Money In The Bank 2020: 5 matches WWE could book for the PPV

There might be a clue in the poster.
There might be a clue in the poster.

WWE's first pay-per-view after WrestleMania 36 is Money in the Bank, which will take place at the company's Corporate Headquarters in around three weeks. It will certainly be different from other editions of the 'Big Five' event and things could get very interesting.

Aside from the two Money in the Bank ladder matches, WWE only has two other matches booked. Bray Wyatt, his normal self, will take on Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship, while Bayley defends her SmackDown Women's Championship against Tamina.

The match card for a Money in the Bank pay-per-view is usually stacked, thanks to its emergence as the fifth most important event on the WWE calendar. Therefore, it seems pretty likely that WWE will fill the card with some interesting matches.

These matches have been teased, with a possibility that all of them will happen at the "Titan Towers".

Here are five matches that WWE could book for Money In The Bank 2020.


#5 The New Day vs The Miz and John Morrison vs The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)

This match could finally happen.
This match could finally happen.

This story has been going on for a month or so, with both members of each team taking part in two separate triple threat matches for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. This is because The Miz apparently fell ill before WrestleMania.

One member each represented their team at 'Mania, while the other did so on this week's episode of SmackDown. John Morrison retained the titles at the Show of Shows. However, Big E won the second triple threat, earning the New Day their 8th tag title reign.

But there is one chapter left in this story. Miz and Morrison will want a rematch for the SmackDown Tag Titles, while Jey Uso was not pinned. We could finally see the triple threat tag match that was initially promised, at Money in the Bank.

These three teams are all pretty great, so expect one hell of a match filled with spots and storytelling.

#4 Street Profits vs Viking Raiders (RAW Tag Team Championship)

These two teams have a history.
These two teams have a history.

The RAW tag team division has seen a face change since Rezar from AOP went down with an injury. Akam is now off TV and Murphy hasn't been seen since then as well. A couple of interesting teams have entered the fray in the past month.

Zelina Vega's squad of Andrade, Angel Garza, and Austin Theory has challenged the Street Profits and may do so again in the near future. Ricochet and Cedric Alexander are also a tandem now, but the top contenders for the RAW Tag Titles could be former Champions, the Viking Raiders.

They are once again a threat on the RAW brand, with Bianca Belair urging Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to take them seriously. If given time, Street Profits vs Viking Raiders could be a great match.

There is also some history between them, aside from the time when Erik and Ivar squashed the current tag Champions. The Viking Raiders vacated the NXT Tag Team Championship instead of putting the Street Profits over, so this could be a significant victory for Ford and Dawkins.

#3 Mandy Rose vs Sonya Deville

A well-told story.
A well-told story.

WWE has done a stellar job with the entire storyline with Otis and Mandy Rose. It featured some of the best long-term storytelling in recent WWE history, with everything coming to a head at WrestleMania 36.

Two nights earlier, Sonya Deville was outed as the one who initially sabotaged Rose's budding relationship with Otis. And at 'Mania, Rose came out and slapped Deville, before joining up with Otis and giving him a kiss.

But the story is not over for 'Fire and Desire'. Deville cut a magnificent promo on her former best friend, one that could launch her into becoming a star in the SmackDown women's division. There is incredible tension between the two of them, and things could come to a head at Money in the Bank.

As of now, neither Mandy Rose nor Sonya Deville has been scheduled for a qualifying match. So the two of them could have a grudge match at the show, to put a ribbon on this incredibly compelling story. Maybe, Otis and Dolph Ziggler could get involved as well, making this a mixed tag team match.

#2 Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins (WWE Championship)

We meet again.
We meet again.

This match is pretty much a lock for Money in the Bank, as RAW ended with Seth Rollins stomping Drew McIntyre twice. This will be a great first pay-per-view title defense for the current WWE Champion after his reign began in the main event of WrestleMania 36.

McIntyre even defeated the Big Show after winning the title from Lesnar, impressing the WWE Universe even further. And now, the Scottish Terminator is most likely facing the 'Monday Night Messiah', even though he lost to Kevin Owens at WrestleMania.

Despite that defeat to KO, Rollins remains the biggest full-time star on RAW, aside from Randy Orton and arguably McIntyre himself. This match is also pretty fresh, as previous bouts between McIntyre and Rollins saw each of them in different roles.

Hopefully, this sets the tone for a stellar run with the WWE Championship for Drew McIntyre, who has been on fire in 2020. Seth Rollins' record of winning at every Money in the Bank event he is a part of is in jeopardy.

#1 Charlotte Flair vs Io Shirai (NXT Women's Championship)

This might happen at Money in the Bank.
This might happen at Money in the Bank.

You might be confused, but don't be. WWE has given a couple of clues that Charlotte Flair vs Io Shirai might take place at Money in the Bank.

For starters, Charlotte won the NXT Women's Championship from Rhea Ripley, at WrestleMania. Plus, a match as big as this one should take place on a bigger stage than an empty Performance Center for NXT. WWE HQ is the biggest stage possible at this time, so Io Shirai's big title challenge could take place there.

And perhaps, the biggest clue that Charlotte vs Shirai may actually happen at Money in the Bank, is the inclusion of the Queen on the pay-per-view poster, instead of RAW Women's Champion, Becky Lynch. That might be a subtle, but intentional, touch by WWE. It doesn't seem like a coincidence.

The title match is yet to be locked in for a certain date after the 'Joshi Judas' won the 6-woman ladder match on a TakeOver edition of NXT. And with Charlotte remaining on RAW with the title, the NXT Women's Championship could be defended all across WWE.

There is a chance that Charlotte Flair vs Io Shirai does not happen at Money In The Bank, but the signs are certainly there.

An unexpected name just challenged Randy Orton RIGHT HERE.
