4 Reasons why Brock Lesnar will successfully cash in the Money in the Bank contract

Brock Lesnar shocked the world when he won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match at the titular PPV last month. The Beast Incarnate entered the match as Raw's unannounced 4th participant after the original contestant Sami Zayn got taken out earlier that night.

The fans started an uproar on social media after Lesnar won the MITB ladder match. They were critical of the company for giving Lesnar opportunities that could've helped other regular superstars.

Irrespective of the fan backlash, WWE continues to promote Brock Lesnar as Mr. Beast in the Bank. Paul Heyman announced on Twitter Lesnar would cash in the contract on this week's Raw.

Lesnar laid out a vicious attack on Universal Champion Seth Rollins on this week's Raw but refused to cash in the contract even when Rollins was beaten down. Paul Heyman pleaded with Lesnar to go ahead with the cash in, but Lesnar refused and told him to wait until Super ShowDown this Friday.

WWE would know the decision to give Lesnar the MITB contract would cause a huge fan uproar. But they preferred to go with their choice, and there should be a concrete reason behind their decision.

Their next decision would cause an even big fan uproar as things are looking like Brock Lesnar will indeed walk out of Super ShowDown with a world title around his waist. The following four reasons might throw some light on why Lesnar will have a successful MITB cash in.

#4 His retirement from MMA means more time for WWE

DC would be a very relieved man!

The fans who always complain about Brock Lesnar not showing up on Raw every week might have noticed the Beast Incarnate has made four consecutive appearances on WWE television starting from MITB to this week’s Raw.

That's not the Brock Lesnar the fans have been seeing for the past few years. The following could be the reason why we see more Brock Lesnar in our television for the past three weeks.

UFC president Dana White announced last April while talking to ESPN that Brock Lesnar had informed him he has no intention to step back inside the Octagon for a fight and that he had retired.

Brock Lesnar confronted UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 226, and things were looking like Brock Lesnar would make a return to MMA after he dropped the Universal title to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.

Lesnar had even entered the UFC's mandatory anti-doping program anticipating to make a return to the Octagon. But the news of Lesnar's MMA retirement completely caught the fans off guard.

Now that Lesnar will not have to spend his time training for an MMA return it could mean he will now concentrate more on his pro wrestling career.

WWE will make use of this opportunity and try to use Lesnar as a more regular figure, and the chances of seeing him successfully cash in the MITB contract looks brighter now more than ever.

#3 He would add more Star Power when SmackDown Live moves to FOX

WWE's Big Money Deal!

WWE has inked a five-year deal with FOX worth $205 million a year to air SmackDown Live on their network and will move to Friday's starting from October 4th, 2019. With a deal of this magnitude, WWE will do whatever it takes to increase the show’s ratings to do justice to the financial benefit they will reap.

The reason behind Lesnar not cashing in the contract on Seth Rollins on this week's Raw despite Paul Heyman's announcement adds to the speculation that the Beast Incarnate could plan on winning the WWE Championship instead.

With the Wild Card rule in effect, the brand split has seemingly lost its importance. It could be the right opportunity to have Brock Lesnar appear on SmackDown Live as the new WWE Champion.

WWE has already moved their biggest babyface of the company, Roman Reigns, to SmackDown Live, and having Brock Lesnar appear on the blue brand will not be a very tough decision.

#2 He could be a part of a potential title unification match at Survivor Series

WWE had already teased the possibility of a title unification with Rollins and Kingston

With the WWE newest Wild Card rule the brand split is starting to lose its prominence. Maybe WWE’s ploy is to do a natural ending of the brand split and could plan title unification matches for the major men’s & women’s titles at Survivor Series.

Having only one primary champion for both the men's & women's division will not make either brand superior to the other. WWE will look to take the B Show status away from SmackDown Live from this October, and the title unification makes more sense.

Having Lesnar as either the WWE or Universal Champion when the company gets to that point will certainly help the company to maintain the status of both brands after the blue brand's transition.

#1 There will not be another failed cash-in for the third year in a row

3 years in a row would mean disaster for the legacy of the MITB contract

The men's MITB winners of the past two years have failed to become champions despite the advantage of the contract. Baron Corbin in 2017 and Braun Strowman last year did not successfully cash in their MITB contracts.

Since its inception in 2005, winning the MITB ladder match guaranteed the holder becoming a world champion, until John Cena became the first person to cash in the contract unsuccessfully in 2012.

Since then there have been three other unsuccessful cash-ins with Damien Sandow, Baron Corbin, and Braun Strowman. With two of these happening in two successful years, it's unlikely the WWE will do another for the third year in a row.

It would completely tarnish the legacy of the MITB contract, and the match would lose its importance altogether. So Lesnar walking out as Champion when he cashes in the contract is inevitable.
