3) Chris Jericho

In case this little tidbit has passed you throughout the years or you even missed reading it on the first page here, the Money in the Bank match is not the brainchild of Vince McMahon or anyone else in the offices, rather it was none other than Chris Jericho.

This year, Jericho will be in the match and he’s really a wild card in this whole scenario.

If there is one thing that we’ve learned about Vince McMahon throughout the years, it’s that he does like to give back to the people that have been loyal to him. That’s why for as crazy as everyone thinks it would be to give Jericho the briefcase, he’s never won the match that he invented and he could be thrown that bone here on Sunday night.

Would it be a bad thing for Jericho to walk out with the briefcase? Not necessarily. If anything, out of all the people in this match, Jericho might be most likely to come out with the win and fail at the cash-in ultimately because he’s always willing to do the job for the right reason. [Insert make Roman Reigns look really strong joke here]

You might think that Jericho winning the briefcase on Sunday is an insane idea, but it really isn’t out of the realm of possibility when you sit down and think about all the factors.
