WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view takes over Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas this weekend. It boasts the annual Money in the Bank contract ladder matches.
The field is already set for the men's match and there is just one participant left to be announced for the women. However, 2019's pay-per-view made it clear that other stars could enter the match and it would still be within the rules.
Trending
WWE's Money in the Bank ladder match doesn't actually have any rules, except that the winner has to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase.
This means that interference and substitutions are allowed. In 2019, Brock Lesnar proved this when he entered the match just as Mustafa Ali was about to win it and took the contract.
This opens up several possibilities for this year's match since many superstars have a score to settle.
#5. Former WWE Champion Edge could enter the match after taking out Seth Rollins
Edge was forced to retire from WWE back in 2011 when it was revealed that the former 11-time World Champion was struggling with Cervical Spinal Stenosis. This didn't prevent Edge from making appearances for the company in the years that followed in a non-physical capacity.
Edge appeared on WWE TV back in 2014, where he was attacked by Seth Rollins. He threatened to Curb Stomp The Rated-R Superstar if John Cena didn't reinstate The Authority.
Cena was left with little choice and now Edge has been cleared to make his return, he hasn't forgotten what The Messiah did to him. The two men had an altercation backstage this past week on SmackDown where the former WWE Champion made it clear that he still remembers.
This weekend, Edge faces Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. If The Rated-R Superstar is unable to win back the championship he never lost, then he could decide to take matters into his own hands.
Dependant on the order of the card, much like he famously did at Elimination Chamber, Edge could take Rollins out and enter the Money in the Bank ladder match in his place.
This would also set up a match between Edge and Rollins which is rumored for SummerSlam next month.
#4. Becky Lynch could return and enter the WWE women's Money in the Bank Ladder match
Becky Lynch has been out of action since May 2020 when she announced she was expecting her first child with fellow WWE Superstar Seth Rollins. At the time, Lynch was RAW Women's Champion and was forced to relinquish the title to Asuka when she went off on maternity leave.
Lynch has since welcomed her daughter and, whilst her partner Seth Rollins has returned to SmackDown, the WWE Universe still awaits the return of The Man.
It's unclear at present if Lynch will return as a face or a heel. Since contractual rematches are no longer a thing in WWE, a return in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match may be the only way she can ensure a shot at the title she never lost.
There are several weak candidates Lynch could pray on and take out of the match like Naomi or Liv Morgan. Otherwise, WWE could wait until the night of the show and announce Lynch as one of the participants.
#3. Baron Corbin could enter the WWE men's Money in the Bank ladder match
Baron Corbin has become a desperate man in recent weeks after losing his King of the Ring crown to fellow WWE star Shinsuke Nakamura.
Corbin made it clear that he needed to be part of the Money in the Bank ladder match this weekend. He is relying on the money that a WWE Championship would offer him, otherwise he could lose his house.
He lost his qualifying match to Nakamura, who also now owns Corbin's car and wears his crown.
Nakamura will be part of this weekend's Money in the Bank ladder match. However, Corbin could reach a point of desperation where he decides to take matters into his own hands.
Nothing is preventing him from taking out Nakamura and Rick Boogs ahead of the match and taking his place. Corbin is a former Money in the Bank winner and knows what it takes to come out on top.
Corbin is in the middle of the worst run of his career and he may well be desperate enough to force his way into the match.
#2. Sami Zayn could enter the WWE men's Money in the Bank ladder match
Sami Zayn has made it clear that there is a conspiracy in WWE surrounding him at present.
The former Intercontinental Champion was unable to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match this year. He was defeated by long-time friend and foe Kevin Owens.
This loss just added to evidence Zayn already had regarding management in WWE and the way that he's not one of the favored stars.
Much like Corbin, Zayn is a desperate man. He could decide to take out Owens, who he doesn't believe deserves to be in the match, so that he has a chance to win the contract.
The Money in the Bank contract could be the only way that Zayn could be handed a WWE Championship match this year.
Zayn could decide that if WWE management are not going to allow him to be part of the match, he will take that opportunity for himself at the expense of his long-time friend and rival.
#1. Riddle could give Randy Orton his spot on the WWE men's Money in the Bank ladder match
Riddle was able to qualify for WWE's Money in the Bank ladder match a few weeks ago on RAW. Later that same night, he inadvertently cost his friend Randy Orton his place in the match.
The following week, Riddle failed to qualify for the match on Orton's behalf, and The Viper has now been missing from WWE TV for several weeks.
Orton was seemingly annoyed with Riddle following his loss a few weeks ago and hasn't been seen since. It's entirely feasible that Orton could return to WWE TV this weekend and ask to take Riddle's place in the match.
Orton is a former 14-time world champion and definitely doesn't need the Money in the Bank contract to earn a world championship shot. That being said, Riddle could hand over his place in the match to Orton since he recently stated that he would "do anything" to get The Viper back.
