Which Superstar will walk out with the Money in the Bank briefcase?

WrestleMania 35 is on the rear-view mirror and the next stop is the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, which is scheduled to take place on May 19, 2019. Personally, I didn't expect the PPV to air so soon, because it's usual spot is in June. Just after WrestleMania, a new Mr. Money in the Bank will be crowned. The past two year's event has been underwhelming so far, as there were not one but two failed cash-in attempts.

In 2017, the now despised Baron Corbin won the briefcase and failed to cash it in on the then-WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. And the following year, The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman won the briefcase and, you guessed it, failed to successfully cash it in as well.

His case was a bit different because the person he was supposed to cash-in on rarely showed up. Strowman had no choice but to personally keep on his eyes on Lesnar during the latter's Universal Championship match with Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.

But unfortunately for Strowman, Lesnar wasn't too happy about that so he took him out to avoid the cash in, which allowed Reigns to spear Lesnar for the win. Strowman cashed in his contract to receive a match with Reigns at Hell in a Cell and again, Lesnar ruined Strowman's plan. But that was last year, and this year, four men from the blue brand will collied with four men from the red brand in a ladder match for the MITB briefcase.

No names have been confirmed so far about who the challengers are going to be, but we already have someone in mind that we want to see grab the briefcas - and here are 5 of them:


#5 Shinsuke Nakamura

This is Nakamura's time
This is Nakamura's time

Things have not been going very good for Shinsuke Nakamura lately. One would forget that he won the Royal Rumble match and faced AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34. The King of Strong Style is an in-ring mastermind. He knows his way around the squared circle and he has given pro wrestling fans numerous 5-star matches.

His heel turn might have saved his career, but Nakamura has been underutilized and his pairing with Rusev doesn't benefit him at all. This is the same guy who beat John Cena and eliminated Roman Reigns from the Rumble! His US Title reign might be the worst in WWE history, but his WWE Championship reign might be a refresher.

That's why Shinsuke Nakamura should walk out of Money in the Bank with the briefcase and later this year he should be the WWE Champion. He's a heel after all and the briefcase fits better in the hands of a heel because they can go to any lengths to make sure they win. Kofi Kingston should have a long reign, and when the time comes, Nakamura should cash in on the opportunity to become WWE Champion.

#4 Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode made his main roster debut on Smackdown Live as a babyface and went on to win the United States Championship. He moved to Monday Night Raw during the Superstar Shake-up and for a little while he was taken off TV before forming a tag team with Chad Gable. The team went on to win the Raw Tag Team Championships and lost it to The Revivals before turning heel and being separated in this year's Superstar Shake-up.

Bobby Roode is a former TNA/Impact Wrestling Champion. He had a great run in NXT and played a very good heel. Roode hasn't been used the right way since he moved to Raw and he deserves to be pushed as a heel singles competitor. WWE can do this by awarding him the Money in the Bank contract. Roode should also compete on the main card and become one of the biggest heels on Raw.

Winning the contract will guarantee Roode a future Universal Championship opportunity and fans will get back the Bobby Roode that they loved in NXT. This man could be a huge star if booked correctly and it should all start on the night of May 19.

#3 Andrade

El Idolo

2019 could indeed be the year of "El Idolo" Andrade. The former NXT Champion made a mark on his new home of Monday Night Raw when he single handedly defeated the Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor. While he speaks with his moves in the ring, his manager Zelina Vega has all the vocal skills.

Big things could be in store for Andrade, and none are as big as winning the Money in the Bank contract. This will give him the opporunity he deserves and will place him where he belongs to be in the company. Many wrestlers get lost in the shuffle, but Andrade could be the one to take it all, and it'll only take one night.

According to rumors, WWE has big plans for El Idolo. What could be bigger than him winning the Money in the Bank contract? After all, it will guarantee him a shot at the Big Red Belt anywhere and anytime.

#2 Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath

Drew McIntyre is everybody's favourite villain. The Scottish Psychopath is one of the biggest heels on the 'A' Show. There is no doubt that the company has huge plans for him and that can all start when he wins the Money in the Bank briefcase. Things have not been good for McIntyre recently, as he has been in the receiving end of multiple losses.

His biggest loss, however, was when he lost to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35, something which many fans were afraid was going to happen. While this was Reigns' first singles match since beating Leukemia, McIntyre needed the win more. What makes this even worse was that McIntyre lost to one single spear and didn't even perform his Claymore Kick. Reigns came out looking strong and McIntyre came out the opposite.

This guy is a main carder, and that's where he belongs. His next sight should be at the Universal Championship, and he has more chances of winning it just like every other superstar. Drew McIntyre should definitely be Mr. Money in the Bank.

#1 AJ Styles

The Phenomenal One
The Phenomenal One

The former 2-time WWE Champion AJ Styles has been in WWE for exactly three years and has never carried the Money in the Bank briefcase. Styles had a phenomenal run on Smackdown Live. He was the face of the brand and in his second reign as WWE Champion, he held the title for 371 days!

There was nothing left for him on the blue brand so moving to Raw was the best option possible. New opportunities and new rivalries await him, along with dream matches and championship opportunities. While AJ Styles carried Smackdown Live, Seth Rollins carried Raw for several years and he brought back the Universal Championship to Monday Night Raw, where it belongs.

In his first night on Raw after the Superstar Shake-up, The Phenomenal One competed in the main event and got the pinfall victory. Styles winning the Money in the Bank contract will not only be accepted by the WWE Universe, but it will also give us a dream feud if he manages to successfully cash it in on Seth Rollins.
