Greatest matches in Wrestle Mania history: No. 27

Over the next few months, I will run through the Top 50 matches in Wrestle Mania history (in my humble opinion) as the 29th edition of the event takes place on Apr. 7, live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Today, we look at the match that comes in at No. 27

#27, Carlito vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. John Morrison vs. CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho in a Money in the Bank Ladder match —Wrestle Mania 24 (2008)—Orlando, Florida

(Ranked the second best match from Wrestle Mania 24)

Matt Hardy made his return to WWE during this match, taking out MVP. This was a very entertaining bout, with Shelton Benjamin taking the biggest risks. In the end, CM Punk was the first to the briefcase, winning his first of two MITB crowns. A few months later, Punk would cash in the MITB contract, defeating Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship after Edge was laid out by Batista.
