3 Things Possible at WWE Money in the Bank 2019

With WrestleMania 35 and all of its fallout firmly in the rear-view mirror, it is time for WWE’s unofficial fifth “major” pay-per-view with Money in the Bank. The event will emulate live from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut this Sunday.

Money in the Bank is one of the most anticipated events on the WWE calendar, as fans get not one, but two ladder matches that always deliver and gives us a look at the next possible World Champion. This year's show is set to be another memorable one as the card is pretty solid from top to bottom. There is a total of ten matches on this year's card.

On the RAW side of the show, Samoa Joe will defend his United States Championship against Rey Mysterio in a WrestleMania rematch. In another rematch from WrestleMania, The Miz will take on Shane McMahon in a steel cage match. Becky Lynch will defend her RAW Women’s Championship against Lacey Evans. In the main event for the red brand, Seth Rollins will defend the Universal Championship against AJ Styles in what many are considering a dream match.

On the Smackdown side of things, Roman Reigns will take on Elias in a grudge match. Pulling double duty, Becky Lynch will defend the Smackdown Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair. In the main event for the blue brand, Kofi Kingston will defend the WWE Championship against Kevin Owens.

In addition to a Cruiserweight Championship match between Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari is the main attraction to the show, which is the two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches. In the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match, we will see Natalya, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, and Dana Brooke from RAW take on Carmella, Ember Moon, Bayley, and Mandy Rose from Smackdown. In the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, RAW’s Baron Corbin, Drew Mcintyre, Braun Strowman, and Ricochet will take on Smackdown’s Finn Balor, Randy Orton, Ali, and Andrade.

With all of that being said, here are three things possible for this Sunday’s pay-per-view. Leave your thoughts and predictions in the comments below and be sure to stay tuned to Sportskeeda for the latest breaking news and updates as Money in the Bank draws closer.

#3 Becky Lynch will retain the RAW Women's Championship, but lose the Smackdown Women's Championship

.

After her historic win at WrestleMania and winning both the RAW and Smackdown Women’s Championship, Becky Lynch will be pulling double duty at Money in the Bank as she defends the RAW Women’s Championship against Lacey Evans and the Smackdown Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair. While her two reigns are just beginning, I see Becky dropping one of her titles and that title is likely to be the Smackdown Women’s title.

Lynch’s feud with Lacey Evans is new and refreshing, not to mention that their characters perfectly match each other as Lacey’s “Lady” gimmick works well against Becky’s “The Man” gimmick. Meanwhile, Becky and Charlotte Flair have been feuding on and off for months on now and it is getting stale at this point. Becky and Charlotte need to be separated for quite a while and Money in the Bank is the perfect chance to do that.

What I see happening is Becky will defend the RAW Women’s title first against Lacey, which will go to a dusty finish so their feud can continue. After the match I see Lacey hitting the Women's’s Right, which will knock out Becky long enough so Charlotte can come out and pick up the pieces. While I don’t see Becky losing quickly, I see Charlotte making quick work of her either way to win the Smackdown Women’s Championship and allowing Becky to focus on RAW and Lacey Evans.

#2 Bayley will win the women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match

-

If Charlotte Flair does indeed win the Smackdown Women’s Championship, a perfect first feud for her would be Bayley and a perfect way to do that is to have Bayley win the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match. Out of all of the women in this year’s match, it really boils down to two options when you think about it, and those women are Bayley and Ember Moon.

Natalya, Naomi, Alexa Bliss and Carmella are all former Women’s Champions and really have no reason to win Money in the Bank, not to mention they have no build behind their characters at the moment. Dana Brooke seems to be being built up at the moment, but I don’t think now is the time to pull the trigger on her. Mandy Rose seems to be being built too, either be in a feud with Sonya DeVille, as they have had on and off tension lately and Sonya wasn’t happy that Mandy is in the match and not her.

Another option for Mandy is for her and Sonya to have a feud with Asuka and Kairi Sane since Paige is managing them and Sonya and Mandy are “jealous” that Paige chose Asuka and Sane over them. That leaves Ember Moon and Bayley. While Ember is a great wrestler, she lacks microphone skills and really hasn’t had time to get any traction behind her just yet.

Meanwhile, Bayley has been built up lately since being moved over to Smackdown. She has more of an edge now and has been in the ring with both Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. While the “old” Bayley wouldn’t cash in on someone while they are down, the new and edgier Bayley might just do that and a Bayley and Charlotte Flair feud would be very interesting since we haven’t seen it in quite a while.

#1 Brock Lesnar will cause chaos in the Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles match

-

While many fans seem to think that either AJ Styles or Seth Rollins will turn heel during their match at Money in the Bank, I think another option is more likely and most fans won’t be happy with it. I have a feeling that Brock Lesnar will return and cause a no finish in the match, much like he did last year during Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman’s Hell in a Cell match.

Since the news was broken a couple of weeks ago that Lesnar is retiring from MMA, the speculation has been that a WWE return is imminent for him. What added more fuel to that fire is that Lesnar has been officially announced for WWE’s Saudi Arabia show next month. While it is unknown what match he will be in or what he will do, the most logical placement for Lesnar is the Universal Championship match. Lesnar has some unfinished business with Rollins, especially since Seth didn’t win 100% clean at WrestleMania.

I can see Lesnar coming out towards the end of the match and giving both Rollins and Styles an F5, thus ending the match in a non-finish. This could easily lead to a Triple Threat for the title at Saudi Arabia. What happens after that is anyone’s guess, but don’t be surprised if "The Beast Incarnate” returns this Sunday.
