Ranking the 4 likeliest winners of the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match and booking their eventual cash-in

Lots
Lots of potential winners here

The talent who will take to the ring on Sunday for the second (technically, third) ever Women's Money in the Bank ladder match is unbelievable. It shows how far the women of WWE have come over the course of this decade. From the excellent character work of Alexa Bliss and the risk-taking ability of Sasha Banks to the crisp in-ring work of Becky Lynch and the big star feel of Charlotte Flair, there is a host of names and talent in this match.

However, WWE must choose the right person to hold the briefcase. The Money in the Bank briefcase is a career-changing proposition, but it could all change after a couple of careless booking decisions.

Carmella may be the Smackdown Women's Champion, but it is anyone's guess what her standing will be after she loses the belt. The briefcase should be awarded to someone who is, or is likely to be, ready for the main event run and will be able to maintain their place at the top of the card.

It could be the pathway to greatness for some women and a ticket to redemption for the others. Here are four candidates who are likely to become the second ever Miss Money in the Bank, and an idea of how their cash-in would be like if they do win the ladder match.


#4 Ember Moon

WWE's newest female call-up from NXT could have a quick rise

Ember Moon may have just debuted on Raw two months ago, but she is ready. Her look gives a unique dimension to both her character and the women's division as a whole. It is not like she needs to cash in the briefcase immediately.

Moon could work on various aspects of her game and improve herself as a WWE performer while being groomed to be a champion. She also has a finisher which is made of gold. The Eclipse might just be the best-looking finishing move in WWE today.

If WWE does decide to put the briefcase on her, it would be a signal of intent. It would show that they are serious in pushing Ember all the way to the Moon.

Okay, I feel bad about that pun, but WWE won't if they book her to win the ladder match on Sunday.

Moon's performance is one of the more exciting prospects of the multi-woman match, as she should be allowed to showcase her excellent skills and be part of some breathtaking high-spots. Hopefully, we see an Eclipse off the ladder or something.

Ember Moon's cash-in: After a few months of being groomed to become an effective champion and a reign of dominance from Nia Jax, Moon decides to put an end to the bullying.

A prior announcement for the cash-in on a future pay-per-view, maybe Hell in a Cell or TLC, would build up anticipation for the match. Moon would win the Raw Women's Championship after an unpredictable match, ending the reign of the bully Jax.

This would set up a great babyface moment, as the fans would be behind her after announcing her MITB cash-in beforehand.

#3 Charlotte Flair

The Queen could add to her long list of impressive accolades
The Queen could add to her long list of impressive accolades

When Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka at WrestleMania 34, we all saw the advent of a WWE legend and the female face of the company.

However, Charlotte has seen her stock tumble down after her monumental victory. She lost her Smackdown Women's title to Carmella just two nights later, before losing to her again in the rematch.

Nobody expected Charlotte to lose fairly cleanly to Carmella at Backlash. The Queen also tapped out against Becky Lynch a week ago on Smackdown.

It is quite the surprise to see the person who beat Asuka losing quite a few matches on television and pay-per-view.

Perhaps this could all lead to a Charlotte Flair victory at Money in the Bank. It is not at all out of the question, especially since you look at what she has accomplished in the WWE so far.

Charlotte is the only woman who has completed the Women's Grand Slam of winning the NXT, Divas, Raw and Smackdown Women's Championships. Charlotte will find her way back to the Smackdown Women's title picture and the briefcase could map the road out for her.

Charlotte Flair's cash-in: Just like Moon, Charlotte is an honourable babyface and would not cash her briefcase in unannounced unless she turns heel, which is highly unlikely at this moment.

The Queen would announce her MITB cash-in for Summerslam in a hotly-anticipated rematch against Asuka.

These two could be able to steal the show together again, but this time we have a different result.

Charlotte would become the first Miss Money in the Bank to fail her cash-in, but only after a spectacular match with the Empress of Tomorrow. This would build up support for Charlotte and anticipation for her eventual title win.

#2 Natalya

The Queen of Harts is a likely candidate to win the ladder match

Natalya has been involved in the build for the Raw Women's Championship match at the Money in the Bank, which makes a victory for her incredibly likely heading into Chicago.

She has been portrayed as a strong force in the Raw women's division and looks set to be a big part of the title scene over the summer.

Natalya has been a part of WWE for around ten years now, but she still lacks that one defining main roster match.

For all her contributions to women's wrestling, Natalya has often been forgotten and left in the dark. She did get a title run last year after she defeated Naomi to win the Smackdown Women's Championship at Summerslam.

The Queen of Harts could return to the Biggest Party of the Summer with the championship in hand if she can climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase. Her expected showdown with best friend Ronda Rousey could have a championship buzz to it.

Natalya's cash-in: Natalya would come to the ring to celebrate with Ronda Rousey as she topples Jax to win the Raw Women's title, but quickly blindsides her with the MITB briefcase.

After a short but nail-biting bout, Rousey thwarts Natalya's cash-in and retains the title. This branches out into a title feud between two former friends at Summerslam, giving Natalya the defining match of her WWE career. It's fair to say that she deserves it.

#1 Becky Lynch

It's high time this happens again
It's high time this happens again

Winning the Money in the Bank ladder match does not only make careers. It helps to revitalise them as well, and one superstar who needs a change more than others is Becky Lynch.

She was the first-ever Smackdown Women's Champion and was supposed to be the front-runner of the Blue brand's female division.

However, she has been passed by others and has not been able to reclaim her title. It's a shame, really.

At a time where WWE would want to showcase their best female wrestlers while developing others in the process, one of the best they have has been sitting on the sidelines for too long now.

Lynch has been giving nothing of meaning for over a year now, except for being the captain of Team Smackdown at Survivor Series and getting eliminated in mere minutes. It is a crime that a wrestler so talented, in all aspects really, is not being utilised nearly as well enough.

Winning MITB would do absolute wonders for Lynch as it would make her stand out and be in line for a title run in the future.

Out of all the choices, Becky is the best one. She is liked by the fans, a worthy candidate to be champion, a great wrestler and talker, and she would be an extremely fresh face to receive a push as fans haven't seen her in a starring role on Smackdown since before WrestleMania 33. This is the time, for Lynch to regain her momentum and carve her path to greatness.

Becky Lynch's cash-in: As we all know, Lynch is best friends with Charlotte. Therefore, a very simple story can be told. Charlotte regains the Smackdown Women's Championship against Asuka or Carmella, solidifying herself as the Woman, before Becky runs down and pummels her with the MITB briefcase.

Becky turns heel and wins the championship and just like that, we get a hot feud between two former friends which guarantees good wrestling and good storytelling. Book it WWE, it will be Straight Fire!
