Summary
The overall run time for Money in the Bank 2017 was 2h 46m 45s, and this ranks 48th highest out of all 60 events in my data set.
Here is a listing of how much total show time was allocated for each match when you add up all 3 components: pre-match time, match time, and post-match time. This list also includes where each total time ranks among the 427 entries in my data set.
- 42m 04s: Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match (21st longest out of 427 entries)
- 37m 41s: Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton (39th)
- 24m 51s: Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match (149th)

- 13m 44s: Naomi vs. Lana (325th)
- 7m 06s: Breezango vs. The Ascension (416th)
Now here is a look at the "Match Time Percentage" for each match. For any given match, this percentage shows how the match time compares to the combined pre-match and post-match segment time. For some context, it's good to know that the median result here since 2013 is 63.0%.
(Here's an example calculation: an entry with a match time of 6m 00s, pre-match time of 3m 00s, and a post-match time of 1m 00s has a score of 60.0%, because the match time of 6m 00s is 60% of the total sum of 10m 00s for all three components.)
- 70.9%: Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
- 64.1%: The Usos vs. The New Day
- 55.6%: Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton
- 54.0%: Naomi vs. Lana
- 53.8%: Breezango vs. The Ascension
- 53.5%: Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
