The Money In The Bank pay-per-view is just a few weeks away and the management and the writers will want to make the most of this opportunity to give some of its stars a major push. A lot of emerging superstars have been given pushes in the past (not just with the briefcase) and have gone on to do some great things with the company.
This has been proof of the significance of this event and how it can really make or break a career in the long-run, with the WWE utilizing the pay-per-view to really build-up names that have showcased talent. Keeping that in mind, this could yet again be an occasion where the company now hands some of its wasted mid-carders a push that can bring them back to life.
Here are five superstars that could get the push, though they will not feature in the ladder matches.
#5 The Miz
The Miz has been trying hard to make an impact and make his transformation from a heel to a baby-face work, though things have not gone that well since he made his return to RAW. He has once again been involved in a feud with Shane McMahon, where he has been chasing around the latter at times while getting up beaten on others.
The writers are trying to build a strong storyline after all the hype that has been going around his change of character in the company. The former Intercontinental and WWE champion now needs a push to make his new character work and the steel-cage match could be the right kind of push that he has been waiting for.
A win over his fierce nemesis could end this personal rivalry at this very event and make The Miz a serious contender for some titles in the days to come.
#4 Elias
Though it may seem that Elias is doing well for himself in the WWE at present, he hasn’t really been given a big push and is yet to win his first title with the company. He has been performing really well with his guitar-acts and has the crowd singing his tunes on various occasions as well, despite being a heel. This means that he is doing something right and finally deserves more credit to his name than what he is getting.
With that being said, this could be the right time to give him a push that can make him something more than just a performer and can enforce him as “championship-material” for once. He has been a dedicated superstar for the company for quite some time and it is high time that he gets a push. His match against Roman could also add more fuel to the fire, with regards to the latter’s rivalry with the bosses.
#3 Rey Mysterio
Since his return to the WWE, the master of the 619 has been more focused on the promotion of his son Dominic, than himself. He has not really looked like a champion, though he has a lot to offer to the company. He is a brilliant performer and can win the crowds over with his presence in the ring if given the right kind of push.
After a humiliating loss at Wrestlemania against Joe, this could be the time that Rey finally lives up to the fan’s expectations and gets a win and a title push. He has been the smallest big-man in the company for quite some time and could once again prove that he never gives up, which is why he is one of the best in the business.
A push now could once again get the crowd buzzing and he can really make a name for himself since his return, which can shake-up things in the company.
#2 Lacey Evans
With rumors going around that Becky will possibly lose her titles at the show, Lacey could be the first one to capitalize on this. The Man may go down to the Lady, who might be receiving her first push at Money In The Bank and this could be the start of a new long-term rivalry.
Becky 2 Belts has been involved in multiple feuds with Charlotte Flair and the company now wants something new for its fans, who are bored of the same old story. That is the main reason that they did not want The Queen in the title match at Wrestlemania, though Vince and his writers did not agree to that.
However, a double champ does reduce the possibility of having more title matches, which add more value to a pay-per-view. Due to this, a new face like Lacey Evans could be given the push and it would mean that this could be the start of something special.
#1 Kevin Owens
The former Universal champion is back on SmackDown Live and he has been doing well, in making a name of himself since his return from an injury. KO has been on the top heels on the show, as he attacked the New Day and is now going to take on Kofi Kingston. With Sami Zayn back in his corner too and the duo looking strong yet again, it seems that Owens could be getting a push soon enough as well.
He could be the next-in-line to be the champion and this could happen at the upcoming pay-per-view, where Kofi gets realistically screwed. This would mean that the audience would have received their Wrestlemania moment and could now be in for a shock, which would go viral and the fans would be talking about. It would also possibly be the end of “Kofimania” and as some have suggested, could be very well, the start of the end of the New Day as well. However, how true these stories are, only time will tell.
