5 WWE Superstars that can benefit from Money in the Bank

Who will rise to the top of their division at WWE Money in the Bank?
Who will rise to the top of their division at WWE Money in the Bank?

#4 Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn

At WWE Hell in a Cell, Sami Zayn won his first singles match of 2021. Zayn broke a long record, as he'd not won a singles bout by pinfall or submission since October 2020.

He knocked off his former best friend Kevin Owens with a Helluva Kick after going after his injured throat, which led to KO announcing he'd be going away for a while. With his adversary gone, it's time for Sami Zayn to take the step to the next level. WWE's Conspiracy Theorist has already had some entertaining runs as Intercontinental Champion, and while we could enjoy another run with the gold, why not push Sami a little higher up the ladder?

Specifically, why not have him climb that ladder of success at Money in the Bank in July and become Mr. MITB? Zayn's antics have been incredibly entertaining, as he's been trying to prove for nearly a year that the machine is against him. What better way to keep that story going than to have him hold the briefcase only to be prevented from cashing in at every turn thanks to The Usos?

It could lead to a well-deserved face turn should WWE want to go in that direction. Regardless, Sami Zayn holding the Money in the Bank briefcase seems like a great decision with a handful of different roads to take.


#3 Former WWE Tag Champion Nikki Cross

Nikki Cross has beaten two of WWE's top stars a few times over in recent weeks. Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley simply can't keep Cross down, and it's clear she's looking for gold. With WWE finally putting some stock into Cross, now is the perfect time to give her the briefcase.

This isn't the only time Cross has searched for singles gold on the main roster. While she's a two-time WWE Tag Team Champion, Cross has also faced Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship on a handful of occasions. Cross has always been a finger or two away from reaching the next peak, and the Money in the Bank briefcase might be what she's been needing to elevate herself.
