Ranking The chances of each participant of Women's MITB 

A sophomore effort, A stacked field, A spectacular contest!
A sophomore effort, A stacked field, A spectacular contest!

A Queen, A Straight Fire, A Boss and A Whole Lot More!

The second ever, women's Money in the Bank match has an exciting setup. With both RAW and Smackdown Superstars mixed into the equation, there is a chance for far more explosive spots, after last year's SmackDown only event.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

With two brands being represented by their best women wrestlers, this one's got some exciting combos that we are yet to see. The neat thing about this booking is that the match not only meshes some varied styles but a few experienced players versus rookies.

While rumors persist that a RAW Superstar is most likely to win the white briefcase, it's a tough call considering some Smackdown competitors features top-class former champions including a certain Queen.

So let's try to predict who might eventually come out with the briefcase intact, as long as it's not James Ellsworth.


#8 Naomi

Is the glow fading?
Is the glow fading?

The former two-time women's champion hasn't had much to do on SmackDown in the past few months. Her story currently involves the Usos, with neither of them really making an impact.

After dominating SmackDown, the arrival of Charlotte Flair forced her into a supporting role. Now with Asuka is also ruling the roster, as a fourth babyface on the brand; Naomi is pretty much eating table scraps.

It's hard to see Naomi ever reach the top again, especially as the division grows tenfold each year. Even a direct route to Championship glory with the briefcase seems doubtful. Yet if she were to, that small chance deserves an apt competitor to rise against.

Fantasy Prediction: Naomi is most Likely to cash in on Asuka, and turn heel in the process.

#7 Lana

Lana is the Best?
Lana is
the Best?

To think that Lana would have a better chance than any other competitor might seem hilarious. Yet one needs to consider the potential fun of having a couple as Money in the Bank briefcase holders.

A narrative regarding Mr. and Mrs. Money in the Bank is running through the SmackDown mid-card, with a reunited Rusev and Lana. Aiden English acts as the support is the icing on the cake.

Rusev day chants will permeate across the arena during both ladder matches and expect that energy parlayed into an undeserving show of spirit for Lana. There are doubts about her skill, but even last year's winner Carmella was far from a refined performer. You never know with WWE.

Fantasy Prediction: If Lana wins, she cashes in on a beaten Carmella for an easy shot!

#6 Sasha Banks

To Be A Boss, you got To Be a Boss!
To Be A Boss, you got To Be a Boss!

With a stacked set of competitors, this is an unusual position for Sasha Banks. Her stop-start rivalry with Bayley could have a featured position here but another RAW Superstar needs big momentum heading into the summer.

It seems like WWE have lost their interest in Bayley which is sad. At the same time, this stagnates Banks as well who needs a completion to her inevitable heel turn. Maybe a cash in elsewhere might work, but seeing Banks pull that off on anyone but a sweet Bayley seems odd.

At least with this match, she'll reignite hot rivalries with Charlotte and Becky Lynch. She could just as well finally mix it up with Moon or Naomi. The fact that Banks stands so low despite her talents, is a testament to how poorly WWE has handled their women's roster.

Fantasy Prediction: Sasha Banks cashes in on Bayley if they ever do win anything substantial!

#5 Ember Moon

An Eclipse this way comes!
An Eclipse this way comes!

Ember Moon is one of the few NXT graduates this year with a consistent presence on the main roster. She pretty much lit up the RAW division with her fresh persona and exhilarating move-set. She's not got much substance yet, but she is a live wire that makes this match a must see.

Despite her lack of experience on the main roster, the Money in the Bank is the best opportunity for a rookie to pick a huge win en route to their first world title. Ember Moon carrying the briefcase like a proud warrior would make for a fun summer. Not only that, but it adds to the intrigue of a quick cash in or a grand heroic challenge.

Of all the competitors, Ember Moon is by far the most exciting prospect to hold the briefcase. She's no doubt a top class superstar in the making and a future champion, that is if WWE doesn't ruin her.

Fantasy Prediction: Ember Moon takes the challenge to the bully Nia Jax with a cash in!

#4 Alexa Bliss

This is Bliss's world, we just live in it
This is Bliss's world, we just live in it

No one expected Bliss to last long on top of the women's division the way she has. It's due to a combined improvement in her wrestling skills, character work and most importantly support from management. Everyone's well aware that Vince McMahon loves his blondes.

Regardless it's now time that Bliss took a backseat for other women to rise in the roster. More than that with faces like Ember Moon lying in the wings, she can put over these talents alongside Mickie James.

Yet Bliss is a high prospect in this match since she is the first ever woman to hold both RAW and SmackDown championships. It's highly unlikely she wins, but if she does it's a perfect choice for the sly cash in the formula.

Fantasy Prediction: Alexa Bliss sneaks in a vengeful win against Nia Jax!

#3 Charlotte Flair

Win or Lose, She'll do it with Flair!
Win or Lose, She'll do it with Flair!

Charlotte Flair doesn't need such a win to return back to title contention, but after missing the Royal Rumble this year; if there's any accolade she can capture then it's the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Not one person predicted Charlotte to break Asuka's streak, yet she did at WrestleMania. It's no doubt whether she is champion or not, Charlotte is the face of the division even if she is on SmackDown.

Charlotte deserves all she's got and more, but it's gets out of hands sometimes. She doesn't need the briefcase, but it doesn't prevent from imagining what she could do with it.

Fantasy Prediction: Charlotte cashes in on Asuka, to retain her dominance in the division!

#2 Natalya

It ain't about the Queen of Harts but the Rowdy One!
It ain't about the Queen of Harts but the Rowdy One!

How high is too high when it comes to Natalya?

The veteran Superstar has pretty much accomplished all she can in the company. No offense to her, but she is in a position where it's vital that she grooms the incoming addition to the roster.

As such WWE has set it up right that she tag along with their big get; Ronda Rousey. The writing is pretty much on the wall with this one. Natalya sooner or later will betray her so-called compatriot, and in turn, ignite the first lengthy feud for the rowdy one.

It's a great option, but one that WWE might be too inclined to attach the RAW women's championship too. Whether after her victory against Nia Jax, or during the match itself. If Natalya does win, then expect a title run to put Rousey over and that's a bit off-putting.

Fantasy Prediction: An envious Natalya cashes in on Ronda Rousey for an extra sting.

#1 Becky Lynch

Straight Fire shall burn through the field!
Straight Fire shall burn through the field!

With momentum on her side and a fitting story to tell, one could see Becky Lynch give her best in order to finally return to the top. She scored a huge victory against best friend Charlotte Flair, on Smackdown last week.

Though common sense maintains that the Superstar heading into the PPV with momentum doesn't meet good fate most of the time. In this case, one begs to differ. This is especially true considering the thorough line running through Lynch's story, as Charlotte's sidekick.

She's been overlooked for far too long. The best storyteller on the WWE women's roster, Lynch's victory could propel her to a showdown and heel turn years in the making. Lynch is in effect a great choice to win, especially cause the fan's demand it and no better PPV like Money in the Bank appreciates the fans.

Fantasy Prediction: Becky Lynch scores and cashes in on Charlotte, to turn heel!
