Of all those involved in the match, one particular challenger isn't just there to compete. She is there to win and do so decisively. Former two-time NXT Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler is a threat to win against anyone at any time.

Whether it's a champion vs champion vs champion matchup against Bayley and Becky Lynch at Survivor Series or completely wiping out Bayley on SmackDown, Baszler is playing for keeps. With Money in the Bank approaching Shayna Baszler, should be walking out as the winner of the match.

#5 Next conceivable threat

Over the course of Becky Lynch's championship reign, she has stepped up and faced the best either RAW or Smackdown has had to offer. Whether it was Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Rhea Ripley, or Asuka, Lynch has been victorious.

With WrestleMania now behind them, Baszler carries with her all the qualities necessary to make her the next conceivable threat. Her recent attacks on the likes of Sarah Logan and NXT's Indi Hartwell and her ability to absolutely destroy her opposition's body parts make her frighteningly dangerous.

It is clear that Baszler has now officially transitioned to the RAW brand. Her addition along with the lack of substantial singles challengers at the moment are key reasons for why she should walk away as the winner of the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The recently returned Nia Jax may not be quite ready to be put in a position to win the Money in the Bank quite yet.

#4 Her past NXT success

From almost nearly the time she entered the WWE, Shayna Baszler has carved a path of destruction that has been reflective of being a cage fighter. Despite not winning the Mae Young Classic, it didn't slow her down or even stop her from coming in and tearing through the competition.

Her initial rivalry with Kairi Sane and then championship matches against the likes of Nikki Cross, Mia Yim, and Candice LeRae best represented who she is. A former two-time NXT Women's champion, Baszler would make her opposition snap, tap, and make bones crack.

As she prepares for the upcoming women's Money in the Bank match-up her winning the whole thing based on past success makes complete sense. Baszler's losses in NXT were few and far between. As the consonant winner, Baszler's strength and ability to make her opposition suffer was another example of how good she has been. There was no disputing when Baszler was in an NXT ring there was little chance she wasn't walking out on top.

#3 Could segway into a Four Horsewomen storyline

Fans would love to see this happen

Fans will recall that Baszler came up short against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. Despite losing that match, the matter in which she lost didn't hurt her at all. The roll-up pinfall certainly made to appear like a 'fluke' win for Becky.

That said, Baszler's longstanding friendship with the former RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey could usher in the return of the Baddest Women on the Planet in the WWE. Rousey never had her rematch and in not having that it could be the closure she may need.

Using Rousey as an aid for Baszler could be exactly what may put her over the top. While she was flagged by other Four Horsewomen Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke, the involvement of Rousey would certainly open the door to a bigger storyline.

If all, the noted variables such as Duke, Shafir, Rousey, Flair, Banks, and Bayley could be combined to give the fans something that they have longed to see. A win for Baszler at Money in the Bank could open the door to something bigger.

#2 Her vast experience

While the idea of wanting someone to fail may seem foreign in the case of some, it isn't so for others. Baszler has shown that her competitive pedigree really does stand out. Her list of accomplishments in MMA includes Freestyle Cage Fighting Bantamweight Grand Prix Championship and The Cage Inc 140 lbs Champion.

Baszler's professional wrestling achievements are also considerably notable as well. She has captured championships around the world. For instance, in Japan, she captured the DDT Pro-Wrestling Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. In Australia, she won the IndyGurlz Australian Championship for New Horizon Pro Wrestling and she's also won the AIW Women's Championship in Absolute Intense Wrestling.

When we add that to her being a two-time NXT Women's Champion and recognized by Sports Illustrated in the top five of women's wrestlers for 2019, it just shows how far Baszler has come as a competitor. She has faced oppositions of every kind and is definitely a combat sports veteran. This experience should come in handy when she competes for the Money in the Bank briefcase.

#1 Time could be running out

Shayna Baszler should be walking out of Money in the Bank as the winner of the briefcase

There is a saying that could best represent Shayna Baszler's career at the moment in WWE. She isn't here for a long time, she's here for a good time. At 39 years of age and turning forty this August, Baszler's chance to be on top may be running out.

With that said, while age may just be a number for Baszler, she is in a difficult position. With several emerging talents, younger options could present themselves as a threat to the RAW Women's Championship.

In the case of Baszler, much like AJ Styles who ascended to the top of the company nearly from upon his arrival, the same could be the case for the Queen of Spades. Styles came into the WWE in his late-thirties and captured the WWE Championship and the United States Championship.

For Baszler, when she walked into Elimination Chamber no one stood a chance. With Money in the Bank now approaching it could be said that her experience could ultimately be the reason behind others not standing a chance against.
