Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Money in the Bank Moments

Number 6: Christian and Orton’s Summer Feud

Randy Orton

Last year, old school wrestling fans loved the fact that Christian got the opportunity in the main event. He was a guy that fans all over the world begged for getting a chance to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Randy Orton was the perfect counterpart for Christian, and would ultimately help him thrive in the best months of his career. Christian would win this match, but the level of importance was much greater. Christian and Orton would continue to put on absolutely excellent matches. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated that this was an 8/10 match, and elevated Christian to another level. I loved the fact that he got an opportunity, and the match here propelled more and more instant classic matches. The technicality and intelligence in the ring between these two thrived for months.
