The post-WrestleMania storylines are gradually developing. Following the Superstar Shake-up, we saw several superstars swap brands. The Superstar Shake-up enabled Vince McMahon's billion dollar company to produce new rivalries.

Money in the Bank is the upcoming pay-per-view of WWE, and the excitement is rising every week. With three weeks left for the event, the company is aiming to provide some blockbuster bouts.

Already, four matches are confirmed for Money in the Bank. Roman Reigns will square off with Elias, while AJ Styles will challenge the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins. The double champion Becky Lynch will defend the red belt against Lacey Evans and the blue belt against Charlotte Flair on the same night.

The main attraction of Money in the Bank is the ladder match which happens every year. Several competitors fight for the Money in the Bank briefcase in a ladder match, and the winner gets an opportunity to cash in the contract anytime. Since the women's Money in the Bank match began in 2017, there will be two ladder matches.

Money in the Bank is scheduled to be held at XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, next month. Besides some top-tier superstars, some underrated superstars could surprisingly win the match, as it is a ladder match.

Here we discuss three underutilized superstars who could win the Money in the Bank match this year.


#3 Andrade

Andrade is an underestimated superstar who could surprise everyone by winning the Money in the Bank match. The former NXT Champion did not have a singles match at the Show of Shows, but he swapped brands after WrestleMania. Interestingly, Andrade went back to SmackDown Live this week, and he will stay on the blue brand.

Andrade was a colossal figure in NXT as he dominated the developmental brand over two years. He had memorable bouts with Johnny Gargano, Aleister Black, Drew McIntyre, Tommaso Ciampa, and many more. Apart from winning the NXT Championship, he also won the Match of the Year in 2018.

Unfortunately, Andrade failed to replicate the same success on the main roster. He has been underutilized after making his debut last year. Considering his dexterity in the squared circle, he deserves to be a top guy of the blue brand. Andrade is competent enough to be the WWE World Champion, and it will not be surprising if he wins the Money in the Bank match.

#2 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn has been extremely impressive after making his return from injury. Zayn was sidelined due to an injury last year, but he came back on the RAW after WrestleMania. Zayn, who is a popular name in the WWE Universe, turned heel immediately after his return and he has been dissing the fans every week.

Zayn is another superstar who was a massive name in NXT. Due to his skill in the ring, he produced astounding bouts in the developmental brand. Besides winning the NXT Championship, he also won the NXT Superstar of the Year award.

Although Zayn lost his way after arriving on the main roster, he can rejuvenate himself as a remarkable heel. His recent segments as a bad guy gravitated the attention of fans, and it will not be surprising if he starts to get a big push.

Zayn is undoubtedly a World Championship material who has all the necessary qualities, and he could chase the most coveted prize of the red brand after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase.

#1 Aleister Black

Aleister Black is one of the underrated superstars who could grab the Money in the Bank contract this year. Black is a new arrival on the main roster who made his debut after Elimination Chamber this year.

The Dutch Destroyer had a fruitful run in the tag team division as he teamed up with Ricochet. They competed as a tag team at the Showcase of Immortals, but the two men got separated after WrestleMania. Black was drafted to SmackDown Live after Superstar Shake-up last week, and he is expected to dominate the blue brand as a singles superstar.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Black was one of the biggest names of NXT in the last few years. Black is swift in the squared circle, and he is known for his spectacular striking ability which comes from his kickboxing background. Black is former NXT Champion who had a fruitful run as the champion.

There is no denying that Black could be a great asset as a singles superstar and he is competent enough to be a WWE Champion in the future. Judging by his charisma and proficiency in the ring, Vince McMahon's billion dollar company might have big plans for the former NXT Champion.
