Money in the Bank has become one of the marquee events on the WWE calendar, as the Money in the Bank Ladder Match is often one of the more interesting bouts of the year, and allows the WWE to elevate young performers that otherwise may not get the chance.
It's done so much for so many performers, and after Alexa Bliss and Carmella have taken the first two bouts, the WWE have plenty of choices for #3, and if they use it wisely, they could create a star for years to come.
So without further ado, read along as we look to the Money in the Bank PPV and analyze the top 5 options for the WWE and to who they should crown Ms. Money in the Bank for the year 2019.
#5 Ruby Riott
The Riott Squad are one of the most entertaining stars of the WWE right now, as Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan are all incredible talents, but together, they make what could be an unstoppable group if booked properly. While all three have the talent, the leader and namesake, Ruby Riott has everything the WWE look for, and with her unique look, it's about time they give her the push she deserves.
It would be a major mistake for the WWE to break them up in the superstar shakeup, because they're so good together, but as we've seen with Kofi Kingston, a group working together to get someone to the top is very effective, and we could see the same thing here.
The WWE need to give the Riott Squad some momentum in the near future, and working together to get Ruby to the top makes complete sense, and with Billie Kay and Peyton Royce holding the Tag Team Championships, The Squad could look to reign supreme over all of WWE in 2019.
#4 Kairi Sane
Kairi Sane is one of the most talented and exciting wrestlers in the entire WWE, and after her run down in NXT, it's easy to see her upside. And what better way to get her main roster career started than becoming the third Ms. Money in the Bank?
The Pirate Princess combines incredible likability with amazing in-ring skill and the best elbow drop in the wrestling business. It's clear she'll be a star on the main roster.
Due to the way Asuka has been booked since coming to the main roster, many people will be skeptical about the chances that Sane becomes a star, but the WWE have been dedicated to booking their women better, and that gives Kairi a chance. Like Bayley before her, Kairi works best as an underdog fighting from the bottom, and if the WWE can play to this, she'll become as sympathetic and likable as there is on the main roster, so she's always a chance, but we won't get too excited until we see it for ourselves.
#3 Nikki Cross
Nikki Cross is one of the most unique characters in the WWE today, and when she's given significant stories to tell, she's one of the most entertaining performers in the world (just take a look at her Last Woman Standing match with Asuka down in NXT).
During her time on the main roster, Cross has certainly stood out among the rest, and it's about time she gets a significant push, and if anyone can stand out and star in a Ladder match, it's the wild Cross.
She will need to be paired back up with Sanity if they are to gain any traction on the main roster, but that seems unlikely considering the WrestleMania tag team scene, so she's going to have to succeed on her own.
The WWE have been hesitant to push such unique characters in the past before, but Cross is just too entertaining to ignore, and it's clear she's got a very bright future in the WWE.
#2 Shayna Baszler
While the women of WWE have often been focused on their looks and bikini contests in the past, the tides are changing to the best in-ring performers, and when it comes to the legitimate style in between those ropes, no female does it better than The Queen of Spades.
She's not yet on the main roster, but given her incredible work and the need to seemingly replace Ronda Rousey (for now), a promotion in next weeks superstar shakeup would be perfect.
Shayna Baszler is hard-hitting and everything she does inside the squared circle is believable, and whether she's on Smackdown Live or RAW, the former MMA star will be dominant.
Shayna has been constantly opportunistic during her latest NXT Women's Championship reign, including surviving a Fatal 4-Way at NXT Takeover: New York, and there's no better spot for such a performer than the Money in the Bank, so Shayna is a great choice this year, with or without Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir by her side.
#1 Ember Moon
Ember Moon is one of the most athletic and talented females to ever step foot inside a WWE ring, and while she was great in NXT, she hasn't quite found her footing on the main roster yet, and her injury certainly didn't help that.
Her return came at WrestleMania in the women's battle royal, and while she didn't come out on top, she was definitely a star in the match, and it's got us thinking that the War Goddess is in for a big 2019.
Obviously, it's unlikely that she'll be taking a title away from Becky Lynch in the near future, but if they can build her properly as Ms. Money in the Bank, a showdown with The Man could be money.
With Ronda Rousey gone for the time being, the WWE need to step up and get some more faces in the main event women's scene, and with her talent and fan support, Moon is that person, and this is the perfect place to get that process started.
