What is going to happen?

# 10. Big Cass defeats Daniel Bryan

In recent months Daniel Bryan would return to in-ring competition. However, his contract is in dispute. Bryan has yet confirmed his contract details. Nevertheless, Bryan cited he wished to remain with WWE, 'If I'm allowed to wrestle, I'm staying with WWE.' And that's it", (Ringside News, 2018).

During the Superstar Shake-Up, Big Cass debuted on SmackDown Live. His first target was Daniel Bryan whom he attacked backstage. In subsequent weeks Cass stalked Bryan which culminated in a match at Backlash. Following his defeat Bryan would Kayfabe injure Cass' leg.

At present Bryan and Cass' feud is heated. At Money in the Bank, they will face off in singles competition. Although Cass has garnered poor reception recently due to backstage problems, his future is still bright. Their match will be brutal and simplistic due to Cass' limited repertoire. However, Bryan is perhaps the only individual who could improve Cass. Therefore it makes perfect sense for Bryan to lose.

What can we expect?

#9. Seth Rollins defeats Elias

Recently on Raw Seth Rollins would defeat Jinder Mahal. Following his match, Elias would interrupt in an attempt to entertain the crowd. Rollins and Elias will compete at Money in the Bank for the Intercontinental Championship.

This match has immense potential to generate excitement. Furthermore, it would benefit both parties careers. However, don't expect much of a storyline. Elias is extremely popular and can win over any crowd. Moreover, Rollins is garnering the highest degree of interest. Moreover, Elias attacked Rollins recently on Raw.

At Money in the Bank, Rollins is highly likely to retain his championship. Nevertheless, that does not mean he has to be victorious. Elias is an attribute and deserves a decent storyline. Therefore, WWE could book Rollins to lose via DQ, perhaps at the hands of Jinder Mahal. This option develops Elias and maintains Rollins as champion.

What can we expect from WWE?

#8. Bobby Lashley defeats Sami Zayn

Bobby Lashley returned to WWE this year but is lacking direction. On April 23rd in a tag team match, Lashley began feuding with Sami Zayn. Following this match, their feud has been uneventful. Fans have witnessed segments involving Lashley's sisters and Zayn claiming he suffers from vertigo.

At Money in the Bank, their match will afford excitement. However, it must be the culmination of their feud. Nevertheless, it will assist both wrestlers careers. The question is though, where can they go from here?

Regardless of the victor, WWE must begin to utilize these wrestlers correctly. Lashley and Zayn could work as a tag team or in singles competition. Moreover, Zayn has yet to win a championship, which is questionable. The best outcome for WWE would be for Lashley to defeat Zayn.

What can their match provide fans?

#7. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson defeat The Bludgeon Brothers (New SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions)

Harper and Andersen had an excellent match

Since debuting, Luke Harper and Eric Rowan have achieved reasonable success. However, Luke Gallows and Karl Andersen cannot share that notion. Recently this changed when they defeated Jimmy and Jey (The Usos) to earn an opportunity at The Bludgeon Brothers. On SmackDown recently Harper faced off against Karl Anderson.

At Money in the Bank, these teams will compete for the SmackDown Live tag team championship. Their match will afford fans with something new and exciting. The Bludgeon Brothers have defeated multiple teams and been successful. However, can they defeat Gallows and Anderson?

In Japan, Gallows and Andersen plied their trade alongside Finn Balor, forming the Bullet Club. During their time they dominated the tag team division. In WWE fans have yet witnessed their full potential. Now is the right time for them to become tag team champions once again.

Will they topple the Bludgeon Brothers?

#6. Roman Reigns defeats Jinder Mahal (Double Turn)

Roman Reigns is negatively received by fans every week. The WWE Universe seems tired of his constant involvement in the main event. However recent events seem to suggest a change is afoot. Jinder Mahal, another rejected character has begun to show signs of a face turn.

Since his defeat at the Greatest Royal Rumble Reins has been embroiled in a minor feud with Mahal. After weeks of interrupting, each other's matches Reigns and Mahal would clash on Raw, see video below. Presently this feud is ongoing. At Money in the Bank, they will battle once again.

Their match will afford an interesting dynamic. Moreover, it could lead to an epic feud. Roman Reigns' character must change, and the perfect option is to turn him heel. Whereas, Mahal could benefit as a good guy. Looking back at Bret Hart versus Stone Cold at WrestleMania 13, their 'double turn' changed the course of WWE. This arrangement could work with Reigns and Mahal. Interestingly Seth Rollins could factor into this feud considering events on Raw recently.

