5 surprise WWE stars who could take the last spot in the Women's Money In The Bank match

So far, WWE has announced that six Superstars from its women's division will be competing in this year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match for a chance to win the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Those women are Asuka, Naomi, Zelina Vega, Carmella, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. There are, of course, two slots left in the match for WWE to fill with two more female Superstars.

One of those slots looks like it's destined for Liv Morgan, who is currently trying to prove she's deserving of a place in the match, having already defeated two of its entrants, Carmella and Zelina Vega.

That leaves one final spot that WWE could do something unexpected with. With that in mind, here are 5 surprise WWE Superstars who could take the last slot in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.


#5 WWE authority figure Sonya Deville

Sonya Deville has been out of the ring for a number of months after stepping away from WWE to deal with a real-life stalking incident that saw someone break into her home and attempt to kidnap her.

She was written off onscreen in a loser leaves WWE match, which she lost against her former tag team partner and former Absolution stablemate, Mandy Rose. However, she returned a short while later as Adam Pearce's assistant.

Since then she's been an onscreen character helping book matches for shows and dealing with WWE Superstars' problems. She is currently the one that is refusing to book Liv Morgan in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

What if Sonya Deville is reluctant to give Morgan a slot because she wants one herself, and she knows that doing so reduces the number of slots available to her?

Not only would this be a great way for Deville to make her return to the ring after her prolonged absence, but it would fully cement Deville as a major antagonist to Liv Morgan, which would facilitate an ongoing feud between the two.

#4 WWE NXT Superstar Shotzi Blackheart

Winning the Money in the Bank Ladder match is often the thing that helps a Superstar on the cusp of the main event picture, finally break through and become a major player.

However, this also applies to being able to simply participate in the Money in the Bank Ladder match. That's why the final Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match spot could be used to debut a new main roster star.

We know that several of NXT's finest from the yellow brand's women's division have appeared backstage for RAW and SmackDown to take place in dark matches and 'main roster tryouts'. One of those women is Shotzi Blackheart.

Blackheart is certainly no stranger to ladders in WWE, having previously defeated current NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez in a Ladder match and also appearing in a War Games match.

Blackheart would make a great last-minute surprise entrant into the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match.

#3 Former WWE NXT UK Women's Champion Toni Storm

Toni Storm is one of the other NXT Superstars who has been making appearances backstage at RAW and SmackDown tapings and she competed in a dark match against Shotzi Blackheart last week.

Storm is a former NXT UK Women's Champion as well as the winner of the second-ever Mae Young Classic tournament. Many argue that she is more than ready for a spot on the main roster.

She's also certainly a big enough deal to do the whole surprise entrant thing with, especially if it is announced as a pleasant surprise or last-minute addition to the match on the night of the pay-per-view.

I don't believe that Toni Storm has competed in a ladder match in WWE yet either, so it would be a great way to see the promising Superstar competing in an environment we've not seen from her yet.

#2 WWE NXT Superstar Scarlett

Scarlett is the last of the NXT women who have been seemingly hand-picked for an imminent call-up to WWE's main roster after appearing in dark matches for RAW and SmackDown.

However, there are two points of intrigue for Scarlett's main roster debut that we don't have with the other women on this list. First of all, will still be accompanying Karrion Kross or will be alone and secondly, and perhaps more interestingly, we've yet to see her wrestle in WWE.

This presents WWE with the opportunity to add Scarlett to the Money in the Bank Ladder match where she can display her wrestling acumen and surprise and shock people with her ability in her debut match.

WWE did this in NXT with Ricochet, where his first match for the yellow brand was taking part in the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American Champion. Surprising the WWE Universe by having Scarlett's first match be in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match would be awesome.

#1 WWE Superstar Reginald

Reginald has been a fixture in the WWE women's division for some time now, ever since he debuted for the company as Carmella's Somellier. But there's one small problem, he's not a woman!

I'd argue that doesn't matter though as Reginald has been involved in many physical spots with WWE's female wrestlers, including taking part in the odd match or two.

There's even precedent for WWE having a man interfere in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match on another women's behalf with James Elsworth helping Carmella become the first ever female Money in the Bank briefcase holder when he pushed Becky Lynch off of the ladder and dropped the briefcase to Carmella waiting below.

This is admittedly a step further, having a man wrestle as an official entrant in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match and it's not something that I'd ever actually want to see WWE do. But there are a few cool ways you could make it less awful, like having Alexa Bliss possess Reginald and enter the match as herself and him.
