One cannot deny that inspite of the vehement criticism WWE has received over the last few weeks, every single fan will have their eyes glued to the WWE Network when the 2019 Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match finally hits our screens.
While I may sound too optimistic, I genuinely feel that this year's Ladder Match could possibly end up being - one of the greatest ladder matches this company has ever booked.
Just look at the participants. King Ricochet, Finn Balor, Andrade 'Cien' Almas, Randy Orton, Drew Mcintyre, Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin, and Mustafa Ali.
All the eight superstars carry substantial quality in their arsenal to tear the house down and give the WWE Universe something they may never forget.
Granted that Braun Strowman's entry into the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match would have guaranteed absolute havoc, Sami Zayn's surprising inclusion has left me baffled and amused.
Therefore, in this article, we will analyze all the eight participants' chances and predict who eventually might come out winning it all this Sunday.
#8 Ali (SmackDown Live)
It's undeniable that Ali is destined to become one of WWE's most accomplished superstars and while he will cause problems for the other participants, he is not the favorite heading into this Sunday's Ladder match.
His outstanding athletic prowess will play a significant role in captivating the audience's attention and he will eventually come out earning the respect of the WWE Universe.
However, with matches of such stature where a superstar such as Ali would be willing to put it all on the line, his daring maneuvers could eventually cost him the briefcase.
#7 Ricochet (Raw)
Another WWE superstar who will do all things necessary to grab the briefcase is Monday Night Raw's most athletically gifted performer, Ricochet.
Although he has stood out with his undeniably beautiful aerial prowess, babyfaces like himself are in this bout to bolster the match's in-ring potential.
His versatility would prove beneficial in keeping the audience's at the edge of their seats, but if you're putting your money on Ricochet this Sunday, you better start thinking otherwise.
#6 Baron Corbin (Raw)
While for many reasons understood only by the WWE management, Baron Corbin will head to the XL Arena in Hartford, Connecticut as the absolute favorite.
However, after costing Braun Strowman an opportunity in this year's Ladder Match, it won't come as a surprise if The Monster Among Men absolutely bulldozes him out of the arena.
He will do his bit to gravitate nuclear heat from the audience's who certainly don't want to see him win anything, but a late appearance by Strowman would save the day and keep him far, far away from the briefcase.
#5 Randy Orton (SmackDown Live)
One of the most experienced superstars in Randy Orton will head to the XL Arena in hopes of cementing his position as one of the all-time greats.
While he has remained pretty consistent ever since turning heel, the chances of him grabbing that briefcase might disappoint some hardcore Orton fans.
Moreover, WWE's next trip to Saudi Arabia would see The Legend Killer engage in a wild slug fest with Triple H which would surely keep him in the spotlight, for good.
Although the other seven participants will have a hard time tussling it out with him this Sunday, but Orton's destructive finishing move may not prove enough to land him the briefcase.
#4 Finn Balor (SmackDown Live)
If he's not coming out as The Demon King, will Finn Balor ever be considered a favorite in any contest? Well, his credibility as an in-ring performer may earn him a lot of respect, but Balor does not come across as a favorite heading into this Sunday's match.
However, the only reason why he stands so above from the other four participants listed below him because of his history with A.J. Styles and The Club.
Considering that The Phenomenal One has been dropping hints on a potential heel turn, the possibility of The Extraordinary Irishman turning heel remains a 50-50.
If he does turn towards the dark side of the tracks and wins the briefcase, his victory could keep the fans hooked at the edge of their seats till the very end of the Universal Championship match.
#3 Drew Mcintyre (Raw)
If ruthless aggression is anything to take into concern in this bout, then Drew Mcintyre stands out as one of the most dangerous participants heading into this Sunday's Ladder match.
Since Vince McMahon has booked him strongly ever since he returned to Monday Night Raw, he could potentially shock us all this Sunday.
However, I believe that the company are gradually building him to eventually dethrone Seth Rollins as the Universal Champion. Whether that happens at Summer Slam or WrestleMania 36, Mcintyre may fall short this Sunday.
Plus, his rivalry with Braun Strowman could play a decisive factor in changing the complexion of this match.
#2 Sami Zayn (Raw)
There's no superstar in the WWE that deserves to win matches of such importance other than Sami Zayn. Despite being looked upon as a mid-card to best type of a heel, Zayn's recent transition as 'The Critic of The Critics' has ascended him as a major player.
Moreover, his victory over The Monster Among Men was huge and could possibly change the landscape of this Sunday's Ladder match.
Apart from pulling off risky maneuvers, I definitely believe that Sami Zayn could prove to be the ultimate opportunist and grab the briefcase, while The Monster Among Men continues to brutalize Drew Mcintyre and Baron Corbin.
#1 Andrade 'Cien' Almas (SmackDown Live)
One cannot deny that the future of WWE lies in Andrade 'Cien' Almas. The former NXT Champion possesses all the credentials to outshine all the other seven participants this Sunday.
Since Vince McMahon is finally giving him a push, he is undoubtedly everyone's favorite to win the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Although his ties with Charlotte Flair could prove beneficial, one can't help but admit that his athleticism and in-ring quality is off-the-charts.
