WWE Money in the Bank is making headlines all around the world, and the spotlight is all on Naomi right now. The Women’s MITB ladder match kicked off the action for the night, and Naomi managed to overcome the odds and ended up winning the match at the premium live event.
Many fans had speculated on the possibility of The Glow winning the briefcase. The star has done a tremendous job as a heel over the past few weeks and has managed to make headlines with her performances. With a victory at WWE Money in the Bank, Naomi finally gets a chance to become the Women’s Champion once again.
However, there were other stars who could have been a better option for a Money in the Bank victory. Let’s check out a few names from the match who could have ended up being a better name for the massive win.
#3. Former WWE Money in the Bank winner Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss has quietly returned to WWE programming but hasn’t been treated like the multi-time champion she is. Since her return at Royal Rumble, Bliss has rarely gotten things going her way and has been putting over every star that she is competing against. Winning the Money in the Bank contract could’ve been a game-changer.
The star made history when she won the Money in the Bank contract last time, and it has been years since she's had a World Championship around her waist. The star deserves a title win more than anyone on the roster right now.
Rather than Naomi picking up the win, Bliss could have been a much better option for the victory. After years without a title and little creative direction, this would’ve been the perfect time to reward Bliss with a career reset and give fans what they have been waiting for.
#2. Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez has quickly risen through the ranks, impressing both in NXT and on the main roster. Her performances have been incredible over the past few months, and the star has managed to make plenty of fans since her main roster debut.
While some might say it’s too soon to hand her the briefcase, WWE could have let her win the Money in the Bank ladder match in Los Angeles and booked her just like Tiffany Stratton last year. A possible victory would have been a surprise and could have ended up giving her the boost she needed to take her career to a whole new level.
A possible victory would have put Perez on top of the women’s roster with some of the most compelling storylines playing out for her.
#1. Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley has been out of the title picture for weeks, and now that she doesn’t have a singles feud going on, there’s no better way to launch her comeback than a dominant Money in the Bank victory.
Rhea Ripley has already proved that she can take the weight of the women’s division on her back and make headlines with her performances all around the world. The star is loved by fans and could have been the perfect option to win the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match this year.
Considering the path she has been on for the past few months, Ripley could have added the massive victory to her resume and possibly taken the women’s division to a whole new level. Fans will have to wait and see how WWE books Naomi with the contract now.
