WWE's Money in the Bank 2018 PPV will be the second dual-branded PPV (apart from the Big 4 PPVs) of 2018 after Backlash.

Last year's Money in the Bank had its fair share of controversies as Carmella won the briefcase, but with a little help from James Ellsworth, which did not please a majority of the IWC.

This year's Money in the Bank PPV will see Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, The Miz, Rusev, Bobby Roode, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and one member from The New Day, compete in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match.

The women's Money in the Bank ladder match will see Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Lana, Naomi, Sasha Banks, and Ember Moon compete to win the briefcase and a shot at the Women's title.

In singles matches, AJ Styles will once again defend his title against Shinsuke Nakamura, Elias will battle Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental title, Ronda Rousey will get her first shot at the RAW Women's Championship when she faces off against Nia Jax, and Asuka will challenge Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

There have been several Superstars who've been on the sidelines and who we haven't seen in the WWE in months; which wrestlers could return on this Sunday?


#1 Jason Jordan

The storyline of Jason Jordan as Kurt Angle's kayfabe son wasn't as appreciated as WWE would've hoped it to be, but Jordan as an annoying, entitled son of the GM, was beginning to grow on fans until the injury that has kept him out.

Jordan won the Raw Tag Team belt, teaming up with Seth Rollins, but the duo lost the belts to The Bar and the former American Alpha went off to get operated on a neck injury.

Rumors have suggested that Jordan will return anytime around Money in the Bank, with the latest rumor suggesting that he will feud with Baron Corbin on RAW.

#2 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar polarises public opinion - some love him for being a beast and a legitimate fighter, while others hate him for not making many appearances on TV or defending his Universal title. But one fact remains: Brock Lesnar is still Universal Champion!

Lesnar, this past week, eclipsed CM Punk's record of the longest championship run (434 days), on June 12th, 2018.

The Beast was last seen in a WWE Ring at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV in Saudi Arabia, where he defeated Roman Reigns, once more, but this time inside a steel cage.

Rumors suggest that Lesnar's contract is set to expire in the next two months and that he may go to the UFC, which means that he could be set for one final feud in the WWE. Fans want to see a feud between Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, which would be the perfect way for Lesnar to leave the WWE - against a legitimate opponent who also has an MMA background.

#3 Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose had an unfortunate injury back in December 2017, just when he and Seth Rollins were tearing up shows on RAW.

WWE announced that the former WWE Champion would be out for nine months, but recent reports have indicated that Ambrose may be set to return to action.

A rumor this past week suggested that Ambrose could return as a heel and compete for the Universal title. If Ambrose does return at Rosemont, Illinois this Sunday for Money in the Bank, the roof will blow off the place!

#4 Alicia Fox

Yes, Alicia Fox is still a part of the WWE! The former WWE Divas Champion suffered an injury earlier this year, days before she was set to compete in the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble.

According to PWInsider, Fox was reportedly backstage on this week's RAW but did not make an appearance.

The only women's Superstar who does not have a match at this week's Money in the Bank is Bayley, and maybe we could see the seeds of a rivalry between Fox and Bayley sown on this Sunday.

Recent reports have suggested that Fox could leave the WWE by the end of this year.

#5 James Ellsworth

The man who was in the news for all the wrong reasons in last year's edition of Money in the Bank, James Ellsworth could make a return to the WWE once more!

Initially signed as a jobber to the stars, Ellsworth was involved in some epic feuds, but will most notably be remembered for 'winning' the women's Money in the Bank match last year.

Since being released by the WWE in November, he has wrestled in the indie circuit, notably against Nick Aldis for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and created a new championship - World Intergender Champion.

The rumor has been abuzz about an Ellsworth return at MITB after he pulled out of an event in China scheduled for the same day as the WWE PPV.

Could we see him return to the WWE and maybe influence another Ladder match, or perhaps help Carmella retain the SmackDown Women's Championship against Asuka.

Who do you think will return at Money in the Bank, this Sunday?
