WWE Money in the Bank 2020: Ranking all 6 competitor's chances of winning the Men's Ladder Match

Money in the Bank is less than a week away and now we know all the six participants in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, following the Last Chance Gauntlet Match on RAW. It seems poised for a number of Superstars to reach for the top of WWE Headquarters and grab the Money in the Bank briefcase.

This will be the most unique Money in the Bank ladder match in history, along with the Women's Ladder Match which will be taking place simultaneously at the Titan Towers. And after the success of the Boneyard and Firefly Fun House matches at WrestleMania, maybe we should get excited about this.

As mentioned above, this match can go in several different directions and most of the six-man field can feasibly win the Money in the Bank contract. It all depends on how the rest of the year will pan out in WWE's eyes.

Here are all six competitors and their chances of winning the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, ranked from least likely to most likely.

---

#6 Otis

Who would have thought?

Even a couple of months ago, the thought of Otis being in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match would be laughed at. But since then, he has gotten more and more over as a singles competitor and earned his WrestleMania moment by beating Dolph Ziggler and sharing a kiss with Mandy Rose.

Otis defeated the same opponent to qualify for Money in the Bank. However, there is hardly any chance that the Heavy Machinery star wins the briefcase. While he could very well win tag team gold with Tucker, Otis has a very visible ceiling as a singles act.

Besides, WWE needs tag teams right now and there is hardly any as popular as Heavy Machinery on the roster. As crazy as 2020 has already been for WWE, there is no way Otis will become the Universal Champion.

#5 Daniel Bryan

Unfortunately, his days might be numbered.

You might think that Daniel Bryan has a big shot at becoming Mr. Money in the Bank, but a victory for him is pretty unlikely. He is probably in this match only to boost it's star power, along with his undeniable talent.

The Universal Championship scene is one of uncertainty, especially as the intended Champion has taken an indefinite leave of absence. Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt will clash for the blue strap at Money in the Bank and by the end of their feud, The Fiend could stand tall as the Universal Champion.

We have already seen a feud between Bryan and Wyatt, culminating in a brutal Strap Match. Also, it seems like the world's toughest vegan will go on paternity leave in the summer before his current contract runs out.

While Daniel Bryan winning the Money in the Bank Ladder Match would be a pleasant surprise, like in 2011, it probably won't happen. His story with Drew Gulak and The Artist Collective does not seem finished, so a return to that feud could be on the cards after Money in the Bank.

#4 Rey Mysterio

Still going strong.

Rather surprisingly, Rey Mysterio has only competed in one Money in the Bank Ladder Match before his upcoming attempt at "climbing the corporate ladder" at Money in the Bank. This could turn out to be Mysterio's last one as well and hopefully, he has a characteristically great showing.

However, it does not look like Mysterio will topple Drew McIntyre or anyone else to become the WWE Champion in 2020. In fact, if he were to win the WWE Title, a more tempting option would have been to pull the trigger during his title match with Brock Lesnar at last year's Survivor Series.

WWE could surely tell a fascinating story with Rey Mysterio as Mr. Money in the Bank. One final run at the top with the WWE Title would put a ribbon on Mysterio's legendary career, making him a sure-fire Hall of Fame headliner, but it is a tough ask.

Mysterio's contributions on Monday Night RAW could now be limited to helping other talents get over while putting on performances like it was 2009 all over again. He does not need to win Money in the Bank to keep doing that.

#3 Baron Corbin

2-time Mr. Money in the Bank?

Despite winning Money in the Bank in the past, Baron Corbin has never been a World Champion in WWE. His run as Mr. Money in the Bank was pretty terrible, culminating in an embarrassing defeat to Jinder Mahal. It was the worst Money in the Bank cash-in of all time.

So Corbin has some unfinished business with this contract. He has improved leaps and bounds since that fateful night in 2017, so maybe WWE will give him another opportunity with the Money in the Bank briefcase. Corbin is now one of the most dependable heels in the company.

The 2019 King of the Ring winner has stated his desire to be called King Money in the Bank and while fusing the two gimmicks into one may sound ridiculous, it is something that is right up WWE's creative alley.

However, it is hard to imagine King Corbin as the next Universal Champion in a world where The Fiend is holding the title. Perhaps, he could move to RAW and cash in on Drew McIntyre. That would be the ultimate heel move.

#2 Aleister Black

One of the top stars on RAW.

For a long time, Aleister Black was the overwhelming favorite to win the men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Paul Heyman has put a lot behind the former NXT Champion on Monday Night RAW, turning him into a star.

Black has been groomed to enter the main event scene, and a match against Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship is an exciting prospect. He would even make an interesting Money in the Bank winner. A man like Aleister Black lurking around in the shadows with the contract is a very intriguing concept.

It makes sense for Black to become Mr. Money in the Bank as it is natural progression towards his first WWE Title, but it does not necessarily fit his character. The Dutch Destroyer usually steps up to the challenges of others and never hides from anyone.

Also, Black's current entrance would require a slight logistical change to accommodate the Money in the Bank briefcase. That being said, Aleister Black still has a shot at winning Money in the Bank thanks to the stock Paul Heyman put in him. And had the original field remained the same, he would have won it.

#1 AJ Styles

Back from the dead, to win Money in the Bank?

The final competitor to be added to the men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match is AJ Styles, who returned on RAW and defeated Humberto Carrillo to win the Last Chance Gauntlet. This was his first WWE appearance since stealing the show at WrestleMania 36, alongside The Undertaker.

That Boneyard match was fantastic and may have raised AJ's stock a whole lot. The Money in the Bank briefcase could be a just reward for helping Undertaker to his best WrestleMania match in seven years. The Phenomenal One would be a good choice to win it as well.

While it would have worked much better had Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson still been in WWE, AJ Styles with the briefcase seems like a perfect match. He is a cunning and vicious heel, with the capability to sneak from behind and take what he wants.

The heel work Styles did in his 'Mania program with Undertaker unlocked a new dimension of him. And now, he has momentum on his side as well. Money in the Bank contract or not, a return to the main event is inevitable for him.

And looking at how long he was on top of the card, it may come as a surprise that AJ Styles is only a 2-time WWE Champion. It's time he adds to that, doing so by "climbing the corporate ladder" and winning Money in the Bank.
