Asuka is certainly one of the best wrestlers on the WWE roster. The Japanese native has been on top of the WWE mountain many times. She has had multiple titles ever since her debut in WWE. It is rather an uncommon sight that a wrestler from another promotion actually scales the WWE system successfully. AJ Styles is probably another rare exception to this list; having been an IMPACT Wrestling original and then moving to NJPW for most of his career. Wrestlers such as Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, and many more have failed to receive or maintain main event status. They have entrusted Asuka to give amazing matches with all the Four Horsewomen. The Empress also has a very impressive social media following where she regularly interacts with the fans. She is an avid gamer too, probably as good as she is in the ring. IS ASUKA INJURED? Asuka has been one of the most reliable workers for WWE over the years. Be it in tag team action or even as a singles wrestler. Becky Lynch, who has been the breakout performer and carried the company for the better part of 2019 and the start of 2020, handed over her title to Asuka. The belief WWE has shown in her is tremendous. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/asuka-injury.jpg] She recently took to Twitter [https://twitter.com/WWEAsuka/status/1432837555498618880] to post about receiving new teeth and thanked her doctor for the success. A peculiarity that the fans noticed was that Asuka was seen wearing a cast on her left arm. This might have answered most of our fan questions regarding the whereabouts of Asuka. She was last seen at the Money in the Bank PPV in late July. Since then she has missed both house shows and TV taping. Reports were rife that she was absent, as creative had nothing for her. Asuka refuted this herself publicly. Now, it seems the reason is an unfortunate injury. We as fans hope she can make her comeback sooner than later with a new crop of female wrestlers entering the company. This would allow for many fresh feuds and matches for Asuka.

<h2>WWE Money in the Bank: Latest News, WWE Rumors, Results</h2>
If you ever want to see a group of men struggle to climb a ladder for a briefcase and cling on to it for dear life, Money in the Bank is the event for you. However, it isn?t any ordinary briefcase.

<img class="n3VNCb aligncenter" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2017/06/20170618_mitb_laddermatch--7c3afe19d6aa27588c77e964a8b61a52.jpg" alt="WWE Money in the Bank 2017 video highlights: Courtesy of WWE Network | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

The briefcase contains a precious contract, which allows the winner a challenge for any championship he/she wants. By stipulation, the holder of that contract can cash in his/ her contract at any time.
<h2>History</h2>
Money in the Bank was introduced as a match based on the original concept of a ladder match. Instead of directly clinching a belt from atop a ladder, contestants are given the opportunity to challenge for the title. Unsurprisingly, it was created by the one and only Chris Jericho.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2020/05/11/ba17c72b-33e7-47b8-b26c-3a68e574918f/thumbnail/1200x675/129c33692d761de197ed0e3c11ceefeb/wwe-mitb-2020.jpg" alt="2020 WWE Money in the Bank results, recap, grades: Shocking winners, great world title matches highlight show - CBSSports.com" data-noaft="1" />

Money in the Bank was introduced as a WrestleMania match in 2005 and continued being a WrestleMania match until the match got its own pay per view in 2010.
<h3>Stipulation</h3>
The general rules are the same as the ones described above. There are generally 6-8 contestants who participate in the match. Only one can climb the ladder successfully to unhook the briefcase for the contract inside.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/braun-strowman_mitb.jpg?fit=1200%2C675" alt="Braun Strowman Has to Carefully Cash In His Money in the Bank | Den of Geek" data-noaft="1" />

The contract grants the winner the ability to have a championship match at his beck and call. It doesn?t matter if the defending champion has just had the most straining match of his life or was ambushed by a rival; the title can be challenged at any time.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2020/05/05/94341e89-393b-4219-8baf-358a16b8d024/thumbnail/1200x675/a6bb44b30fd8e5cf6f2e3a976c68c163/seth-rollins-cash-in.jpg" alt="WWE Money in the Bank: Reliving the most memorable briefcase cash-ins by winners in history - CBSSports.com" data-noaft="1" />

Generally, winners cash in their contracts when their opponents are already tired and in no position to compete against a fresh face. Exploiting this opportunity, a number of winners have stunned the crowd by winning the championships in this fashion.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2b/70/98/2b7098e59b22d6b04e2d3f38ff1dc978.jpg" alt="Photos: See the greatest 25 Raw moments of all time | In this moment, Miz, Wwe news" data-noaft="1" />

John Cena, Damien Sandow, Baron Corbin, and Braun Strowman are the only superstars in WWE history to unsuccessfully cash in their contracts.
<h3>Brand-splits and Title Unifications</h3>
At first, the briefcase was strictly split between Raw and SmackDown, and winners would only be able to challenge for the WWE Championship and WWE World Heavyweight Championship belts, respectively.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_large/public/match/thumb/2013/07/orton_wins_mitb_match.gif" alt="Randy Orton won the Money in the Bank All-Stars Match | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

This changed when the titles were unified in 2013 by Randy Orton. It would now be just the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. A single Money in the Banks match was hosted for that one title that year.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/05/203_MITB_06182017jg_2193--8edd8766b5c30ca403ffd4c55fa54547.jpg" alt="Every Money in the Bank Ladder Match competitor ever: photos | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

The brand-split ended once more in 2016, and this once again split the event between Raw and SmackdDown for the titles concerned. However, Money in the Bank 2017 was SmackDown exclusive.
<h3>New format</h3>
The 2017 PPV was a historic landmark for WWE. Firstly, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was covered into the SmackDown Championship. More importantly, WWE had its first women?s Money in the Bank ladder match that Carmella won.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3d/4e/5b/3d4e5be9a63b681cec255021f4b73de2.jpg" alt="MITB 2013 | World heavyweight championship, Professional wrestling, Wwe superstars" data-noaft="1" />

In 2018, the new format was introduced with eight participants for each division. Now accommodating women?s matches, WWE holds a dual-branded PPV.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/06/002_RAW_06112018ca_0237--1742f4ea3aebad5f064d57d4219df798.jpg" alt="Raw's Money in the Bank Ladder Match competitors sound off: photos | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

Money in the Bank now sees matches for the WWE Championship, WWE Universal Championship, WWE SmackDown Women?s Championship, and WWE Raw Women?s Championship.
<h3>Rule modifications</h3>
Winners are also allowed to choose whichever title they want to challenge for, irrespective of the brand. This makes the stipulation a lot more exciting.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sporting_news/94/38/asuka-5102020-wwe-ftr_1r6slxdxbvp9m15ck0gqcrxpzh.jpg?t=39736786&amp;quality=100" alt="WWE Money In The Bank 2020 results: Otis and Asuka win briefcases in utterly ridiculous ladder match | Sporting News" data-noaft="1" />

There has also been a new version of the match known as ?Corporate Ladder?. Contestants have to start brawling at the basement of the arena and work their way up to the roof of the premises and will then have to clinch the briefcase suspended from the top.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingnews.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/OtisMITBcase-1280x720.png" alt="SPOILER: Otis is not cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Braun Strowman | Wrestling News" data-noaft="1" />

In 2020, the number of contestants was reduced to six per match due to concerns over the pandemic. However, the matches didn?t lack any excitement and checked all the boxes.
<h2>How do I watch WWE Money in the Bank 2021?</h2>
You can catch Money in the Bank 2021 exclusively on WWE Network if you are a member. It can also be viewed on traditional streaming channels.
