Money in the Bank has come at last and it’s time for some predictions!
Daniel Bryan and Rowan vs. The Usos
Since the Usos were officially Shook Up to Raw and only lightly Wild Carded back to Smackdown Live, I’m not sure why Bryan and Rowan are facing them instead of defending their titles. But since the titles aren’t on the line…
Who will win: The Usos
Natalya vs. Dana Brooke vs. Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Mandy Rose vs. Ember Moon vs. Carmella in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
While I feel like any one of these women has a good chance at winning, I think Mandy Rose is coming out ahead on this one. She definitely seems like a long term project for WWE who they’ll want to push to the moon once she’s done slapping Sonya around.
Who will win: Mandy Rose
Sami Zayn vs. Ricochet vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Baron Corbin vs. Ali vs. Finn Balor vs. Andrade vs. Randy Orton in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
I think the idea of Baron winning the briefcase a second time is too appealing for WWE to pass up. I know he’s won it and failed to cash in before, but since then he’s really honed his boring character. Y’know, this is WWE where they’ve convinced themselves that not being entertaining is a good thing that should be rewarded.
Who will win: Baron Corbin
Roman Reigns vs. Elias
I’m not a fan of Roman Reigns, but I don’t think he deserves to be in a feud this pointless.
Who will win: Roman Reigns
Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio
While these two have been feuding for a while, the way they just brought Dominic into the storyline makes me think that it’s going to continue for a while longer. I can’t see it ending without Dominic defending his dad somehow, leading to a disqualification win for Joe.
Who will win: Samoa Joe
The Miz vs. Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage Match
Shane’s trying his hardest to live up to his old man’s heel persona and, to be fair, he does always get a lot of boos. I don’t think that will help him have a good match with Miz though, despite all the bells and whistles (jumping off of the cage) that they’ll do. I think Shane will definitely win though. They’re protecting him for… something.
Who will win: Shane McMahon
Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship
As much as I want to love the heel version of Blanche from Golden Girls, Lacey Evans could have used a lot more time in NXT. Not only is she still rough in the ring, but after watching Becky feud with a legit MMA star it’s hard to watch her now feud with someone who acts like a cartoon character.
Who will win: Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte for the WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship
While I’d like to think this will be the blow off for their never ending feud, I’m not sure who’s left for either Becky or Charlotte to fight once Money in the Bank is over. Liv Morgan? I’m picking Charlotte to win, mostly because I don’t think Becky’s ending the night with both belts.
Who will win: Charlotte
Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship
I don’t know if it’s my faith in Kofi or my lack of faith in Kevin Owens, but I’m picking Kofi to retain his championship. It’s just too early in his run to end it now!
Who will win: Kofi Kingston
Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles for the Universal Championship
Much like with Kofi, I think it’s too early in Seth’s run to have him lose the belt. I think this will be match of the night though and, if it main events, it has the best chance of keeping the audience’s attention after the eleven-match show.
Who will win: Seth Rollins
