Money in the Bank to push new talent? Let's look at the history of MitB.
Edge won it first: Unnecessary, he was already in the ME picture on and off.
RVD second: Also not needed.
Kennedy won, Edge cashed: Neither needed as both were in the Main Event/Upper mid-card pictures at the times they both obtained it.
Punk 2x: Okay, first time it was needed from my knowledge, I didn't watch much thay year, but I assume Punk was lower mid card at the time he won his first. Winning his second, I could see that one also as pushing new talent up.
Jack Swagger:Okay, he would've had to had it to be ME. As he fell shortly after losing the title.
Kane and Miz: Kane completely unnecessary. Though, The Miz did need the push to make it finally.
So in conclusion of the 8 MitB matches: Half needed the push (if you count both of Punk's wins as needed) and half didn't. I just like the MitB to surprise me when it's being used. I did not like RVD's use of it. And if Cena were to get it, he could not cash in when an opponent was down. Now, I could see Cena being the first to lose after cashing in the MitB, and I would be okay with that. Someone finally lost, cashing it in, and Cena will lose nothing in return and probably get another title shot next PPV anyway.
