Raw MONEY IN THE BANK, Year 1

I wonder if this Money in the Bank match can top the last one.

Match 1. British Bulldog vs. Antonio Cesaro
Cesaro left the ring and Bulldog followed. Cesaro lifted him up and put him through the table. He then deadlifted him for another powerslam. Back in the ring, Cesaro hit the Neutralizer, but Bulldog somehow kicked out. Cesaro ducked a clothesline and rolled Bulldog up to win.

Match 2. Hulk Hogan vs. Brock Lesnar
Lesnar landed a belly-to-belly and a fall away slam. He hit the F5, but Hogan kicked out. Hogan dodged a shoulder tackle and hit a DDT, but got a two count. Lesnar connected with another belly-to-belly, but Hogan got up. Hulk hit the big boot and won. Hogan avenges his win from a couple of months ago. 

Match 3. Dolph Ziggler vs. Eddie Guerrero   United States Championship
Eddie stomped on Ziggler's chest multiple times. Ziggler came back with a jumping DDT. Eddie hit the Three Amigos. Eddie placed Ziggler on the top and landed a super German suplex before connecting with the frog splash to win.

Match 4. Extreme Rules - Jeff Hardy vs. Seth Rollins
I'm surprised Matt or Roman Reigns haven't been involved in this feud. These two spent a lot of time on the outside, but they didn't use weapons. Jeff missed a springboard splash, but he was able to hit the Twist of Fate. Rollins kicked out and hit Paroxysm to win.

Match 5. Extreme Rules - Cody Rhodes vs. Dean Ambrose
Ambrose pulled out a kendo stick, but it wasn't effective. He was able to land a face buster and a powerbomb. Cody landed a snap slam and a bulldog on the ramp. Ambrose countered Cross Rhodes and hit the headlock driver. They made it to the ring where Ambrose hit the full nelson face buster to win.

Match 6. Randy Savage vs. Mark Henry   WWE Championship
Can Henry keep the momentum going and win the WWE title? Savage tripped up Henry and then was able to slam him down. He went for the diving elbow, but Henry caught him and hit the World's Strongest Slam. Will Henry do it? No, Savage kicked out. Macho Man countered a powerbomb, but it wasn't enough. Henry landed a DDT and a body splash to win the title.

Main Event. Shawn Michaels vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kurt Angle vs. Kane vs. Damien Sandow vs. ???
Stone Cold is the sixth participant. Austin hit Angle with a DDT. He then busted him open with multiple chair shots. Angle went for the Angle Slam, but Austin countered. Angle was then getting whooped by Michaels Austin hit Kane with a piledriver. Michaels hit Austin with Sweet Chin Music. Bryan set up a ladder perfectly, but DDT'd Sandow instead. Angle was able to get up and pull down the briefcase despite the beating he took.

Recap: Viva la raza! Eddie wins the US title. I like the infrequent title changes; makes them feel important. The Shield are on a roll. This was a night of title changes. Good thing the tag titles weren't on the line.
