On May 19, 2009, WWE will present the tenth edition of Money in the Bank. This year's edition of the event will emanate from XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The event will see 'The Man' Becky Lynch pulling off double duty, defending both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships against Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair respectively.

Elsewhere on the card, Seth Rollins will be putting his Universal Championship up against AJ Styles in what is being dubbed a "dream match", and there will be a potential WWE Championship match between Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens, in addition to the men and women's MITB ladder matches.

Money in the Bank has become one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year. From CM Punk's historic WWE Championship win to the first meeting between John Cena and AJ Styles, the event has showcased some great matches. This year's edition promises to be no different.

Here are three superstars who could win the men's Money in the Bank ladder match.


#3 Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath is one of the most protected stars in the WWE right now. McIntyre has wreaked havoc on his opponents ever since re-emerging on the main roster following WrestleMania 34.

His partnership with Dolph Ziggler did wonders for him, with the duo winning the RAW Tag Team Championship and having an excellent feud with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose over the said championship. But ever since splitting from Ziggler, McIntyre has truly become a force to be reckoned with on the red brand.

The Scotsman has been one of the biggest thorns in the path of The Sheild for the past few months, defeating Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose multiple times during the period. Although McIntyre ultimately fell to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, it didn't hamper his credibility one bit as McIntyre was in control for the majority of the match.

Given the kind of impact he has had and the wreckage he has caused on the red brand, it goes without saying that McIntyre is going to be a major player on Monday nights going forward.

A heel like McIntyre can do a lot with the MITB contract, and given the recent history of MITB contract winners, the Scotsman can help bring legitimacy back to the MITB briefcase.

#2 Ricochet

The newest kid on the block, Ricochet, has been able to make a lasting impression on the WWE during his time on the main roster. The King of Flight has mesmerized fans with his acrobatic skills inside the squared circle.

After being called up to the main roster following a great run in NXT, Ricochet was put in a tag team with Aleister Black, with the duo unsuccessfully challenging for both the RAW and SmackDown Tag Team titles on multiple occasions.

Black and Ricochet were put on separate shows following the Superstar Shake-up, with the former NXT North American Champion moving to the red brand. The One and Only suffered his first main roster loss against Robert Roode last week but that doesn't mean the company has given up on him.

Ricochet is one of the most skilled athletes to have graced the squared circle and is a proven draw. He has held major championships both in the US and Japan during his time on the independent circuit.

Just the thought of Ricochet being in the MITB match and the kind of things the Kentucky native could do in such a match is something which excites us to no end.

Ricochet winning the match will be the perfect way to kickstart his singles career on the main roster, and given what we have seen of The One and Only so far, he seems destined to win the Big One sometime in the near future.

#1 Andrade

WWE has been trying for years to find their next big Hispanic Superstar. From Pedro Morales to the late Eddie Gurrero, the company has had some of the most talented Latin American superstars in its ranks.

The last Hispanic Superstar to have truly shined on the greatest stage was Rey Mysterio. The Master of the 619 was one of the biggest driving forces of WWE's massive popularity in Latin America and is one of the best-masked wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside a WWE ring.

Mysterio re-signed with the company last year, but the company never stopped looking for his replacement. They tried it with Sin Cara and failed, they tried it with Alberto Del Rio and failed again. But now it seems like the company has found their next big Latin American Superstar, and he is none other than Andrade.

The former La Sombra is one of the most gifted superstars on the main roster. His matches against Johnny Gargano, Drew McIntyre, and Aleister Black during his time in NXT and his recent series of matches against Rey Mysterio are a prime example of the kind of performer he really is.

Although the former NXT Champion's main roster run has been lukewarm at best, things could turn for the better if he were to win the 2019 MITB Ladder Match.

Andrade has all the tools needed to succeed and be a top star in the company, and with a manager like Zelina Vega by his side, the sky is the limit for the Mexican Superstar. Given the disappointment of the past two years, the company needs to put the briefcase on someone who will help elevate it, and we believe Andrade is someone who can do that.

Just think of the amount of bragging Vega will do on Andrade's behalf if he were to win the match. Besides, a concept like MITB is always best-suited for a heel.
