs, getting to the top. Edge is quick to climb the other side and he and Morrison slug it out. Jericho sets up another ladder, and Orton climbs up on the other side. All four men reach for the briefcase, and Mark Henry comes out of nowhere, in between both ladders, and pushes them both over, sending them to the outside.
Bourne is there and he springboards into Mark Henry, hitting a double knees to the chest. Maryse is shown checking on Dibiase, and she looks to the ladders. She climbs into the ring and takes off her heels. Maryse sets up the ladder and she begins the climb. She gets all the way to the top, but Morrison is there. He tries to help her down, but she doesn't want to come down. Morrison pulls her down and sets her on her feet and Dibiase tries to sneak up the ladder.
Morrison stops him, but Dibiase slams him headfirst into another ladder. Dibiase grabs a ladder and tries to splash Morrison in the corner, but Morrison moves and Dibiase slams into the corner. On the outside Miz concentracts on Morrison, setting a ladder up against the ring pose, and body slamming Morrison into the barricade before slingshotting Morrison onto the ladder.
Morrison climbs the ladder into the ring and uses another ladder to get to yet another ladder, which Edge is on, and Morrison comes close to grabbing the briefcase. Edge grabs Morrison's legs and pulls him through the ladder, where he and Miz put another ladder, and slam it up and down into Morrison's midsection before Edge simply pushes the ladder over. Morrison falls to the outside.
Dibiase is in the ring and he uses a ladder to smash Edge's midsection. Dibiase goes for another ladder, and he and Jericho tangle over it. Dibiase fights off Jericho, and also hits Orton with the ladder. Dibiase is able to fight off Edge, and he goes up the ladder, but Henry is able to stop him. Dibiase tries to hit a cross body from the ladder, but Henry catches him and hits a world's strongest slam. Jericho charges Henry and eats a ladder to the face.
The ladder lands on Jericho and Henry slams Miz on top of both. Henry tries to climb the ladder and Bourne climbs on his back. Orton and Edge pull Henry off, but Bourne is still there with his hands on his briefcase. Orton and Edge pull Bourne off and throw him to the outside where Henry catches him and delivers another World's strongest slam. Henry eats a code breaker and a spear on the outside.
Miz, Morrison, Jericho and Orton try to climb some weird amalgamation of ladders that looks really unsafe. Dibiase puts another ladder in there somewhere and pulls off Miz, who slams face first into the ladder. Everyone's had their hands on the briefcase. Dibiase is pulled down on top of the 'scaffolded' ladder, and he's pushed to the outside by Orton and Edge.
Orton strikes with the RKO on Edge out of nowhere. Morrison and Jericho are fighting on top of the ladder and Jericho is very close. Morrison is able to take Jericho down by punching Jericho's hand. Orton pulls Morrison down and hits an RKO then immediately eats a shooting star press from Bourne. Bourne begins the climb up the ladder and Jericho is still hung up in the ladder. Bourne is so close, but Jericho is able to get upright. Bourne fights him off for a bit, but Jericho comes right back and uses the briefcase to smash Bourne in the head and send him off the ladder.
Jericho is up on the ladder but the briefcase is swinging wildly. Edge is up on the other side and both men slug it out. Jericho reaches and gets his hands on the briefcase but Edge is still there. Jericho falls from the ladder and Orton connects with the RKO while he's on the way down. Orton pushes Edge off the ladder and he falls into an open, upside down ladder in what looks to be an incredibly painful fall. Orton climbs the ladder, and grabs the briefcase, but Miz is there out of nowhere and he pushes Orton off and into the ropes. Miz climbs and gets his hands on the briefcase, pulling it down.
- Winner of the MITB contract - The Miz
