The popular ladder match has had its bones of contention...
2. Carmella's "Win"
The first ever Women's Money in the Bank ladder match in 2017 was heavily built up in the weeks prior, since, well, it was the *first* one. The opportunity and milestone were hyped incessantly, and the entrants all spoke glowingly of having a match of their own.
