#6 Becky Lynch scheduled to be backstage at WWE Money in the Bank 2021

Former RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch has been away from WWE television for over a year now. During this time, she gave birth to her first child with her husband Seth Rollins. Recently surfaced images have shown that The Man is in great shape now, ready to make her awaited return.

According to a recent report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Lynch is scheduled to be in the arena at WWE Money in the Bank 2021. However, it is not known yet whether she will make an on-screen appearance.

"Becky Lynch is scheduled to be at this Sunday's Money in the Bank PPV," PWInsider.com has confirmed. "There is no word yet whether Lynch will be appearing on camera but as of this morning, she is slated to be in attendance at the pay-per-view."

Money in the Bank seems like the perfect place for Becky Lynch to return in front of a live crowd. She could end up confronting either Rhea Ripley or Bianca Belair, setting up a SummerSlam title feud. Or WWE could throw us all a massive curveball and make her enter the women's Money in the Bank match.

#5 Major surprises planned for the Money in the Bank weekend

Money in the Bank weekend surely has a huge feeling of excitement around it due to the return of the fans. According to a report from WrestleVotes, WWE has some exciting things and multiple surprises planned for this weekend.

"With the ThunderDome officially behind them, source states that WWE has some cool & exciting things planned for this weekend….. Expect a surprise or two. Truly a pivotal time in recent WWE history," tweeted WrestleVotes.

This week on Friday Night SmackDown, we saw the main roster return of Finn Balor after nearly two years. The fans in the arena went bonkers when the former Universal Champion's music hit. Could we witness an even bigger return at WWE Money in the Bank this Sunday?


#4 Could there be a last-minute replacement in the women's Money in the Bank match?

Until last week, there were two spots left in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match and fans were expecting some surprising names to be announced. However, WWE announced the women's tag team champions Natalya and Tamina as the final two competitors, a decision that has led to some disappointment among the fans.

However, the company could be planning a massive last-minute replacement in the match. According to a recent report by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Sonya Deville was penciled in to be in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match at one point.

There are speculations that she might take out one of the announced competitors, possibly Liv Morgan, and enter the match herself. This would be a huge way for Deville to make her in-ring return after nearly a year and would further her storyline with Morgan on SmackDown.

#3 Possible spoiler on the WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank

Money in the Bank 2021 will see WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defend his title against Kofi Kingston. The New Day have made Lashley look vulnerable on RAW recently and fans are wondering whether the WWE title will change hands this Sunday.

According to recent reports, Goldberg is set to return next week on Monday Night RAW to challenge Lashley for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. If that is the plan, it means that The All Mighty will be retaining his title at Money in the Bank.

There were also speculations that Lashley would face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam this year, but The Beast Incarnate is reportedly not set to appear at WWE's Biggest Party of Summer.


#2 SmackDown Tag Team Championships to likely change hands at Money in the Bank

The latest match announced for WWE Money in the Bank will see SmackDown Tag Team Champions Rey and Dominik Mysterio defend their titles against The Usos. The two teams have been feuding on the Blue brand over the last few weeks.

It was reported by WrestlingNews.co a couple of months ago that WWE is planning to have Jimmy and Jey Uso win the SmackDown Tag Team titles from a babyface team. With that in mind, it is possible that The Usos will defeat The Mysterios at Money in the Bank this Sunday, becoming the new champions.

#1 Possible spoiler on the Roman Reigns vs. Edge match at WWE Money in the Bank 2021, John Cena to return?

The biggest match heading into WWE Money in the Bank 2021 is for the Universal Championship as Roman Reigns will defend his title against Edge. The Rated-R Superstar made his surprising return to SmackDown last month and went straight after The Tribal Chief.

Edge and Reigns previously faced each other in the main event of WrestleMania 37 in a triple threat match, also involving Daniel Bryan. The WWE Hall of Famer has blamed Bryan for the loss, and will finally get his one-on-one match for the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank.

Edge has had the upper hand during this feud on SmackDown for the last few weeks. However, all signs point towards Reigns successfully defending his title this Sunday.

Roman Reigns vs. John Cena for the Universal Championship is the rumored main event for WWE SummerSlam 2021. According to a recent report from Fightful Select, The Leader of Cenation is set to make his WWE return within the next week.

The current plan is for Cena to return on next week's SmackDown. However, the company could pull off another surprise with the former WWE Champion appearing at WWE Money in the Bank 2021 and confronting Reigns.
