Who will walk out of Money in the Bank with the SmackDown Women's Championship?

The fall out from last month's WrestleMania pay-per-view has allowed Tamina to become a shock challenger for Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship at the Money in the Bank PPV.

In recent weeks, the former 24/7 Champion has been forced to feud with both Sasha Banks and Bayley headed into this weekend's show. However, she was the one who had the final say when she pinned the Women's Champion this past week on SmackDown.

Tamina has been part of WWE's main roster for a decade and has never been able to win a Women's Championship. Could the tide be about to turn for the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka? Or could Bayley and Sasha Banks have one last trick up their sleeves this weekend?


#5. Bayley retains the SmackDown Women's Championship

Bayley won the SmackDown Women's Championship back in 2019 when she turned up on the blue brand with a new hair cut and a new attitude. In the past, Bayley was seen as a pushover by the other women in the locker room, but this mindset has now changed since the Sasha Banks and she have dominated SmackDown for almost a year.

The two women have laid waste to all of the other who have stood in their path, including Lacey Evans and Naomi, and it appears that Tamina could be the next name on that list.

There is a hint of a storyline brewing between Sasha Banks and Bayley, and this would only make sense if the company was able to keep the title on Bayley heading into SummerSlam and continue to tease this split. The former NXT Women's Champion will likely find a way past her latest challenger, but it's also likely that it won't be within the rules.

#4. Tamina finally wins a Women's Championship in WWE

It's been a long wait for Tamina to become SmackDown Women's Champion or a Women's Champion of any kind.

Tamina has been on WWE's main roster for more than a decade and has had only a handful of shots at Championships, with this being her first singles Championship match since 2014.

The current climate in WWE is looking bleak given the recent releases, but the fact that Kofi Kingston was pushed to the World Championship last year definitely gives Tamina some hope here. She hasn't got a lot of years left when it comes to her in-ring career and the mother of two would love to go out with a bang. Handing her a Championship run in possibly the twilight years of her career would be a fantastic way to do it.

Vince McMahon is all about the shocks and Tamina becoming Women's Champion would the biggest shock of the night, so don't count her out.

#3. Interference from Sasha Banks

As already noted, Sasha Banks has played a huge role in this feud over the past few months. The Boss' loss to Tamina a few weeks ago on SmackDown is the main reason why Bayley is being forced to defend her title at Money in the Bank.

Sasha Banks has been a thorn in the side of Tamina and it's likely that WWE isn't set to ban her from ringside, so she will be onhand to interfere. The issue here is that the former Women's Champion could interfere and help Bayley win, or her interference could be the reason that Bayley loses the Championship.

It could go another way where her interference leads to a disqualification victory for Tamina, which means that Bayley would be forced to face her again, which may put more strain on their friendship. WWE seemingly has a number of options here to include Banks in the match., but it depends on whether or not they are ready to pull the trigger on her feud with Bayley.

#2. Interference from Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans lost her Women's Championship match to Bayley back at The Royal Rumble, but the Sassy Southern Belle hasn't been able to walk away from the feud since Sasha Banks and Bayley made it personal.

The former Women's Tag Team Champions included Lacey's daughter Summer in their feud and even attacked her mother whilst she sat at ringside. This is something Evans is waiting to get some revenge for and has even come close a number of times.

Evans helped Tamina pick up the win over Bayley and Sasha Banks this past week on SmackDown and it's obvious that the former NXT star will be there to even out the numbers game if need be.

Evans has had issues with Banks in the past, so if The Boss decides to include herself in the match, then it's likely that Lacey Evans will be on hand to ensure that Tamina only has to fight against one member of The Boss 'N' Hug Connection.

#1. Money in the Bank cash-in

Money in the Bank takes place tomorrow night and given the fact that either Dana Brooke, Carmella, or Lacey Evans could win the contract ladder match means that Bayley could be forced more than one opponent tomorrow night.

Bayley cashed in her Money in the Bank contract following her victory last year and was able to win the match against Charlotte to become champion, which means that there is nothing stopping this year's winner from following in her footsteps.

Alexa Bliss also cashed in on the same night when she won the contract and looked to prevent Ronda Rousey from becoming champion when interfered her Championship match with Nia Jax and cashed in her contract.

The contract match-winner has two options tomorrow night, they can either cash in mid-match and turn it into a triple threat, or they can wait until a winner is crowned and then cash in when the champion is already exhausted. Either way, the tease of a cash-in is always there this time of year.
