WWE Money in the Bank 2020: 5 Matches that could be added to the PPV

This Sunday could change things up again.
This Sunday could change things up again.

While the two Money in the Bank Ladder matches will take place simultaneously, there will still be traditional matches taking place. Both the Universal and WWE Championships will be defended while Bayley will be the only woman to put her title on the line at the PPV.

As things currently sit, the following matches have been announced:

  • The New Day (c) vs. Miz & Morrison vs. Lucha House Party vs. the Forgotten Sons (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)
  • Bayley (c) vs. Tamina (SmackDown Women's Championship)
  • Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Seth Rollins (WWE Championship)
  • Braun Strowman (c) vs. Bray Wyatt (Universal Championship)
  • Women's Money in the Bank match (Carmella, Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Dana Brooke, Asuka, and Lacey Evans)
  • Men's Money in the Bank match (Otis, Aleister Black, Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, and King Corbin)

We still have an episode of SmackDown to get through and it is on Friday night where we could see some more matches for Money In The Bank take shape. Daniel Bryan, Drew Gulak and a mystery partner are slated to face King Corbin, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura. While Sami Zayn is away, Cesaro and Nakamura have taken to aid the King in his endeavors.

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville are slated to have a singles match this Friday but their rivalry seems like it should have a featured match on a bigger show. The Money In The Bank PPV would be a perfect spot for such a match between the two former friends. We also might get a rubber match between the teams of Ricochet/Cedric Alexander and Brendan Vink/Shane Thorne. The card is far from being complete so here are five matches that could be added to the 2020 edition of Money in the Bank.


#5 Drew Gulak/Mystery partner vs. Shinsuke Nakamura/Cesaro

The mystery partner could join Gulak for a match on Sunday.
The mystery partner could join Gulak for a match on Sunday.

As mentioned in the introduction, a mystery Superstar is slated to join Bryan and Gulak in a six-man tag match against the King and his cronies this Friday. Who that partner could be is anyone's guess as the likes of Mustafa Ali, Shorty G or Elias could pop up. Of the three, The Drifter makes the most sense because he was viciously attacked by Corbin a few weeks ago and he's been feuding with the King for some time now.

Elias is technically hurt after one of those attacks, but it would make the most sense for the Drifter to show up to rattle the King's cage. Depending on which team wins on SmackDown, it stands to reason that the Superstars out of the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder match could do battle while their captains, Bryan and Corbin, vie for the Money briefcase.

Cesaro, Nakamura and Gulak have helped keep things going on Friday nights during shows without crowds, so they deserve a match at Money In The Bank. With such a layered ongoing battle between Corbin, Elias and Bryan, we could see a bout with these performers on Sunday.

#4 Bobby Lashley vs. Humberto Carrillo

Will Lashley try to inflict more damage on Carrillo?
Will Lashley try to inflict more damage on Carrillo?

Bobby Lashley was running through the competition in the Last Chance Gauntlet match on RAW to qualify for the Men's Ladder Match at Money In The Bank. That was until he ran into Carrillo. After easily dispatching Titus O'Neill, Akira Tozawa and Shelton Benjamin, Carrillo picked up a surprise win over The All Mighty after he was disqualified for putting his hands on the referee. Because of what happened, Lashley proceeded to brutalize the youngster following his elimination.

We also saw Lana trying to console her husband backstage while the gauntlet continued in the ring. Will she send her beautiful husband after the man who ended his chance at Money In The Bank or will Lashley take it upon himself to attack Carrillo even further?

Lashley has been featured on all programming following WrestleMania 36 while Carrillo has been on TV sporadically. This could be a one-off match or the start of a brief feud. If certain rumors are true, then this could be the first feud in a line for Lashley en route to a showdown with Brock Lesnar.

If that's the case, it would make sense for The All Mighty to get into a fight at Money In The Bank. The likes of Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black are busy in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Superstars such as Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe and Apollo Crews are currently out of the picture, making Carrillo the next viable opponent in his path.

#3 Sheamus vs. Jeff Hardy

Sheamus

For the last few weeks, we've seen Sheamus squash his opponents. Immediately following his match, WWE has segued into the ongoing video packages pushing the return of Jeff Hardy. It's been strategically done after each of the Celtic Warrior's wins with Michael Cole confused as to why the former WWE Champion is angry. After his dominant victories, they aren't talking about Sheamus. They're talking about Hardy. This could be done to set up a match between the former WWE Champions for Money In The Bank.

In the last episode of SmackDown, it was revealed that Hardy would be on the go-home show for Money In The Bank. Sheamus even waited ringside while the latest video package for Hardy played. As it ended, he claimed that if the Charismatic Enigma was going to be present this Friday, then so would he.

It hasn't been booked as a match but more so as a confrontation. Hardy could show up with no clue that Sheamus has been overlooked after each match to air his videos. Since a bout between the two veterans hasn't been made official yet, it's likely being saved for Sunday at Money In The Bank. It would be a decent match if there is a pre-show or to put before one of the bigger matches on the card. Don't be surprised if Hardy and the Celtic Warrior battle it out in the ring at Money In The Bank.

#2 Mandy Rose vs. Sonya Deville

The battle of former friends may spill over to MITB.
The battle of former friends may spill over to MITB.

WWE has already booked and promoted a match between the two former friends for the go-home SmackDown. Deville cost Rose a chance at the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match whereas Deville didn't even get a chance to qualify. Is it a surprise that she reacted the way she did by brutally attacking her former best friend?

The searing tension led to the match this Friday, but I think something will happen in order to stop a bout from even happening. One woman might attack the other backstage or on the way to the ring. This rivalry deserves a big stage, so even though a match is booked for SmackDown, it wouldn't be a big shock if it doesn't happen. That would allow the two women to battle it out on Sunday at Money In The Bank.

Dolph Ziggler failed to qualify for the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder match so he could also feasibly show up in some capacity on Friday. He's been smack dab in the middle of all the chicanery going on but still seems like he wants to prove his affections to Rose. Whatever happens between the two women on Friday may just lead to another battle on Sunday at Money in the Bank.

#1 RAW Tag Team Championship match: Street Profits (c) vs. Viking Raiders

The Viking Raiders won this match so a title match is in their future.
The Viking Raiders won this match so a title match is in their future.

As WWE traditionally does, a potential challenger for a title picks up a non-title win over the Champions in order to set up an official match with the belts on the line. That exact scenario played out on RAW as Ivar and Erik bested the Street Profits once again. It has maintained the narrative that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins cannot beat The Viking Raiders.

Ivar and Erik even said as much in an interview following their win over the Champions. The big moment of beating that one team that's been a thorn in their sides could come at Money In The Bank. The card is far from full and this has been an ongoing feud from NXT to the main roster. It would make perfect sense for this match to be added to Money In The Bank.

It's a little strange as both teams are technically faces but like The Usos and the New Day, feuds featuring two teams of good guys can work. The Street Profits won the titles before WrestleMania 36, so it would seem a little weird for them to lose them to The Viking Raiders at Money In The Bank. It would seem more logical for the Champs to finally get that elusive win over the team they haven't been able to beat at any level in WWE and we could be in for another classic at Money In The Bank.
