WWE Money in the Bank: 5 Surprises that could happen- New Universal Champion, Big return?

So much could potentially happen at Money in the Bank
So much could potentially happen at Money in the Bank

WWE Money in the Bank is a week away and it coincides with the final episode of Game of Thrones. As ill-timed as the show will be, I'm certain that a lot of us in the WWE Universe will be glued to our WWE Network accounts to see who comes out on top at the pay-per-view.

The card is actually not bad at all and the thrill of two ladder matches is impossible to ignore. Two Superstars will ascend to the next level and stand a chance to become top players.

WWE knows that a surprise or two (or five in this case) will draw audiences in, to watch the action continue on RAW and SmackDown Live. And for the same reason, I present before you, surprises that could potentially happen at Money in the Bank.

I look forward to reading your comments and reactions in the section right below.


#5 Drew McIntyre cashes in, becomes the Universal Champion

A lot of people believe that Drew McIntyre is ready to be the Universal Champion. He certainly has all of the physical tools necessary to be Champion. He also looks like he belongs on a WWE poster, because of this reason.

So let's assume that he goes on to win Money in the Bank. If he does, he could certainly cash in his contract on the very same night and become the next Universal Champion. And the title picture on the red brand will become very interesting indeed.

This could be why both Rollins and Styles are babyfaces competing for the same prize. Both of them could be Drew McIntyre's prospective opponents in the weeks and months that follow, and since they are all extraordinary performers, the matches will be quite solid indeed.

#4 Becky Lynch defeats Charlotte Flair, Mandy Rose cashes in

Becky Lynch will be competing twice at Money in the Bank 2019. She will first go up against Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship and then against Lacey Evans for the RAW Women's Championship. I'm assuming that she'll lose one of her titles.

So, it's very obvious that Mandy Rose has been getting an incredible push on WWE TV over the past few weeks and quite deservedly so. Let's assume for a minute that her build has been in preparation for her becoming Miss Money in the Bank soon. What this means is that she could potentially cash in on 'The Man'.

This could lead to a whole bunch of new challengers and feuds on the blue brand. Of course, the obvious contenders exist but there could be a woman who could go on to have a very heated feud with Rose...

#3 Sonya Deville attacks Mandy Rose for being the chosen one

If you noticed the build to Money in the Bank, you'll know that Sonya Deville gave up her spot to Mandy Rose. I'm guessing there was a storyline reason for the same, because if not, it was a very weird move.

I'm guessing that during the course of the match, when Mandy Rose has the contest won, Sonya Deville could interfere and cost her friend her big opportunity. This would effectively turn Deville heel and Mandy Rose face, for the coming weeks.

Of course, this point is only applicable if the plans are not for Mandy Rose to become Miss Money in the Bank. But the list of contenders in the match is just so weak that she just seems like the outright favorite.

Maybe they will let Alexa Bliss commence on yet another Money in the Bank run.

#2 Xavier Woods costs Kofi Kingston the prestigious WWE Championship

Speaking of friends turning on one another, Kevin Owens may not be the only member to quit The New Day. Xavier Woods is far too talented an individual to be sitting on the sidelines as an ancillary character in the Kofi Kingston story. What if it is Woods who helps Kevin Owens become WWE Champion?

This could effectively take Kofi Kingston out of the title picture to feud with Xavier Woods, while Kevin Owens holds the Championship. Owens could move on to a whole bunch of new challengers from Roman Reigns to Lars Sullivan. This will freshen up the title picture quite significantly.

Woods have been little more than a cheerleader for Kofi Kingston since WrestleMania and it is not fair to someone with his talent, in my opinion. Plus, Big E could adopt a brand new character upon his return, dissolving the New Day.

#1 The Firefly Fun House assaults Bryan and Rowan

Daniel Bryan and Rowan promised us a tag team revolution shortly after they won the coveted titles this week. What if they come out at Money in the Bank and lay out an open challenge for any tag team to come up and answer their call?

Only this time, it is the Firefly Fun House that steps out with Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper as Mercy The Buzzard. All of the members involved in the mix will have had some kind of interaction with the Wyatt Family previously, so this could all turn out to be very interesting indeed.

Imagine if Daniel Bryan and Rowan get absorbed into the Firefly Fun House as well. It could lead to the creation of a new creepy, crazy Wyatt Family.

And if this happens, Money in the Bank could be the show of the year!
