MONEY IN THE BANK PREDICTIONS
Money in the Bank is fast approaching, as
I’m sure all wrestling fans will know. So we wanted to take the time to predict
what we think will happen and a little commentary on each…
1 - DOLPH ZIGGLER V BARON CORBIN
ALEX: Ziggler. I don’t think it’s likely
Ziggler will win, but I’m going with him as my pick in hope that it adds some
unpredictability to this feud, and isn’t just to put Baron over, which I
believe is the aim rightfully of this feud. I don’t think it should just be
Baron breezing past Ziggler, so hopefully we see Ziggler take the win in some
sort of cheap win that doesn’t hurt Baron but stays on the right track and
purpose of this feud
COURTNEY: Baron. I think he’s bound to win
due to the fact he’s just been moved up to the main roster. Winning this match
would mean that it would develop his character and progress his career more.
2 – APOLLO CREWS V SHEAMUS
ALEX: Apollo. This is Apollo’s first major
feud on the main roster, so I see him winning this would be a clever move as it’s
against an experienced guy in Sheamus who has been in WWE for a number of years
now, so a win for Apollo would do him good. I feel they could use Apollo fairly
well if done right, so believe this could be a start to making a good
character.
COURTNEY: Apollo. It doesn’t make sense
for Apollo to lose this match as it would just damage his development. Putting
him against Sheamus us a good move, as like Alex said, he’s experienced and can
help in developing his character.
3 – SAMI ZAYN V CESARO V CHRIS JERICHO V
DEAN AMBROSE V KEVIN OWENS VS ALBERTO DEL RIO. MONEY IN THE BANK MATCH
 |
| http://www.cagesideseats.com/2016/6/12/11910956/wwe-money -in-the-bank-2016-match-card-rumors |
ALEX: Dean. Where to start? I always love
a money in the bank match, it’s probably one of my favourite matches in
wrestling. It always delivers an entertaining match and the whole idea of
having a wrestler have the money in the bank is one of my favourite things in
wrestling. With that said, I believe this could be match of the night because
it has a great line up of guys involved, what I want to happen and see is Sami
and Kevin develop their rivalry even further, this could involve one of them
costing the other the win and them two focusing on each other instead of the
match. Cesaro would be my second pick but really feel like they’ve dropped some
important decisions with him, e.g. his recent change to coming out in a suit
and ripping it off doesn’t scream World Champ to me. This annoys me to say
because I believe Cesaro would be high up in my picks who deserve a run with
the title. I don’t see Chris winning it just because he’s not in the position
now to be here full time, I think as in recent years we’ve seen him go away,
unless he has one more run in him. Now here comes the main point, if you’ve
read any of my posts before and come across one last year, when we were
approaching the royal rumble, I mentioned that the longest we should wait until
we start thinking they aren’t doing enough with Dean is Money in the bank. I
said that I thought he could have won the royal rumble and I think I’ve had him
as my pick, we have seen glimpses of them suggesting he’s in the main event
role, even having world title shots. So now we are at Money in the bank, I
admit he’d rather win this than the royal rumble, but if he doesn’t win this
yet again, I fear they are wasting one of the best talents in wrestling, not
that he doesn’t get his fair share but more so that he could do more than he’s
given, due to his ability.
COURTNEY: Dean. I’m not sure whether this
is me wanting him to win, or whether I think he will. What I want to happen, as
they’ve teased, is a three-way rivalry between the ex-shield members. I think
it would be such an entertaining storyline and so if Dean won it he would be
able to cash it in against Seth and Roman later on in the night. Whether he was
to win that match or not, I really think it would be such a good move. I think
that Same and Kevin are going to be too occupied in their own feud to win and
then the other three are just going to fall short. I think this could
definitely be one of the best matches of the night and as long as they keep the
unpredictability in there it will have me gripped.
4 – CHARLOTTE AND DANA V NATALYA AND BECKY LYNCH
ALEX: Natalya and Becky Lynch. So this
match to me seems a bit useless, like I get they are probably protecting
Charlotte and her title until the brand split but to have her not defend it
takes away excitement from any match. After the great triple threat women's
match at Mania, they had momentum but now it's slowed down again, I would love
to see some call ups when the brand split happens so it bulks out the women's
divisions and they get a fair share just like the rest. For this match I can
see Dana turning on Charlotte or something along those lines.

