There are several potential finishes for tonight's triple threat Money in the Bank qualifying match on Raw

WWE's Money in the Bank contract ladder match is now mere weeks away and several spots in the men's and women's matches have already been decided.

Last week on RAW, Ricochet, Riddle and John Morrison booked their places in the match at the expense of AJ Styles, Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.

Despite several WWE Superstars putting forward a case for being included in the Money In The Bank ladder match, it was decided that Styles, McIntyre and Orton would face off for the final place this week on RAW.

There are several combustible elements in this triple threat match, which means that WWE has many options when it comes to potential finishes.


#5. WWE Superstars invade the match to stake their claim for the Money in the Bank Ladder match

Last week on RAW, three superstars were able to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match after winning their respective bouts.

It's unclear how these matches were decided, but a number of RAW Superstars including Cedric Alexander, Sheamus and Jeff Hardy were vocal about wanting to be part of the match or even just given a chance to qualify.

The three men who are battling it out to be in this week's contract ladder match are all former World Champions. It can be argued that none of these stars need the career boost that the briefcase can give.

There are several younger WWE stars in the back like Cedric Alexander who could do with the boost or even Jinder Mahal who needs something to get his career back on track.

It would be interesting if some of the younger superstars decided to invade the match to make it clear that they deserved to be part of this match as well. Triple threat rules mean that this match can't end via disqualification, but it could end in a No Contest if all three men are deemed unable to continue.

This would also allow WWE to continue the qualification matches into next week's show. They could have a battle royal or even a six-pack challenge to include every Raw superstar who deserves to take part.

#4. AJ Styles qualifies for WWE's Money in the Bank ladder match

AJ Styles is a former WWE Champion, but he was recently pushed into the Tag Team Division in order to partner with Omos.

The former IMPACT Wrestling legend has already noted that he is nearing the end of his career and is happy to help up-and-coming stars. Omos and Styles are the current RAW Tag Team Champions, so Omos will likely be by his side to help him overcome both Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.

Triple threat matches are no disqualification, which means that Omos can interfere if he believes that Styles needs his help.

There is also the added factor that if AJ Styles does win and qualify for the WWE Money in the Bank match, Omos could help him win the briefcase by allowing him to sit on his shoulders.

Styles' inclusion in the match opens up several possibilities for the Money in the Bank ladder match itself and would allow him to hold the contract for the first time.

#3. Drew McIntyre qualifies for the WWE Money in the Bank ladder match

Drew McIntyre failed in his quest to reclaim the WWE Championship from Bobby Lashley last weekend at Hell in a Cell.

The former Champion lost the match deemed a "last chance" bout, meaning that McIntyre won't be allowed to fight Lashley for the title again whilst he's Champion.

Of course, the Money in the Bank contract is a loophole and would mean that he has the option to cash in on Lashley whenever he thinks he is at his most vulnerable.

McIntyre has been part of the WWE Championship picture for more than a year. Whilst he doesn't need the Money in the Bank contract to ensure him an eventual title match, it could come in handy while Lashley is still champion.

Former WWE Champions Randy Orton and AJ Styles are formidable opponents but, given his recent run in the main event picture, Drew McIntyre has to be seen as the favorite in this match.

#2. Randy Orton qualifies for the WWE Money in the Bank ladder match

WWE legend Randy Orton is the only man in this match who is a former Money in the Bank contract winner.

Orton was able to climb the ladder and retrieve the contract back in 2013 before successfully cashing in on Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam to become WWE Champion.

Orton is a 14-time World Champion and currently embroiled in a storyline with Riddle. The two men are now a tag team called RK-Bro which could work in Orton's favor and give him quite the advantage over his two opponents.

Given the experience that Randy Orton has over his opponents, it's likely that The Viper will be the one to come out on top.

The only reason that The Apex Predator lost his qualifying match last week on RAW was because of Riddle. If the former United States Champion has to redeem himself this week, he could be the reason Orton goes on to be part of the ladder match alongside his tag team partner.

#1. Omos or Riddle play a huge outcome in the winner of this WWE Money in the Bank qualifying match

All three men in this Money in the Bank qualifying match are former WWE Champions and have the experience to win the ladder match if given the chance.

Drew McIntrye is the only superstar in this bout that doesn't have anyone in his corner. Whilst Omos and Riddle could help Randy Orton and AJ Styles, they could also be hindrances.

Last week on RAW, Riddle was the reason Randy Orton lost his match. If he's at ringside once again, he could be the reason that Orton loses his last chance to qualify.

Riddle is already in the match and could see Orton's inclusion as a threat to him and his ability to win the contract. Omos could also be at ringside to help AJ Styles but inadvertently cost his tag team partner the match.

After all, Styles and Omos have the WWE Tag Team Championship picture to focus. Therefore, Omos could be doing himself and The Phenomenal One a favor if he costs him a place in the ladder match.
