5 Finishes to the Men's Money in the Bank 2020 Ladder Match: SmackDown heel to possibly win briefcase again, Paul Heyman's star to get a big push?

We're set to witness the most unique Money in the Bank match in its 15-year history. Due to the prevailing circumstances, WWE was forced to pre-tape the Money in the Bank ladder matches. As you know, the matches will take place in the WWE Headquarters, where all competitors will start on the ground floor and will have to "climb the corporate ladder", fighting their way to the roof - where the ring, ladders, and briefcases will be placed.

We expect a cinematic-style match-up, similar to the Boneyard match and Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36. It's certainly an exciting concept with a lot of potential - something we wouldn't have imagined until we saw the Boneyard match.

The field of competitors for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match is stacked, with Aleister Black, Rey Mysterio, and AJ Styles representing RAW while King Corbin, Otis, and Daniel Bryan represent the field on SmackDown. There are a lot of possibilities in the match, which is where we look at the possible finishes for the match:

#5. King Corbin grabs the Money in the Bank briefcase...again

King Corbin

King Corbin, or back when he was Baron Corbin, won the briefcase in 2017. It appeared to be the perfect time since WWE was building him to be the next top heel on SmackDown. That didn't pan out as he would have hoped and despite winning the briefcase, he failed to cash in against Jinder Mahal (thanks to a little assistance from John Cena).

He wasn't ready for the spot then and many would argue that he isn't ready now either. He's been an upper midcard heel for a while now and that seems to be the spot he thrives in the most.

Despite this, WWE could pull a shocker and have Corbin be the one to win the briefcase for the second time.

#4. Aleister Black continues his hot streak with a Money in the Bank win

Aleister Black has been on the rise

Aleister Black has been one of the most consistently pushed stars in WWE over the last few months. While he hasn't been in any significant storyline just yet, he's been on a winning streak and has been carefully protected throughout.

It's no secret that he's been one of Paul Heyman's favorites on RAW, with the Executive Director making Black a priority Superstar for the future. The only problem with Black winning the Money in the Bank briefcase is that WWE hasn't done enough to get the larger audience interested in him.

He always gets a good reaction and he's been doing well in the empty arena shows as well. He's one of the more exciting candidates in this year's ladder match and we wouldn't be too surprised to see him winning the entire ladder match and getting ready for a World Championship push.

However, there could be an argument that holding the Money in the Bank briefcase doesn't suit a character like Aleister Black. But he remains one of the favorites.

#3. A big fall before a big win

The supposed set-up

This is the most likely scenario in the finish since there has been a rumor about a potentially big spot in the Money in the Bank 2020 ladder match. The scenario will likely play out with a Superstar plunging to a deep fall.

According to Becky Lynch (as per her interview with TV Insider), Vince McMahon fell off a tower to demonstrate the safety of the spot:

“Vince is such a larger-than-life character. At the same time, I watched him the other day demonstrate falling off a tower at 74-years-old without a bother, brushing his shoulders off and standing up again.”

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirmed this, with a big spot expected to happen at the Money in the Bank 2020 ladder match. There was no specification as to whether it was for the men or women, but you can expect a Superstar taking a huge leap from the tower before the finish.

That would certainly be a great climax to what sounds like an exciting match.

#2. Daniel Bryan gets another shot at gold

Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak

It's been a while since Daniel Bryan was in the WWE title picture. He last held the WWE Championship a year ago before losing it at WrestleMania 36 to Kofi Kingston. While he was an important opponent for 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt during his Universal Championship, Bryan was never going to beat him on the road to WrestleMania.

He challenged for the Intercontinental Championship at The Grandest Stage of Them All but lost to Sami Zayn, after which the latter stopped working in the TV tapings. Bryan has regained some momentum and qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match. While he isn't expected to win the briefcase, it would be an interesting direction for WWE to go in.

Daniel Bryan has been on a consistent World Championship level for close to a decade now and he'll always be in a position to challenge for it or win it. It would be an interesting decision if WWE decides to go with Daniel Bryan as a 2-time Money in the Bank winner. It would put him right in the mix with the likes of Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt.

#1. AJ Styles adds yet another accolade to his WWE career

AJ Styles

AJ Styles made his return to RAW before Money in the Bank a month after his WrestleMania burial in the hands of The Undertaker. He gave The Phenom his best match in seven years and returned to win a Last Chance Gauntlet Match and subsequently take Apollo Crews' spot in the Money in the Bank ladder. match.

It's been over four years since AJ Styles arrived in WWE and he has a lot of accolades already, including two WWE Championship reigns, multiple United States Championship reigns, a WrestleMania main event, and the fact that he's been a consistent, reliable main eventer for his entire run in WWE.

The Boneyard match is one that will always go down in history as the most unique WrestleMania main event and its one that put Styles in another prime position. He's WWE's "Mr. Reliable" and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rewarded with another major accolade. It would likely lead to a third WWE Championship reign for The Phenomenal One.
