WWE Money in the Bank - Final Card & Predictions

Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match

WWE Money in the Bank 2018: Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match

We agree with Las Vegas and believe Big E will be The New Day's representative in this match, so that will be assumed from here on out. Odds makers don't only believe Big E will be in the match; but, he is one of the odds on favorites to come away the victor. We don't share that same level of positivity for Big E. It has been awhile since he has wrestled regularly as a singles competitor and he won't have his New Day brethren to aid him in his quest for victory.

Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman are similar, both large dominant monsters that will invoke fear in their fellow competitors; but, can the two be involved in the same match without drawing attention to one another? Look for these two to focus on each other to such an extent that they leave Money in the Bank with a new feud heading into SummerSlam; but, without the coveted briefcase.

Bobby Roode has been an afterthought of late and until creative has serious plans for the former NXT Champion, we can't see him coming away with something as significant as the Money in the Bank briefcase.

This leaves four men; The Miz, Finn Balor, Rusev and Kevin Owens. Rusev has been fantastic and is undoubtedly over with WWE audiences; however, there has been little indication that the front office feels the same way. The odds on favorite Miz is superb; but, would be a huge loss to the mid-card if he were to suddenly become a WWE Championship contender. Kevin Owens and Balor are both former Universal Champions and each are owed a Universal Championship opportunity that they have been swindled from. That will be a major motivating factor for each man. While Owens would be ideal as the prototypical Money in the Bank heel, his struggles with heights may prove to be a major disadvantage for the former Universal Champion. Finn Balor; however, has shown no aversion to being in the air. Look for Balor to get the win and cash-in on Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.

Winner: Finn Balor
