WWE Money In The Bank takes place this Sunday in Chicago, Illinois. Despite a stacked card, the big miss from the show will be the WWE Universal Championship which will next be defended at SummerSlam.
Money In The Bank will feature five title matches and ten matches in total, including both Money In The Bank ladder matches. As of now, it looks like the WWE Championship match will main-event MITB but rumours suggest that WWE could go with Nia Jax vs Ronda Rousey as the main-event.

The main attractions of the show, though, are the two Money In The Bank ladder matches as 16 Superstars look to secure two contracts for guaranteed title shots.
Who will leave Money In The Bank with each of the coveted briefcases? Read on to check out our full preview and predictions ahead of the PPV. You can also take a look at the complete match card below.

PRE-SHOW
The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships)
The SmackDown tag-team title match has now been put on the pre-show but with a stacked card, it's justifiable. The only other match that could have taken its place is probably the Lashley-Zayn match and that's only because of the poor build.
The Bludgeon Brothers have looked unbeatable so far but the Good Brothers will definitely give them a run for their money. Gallows and Anderson run on RAW was a little lacklustre but a win at Money In The Bank could get their run on SmackDown off to a successful start.
Will we see a title change here? It seems unlikely, especially seeing that Harper and Rowan haven't been champions for long.
PREDICTION: Bludgeon Brothers win and retain
MAIN CARD
Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass
Daniel Bryan and Big Cass already met at backlash and Bryan made the seven-footer tap out. As of now, Big Cass has had a lot to say about how small and frail Daniel Bryan is, but he's only gotten the better of Bryan when he's blindsided him. It's time for Big Cass to put up or shut up at Money In The Bank.
Could Big Cass beat Bryan? I don't see it happening unless it's some sort of a DQ win.
PREDICTION: Daniel Bryan wins
Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley
If this match is as good as the build, it's going to be atrocious. Jokes apart, despite the terrible build Lashley and Zayn are both good performers and Zayn can definitely bump around for the bigger Lashley.
Lashley looks set for the big "babyface" win although the Chicago crowd's reaction could indicate otherwise.
PREDICTION: Bobby Lashley wins
Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal
Roman Reigns will meet his current arch-nemesis Jinder Mahal at Money In The Bank. Mahal was supposed to face Reigns on RAW earlier this week but Sunil Singh took Jinder's place at the last moment. Reigns beat Singh but Mahal attacked him after the match, laying him out with a Khallas.
This match seems to be a foregone conclusion on paper. Expect Reigns to win.
PREDICTIONS: Roman Reigns wins
Seth Rollins (c) vs Elias (for the WWE Intercontinental Championship)
Seth Rollins defends the WWE Intercontinental Championship this Sunday against Elias. To be honest, the feud hasn't been that great, but Seth Rollins has been consistently delivering inside the ring.
The outcome of this one is one of the harder to predict on the card. However, since I have to make a call, I'm going with Rollins to retain on this one.
PREDICTION: Seth Rollins wins and retains
Carmella (c) vs Asuka (for the SmackDown Women's Championship)
Carmella has been ultra-confident going into Money In The Bank, repeatedly claiming that since she defeated Charlotte, she'd beat Asuka too. Asuka's only loss in WWE so far came to Charlotte at WrestleMania and Asuka will not be looking to double it anytime soon.
On paper, it's a mismatch and I'll go with Asuka to pick up her first main roster title.
PREDICTION: Asuka wins
Nia Jax (c) vs Ronda Rousey (for the RAW Women's Championship)
The Nia Jax-Ronda Rousey feud started on the red carpet of NBC Upfronts and is finally heating up. Rousey made Nia Jax tap out on RAW but will she be able to win her first WWE title this Sunday?
Jax will face Rousey in the latter's first WWE singles match but don't expect Rousey to leave with the title. My guess is that Jax will retain the title and could even turn heel and align with Stephanie McMahon.
PREDICTION: Nia Jax retains
Ember Moon vs Charlotte Flair vs Naomi vs Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss vs Natalya vs Lana vs Sasha Banks (Women's MITB Ladder Match)
Four RAW Superstars and four SmackDown Superstars go at it in the second ever Women's Money In The Bank ladder match. If Ronda Rousey wins on Sunday, one Superstar who could win at MITB is Natalya, who is rumoured to be a favourite as of now.
On the SmackDown side, Charlotte has to be the favourite to win. 'The Queen' recently lost to Becky Lynch on SmackDown and will be looking to put in a strong showing at MITB.
However, I'm going with Sasha Banks as my pick.
PREDICTION: Sasha Banks
Finn Balor vs Braun Strowman vs The Miz vs Rusev vs New Day member vs Bobby Roode vs Kevin Owens vs Samoa Joe (Men's MITB Ladder Match)
The men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match sees 8 of the biggest names in WWE face off for a contract for a guaranteed title chance.
The favourite as of now has to be Braun Strowman who is easily the biggest guy in the match and has looked unstoppable for most of 2018.
However, I personally think WWE may go in another direction and have a SmackDown star win the Money In The Bank briefcase which is why I'm predicting a win for The Miz.
PREDICTION: The Miz wins the MITB briefcase
AJ Styles (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship)
The main event (probably) of Money In The Bank sees AJ Styles defend his WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing match against Shinsuke Nakamura. Their previous title matches since Nakamura turned heel haven't produced a clear winner which is why a stipulation was added this time, which Nakamura got to choose.
Expect a stellar match from two of the best performers in the world. This might be the quality match we all expected at WrestleMania. My prediction is that we're going to see a new WWE Champion crowned.
PREDICTION: Shinsuke Nakamura wins