COURTNEY: I’m also disappointed that this isn’t
Charlotte defending her title, I don’t enjoy watching Dana at all and I want to
see Charlotte fight without any of the tricks and unnecessary things. She is a
talented wrestler and I want to see her given that chance to defend and show
her skill as champion, to show she might be the true champ. But what I see
happening here is for Nattie and Becky to win, to tease Charlotte losing her
belt but in the next defence of her title she’ll retain it; hopefully by
herself. As a woman myself I want to see the women be given more opportunities
and the chance to show their talent along with what the men get, just doesn’t seem
that fair to me.
5 – RUSEV V TITUS O NEIL. US TITLE MATCH.
ALEX: Rusev. This match could be a decent
fun match, it's actually nice to see Titus as a singles competitor and involved
a title match, he's always deserved these kind of spots and who knows, maybe
they'll do something really good with him but I can't see Rusev dropping the
title one bit here but stranger things have happened.
COURTNEY: Rusev. I really can’t see Rusev
losing his title this quickly, just doesn’t make any sense for them to do that
in my eyes. But who knows what’ll happen.
6 – THE NEW DAY V THEVAUDEVILLIANS V THE
CLUB V ENZO AND BIG CASS. FATAL 4 WAY TAG TITLES.
ALEX: Enzo and Big Cass. Right, this has
potential to be a very fast paced exciting match, it's filled with talented
teams and I would actually be happy with any of them winning this one so that's
always good. I do feel it's out of three to win though as The Vaudevillains
probably aren't seen as a team to carry the titles just yet. That means I think
any of the other three will pick up the win, now I would be confident in New
Day keeping the titles but the brand split makes me wonder if a normal team of
two would be better fitting, I see Enzo and Big Cass winning this and staying on
Raw then New Day get drafted to Smackdown, obviously not all as one but they
tease breaking them up then they all end up getting drafted so New Day can stay
together and maybe win the Smackdown tag titles? Who knows, that's all just
theory but I think either New Day or Enzo and Cass are my two top picks for
this but I certainly wouldn't mind or be surprised if The Club won either.
COURTNEY: The New Day. I feel like The New
Day just have too much hype to lose their titles at the moment. But I do think
this will be another one of those matches where the winner is teased and teased
until someone just makes a big move and wins. I think if it were to be between
anyone it will be The New Day and Enzo and Big Cass.
7 – AJ STYLES V JOHN CENA

ALEX: John Cena. This is being dubbed as a
'Dream Match' and I would tend to agree, this has been a match of interest for
years, you could call this prior to AJ coming to WWE Mr TNA vs WWE but now AJ
is in WWE we have this possibility. I don't mind who wins this match, I'm more
intrigued to see what goes down and just how good it could be, hopefully it
lives up to the hype, I don't see it having dramatic changes to anything other
than it just being a 'dream match' but I can't see anything other than a Cena
win in this one.
COURTNEY: John Cena. It’s John Cena’s
first proper match back and I really don’t think they’ll make him lose it. I
mean it’s John Cena. He may lose another match against AJ at some point, but I don’t
see it happening this time.
8 – ROMAN REIGNS V SETH ROLLINS. WWE WORLD
TITLE.

ALEX: Roman Reigns. (Dean cashes in). I
believe this will be a good match, Seth's big returning match and he's in none
other than a WWE title match and rightfully so since he never lost the title
during his run and his return is marked in a major way by getting straight back
into the main event scene. I have a few outcomes of this and not many sway to
Rollins coming straight back and taking the title, I can see Reigns keeping it
but my preference is Dean cashing in if he wins the MITB on Reigns, I think it
adds more to it if he cashes in on Reigns setting the foundations for a future
triple threat match at Wrestlemania for the title but I can see Reigns keeping
the title or a cash in and Seth taking the title the least likely to happen but
not out of the realms of possible so I expect a few twists and turns, a lot of
near falls in this to build the tension but whatever happens it should be a
good match.
COURTNEY: Roman Reigns. I think that this and
the Money in the Bank match will be the best matches of the night. I’m a big
Roman reigns fan and so I not only want him to win but I really do think they’ll
make him keep the title. Also with this being Seth’s first proper match back it’ll
be good to see him wrestling, seeing as I’ve never experienced his matches live
before, only old matches. I think that it would be so good for Dean to cash in
at this point, it would be amazing to see this feud develop between the three. WWE
have a great opportunity for a gripping storyline here and I hope they take it.
