<P> The 2017 Money in the Bank pay - per - view took place on June 18, 2017 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri as a SmackDown brand exclusive event . For the traditional ladder match, which had a contract for a match for SmackDown's WWE Championship, SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon announced AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, and Baron Corbin as the original five participants . United States Champion Kevin Owens was added after he convinced Shane to make him the sixth participant . Mojo Rawley had the opportunity to make it a seven - man match if he could defeat WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, but failed to do so . At the event, Baron Corbin won the match and received a WWE Championship match contract . On the August 15, 2017 episode of SmackDown Live, John Cena had a non-title match against WWE Champion Jinder Mahal . As Cena was pinning Mahal, Corbin attacked him, causing a disqualification . Corbin then cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Mahal, but as soon as the bell rung, he attacked Cena, who was on the apron, allowing Mahal to quickly roll - up Corbin for the win . This made Corbin the third wrestler to unsuccessfully cash in the contract and the second to lose a cash - in match . </P> <P> On the May 30 episode of SmackDown Live, another Money in the Bank ladder match was added to the event, and for the first time, involving women . Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Carmella, and Tamina were originally scheduled to compete in a fatal five - way elimination match on that night to determine the number one contender for the SmackDown Women's Championship against Naomi at Money in the Bank . Before their match could begin, a brawl broke out between the five and the match never occurred . McMahon then scheduled the five to compete in the first - ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match at the event where the winner would receive a contract for a SmackDown Women's Championship match . Carmella won the match after James Ellsworth retrieved the briefcase, and threw it to her . On the following episode of SmackDown Live, however, SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan forced Carmella to relinquish the briefcase since Ellsworth retrieved it for her . On that same episode, Bryan also scheduled a Money in the Bank ladder match rematch for the June 27 episode with Ellsworth banned from ringside (later from the arena). That episode, Carmella, with some aid from the banned Ellsworth, retrieved the briefcase herself and reclaimed the SmackDown Women's Championship match contract . On the April 10, 2018 episode of SmackDown Live, after holding the contract for 287 days (the longest time any wrestler has held on to a Money in the Bank briefcase), Carmella cashed in and defeated Charlotte Flair--who had just suffered an attack from the debuting The IIconics (Peyton Royce and Billie Kay)--for the SmackDown Women's Championship . </P> <P> The 2018 Money in the Bank pay - per - view took place on June 17, 2018, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois . For the first time since 2011, the event was dual - branded, involving both the Raw and SmackDown brands . The event included one male match and one female match . The contracts granted the winners a match for the world championship of their respective brand . The men's contract granted the winner a match for either Raw's Universal Championship or SmackDown's WWE Championship, while the women's contract granted the winner a Raw Women's Championship or SmackDown Women's Championship match . </P> <P> Both the men's and women's ladder matches had eight participants, evenly divided between the two brands . Qualification matches for both ladder matches began on the May 7 episode of Raw . For the men's match, Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, Bobby Roode, and Kevin Owens qualified from Raw, while The Miz, Rusev, a member of The New Day (eventually revealed to be Kofi Kingston), and Samoa Joe qualified from SmackDown . Strowman would go on to win the ladder match and contract . For the women's match, Ember Moon, Alexa Bliss, Natalya, and Sasha Banks qualified from Raw, while Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Lana, and Naomi qualified from SmackDown . Bliss would win the ladder match and later that night (after causing a disqualification in the title match between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey) cashed in the contract and defeated Nia Jax to win the title, thus becoming the third wrestler (and first woman) to cash in her contract on the same night as winning it . </P>
