In an interview with Chris Van Vliet for Insight (via Fightful, Ricardo Rodriguez spoke about Dolph Ziggler cashing in Money in the Bank in 2013, noting that it was supposed to happen at Wrestlemania 29. Instead, it happened one night later, when Ziggler defeated Alberto Del Rio to become World Heavyweight Champion. A cash-in at Mania wouldn’t happen until Wrestlemania 31, when Seth Rollins did so against Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
Rodriguez said: “To me, that’s still the top one. That’s incredible. Just because I know originally there was a plan to do it the night of WrestleMania that was originally planned, and then they ended up switching it to the next day. In retrospect, I’m glad they did, just because I think it was a little unexpected. What was great about it too was when they were going over the match they have that false finish where I think Dolph hit the Fameasser, and they go one, two, kick out, whatever. Then Alberto counters it. He does an Enzugiri and then I think he finally hits the arm bar. Then, because the Dolph has been screwed so many times you can just hear everybody bite on it, that was so beautiful. So when he finally hit the Zig Zag, and then the three happened, the eruption of that arena was so incredible, and it was something that I think everybody in unison was very happy for Dolph.“
