Welcome to my predictions for Money in the Bank PPV.
This year’s event features the 2 MITB matches (One of Men’s and One for Women’s). Who will win and who will cash in on the night?
What happened with last year’s winners, then?
Alexa Bliss won the match and then cashed it in the same night on Charlotte Flair to become a 3-time RAW Women’s Champion, holding the title for about 2 months before dropping the title to Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam 2018.
Braun Strowman won the briefcase at last year’s Money in the Bank and would officially hold it until Hell in a Cell 2018 where he challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Title. He would actually announce that he was cashing in the contract on an episode of RAW in late August. That match finished in a No Contest and Roman retained the title.
As of the time of writing, neither winners of the Money in the Bank ladder match will be participating in the match as Alexa Bliss has not been medically cleared by WWE for the match on Sunday. Braun is out due to a “Story-line injury”. He is not injured in real life but is going to be a story going forward.
Anyway, with that out of the way, let’s predict this PPV.
NON-TITLE MATCHES:
| Singles Match |
| Roman Reigns |
vs |
Elias |
| PREDICTION: Roman Reigns to win. Elias is not a threat to Roman in any shape |
| Steel Cage Match |
| Shane McMahon |
vs |
The Miz |
| PREDICTION: The Miz to win. He will get his revenge on Shane, but I can see Shane utilising backup in this match. Probably in the form of Bobby Lashley or Baron Corbin. |
| Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match |
| Finn Bálor vs Sami Zayn vs Baron Corbin vs Ali vs Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre vs Ricochet vs Andrade |
| PREDICTION: Sami to win. Sami needs to win a title and this would be his start. |
| Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match |
| Ember Moon vs Mandy Rose vs Dana Brooke vs Nikki Cross vs Bayley vs Natalya vs Naomi vs Carmella |
| PREDICTION: Given her massive push in the last few weeks, Dana Brooke to win |
TITLE MATCHES:
| Singles Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship |
| Tony Nese (C) |
vs |
Ariya Daivari |
| PREDICTION: Tony Nese to retain |
| Tag Team Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships |
| Daniel Bryan & Rowan (C) |
vs |
The Usos |
| PREDICTION: Since The Usos are on RAW and the fact that Daniel Bryan & Rowan have only had the title for 2 weeks would mean that they are not going to drop them quite yet. DB & Rowan to retain! |
| Singles Match for the United States Championship |
| Samoa Joe (C) |
vs |
Rey Mysterio |
| PREDICTION: This could have been a better-hyped match, but I have Rey winning. It would be Rey’s first title since he came back to WWE. |
| Singles Match for the RAW Women’s Championship |
| Becky Lynch (C) |
vs |
Lacey Evans |
| PREDICTION: I don’t see Lacey as ‘Champion Worthy’ in my opinion as she really hasn’t had that many matches on the Main Roster, so it is too early to put the title on her. Becky to retain! |
| Singles Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship |
| Becky Lynch (C) |
vs |
Charlotte Flair |
| PREDICTION: As much as it pains me to say this, but I believe that Charlotte Flair is going to take the SmackDown Women’s title off Becky and become the powerhouse of the Women’s Division on SmackDown going forward. Becky is more than likely going to stay on RAW to feud with Evans and possibly get into big feud with someone on there… Charlotte to win! |
| Singles Match for the WWE Championship |
| Kofi Kingston (C) |
vs |
Kevin Owens |
| PREDICTION: I wouldn’t mind either way which way this goes, but given the awesome heel tactics from KO, he deserves this championship. I would have waited until Summerslam to pull that trigger but an upset would be if Kofi dropped it 1 PPV after winning it. |
| Singles Match for the Universal Championship |
| Seth Rollins (C) |
vs |
AJ Styles |
| PREDICTION: Seth & AJ could be an awesome dream match at a bigger PPV (Summerslam) – I would like to think that while Seth retains, it is going to open a bigger can of worms and this is going to get played out until Summerlam and I am on board for this. Seth to retain! |
And that is my predictions for WWE Money in the Bank 2019!
