4 Best options to win either of the Money in the Bank ladder matches

Picking the right people to win the Money in the Bank ladder matches can either help or hinder the WWE. If they choose a new and exciting star who hasn't been a major champion yet, it gives some fans a sense of excitement. The anticipation for the eventual cash-in would be huge. The field is filled with several superstars in each match that have not had major title runs.

In the ladies' match, Mandy Rose, Ember Moon and Dana Brooke have yet to taste main-roster gold. For the men, Andrade, Ali, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre and Ricochet have not been WWE or Universal Champion. Except for possibly Brooke and Corbin, any one of those superstars would be intriguing options to walk away with their respective briefcases.

If they have a person who has had several title reigns already to win the briefcase, like Randy Orton or Alexa Bliss, it hinders the product and the WWE's own ability to propel new wrestlers to stardom. While Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman have both never had main title reigns, they were newer superstars to push over the last two years.

Unfortunately for one reason or another, both men failed in their respective cash-ins. The WWE needs to get both winners right this year in order to set themselves up for what could be an exciting second half of the year.

2019 has started off where 2018 ended - with ratings dropping to levels that don't reflect well on WWE. If they want to turn things around, these four following superstars would be the best choices to win either of the ladder matches at MITB.

Bayley

Is the Hugger slated to make a bigger impact on SmackDown rather than losing to Lynch and Flair?

Bayley's move to SmackDown is still only a month old, but it was something that needed to be done. She had been on Raw since the brand split and had faced everyone on the show at one point or another. Although she had fallen out of the title picture, she was still a reliable piece of the division and the fans were still behind her.

Once her move was made official on SmackDown, it was both exciting and confusing due to the current situation involving her best friend, Sasha Banks. Was Bayley 'on her own' now and not a tag team superstar any more? Would she get some chances that might have eluded her on Raw over the last year or so?

Bayley immediately stepped up to the current SmackDown Women's Champion, Becky Lynch, and instantly regained some credibility as a player in the division. Ember Moon also stepped up to Lynch and announced herself as a member of the blue brand.

A reboot for 'the Hugger' has been long overdue as she had become somewhat of a punching bag for most of the heels on Raw. She's still one of the most talented ladies in the division and it's been a while since she was champion on Raw.

Winning the Money in the Bank ladder match would not only revitalize her character but also her career. If she wins and cashes in, would it be the impetus for a potential heel turn? Would she still be booked as the fun-loving babyface if she successfully cashed-in?

There are many possible storylines that would come out of a Bayley win and cash-in, and she's more than deserving of winning the briefcase. Unlike Carmella when she won, Bayley is currently a credible option as champion and it would be something that is long overdue.

Drew McIntyre

It's time to pull the trigger on the Scottish Psychopath as the top heel on Raw.

While some people would still like to see Strowman as Universal Champion or Balor get another shot in the main event thanks to a briefcase, those two aren't likely to win. Mr. McMahon isn't a huge fan of Balor's size and Strowman would have already been Universal Champion if that's the direction Creative wanted to take.

One man who has been adamant about both changing the culture in the locker room and lighting fires under the roster is Drew McIntyre. He's someone that WWE could easily build around, and unlike Corbin or Bobby Lashley, he clicks with fans who are followers of character work.

Corbin is annoying because he's annoying, not because he's a fantastic heel. Kevin Owens is a fantastic heel because he's a master at his craft. Corbin just garners sighs from most of the audience. Lashley has everything a WWE superstar should have - except for a personality. He's like plain yogurt - pretty good when paired with other ingredients but pretty boring by itself. He just doesn't excite the fans like McIntyre can and does.

There have even been rumblings backstage about 'creating a huge new star' out of the winner of the briefcases, and WWE desperately needs to do that. The best option for the men in that regard would be McIntyre, he's already been terrorizing Monday nights and would be cemented as the top heel in WWE if he won the briefcase and eventually cashed in on Seth Rollins.

Ember Moon

WWE needs some new blood atop the women's divisions and Moon would be a perfect choice.

Like Bayley, Moon was given a fresh start on SmackDown during the Superstar Shake Up. She had never really been thrust into the title scene on Raw and she got hurt at the Royal Rumble. While she was an ally at times to Ronda Rousey during Rousey's title run, she was one of the few women who didn't get a shot at Rousey while she was champ.

If WWE wants to increase its ratings and get some fans invested in things again, then new superstars need to be pushed on both Raw and SmackDown. Instead of immediately crowning Charlotte Flair as champion yet again, they need to try some different superstars in the title picture.

Mandy Rose is slowly building herself up into a credible threat and Moon is already someone who is tailor-made for a title run. She was among the top performers in NXT and she gave Asuka a run for her money when 'the Empress of Tomorrow' was still booked as a world-beater.

Although Moon still needs a little work on the mic, she's extremely popular and talented and would be a great choice to win the ladies' MITB match. She hasn't had a run atop the women's divisions and she would have fantastic matches with anyone and everyone on the blue brand.

Andrade

El Idolo has been getting more mic time recently.

If you aren't a fan of Andrade the character, then you have to at least be a fan of Andrade the wrestler. When some superstars literally don't do their best speaking with their words, then they need to speak with their moves and be amazing in the ring. Andrade is just that.

His matches with Rey Mysterio and his involvement in the Fatal Four Ways for the United States Championship before WrestleMania were proof of that. And if you followed him in NXT and saw him battle McIntyre, Johnny Gargano and Aleister Black, you are ahead of the curve of knowing his greatness.

Andrade seems like he's on the cusp of the main event, and the fact that he's already mixed it up with the likes of AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Finn Balor prove that he belongs in the conversation for title shots. His heel-work and lack of respect for everyone fits perfectly with a heel winning the briefcase and cashing in. He's also someone who might be featured more going forward on Fox.

If WWE is adamant about creating a new superstar out of this year's MITB and they have been trying to recapture Mysterio's magic for years, they might have the perfect choice in front of them in 'El Idolo'. More Zelina Vega wouldn't hurt the title picture either.
