3 Ways Braun Strowman could lose his Money In The Bank contract at SummerSlam

The WWE Universe is within sniffing distance of WWE's next pay-per-view SummerSlam. We are just two weeks away from witnessing multiple epic match-ups.

Recently, the WWE made a historic announcement on Monday Night Raw that there will indeed be an all-women's pay-per-view this year - this October to be specific - named "Evolution". Regardless, this was not the only shocking announcement WWE made that night.

They also confirmed a rather intriguing match-up for this month's SummerSlam PPV.

After repeated beatings at the hands of Braun Strowman, Kevin Owens appeared to have gotten fed up of "Mr. Monster In The Bank". Owens demanded a match with Strowman for SummerSlam - pitching the stipulation that should he defeat Strowman, the latter would be stripped of his Money In The Bank contract.

RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon obliged, and immediately confirmed this match to take place at SummerSlam with the aforementioned stipulation in effect.

The interesting thing about this match is not only that Strowman's Money In The Bank contract will be on the line, but also that should he lose even by way of Disqualification, Owens would then be handed the MITB contract.

Following the aforementioned announcement by Stephanie McMahon, the professional wrestling community was set abuzz by rumors that Strowman might lose his MITB contract to Owens at SummerSlam. Needless to say, fans are curious to know how this match will end, and whether or not Strowman is going to lose his coveted briefcase against Owens.

Today, we take a look at the three possible ways in which Braun Strowman could lose his WWE Money In The Bank contract at SummerSlam 2018.

#3 Kevin Owens' clean victory

Kevin Owens is as dangerous as he is cunning

Presently, though it may appear that Kevin Owens is being portrayed as a rather cowardly heel, the possibility of KO defeating any given WWE Superstar without using any nefarious means is indeed realistic.

In other words, Owens could beat his SummerSlam opponent 'clean'--without cheating in any way, shape or form.

While the odds of Owens defeating Strowman clean are very low--so to speak--one ought to note that KO has defeated several notable WWE Superstars over the course of his storied career. Irrespective of what has transpired between Owens and Strowman in their ongoing storyline thus far, the WWE could choose to book KO strong and have him go over "The Monster Among Men".

However, the chances of this happening are incredibly low.

Nevertheless, we can always expect something shocking from the WWE. After all, the unpredictability and chaos is what has always made the pro-wrestling world love the WWE.

Only a few Superstars have been able to defeat Strowman clean without any outside interference. However, WWE is notorious for having pulled off many shocking things in the past--And the swerve of KO beating Strowman clean, might happen at "The Biggest Party of the Summer".

#2 Braun Strowman gets Disqualified

The Steel Cage match between Kevin Owens and Braun Strowman ended with Owens crashing through the announcer's table

In recent times, a rather worrying trend which has come to the forefront is that of Braun Strowman getting himself disqualified, due to his actions in his matches. Regardless of both the fans and experts treating Strowman as the top star now, the fact remains that he has lately ended up on the losing end on more occasions than one--be it by way of DQ or Count-Out.

Recently at WWE's Extreme Rules PPV, the WWE Universe witnessed a Steel Cage match between Kevin Owens and Braun Strowman. Strowman was dominant throughout, however, went on to lose this match after throwing Owens off the top of the cage.

KO crashed through the announcer's table and was laid out in a heap, however, declared the winner owing to the fact that his feet touched the ground before Strowman's did. Additionally, Strowman lost yet another match, this time on RAW, by way of Count-Out.

A bizarre Strowman loss might very well happen at SummerSlam too--Perhaps a situation in which Owens frustrates Strowman; leading to the latter unintentionally breaking a rule and getting himself disqualified.

As noted, Strowman will lose his Money In The Bank briefcase even if the match ends by way of Disqualification. Hence, this might be a realistic possibility in their upcoming match.

#1 Outside interference by "The Modern Day Maharajah" Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal and Braun Strowman recently faced each other in a match on Monday Night RAW

It was on last week's episode of Monday Night Raw, that we saw a match between Jinder Mahal and Braun Strowman. As the match began, all of a sudden, Kevin Owens interfered and grabbed Strowman's Money In The Bank Briefcase; trying to flee with it.

However, Strowman immediately noticed it, and chased Owens in order to retrieve his Money In The Bank briefcase.

While he may have gotten his briefcase back, chasing after Owens cost Strowman the match against Mahal by way of Count-Out. Considering this rather subtle cue by WWE--perhaps the promotion could be teasing an angle whereby Mahal would help Owens win his SummerSlam match, akin to how Owens also helped him defeat Strowman.

"The Modern Day Maharajah" interfering in Strowman vs. Owens, and helping the latter beat Strowman could very well be the scene this August 19th at SummerSlam.
