Money in the Bank 2019 Predictions

Money in the Bank 2019 will take place on May 19, 2019, starting live at 7 PM on the WWE Network with the Kickoff Show starting live at 6 PM on the WWE Network and the WWE Youtube Channel. This will take place in the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut and will include top talent from Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, and 205 Live.

There will be the two Money in the Bank ladder matches involving the top men and women of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live as well as matches for the Cruiserweight Championship, the United States Championship, the Raw Women's Championship, the SmackDown Women's Championship, the WWE Championship, and the Universal Championship.

The kickoff show will feature a match between SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan and Monday Night Raw's the Usos. The main show will feature Tony Nese vs Ariya Daivari for the Cruiserweight Championship, Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship, Kofi Kingston vs Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship, The Miz vs Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage Match, Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship, Becky Lynch vs Lacey Evans for the Raw Women's Championship, Roman Reigns vs Elias, Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles for the Universal Championship, the women's Money in the Bank ladder match, and the men's Money in the Bank ladder match.

Kickoff Show: Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs The Usos

The Usos have made their return to SmackDown Live after a few weeks.

Daniel Bryan and Rowan defeated the Usos to win the recently vacated SmackDown Tag Team Titles a few weeks ago. The Usos will be given a chance to redeem themselves after this loss when they do battle with the SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the line on the kickoff show. While the Usos are one of the best tag teams in all of WWE, Daniel Bryan & Rowan have only just won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships and need momentum so they will likely gain the victory.

Prediction: Daniel Bryan & Rowan get the victory

Cruiserweight Championship: Tony Nese (c.) vs Ariya Daivari

This match is surprisingly set to be on the main show.

Tony Nese has been having his first pay per view feud against Ariya Daivari. Tony Nese has been a fighting champion since he has become Cruiserweight Champion as he has already faced and defeated all sorts of challengers from former Cruiserweight Champion and SmackDown Live superstar Buddy Murphy to his former friend in Drew Gulak to NXT UK's Ligero.

His next challenge will be Ariya Daivari who has gotten a lot of momentum over the past few months. The Persian Lion has been undefeated since making his return and has gotten victories over Oney Lorcan, Gran Metalik, and Cedric Alexander. While he has gained a lot of momentum, he is unlikely to get the victory as Tony Nese has only just won the Cruiserweight Championship.

Prediction: Tony Nese defeats Ariya Daivari

United States Championship: Samoa Joe (c.) vs Rey Mysterio

Samoa Joe is the current United States Champion.

Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio have had a pretty personal feud. Samoa Joe completely squashed Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 35 in about sixty seconds. Since then, Rey Mysterio got an upset victory over Samoa Joe with a roll up. This feud has gotten even more personal since then as Samoa Joe recently delivered a chilling message to Rey Mysterio's son Dominik on Monday Night Raw.

Given how personal Samoa Joe has been to Rey Mysterio and his family, it only seems right that he gets the victory. However, Samoa Joe has been great as United States Champion with several great matches against R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, Andrade, and AJ Styles to his name. It is likely that WWE will allow Samoa Joe to have a much longer reign as United States Champion so he will not lose tonight.

Prediction: Samoa Joe defeats Rey Mysterio

Steel Cage Match: Shane McMahon vs The Miz

The Miz and Shane McMahon have had such a personal rivalry.

The Miz and Shane McMahon have been involved in a storyline with each other for months. This rivalry involved Shane McMahon shockingly turning heel on the Miz and brutalizing the The Miz's father. Shane McMahon and The Miz then had a Falls Count Anywhere Match at WrestleMania 35. Their rivalry was supposed to culminate on that night. However, Shane McMahon managed to walk away with the victory.

The two superstars have only continued their rivalry since then. The Miz and Shane McMahon will finally end their rivalry at Money in the Bank and it is only right that it ends with the Miz getting the victory. Shane McMahon has been incredibly personal in this feud with his multiple attacks on The Miz's father and he definitely needs to receive his comeuppance.

Prediction: The Miz defeats Shane McMahon

Elias vs Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns attacked Elias during his first appearance on SmackDown Live.

Elias and Shane McMahon have made Roman Reigns' career on SmackDown Live extremely difficult with multiple attacks. This all started when Roman Reigns laid out both Elias and Vince McMahon during the second part of the Superstar Shakeup. Since then, Shane McMahon has gotten involved in this rivalry and has made Roman Reigns compete in numerous handicap matches against the B-Team, Daniel Bryan, Rowan, Elias, and even himself.

This is Roman Reign's first feud as a part of SmackDown Live and as a result of that, it is likely that he will defeat Elias. Even with likely interference from Shane McMahon, Daniel Bryan, Rowan, and the B-Team, there is still close to no chance that Elias will get the victory. The only question is whether or not Elias will be squashed or not.

