The 2021 Money in the Bank pay-per-view on Sunday will be the first major WWE event after WrestleMania 37 to have a live crowd. Superstars from RAW and SmackDown will collide in high-stakes matches.
Six matches are currently confirmed, including the men's and women's ladder matches for the Money in the Bank contracts. Several new feuds could also be ignited for SummerSlam.
As we draw closer to MITB, Vince McMahon and team might come up with some new ideas at short notice. Here are five last-minute changes WWE could make to Money in the Bank.
#5 New stipulation announced for Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank
Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley will resume their rivalry for the RAW Women's Championship when they go head-to-head in a traditional singles match. Since this will be their second consecutive pay-per-view bout, it's possible that WWE could add a new stipulation.
The two stars put on an incredible performance at WrestleMania 36 last year despite the circumstances. Their WrestleMania Backlash match, however, felt a bit underwhelming and ended up in Ripley getting disqualified.
To prevent this from reoccurring and to ensure a decisive winner, their match at WWE Money in the Bank could be changed to a No Holds Barred match. Charlotte and Rhea could use weapons including the crutch they were beating each other with on RAW last week.
Since this will be their first match in front of a live crowd, it can turn out to be a memorable bout, especially with the added stipulation. WWE could also shock fans by putting the Raw Women's Championship on The Queen once again.
While many people probably won't be happy with that decision, Charlotte's star power will benefit the RAW women's division in the long run.
#4 Sonya Deville gets added to the Money in the Bank ladder match
WWE Superstars Asuka, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Nikki A.S.H., Liv Morgan, Zelina Vega and Natalya have been confirmed for the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The final participant hasn't been announced yet, but there are rumors swirling around that it could be Sonya Deville.
Deville competed in her last match at SummerSlam last August, where she lost to Mandy Rose and was forced to leave WWE. She returned to the company a few months later as an authority figure rather than as a competitor.
Deville has been very impressive in her new position, but many fans are still anticipating her in-ring comeback. She could grant their wish by using her leadership powers to insert herself into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
She could even pull off a Brock Lesnar-esque coup and wait until the closing moments. WWE might not book her to win the contract, but she will still be a great addition.
#3 Brock Lesnar attacks Bobby Lashley at Money in the Bank
Bobby Lashley is currently scheduled to defend his WWE Championship against Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank. The Almighty captured the title back in February and since then he has successfully defended it at WrestleMania 37, WrestleMania Backlash and Hell in a Cell.
His run has been dominant, and it doesn't look like he'll drop the belt anytime soon. While Kofi Kingston is a former WWE Champion himself, he's nowhere near Lashley's level. There's a high chance that Bobby will retain his title at Money in the Bank.
If the men's ladder match takes place before his match, Lashley's reign could be in jeopardy since the MITB winner could cash in the contract the same night. Another setback that The Almighty could face is in the form of the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar could return to the company at Money in the Bank and attack Lashley after his match to set up a feud between the two stars for the WWE Championship. If this happens, we could finally see Brock Lesnar versus Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam for the coveted title.
Lesnar made his last appearance at WrestleMania 36 where he lost his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. According to reports, The Beast Incarnate will be back in WWE soon.
#2 SmackDown Tag Team Championship match added to Money in the Bank
Though six matches are currently confirmed for Money in the Bank, it's possible WWE could add a few more matches to the card. Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik could defend their SmackDown Tag Team Championships against The Usos.
The Mysterios are scheduled to join forces with The Rated-R Superstar Edge to take on The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and Jimmy & Jey Uso) in a six-man tag team match on Friday Night SmackDown this week.
Last week on SmackDown, Edge and the Mysterios laid waste to The Usos while Reigns looked on from a distance. On Friday, The Bloodline will seek retribution.
If they emerge victorious, The Usos could earn the right to challenge for the tag titles at Money in the Bank. It would be awesome if all three wrestlers became champions at the same time. This will allow them to continue dominating the blue brand as the focal point of the show.
#1 Interesting stipulations for Roman Reigns vs. Edge at Money in the Bank
Roman Reigns and Edge will battle each other one-on-one for the first time at Money in the Bank for the Universal Championship. The two wrestlers were originally supposed to collide at WrestleMania 37, but it turned into a triple threat with the addition of Daniel Bryan.
WWE could liven things up by adding a new stipulation to ban Jimmy & Jey Uso from ringside. Or it could be a No Disqualifications match which will permit the use of chairs and sticks. In recent weeks, we have seen Edge using a piece of metal from the a steel chair to lock The Bloodline in a submission hold.
He did the same thing to the Tribal Chief at WrestleMania, which nearly cost Reigns the Universal Championship. The Rated-R Superstar would love to do it again at Money in the Bank, and he can if there are no disqualifications in the match.
