Money In The Bank, 1 of WWE's premiere shows and one of the most popular shows. So much can happen and that's not including the regular matches, I'm referring to the actual men's MITB Ladder Match, that if won, you receive a briefcase that holds a contract for a for the main title of the WWE, that can be cashed in, in so many ways that keep us excited and full of anticipation. The MITB cash in is one of the best parts of the WWE and has brought many exciting moments for the brand. In this blog I will discuss my list of superstars that have potential to win the 2018 MITB match and scenarios that would be fun to see played out. Ten superstars made this list and this is my opinion on who could win and what can come of it...
#10 John Cena
The WWE has mentioned and even teased Cena's record breaking title win, breaking Flair's record. Being part time, having the contract from MITB would give Cena a open, non story line, reason to win the title. Imagine Cena being gone for a few months only to randomly show up and cash in the contract on Brock at Survivor Series, SummerSlam, or the Rumble. The fan reaction would be fantastic. I would pop, especially if he was out of site out of mind for months leading up to the cash in.
#9 Bobby Roode
Vince loves when fans pop for stars. He loves the reactions. It's no secret that Roodes "Glorious" theme is what gets fans going. So if Roode can pull off the MITB win, a "Glorious" cash in, he would get a huge pop from the fans. As his theme hits in a main even match, the fans would go nuts for that song especially knowing that Roode is cashing in for that title!
#8 Roman Reigns
The story line of Roman losing to Brock could help with a MITB win. That way when cashed in after Brock beats someone else, Roman could finally get that Universal Championship that Vince seems to desperately want him. I'd be ok with Roman winning the MITB if they write his cash in right. If it is truly a pop Vince wants for when Roman wins the belt, this contract could potentially do that. Its a cheap win for WWE's top guy in my opinion, but could work for the right story line.
#7 Daniel Bryan
I think DB's story is great. Coming back from a "career ending injury" like he did is amazing. Why not put the contract in Bryan's hands? He has huge potential story wise and a cash in at, maybe, a Mania main event would blow the roof off the house! Want to hear the biggest pop ever? This would do it.
#6 Samoa Joe
Joe is fantastic on the mic and in the ring. If he walks out MITB winner, the potential to tease a cash in and use it to intimidate opponents is a perfect fit for Joe. Joe would be scary good with that contract in hand, but at the same time I could see Joe being a same night cash in. Heel or not, people love Joe, and he would get a huge tweener pop for sure!
#5 Finn Balor
The WWE has mentioned it, Finn has mentioned it... I'm referring to the known fact that Finn never got a rematch after handing over the Universal Championship due to injury. What better story line than to have Finn earn it himself? No matter what Vince really thinks of Finn, he is big time over and him carrying around that briefcase for months would earn a huge, positive, fun reaction with a cash in. Especially if the Demon King made a appearance to do so!
#4 Braun Stroman
All though I don't think Braun needs the contract or even a belt to be top face, it would be fun to watch Braun dominate the MITB match only to cash in on Brock later that night. We are talking Daniel Bryan type pop. Braun's cash in would be huge! Braun is 1 of a few who I can see cashing in the same night all thought him carrying around the briefcase would be fun to watch!
#3 Rusev
To me, Rusev is overdue for a push. Him as a champion is something a lot of fans would love. Him standing over whoever the champ is, holding the belt while chanting "Rusev Day" is something that would make the fans go nuts! Plus a nice championship reign would be interesting and fun and make Rusev Day known world wide!
#2 The Miz
Now this is tied with what I want to happen with my #1 guy. The Miz is one of the best heels and promo guys on the roster. He truly can make any crowd love or hate him, and now on Smackdown he has potential to move into the main event scene. The scenario playing out in my mind one where Daniel Bryan and the Miz have a long feud over the summer only to lead to Bryan rolling to the top and into the title picture. Say Bryan wins the WWE Title at the Rumble, and in the middle of his insane pop he would get, having Miz ruin it all with a cash in to beat Bryan that same night wold be huge! This could all build to a huge title match at WrestleMania between Bryan and the Miz for the title! This could be AWESOMEEEEE!
#1 Seth Rollins
The only reason Seth beats out my boy, The Miz, on this list is because of the potential story line that could play out. Lets say Seth wins the MITB contract, and the same night as Brock vs Roman is scheduled for the Universal Championship, as Roman nears his big win over Brock, Seth cashes in and wins, stealing Romans thunder. When this happens this would cause Roman to finally break and give us that much needed heel turn. This cash in can be huge, and causing Reigns to snap and go heel would be even bigger. The possibilities are endless involving a feud with Seth and Roman. This scenario could be fun to watch!
In the end, any of these Superstars can win the MITB contract, as well as notables like AJ, Shin, Lashley, Ambrose, and Elias. We all love a well timed cash in, win or lose, right Baron? The Miz and Seth are by far my 2 favorites to win at MITB, pending story lines. Endless possibilities and lots of anticipation is what we have to look forward to with MITB and I'm sure, in some way, The WWE will deliver.
Thanks for reading,
Joey