Prediction: Roman Reigns defeats Elias

Raw Women's Championship: Becky Lynch (c.) vs Lacey Evans

This will be Lacey Evan's first ever rivalry as a part of the main roster.

Lacey Evans has gone through a lot of growth over the past few weeks thanks to her feud with Becky Lynch. The company clearly has a lot of faith in her given the fact that she is battling for the Raw Women's Championship in her first ever pay per view singles match.

However, Lacey Evans still has some in-ring polishing to do after her premature NXT call up. While there is definitely a chance that Lacey Evans gets the huge upset victory, it is unlikely because Becky Lynch has only just become Becky 2 Belts. Becky Lynch has been a revelation with both championships and should at the very least definitely retain the Raw Women's Championship. That is what she will do against Lacey Evans at Money in the Bank.

Prediction: Becky Lynch defeats Lacey Evans

SmackDown Women's Championship: Becky Lynch (c.) vs Charlotte Flair

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will face off for what feels like the thousandth time.

Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley on SmackDown Live to become the number one contender to the SmackDown Women's Champion. She is actually much more of a threat to Becky Lynch's reign as SmackDown Women's Champion than Lacey Evans is to Becky Lynch's reign as Raw Women's Champion.

Becky Lynch has been a part of SmackDown Live since the 2016 draft as one of their most premier superstars. Therefore, it is time that she goes to Monday Night Raw where she still feels sort of fresh. However, Becky Lynch deserves more time as Becky 2 Belts and will likely retain the championship. Charlotte Flair also simply cannot have another title reign so soon. Therefore, Becky Lynch will still be Becky 2 Belts.

Prediction: Becky Lynch defeats Charlotte Flair

WWE Championship: Kofi Kingston (c.) vs Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens and Kofi Kingston have had an incredibly personal rivalry in a short period of time.

Ever since Kofi Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, he has been a fighting champion. He successfully defended the WWE Championship against Daniel Bryan on an episode of Raw and against AJ Styles & Sami Zayn in a triple threat match on an episode of SmackDown Live.

Kevin Owens also became an honorary member of the New Day. However, he shockingly turned on the New Day and since then, Kofi Kingston has been determined to get his revenge on him. While Kevin Owens definitely has a chance to win the WWE Championship and would be great as the champion Roman Reings defeats to win the title. However, Kofi Kingston deserves a longer reign as champion and will likely defeat him.

Prediction: Kofi Kingston defeats Kevin Owens

Universal Championship: Seth Rollins (c.) vs AJ Styles

This will be the first time that these superstars will ever face off in WWE.

AJ Styles defeated Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match before defeating Baron Corbin to become number one contender to the Universal Championship in the same night. This has set up a complete dream match between two of the best in-ring workers in all of WWE.

The rivalry between these two superstars has escalated very quickly with AJ Styles putting Seth Rollins through a table with the Phenomenal Forearm and AJ Styles walking out on Seth Rollins after hitting him with another Phenomenal Forearm and costing him a tag team match against Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley. AJ Styles has only just joined Monday Night Raw and as a result of that, Seth Rollins will likely retain the championship.

Prediction: Seth Rollins defeats AJ Styles

Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Bayley vs Carmella vs Dana Brooke vs Ember Moon vs Mandy Rose vs Naomi vs Natalya vs Nikki Cross

These eight women all have a lot of potential to become future stars in WWE.

In this match, Ember Moon, Mandy Rose, Bayley, and Carmella will all represent SmackDown Live while Nikki Cross (who only recently replaced an injured Alexa Bliss), Dana Brooke, Naomi, and Natalya will represent Raw. Out of all of these women, four of them have not won the Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship while four of them have done so.

While some superstars like Carmella, Dana Brooke, Natalya, and Naomi don't have a strong chance of winning this match, other women like Ember Moon, Bayley, Nikki Cross, and Mandy Rose do. However, out of all of these women, Mandy Rose has the best chance as she is the only heel in this matchup.

Prediction: Mandy Rose becomes Ms. Money in the Bank

Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Ali vs Andrade vs Baron Corbin vs Drew McIntyre vs Finn Balor vs Randy Orton vs Ricochet vs Sami Zayn

These eight men are a part of the men's money in the bank ladder match.

In this match, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, and Ricochet will represent Monday Night Raw while Ali, Andrade, Finn Balor, and Randy Orton will represent SmackDown Live. Out of all of these men, six of them have won the WWE or Universal Championship while two of them have not done so.

While some of these superstars like Finn Balor, Ricochet, and Ali do not have a strong chance of winning this match, other superstars like Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Andrade, and Sami Zayn do have a strong chance of winning this match. It will likely be Drew McIntyre that gets the win as he would be great as a dangerous money in the bank holder.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre becomes Mr. Money in the Bank.
