#4 Lana
This is a big step down from Asuka in the wrestling department, but Lana is another valid candidate for the women’s MITB ladder match.
The Ravishing Russian has had vignettes advertising her SmackDown debut for the past couple of weeks. The MITB match surely would not be her first match, but once she establishes herself as part of the SmackDown roster with a few victories in the coming weeks, she’s a prime candidate to be included.
After all, beggars can’t be choosers. And in this situation, SmackDown is essentially begging for more participants in a potential women’s MITB match. They need as many warm bodies on the roster to participate in this match as possible. And although she’ll likely be green in the ring, Lana qualifies.
However, that lack of in-ring experience probably makes her participation a little dangerous. If she’s not completely comfortable in regular matches yet, should she really be put in the middle of some potentially dangerous ladder spots? Probably not.
But WWE could always make sure she’s not at too much risk. You don’t necessarily have to take an insane bump to be a participant in a ladder match, so Lana could still have a case to be in the match.
