This article will predict what could possibly happen at the event. Here, we take a look at five ways in which the WWE can book the Men's MITB Ladder Match.


#5 Finn Balor turns heel

Finn Balor has been a lovable fan favourite ever since his WWE debut a few years ago. He is a former NXT Champion and a former Universal Champion in WWE. Balor suffered a major shoulder injury that sidelined him for six months ending his Universal title reign within one day.

Ever since he returned from his injury he has been stuck on the mid-card, fighting to regain the title he never lost. He has an opportunity at MITB but could very well get decimated by Braun Strowman.

After getting destroyed he could very well attack Strowman with a ladder or something similar that will mark his heel turn for the first time in his WWE tenure. A heel Finn Balor could work really well and he could finally have a chance to shine by having a lengthy run with the Intercontinental Championship.

#4 Braun Strowman obliterates everyone and wins

The "Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman has been an unstoppable force ever since he debuted in WWE as a member of The Wyatt Family. Strowman has been on a path of destruction in wrestling and has his sights set on the Universal Championship.

At MITB he could dominate everyone in the match and easily win the briefcase by just standing on his tiptoes. Imagine Strowman lifting the briefcase and screaming Brun while standing atop of the ladder. Who wouldn't want to watch that?

#3 Big E turns heel and The New Day breaks up

Come on guys, it was bound to happen at some point

The New Day is arguably the best tag team in WWE right now (NXT's Undisputed Era coming in at a close second). They are the longest reigning Tag Team Champs in history and are multiple time SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Only few teams can accomplish so much in pro wrestling these days. However, the New Day defied all odds and have proven to be the top team in the biz.

At MITB, however, things could take a turn for the worst. As it has been decided, one member of the team will enter the match (rumour has it Kofi Kingston will be New Day's pick) and will likely fail to capture the briefcase. Although, there could be a reason the person didn't win and that might be Big E.

Big E is rumoured to turn on his comrades for quite some time now and he could do just that at MITB. A singles run for Big E wouldn't be bad right? Also, there's no reason for Kofi and Xavier to stay together so why not just separate the two and disband the team? As much as we love New Day, in the world of pro wrestling, all good things must come to an end.

#2 Kevin Owens turns face

Kevin Owens is truly one of the biggest heels in the world of pro wrestling but what if the former Universal Champion turned face at Money In the Bank? Fans have wanted to see how Owens would work as a babyface for a long time now.

MITB could be just the time and place for that to happen. For example, Sami Zayn interferes on behalf of Owens after losing to Bobby Lashley earlier in the night. Zayn fights off all the other competitors and then turns on Owens with a low blow or a cheap shot.

The next night on Raw, Zayn could explain his actions by saying KO was never a good friend to him and now he wants his revenge by treating KO the way KO treated him. It definitely makes sense and would be great storytelling from a creative perspective.

#1 The Miz gets an upset victory

The Miz is a decorated veteran in the ring and has great mic skills and in-ring ability. A shock victory at MITB could benefit Miz nicely. He could have one more WWE title reign before taking a more managerial role in the company. Make it happen WWE!

One can't deny that The Miz will do wonders with the MITB briefcase owing to his persona and ability to build a story.
