Can only be used for the WHC Title, unfortunately.

I'd love a Punk/Ziggler feud.

You're using wiki as a source :dawg: ? I know it's been mentioned as a WHC shot but I don't think it's ever been mentioned as title exclusive if that makes sense, mainly because of the brand idea being dead so it's never been met in a story. I'm supposing it's a possible into Cena / Ziggler though, it's not literal more theoretical.

Wiki isn't a source. It's a brand title I swear. I've not once seen them mention that they can only go for the big onse :urm:.

I know it's a ridiculous little video but Punk actually acknowledged this in a way :dawg:

I'd be down for building such a personal feud that someone cashed in for a IC title match, I know it's illogical but imagine such a bad blood feud over that title resulting in someone cashing in MITB for a shot.

The following is a money in the bank ladder match, and it is for a world heavyweight championship contract.

Dolph Ziggler has in his hands a contact guaranteeing him a WH title opportunity.

Is it possible she botched, or is it not an easy way into a feud? Also why is it branded Raw and Smackdown ?

Just edited with a quote from Cole when Ziggler wins.

I don't know, they've done brands since either 08 or 09, now that it turned into it's own PPV and there's 2 matches.

So it's possible my idea works and they classed it as a WHC match since that was the title at the time?

At 10:28 when Vickie announces it, she announces one for the WWE Championship and one for the World Heavyweight Championship. It's not relegated to the brand, so technically speaking no, that's not a loophole Dolph could exploit to get the WWE Championship.

Wasn't a botch. They were Championship specific because at that time the brand split all but ended & they were doing an all former champions match (with Cena) and needed to get people from both Raw and Smackdown in the other one (which is why I pointed out Cena, a Raw guy, was in the former one. Ziggler was a Raw guy at the time, if it was the Smackdown Money In The Bank Ziggler couldn't have been in the World Championship one). Why are the briefcases branded Raw & Smackdown? Because WWE are freakin' lazy and didn't feel like changing it, especially when it's very possible this was a one time occasion. Plus, their is no real reason too, considering the brand would tell which championship to cash in on.

Which is why even though the technically can't do that, and it would become a plot-hole if that scenario did happen, it's such an insignificant plot-hole that it doesn't matter in the slightest.
