5 things WWE must do at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view

Money in The Bank, Money in the bank pay per view,
What does WWE need to do at Money In The Bank

Climb the ladder, retrieve the briefcase and cement yourself as the next big thing in WWE. While the overall concept seems simple enough, there are nine other superstars with the exact goal! If all that wasn't exciting enough, there are also a multitude of other matches on the pay per view card that have the possibility of changing the entire landscape of WWE.

With that being said and one of the most thrilling pay per views on the schedule quickly approaching, it should probably go without saying that there are certain things WWE must do to make this event a success.

Not only that, there are certain things that the company must also do to ensure that it moves into the summer in the best shape possible.

Here are five of those things!


#5 Turn Finn Balor heel

Finn Balor,
Will Finn Balor turn heel at Money In The Bank?

This is something that the WWE Universe has been wanting for quite a while now and its hard to argue that the move wouldn't be the thing that propels Balor into the main event title scene again. In fact, WWE has been seemingly teasing this for so long with the many times he has come up short in the past few months, which means that the momentum is there.

Unfortunately for Balor and his hoard of followers, WWE doesn't seem to want to pull the trigger on a heel turn due to the fact that he is working so well as a face right now. Of course, Balor could work his way into the title picture as a babyface, especially since he seems to be able to have a good match with anyone right now, but he could do it much faster as a heel.

Turning heel also gives him the chance to bring back his demon character, which would definitely be a way to add that extra special layer to his storyline again. It's no secret that the WWE Universe absolutely lost their mind for "Demon" Finn Balor in the past and unveiling it again would probably create the same result.

#4 Natalya winning the Money in The Bank briefcase

Is WWE planning Rousey vers Natayla later on down the line?

There are a lot of interesting possibilities in The Women's Money in The Bank ladder match, but the biggest one has to be Natalya winning the big green briefcase. Not only would this be an excellent way to tease an eventual matchup between Ronda Rousey, especially if she wins the title from Nia Jax, it also opens up the opportunity for Stephanie McMahon to stir the pot a bit.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Rousey has to win the title right away, more on that later, but having Natalya win at Money in The Bank would be a way to set something up down the line.

Not only would that situation help give Rousey legitimacy in the WWE, especially since she would be going up against an established star, it adds a little something personal as well.

#3 Stephanie McMahon costing Ronda Rousey the title

Ronda Rousey, Stephanie McMahon,
Is WWE setting up for Stephanie McMahon versus Ronda Rousey part two?

While Ronda Rousey winning her first title in a WWE ring would definitely be a history-making moment for the company and the baddest women on the planet, it seems very unlikely given the circumstances. In fact, it seems like putting the title on Rousey this early would be an injustice to the women's division and to what WWE could do with Rousey if given more time.

With that being said and Stephanie McMahon already showing signs of meddling in the match at Money in The Bank, it makes more sense for McMahon to somehow cost Rousey the match at MITB, which would lead to something between the two at the upcoming Summerslam pay per view.

In the end, this option gives WWE a chance to surprise the crowd by having Rousey come up short at Money In The Bank and capitalize on the fact that the WWE Universe still wants to see Rousey and McMahon go one on one in the ring. Whether WWE can somehow work the title into that match remains to be seen, but it wouldn't really be needed to make things interesting.

#2 Braun Strowman winning the Men's Money In The Bank ladder match

Bruan Strowman,
The Monster among men could be the next Mr Money in The Bank!

It's no secret that The WWE Universe is white hot for Braun Strowman right now and what better way to finally capitalize on that then to have him win the Money In The Bank briefcase at the upcoming pay per view? In fact, Strowman is so over with The WWE Universe right now after being in the title scene for months, it would be an injustice not to have him win.

Not only would this decision finally allow Strowman a chance to win the Universal title later on down the line, it also does so without making another superstar look weak in the process, which is probably why WWE didn't put the title on Strowman during his feud with Brock Lesnar earlier last year.

With Roman Reigns finally out of the title picture for now and WWE needing someone to take The Big Dog's place until he can be groomed properly for the main event spot, it really makes sense for WWE to go with Strowman here. The WWE Universe will absolutely love the decision and it will give them a good feeling about the company going forward.

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura defeating AJ Styles for The WWE Title

Shinsuke Nakamura,
Is it Shinsuke Nakamura's time to shine with The WWE Title?

Let's be honest here - AJ Styles would lose absolutely nothing by taking a loss to Shinsuke Nakamura at Money In The Bank. While a lot of that is due to the fact that a last man standing match gives WWE a lot of options on how to move forward, it also finally gives Nakamura the title run he has deserved for a long time.

Of course, WWE handed fans a huge swerve by having Nakamura turn heel at WrestleMania 34, especially since respect between the two was a focal point of the feud leading up to the pay per view, but that doesn't mean can't rectify the surprise finish by finally giving Nakamura the title run he has been chasing since coming ot the main roster last year.

In the end, Styles has been champion long enough and him continuing to be is really doing nothing for the company. Not only would a Nakamura title run be the perfect solution to that and prolong the feud between the two a little bit longer, it would also be a shock that keeps the WWE Universe on their toes moving forward.
