Five-way Money in the Bank Ladder match SmackDown 06/27/17

It is Friday, so it is that time again for another Free Match Friday. In anticipation of tonight’s SmackDown debut on the Fox Network, let’s look at a match that will forever be history-making.

In June 2017, SmackDown hosted its first and still only Money in the Bank ladder match for the women’s roster. In this match, the participants were Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Carmella, Natalya, and Tamina.

This took place due to a controversial ending to the first-ever women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match from the recent pay-per-view. Carmella won that match with the help of James Ellsworth who would actually retrieve the briefcase for her.

The second go-round, Carmella would climb the ladder herself to retrieve the Money in the Bank briefcase which she would go on to hold for 287-days. This was the longest that anyone has held the briefcase in history prior to cashing in on Charlotte Flair.
