The 2020 Money in the Bank has already made history in a number of ways. It was the first time that the Money in the Bank contract had been decided in a match at WWE HQ, before then becoming the first time the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match was for the Raw Women's Championship itself.
Of course, this now means that the Women's Money in the Bank contract has been used and there is no longer the risk of a cash-in for current RAW Women's Champion Asuka. Instead, it appears that the focus will be on the men's Money in the Bank contract as Otis weighs up his chances of becoming Universal Champion.
Handing Otis the Money in the Bank contract for the first time has opened the door to a number of possibilities for the company to make more history.
#5. The Money in the Bank contract could be given away
The Money in the Bank contract has been won and cashed in a number of times over the past 15 years with a handful of these cash-in's being unsuccessful.
That being said, there has never been a Money in the Bank winner who has handed the contract to someone else without losing it in a match or having it stolen.
One of the main rumors surrounding Otis' Money in the Bank win is that he's so infatuated with Mandy Rose that he could decide to give her the contract and allow her to cash in on Bayley.
After all, Rose has been on the main roster now for a number of years and doesn't look to be getting any closer to a Championship reign, so Otis could make the decision to kick start her career rather than his own.
#4. The contract could be stolen and cashed in
It's interesting that ever since 2005 when the contract first came into fruition, it has only ever been stolen on two occasions. Back when Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow were busy arguing over the contract, which ended up breaking up their tag team, as well as when Dean Ambrose managed to steal the case from Seth Rollins.
Of course, on both occasions, the rightful Mr. Money in the Bank was able to get their contract back and go on to cash it in. Rollins was successful in his quest to become World Champion whilst Damien Sandow joined the shortlist of men who failed.
It would be interesting to see if Dolph Ziggler and Sonya Deville were able to plot between themselves to not only steal the contract from Otis, but be the first people to cash in a stolen contract.
This is a path WWE has never taken before, and it's unknown if there is a rule against someone else cashing in the contract or not, especially if they are able to replace the name in the briefcase with their own.
#3. The contract isn't cashed in for a calendar year
One of the rules that has been noted regarding the Money in the Bank contract over the past 15 years is the fact that the winner only has a year to cash in. Of course, WWE stars are always in a rush to cash in the contract, with some even doing it on the same night, so this rule has never really been questioned.
Whilst Carmella was cutting it fine when she finally cashed in, there has never been a person able to reach the one year mark and then have their case taken away. Is the rule that it's taken away since a new Mr. Money in the Bank would be crowned so there couldn't be two at the same time?
It would be interesting to see if Otis is so torn between the options that he currently has with the contact that he isn't actually able to cash in within that window that WWE has given him, so there is a rule forced.
Would Otis be forced to cash in the contract at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, or would his contract become null and void?
#2. Mandy Rose becomes the first female to unsuccessfully cash-in
The Women's Money in the Bank contract is obviously much younger than the men's which is why so far all four women who have won the Money in the Bank ladder match have obviously been successful in becoming Champion.
Carmella, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, and Asuka have all enjoyed the privilege that being Miss Money in the Bank has given to them, but if Mandy Rose is handed the contract, will she be the one to break the streak?
Otis is infatuated with the former Tough Enough star and it could be argued that in order to save their relationship he would put her career ahead of his own and he would hand her the contract. If God's Greatest Creation was to then cash in the contract on Bayley, then could she become the first female loser?
Asuka didn't even have to cash in her contract to become Champion this year, but cashing in on Bayley with Sasha Banks in tow could be a very different scenario.
#1. Cash in on the Tag Team Championships
The Money in the Bank contract was created as a short cut to becoming World Champion and over the course of the past decade, a number of mid-card stars have been able to step out of their comfort zone and lead the company.
It could be argued that Otis isn't ready to become World Champion, he hasn't even had a singles run and he's most notable for his work alongside Tucker in Heavy Machinery.
Whilst Tucker hasn't been seen on WWE TV since he was taken out by Dolph Ziggler ahead of WrestleMania, Otis has made it clear that he wants to cash in on the Tag Team Championships.
This is something that has never been done before, but who can blame Otis, as if he chose to cash in on the Universal Champion then he has to find a way past Braun Strowman.
It would feel like a cop-out since Heavy Machinery could earn a Tag Team Championship match on their own, but it appears that this could be the path that WWE choose.
