Money in the Bank 2021 is just days away and will be only the second show after WWE's return to the road, which begins later tonight. A raucous crowd is expected for the pay-per-view and the company won't disappoint. We already have a pretty stacked card confirmed for Money in the Bank 2021 and a couple of matches could still get added.
With the event set to take place this Sunday night, we took a look at some of the rumors doing the rounds ahead of the show, and they seem to suggest that Vince McMahon's promotion could have some big surprises planned for the WWE Universe.
#5 WWE could have some big surprises planned
Last Monday’s episode of RAW marked the end of the ThunderDome era as WWE gets ready to hit the road again, starting with SmackDown later tonight. The Money in the Bank pay-per-view will also take place in front of a live audience and it looks like WWE could have a few surprises planned for the night.
According to a recent report from WrestleVotes on Twitter, the company has “cool and exciting” things planned for Sunday’s event and they told fans to expect some surprises on the night:
"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," stated WrestleVotes.
Stakes are definitely going to be high at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and we have already learned that WWE Superstars have been undergoing extra training sessions in preparation for the company returning to the road.
Unfortunately, Bayley, one of the biggest successes of the ThunderDome Era, picked up a freak injury during one of these sessions and will be out for nine months.
#4 Becky Lynch to be backstage at WWE Money in the Bank 2021?
Becky Lynch’s last WWE appearance came on the RAW after the 2020 Money in the Bank pay-per-view where she informed fans that she was pregnant and was taking time off. She then relinquished the RAW Women’s Championship title to Asuka, who had won the women’s MITB briefcase the night before.
According to reports, Lynch could be returning to WWE television sooner than later and a recent report by PWInsider stated that she will be backstage this Sunday night at Money in the Bank.
"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."
Although that doesn’t confirm that Becky Lynch will be returning at Money in the Bank, her WWE return can’t be that far off at this point. This will be exciting news for the majority of the WWE Universe.
#3 Roman Reigns spoils WWE Money in the Bank match announcement?
Edge is set to team up with The Mysterios on WWE SmackDown tonight to take on Roman Reigns and The Usos in a six-man tag match. Reigns commented on the match on Twitter and may have inadvertently spoiled the announcement of another title match that could be added to the Money in the Bank card.
If you look at his tweet, he says “before the Mysterios lose their titles at #MITB” which seems to indicate that The Usos will get a shot at the SmackDown Tag Team titles this Sunday night at the pay-per-view.
#2 Favourite to win men’s Money in the Bank match revealed? (WARNING: potential spoiler)
The men’s Money in the Bank match looks stacked this year with Big E, Riddle, Seth Rollins, Ricochet, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, John Morrison and King Nakamura competing for the briefcase. This is definitely an exciting lineup because a number of the participants have never held the top title in WWE.
The fan-favorite from the Blue brand heading into the match is probably Big E. And, according to reports, he seems to be the firm favorite at this point to take home the Money in the Bank briefcase.
#1 Possible spoiler on Roman Reigns vs. Edge at WWE Money in the Bank 2021
WWE legend Edge made his return on SmackDown a few weeks ago, attacking Universal Champion Roman Reigns. He made his title ambitions pretty clear and will get his shot at the WWE Universal Championship at Money in the Bank.
Edge had already got a shot at the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37 but it wasn’t the one-on-one match he was looking for, with Daniel Bryan also in the match as a third competitor.
As revealed by Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Roman Reigns is set to defend the WWE Universal Championship in a handicap match against Rey and Dominik Mysterio soon after Money in the Bank, which means that he is definitely leaving the pay-per-view still Universal Champion:
“7/24 in Pittsburgh is listing Reigns vs. Rey & Dominik Mysterio in a handicap match with the title at stake which means Reigns has to win and putting the title up in a handicap match is stupid to begin with, as it just makes the babyfaces look like they are losers to start out with,” stated Dave Meltzer.
