WWE Money in the Bank: 3 matches the company could confirm this week 

Money in the Bank is the next pay-per-view of WWE and is set to take place in one week. Things got interesting after the introduction of the Wild Card Rule last week, which was certainly a desperate attempt to improve the ratings.

Money in the Bank will take place at XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut. It will be the first pay-per-view after the Showcase of Immortals, and the anticipation will be sky-high. Money in the Bank ladder matches will be held, and are the primary attractions of the event. Given the women's Money in the Bank ladder match started in 2017, two ladder matches will occur this year as well.

Several matches are confirmed for the pay-per-view. The Universal Championship will be on the line when Seth Rollins faces AJ Style, while Kofi Kingston will defend the WWE World Title against Kevin Owens.

Becky Lynch will compete twice at XL Center, as The Man will fight Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair on the same night. Roman Reigns is also set to lock horns with Elias.

The Miz and Shane McMahon will collide in a rematch of WrestleMania, which will take place in a Steel Cage, while Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio will tussle for the US Title. It is the final week before Money in the Bank and some matches could be finalized.

Here we discuss three matches WWE might confirm this week.

#3 The Viking Raiders vs Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins

The Viking Raiders have been unstoppable since making their main roster debut a couple of weeks ago. They destroyed everything in their path, and they are likely to be the next challengers of the RAW Tag Team Champions. As a matter of fact, Erik and Ivar pinned the current champions last week.

Some notable Tag Teams became part of the red brand after the Show of Shows. While The Viking Raiders made their main roster debut after WrestleMania, The Usos and The Club swapped brands after the Superstar Shake-up. With The Usos involved in a feud with the Revival, they are not in the title picture.

The Viking Raiders are expected to face Hawkins and Ryder at Money in the Bank. The former NXT Tag Team Champions will be favorites to grab the twin belts at XL Center.

#2 The IIconics vs Asuka and Kairi Sane

Kairi Sane made her main roster debut on the SmackDown Live after WrestleMania. The Pirate Princess and Asuka have taken the women's tag team division by storm in the last few weeks. Judging by their rivalry with The IIconics, Asuka, and Sane will be their next challengers, and the match could be announced for Money in the Bank this week.

Peyton Royce and Billie Kay won the women's tag team titles at the Grandest Stage of Them All, but it has not been an impressive run for the Australian duo. The two women have been getting pinned on RAW and SmackDown Live every week, and fans have raised eyebrows with regards their credibility as champions.

Kairi Sane already pinned Peyton Royce in a singles bout on SmackDown Live. The women's tag team titles are expected to switch hands at XL Center. Sane and Asuka could be dominating champions if they manage to grab the twin belts.

#1 Lars Sullivan vs Matt Hardy and R-Truth (Handicap Match)

There is no denying that Lars Sullivan has been a force to reckon with since his main roster debut.

The Freak has wrecked everything in his path on RAW and SmackDown. Though Sullivan is a member of the blue brand after the Superstar Shake-up, he appeared on RAW via the wild card rule last week. Sullivan obliterated No Way Jose on the red brand, and he assaulted Matt Hardy and R-Truth in the backstage area of SmackDown Live.

Sullivan has been on a roll on the main roster, but he has not fought in a match. Hence, the former NXT sensation could have his debut match at Money in the Bank, and the announcement could be made on SmackDown Live this week.

Jeff Hardy got injured following an attack from the Freak. The other half of the Hardy Boyz, Matt Hardy, could be seeking revenge for his brother. Despite getting destroyed by Sullivan, R-Truth is not backing down as well.

Considering Sullivan attacked R-Truth and Matt Hardy last week, the company could be planning a match for Money in the Bank. Sullivan could face the team of R-Truth and Matt Hardy in a handicap match at Money in the Bank.
