At Backlash, Rob Van Dam put his Money in the Bank briefcase on the line against Shelton Benjamin’s Intercontinental Championship in a winner take all match. In the end, RVD walked away with both the briefcase and the title, pinning Benjamin after a nailing a Van Daminator and a Five-Star Frog Splash.

The reign came to an end just two weeks later, as Benjamin pinned RVD on Raw to regain the championship.
