The Money in the Bank ladder match has a knack for providing must-see moments. It was no different on Saturday night as six men competed to grab the briefcase and earn a world title opportunity at any time.
Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Penta, CM Punk, Kevin Owens and Trick Williams each gave it their all to win and possibly start a journey to holding gold. If there were live odds on the match, Breakker might have been at -30,000 because of his performance.

Breakker delivered a devastating spear to Evans, leveling him into the barricade. WWE officials crowded around Evans as it appeared the “Young OG” was seriously injured. He was placed on a stretcher, carried to the back and placed into an ambulance. It appeared Evans’ night was over before it could even really begin.
The “Unpredictable Bad A—” had momentum on his side. He would tactically take out his opponents one by one, starting with Trick Williams and Penta. As Punk and Owens focused on each other as they have been for weeks on “SmackDown,” they took their attention away from Breakker.
He targeted Punk and Owens next. He ran as hard as he could and speared both competitors through the barricade near the announce table. As he tried to get back to his feet, an ambulance began to drive down the entrance ramp.
Evans was back!
Evans took out Breakker and took care of his other opponents. It looked like Evans was about to make history as the youngest men’s Money in the Bank winner in history. However, he struggled to set up a 15-foot ladder to get his hands on the briefcase. Breakker was back in the ring and distracted the highflyer.

The two jockeyed for position and jostled the ladder out of position. Evans would have one last gasp but was way too far out to try to grab the briefcase. Breakker pushed the ladder, knocking Evans off it. Evans flew through the air and crashed through the roof of the ambulance.
It was the biggest WTF moment of the match.
Breakker thought he was in the clear, but Penta came back into the fray. The Luchador turned up the heat on Breakker. He wedged a small ladder in between the turnbuckle. As he and Breakker fought toward the top of it, Penta hit a nasty Mexican Destroyer on Breakker, catapulting him to the ground.
Penta climbed the ladder and won the Money in the Bank ladder match for the first time in his career.
Penta can now target Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn for their world titles.