What will happen at Money in the Bank?

#5. Carmella defeats Asuka by DQ (retains SmackDown Live Women's Championship match)

Asuka and Carmella have an interesting feud

Carmella would bide her time with the Money in the Bank contract. On April 10th Carmella cashed in on Charlotte and became champion. Subsequently, she would retain at Backlash. Throughout her career, she has been the underdog and arguably overlooked. Could this be her year?

At Money in the Bank Carmella will face Asuka in a match announced by Paige last month. In recent weeks, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce have assisted Carmella in degrading Asuka's momentum. However, they have been unsuccessful, see video below.

Their match will provide Carmella with an opportunity to showcase her abilities. Ultimately fans have yet seen her full potential. Carmella's aggressive nature is almost equal to Asuka's. Therefore the drama could be exciting. The best option to finish this match is by Disqualification (DQ), perhaps Charlotte will get her revenge on Carmella. With a DQ finish in favor of Asuka, cements her credibility and maintains Carmella as champion.

Will WWE play it out this way?

#4. Ronda Rousey defeats Nia Jax by Count-our or DQ (championship is retained)

Nia Jax challenged and Ronda Rousey accepted

Nia Jax became Raw Women's champion at WrestleMania 34. In recent weeks, Jax challenged Rousey to a championship match. At Money in the Bank, Rousey gets her shot at championship gold. This match will be interesting.

The build for this match has been short-lived. However, it has been subtle. This approach has protected Rousey's growing character. Nia Jax presently affords Rousey's first official opponent in singles competition. It is an important match.

Both competitors are skilled and can work in the ring, and will complement each other. The outcome needs to be strategic though. Rousey must maintain her legitimacy, and Jax needs to remain strong. Therefore, the match must finish via count-out or Disqualification (DQ). A good option for a DQ could be Stephanie attacking Jax to seek revenge for her arm. Either way, it safeguards both wrestlers credibility. It is too early to crown Rousey as champion. She is not ready.

#3. Shinsuke Nakamura defeats AJ Styles (WWE Championship match)

Will AJ Styles overcome Shinsuke Nakamura?

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have a storied history. They made history at WrestleKingdom, then again at WrestleMania, see video below. However, in recent months their feud has exponentially elevated. Shinsuke Nakamura would develop an ignorance of the English language, see the video below.

At the Greatest Royal Rumble Styles retained his championship, and again at Backlash. Nakamura is now on his fourth attempt at the WWE Championship. Therefore, it is questionable what the future will hold? Due to the investment in Nakamura's character, it is likely he will become champion.

At Money in the Bank Nakamura will clash again will Styles will professional and personal factors involved. Both men know each other's styles. Moreover, they perform excellently together. This match will be a classic Last Man Standing match. The perfect outcome would be a Kinshasa and a ten count for a Nakamura victory.

# 2. A New Day member wins the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match

The Money in the Bank Men's ladder match is going to be exciting. The participants include Braun Strowman, The Miz, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, Rusev, Bobby Roode, and a member of The New Day. Regardless of the victor, their future will be bright.

This promises to be a blend of fast-paced action and high impact. However with the stakes so high, quite literally. It is impossible to predict who is going to be victorious.

At present, there is not a suggestion of who will win the match. However, it should be a member of The New Day. Regardless their choice New Day would be an excellent winner. Firstly, they could enact the 'Freebird rule' with the briefcase. Secondly, they are immensely talented. Overall they are extremely lucrative for the main event.

"Who, who, who, will New Day choose"?

# 1. Natalya wins the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match

Natalya is an extremely talented and worthy performer

The Money in the Bank women's ladder match was revolutionary last year. However, this year the participants include; Ember Moon, Charlotte, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Lana, Naomi, and Sasha Banks. Regardless of the victor, their future will be bright.

Last year Carmella secured victory and would wait almost a year before successfully cashing in on Charlotte. This year the story-lines seem to be lacking between participants. Therefore predicting the winner is difficult. However, it could make it more surprising.

Natalya has lacked a decent direction. However, not many fans realise that she helped train Ronda Rousey. Moreover, they are good friends. Eventually, Rousey will become champion. Therefore, a future feud between them would be epic. Almost a trainer versus student story arc. Thus it makes perfect sense to crown Natalya at Money in the Bank to set up a future feud.

Will WWE follow that path?
