WWE Money in the Bank is guaranteed to be an exciting pay-per-view because the crowd is certain to be hot. The WWE Universe has gone too long without experiencing the thrill that comes from experiencing a live pay-per-view (WrestleMania 37 being the glaring exception).
And of course, with due respect to the two title matches, the highlights of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view are the two ladder matches. Each of them offers a shortcut to one lucky man and woman to cash in on the Champions of their respective brands.
In this article, we've outlined 5 ways that WWE could end the men's ladder match. If you have any thoughts about our options or the Money in the Bank pay-per-view as a whole, let us know in the comments below.
PS: Seth Rollins has been left out of contention in this article because he is a heel and so are both of the World Champions right now. And also, the fact that he stood tall to end SmackDown means that he is probably coming up short at the upcoming pay-per-view event.
#5 John Cena returns to WWE and wins the Money in the Bank contract
The rumors are everywhere. John Cena is returning to WWE and he is likely to take on Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. But how does he directly jump back into the title picture?
The simple answer is that he could be the 9th participant in the Money in the Bank ladder match. And yes, he could go on to win the whole thing. Because he is John Cena.
John Cena could then cash in the contract for a potential match at SummerSlam in what would be a marquee match. The face of the company, Roman Reigns, up against WWE's former face, John Frikkin Cena.
#4 WWE straps the rocket on Riddle's back
At Money in the Bank, WWE RAW Superstar Riddle could win it all! WWE officials are clearly high (no pun intended) on him because he can go in the ring and also entertain when it comes to backstage segments on RAW.
Riddle clearly has all the tools to become a future WWE or Universal Champion. For him to hold the Money in the Bank contract for a while and cash in at the opportune time would make all the sense in the world.
#3 Kevin Owens captures the big one at Money in the Bank this year
The crowd clearly loves Kevin Owens. Nobody would complain if he became Mr. Money in the Bank this year.
That said, we've already seen Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens and one has to wonder if WWE will return to this again. Maybe after the draft, Kevin Owens moves to the WWE RAW brand. He could challenge Bobby Lashley or whoever the WWE Champion is at the time, with the constant threat of cashing in on his contract.
#2 Drew McIntyre gets his big Money in the Bank moment in front of fans
Could WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre capture the Money in the Bank contract in front of a live crowd? Remember that his crowning moment, where he dethroned Brock Lesnar to become the WWE Champion happened in front of no fans. The company may want to give him the pop he deserves for carrying RAW on his back during the Pandemic era.
The Money in the Bank contract is also the only way Drew McIntyre can challenge for the WWE Championship once again.
He did lose that 'Last Chance' match to Lashley, after all!
#1 Big E gets that WWE push he has always deserved
WWE SmackDown Superstar Big E broke away from the New Day to become a singles star.
Although he's achieved a modicum of success, winning the Money in the Bank contract will push him to the next level.
Plus, he already has a readymade feud with Paul Heyman, someone he confronted on WWE SmackDown this week.
Could Big E be the man to end Roman Reigns' reign?
