5 Things possible at WWE Money in the Bank 2018

#3 A Smackdown Superstar will win the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Unlike last year's Money in the Bank event, which was a Smackdown-exclusive pay per view, this year's event in co-branded, meaning both RAW and Smackdown superstars will be participating in the match. However, that will not change the fact that a Smackdown superstar will win the contract again this year.

While the case can be made for Braun Strowman winning the contract, he honestly does not need it. As for Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Roode, they have not been built up well enough just yet to hold the contact and pose a challenge to Brock Lesnar. Speaking of Lesnar, since he rarely appears on WWE television, it would be nonsensical for a RAW superstar to win the contract when Lesnar is barely around to be cashed in on, although it would make for an interesting storyline.

That leaves us with the four Smackdown competitors in the match. While a Russev or whichever member of the New Day is chosen to be in the match victory would be nice, I don't see that happening. Which leaves us with Samoa Joe and The Miz. While a powerhouse like Joe doesn't need a contract to win the title, I could see him winning and cashing in on AJ Styles if he retains his WWE Championship down the line.

The Money in the Bank in perfect for The Miz and his character, which is a coward heel that likes to take the easy way out. MIz carrying the briefcase and taunting a babyface champion like Styles, or someone else, would make for some entertaining television.
