This year's Money in the Bank PPV is just a few days away from us, as the event will take place on May 19, 2019, at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. WWE has done a pretty good job with the match card and if booked correctly, it could be one of the best editions of the PPV so far. As much as 11 matches have been announced for the show, along with the two Money in the Bank ladder matches, one for the men and the other for women.
There are many things that lead to the success of a huge event like Money in the Bank. While great matches and in-ring action always comes first, the success of a PPV also depends on the factor of "unpredictability" and some unexpected moments that the fans didn't see coming. These moments could be unexpected match outcomes, a heel turn, a huge return or anything else.
In this article, let's take a look at the 4 unexpected things that WWE can do to shock everyone this Sunday at Money in the Bank. Do let me know in the comments section who you are rooting for this Sunday to become Mr. and Miss Money in the Bank.
#4 Xavier Woods turns on Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston had a dream Road to WrestleMania this year that culminated with him defeating Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to win his first WWE Championship. He is scheduled to defend his title against Kevin Owens at this Sunday. Owens has been continuously pointing out that the only reason Kofi is the Champion is because of New Day, which is to some extent true as Big E and Xavier Woods have been a huge part in helping Kofi become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship.
Kofi assured Xavier backstage on tonight's SmackDown that he will take care of Owens on his own, and he might do the same this Sunday as well. But what if Xavier appears even after this, not to help Kofi but screw him over? A heel turn from Xavier at this point would be shocking and can lead to a great feud between the two current New Day members. This could either lead to Kevin Owens becoming the new WWE Champion, or Xavier challenging Kofi for the title.
#3 Brock Lesnar returns, only to be confronted by Lars Sullivan
WWE recently announced their return to Saudi Arabia next month, and have also announced The Undertaker vs Goldberg and Randy Orton vs Triple H for the show. Another huge superstar announced for the PPV is The Beast, Brock Lesnar.
We still don't know who he will be facing at the show, and thus an appearance from The Beast at MITB this Sunday to set up his match for Saudi would be amazing. But WWE could genuinely shock us all by letting their newest monster, Lars Sullivan, confront him to set up a match between the two.
#2 AJ Styles defeats Seth Rollins clean to become the new Universal Champion
Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles has to be a dream match for most of the pro wrestling fans out there. While WWE has booked this match for MITB, the build-up for the match and the rivalry has been pretty disappointing.
Even after this, there is no doubt that these two will put on a classic match at Money in the Bank. With Seth winning the Universal Championship recently at WrestleMania 35, fans are predicting him to go over this Sunday. Another interesting possibility is Styles turning heel.
But what if Styles beats Rollins clean at Money in the Bank to become the new Universal Champion? Fans surely won't mind Styles beating Rollins after an amazing match, but this would surely be a massive shock.
#1 Becky Lynch loses one of her titles
Becky Lynch is about to create history at Money in the Bank this Sunday, as she will defend both of her titles on the same night against two different opponents. The last WWE Superstar to do this is her boyfriend and current Universal Champion, Seth Rollins, in 2015.
Becky Lynch famously defeated both Charlotte and Ronda Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania 35 to become the first women to hold both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship at the same time. Come Money in the Bank, she is scheduled to defend her RAW Women's Championship against Lacey Evans, and her SmackDown Women's Championship against her long term rival, Charlotte.
While the odds do seem stacked against her, especially after both her opponents took her out on RAW this past week, fans are expecting her to successfully defend both her titles at MITB. With Lacey Evans still very new to the main roster, and Charlotte already being an 8-time Women's Champion, it looks highly unlikely that any of them will win this Sunday.
Becky losing any of her matches and titles at Money in the Bank would be a huge shocker. But who could take the titles off her? Will it be one of the two challengers or will the new Miss Money in the Bank shock everyone and cash-in on Becky at MITB?
Which one of these moments and segments at MITB would you like to see? Let me know in the comments section below.
