2024 Money in the Bank (Predictions)

 

This years Money in the Bank takes place in Toronto, Canada.  Will Sami win in his hometown or will he be broken by Bron Breakker?  Who will win their MITB ladder matches?  Will the Bloodline dominate or be left bleeding?  These are just some if the questions I hope to answer in this post.  Lets get started.

2024 Men's Money in the Bank Match

     Who will win the Men's Money in the Bank?  The possibilities are endless.  I believe this match will have the most interruptions. There 3, possibly 4 men who could get their minds distracted from outside sources.  Chad and Jey could have interferences from the Wyatt Sicks6, where as Logan Paul could make LA Knight's grasp for glory end in failure.  CM Punk could always mess with Drew for a third time.  The Bloodline could also arrive to mess with Jey.  If that happens, I see Jey helping Cody RKO beat the Bloodline later during the PLE.  So, that leaves Carmelo and Andrade to battle it out for the win.  I would love to see Andrade pull off the win but something in my gut tells me it will be Drew for the win. Which could lead to Punk getting his hands on a title in the near future.

Winner: Drew McIntyre

2024 Women's Money in the Bank Match

     After watching Smackdown, all I can say this can be anyone's moment.  I personally want Chelsea or Tiffany to walk away with the win.  Naomi and Iyo have had their title runs but the other ladies have yet to have their championship moment.  Sure some have been nXt champions or Tag Champs, but it is not the same. Zoey may have to worry about Trish, since we know she is going to be there and they didn't exactly end their partnership in the best manner. Nia may try to help Tiffany and Piper may do the same for Chelsea, so that can factor into a lot of scenarios.  I think Damage CTRL may try to help Iyo but that will cost her the match, in my opinion.  At t he end of this battle, it may just end up being Tiffany Time.

Winner: Tiffany Stratton

The Bloodline Vs Team Cody RKO

     This is going to be a battle suitable for a War Games match.  The Bloodline has the deck stacked 4:3 with more members being whispered to arrive.  Could the new members make their presence known at Money in the Bank?  Does Cody have a trick up his sleeve?  Will Jey help his old tag team partner?  So many possibilities!!!  When the dust is clear, you will know a battle has been fought, but the War has just begun.

Winner: the Bloodline

World Heavyweight Championship Match

 Damian Priest Vs. Seth "Freakin" Rollins

     Seth wants his Championship back but Damian isn't ready to lose.  This will be a battle but a battle that Seth can win.  Damian used his MITB to get this title during the aftermath of Seth Vs Drew.  So there is an argument that Priest may not be able to defeat a healthy Rollins. I think he can, but I think jealousy might be his downfall.  Tensions have been high in the Judgement Day and that could hurt Priest in the long run.  Who knows, Balor may come  out to help and cost Priest the match instead.  You just never know.  Something tells me that Priest will come out with the win, no matter the cost.

Winner: Damian Priest

***********************************************************************************

Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn Vs. Bron Breakker

     This is the match that I want to see the most.  Hometown hero Sami may have bitten  a little more than he can choose by accepting a match with Bron.  Bron is on an impressive winning streak that I do not see Sami ending.  The only way I see Sami winning is by a DQ.  Since he is the champion, he could win simply by getting counted out and walking away the champ.  So Sami has options, but if he wants to fight...he's got it. Bron wants to "break" Sami and become champ and it could happen at Money in the Bank.

Winner and New Intercontinental Champ, Bron Breakker

My Picks for Money in the Bank

All photos in this post provided by the WWE.

Man, nXt Takeover put on a show.  I do not know how the 2018 MITB can top it, but I m sure the WWE superstars have some tricks up their sleeve.  Let's take a look at the matches and I will give you my thoughts on who should win.

WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura 

(Last Man Standing Match)

First up, the Phenomenal AJ Styles Vs the Artist Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship.  It is no secret that I am a huge AJ Styles fan, so it shouldn't be a surprise that I pick AJ for the win.  Sure, Shinsuke likes to play dirty and that is the main reason for choosing a Last Man Standing match, but AJ is capable of defeating Shinsuke at his own game.  I mean, he was the leader of the Club for Pete's sake.  You think they are going to stay behind the scenes and let their friend lose his title?  Not on their watch!  Even if Gallows and Anderson do not help Styles, Styles will come out on top because he is just too phenomenal for Shinsuke to handle.

Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Now this match could get really interesting.  On paper, one would think that Braun will win, but I have the feeling that the other 7 men will try to take him out the picture immediately.  

Another factor one has to think of is exactly who is representing the New Day in this match.  I mean, Who? Who? Who can it be? (see what I did there)  Will it be Big E?  Kofi?  Woods?  If it is Big E, you are in for a power show.  If it is Kofi, you have another high flyer.  If it is Woods, you have a complete strategist.  If the New Day wants to win the case, I would send in Woods.

The man I want to see victorious is the Destroyer, Samoa Joe.  I feel that the others will team up against him as soon as Braun is taken care of.  Look for the Miz to try to steal the win and capitalize on others effort and hard work.  

Honestly, this match can go either way, but I am sticking to my gut and picking Samoa Joe.

Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Another talent filled ladder match, this time for a shot at the women's title of their choice.  Last year Carmella won due to a technicality in the rules.  This year the competition is fierce.  I expect a good showing by all, but I think Becky Lynch has the fire that will drive her for the win.  Others may disagree, but I see several wrestlers who are having issues with each other like Lana and Naomi or Bliss and Sasha.  So, like I said earlier, Lynch for the win.

Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey

Nia may think she can just walk over Ronda like she has done to others, but she is in for a fight.  None of the women on Smackdown or Raw have ever faced a competitor like Ronda.  If Nia wrestles fair and keeps it legal, Ronda should walk away the new women's champion of Raw.  Something tells me that Nia has an Ace in her pocket.  Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the Authority has plans to help Nia keep her belt.  That is the only way I see Nia remaining champion.  My pick is for Ronda, but it wouldn't surprise me if Nia cheats to win.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella vs. Asuka

No disrespect to Carmella, but Asuka will win hand's down.  Unless, she gets help of course.  Last year, she won MITB thanks to James.  She won the title thanks to the Iconic Duo.  So, by my math, she has to cheat to win.  The only way she walks away champion, is if she gets help from some friends.

Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal

The big dog is looking for a fight and Jinder will give it to him.  When it comes to this match, the question you need to ask yourself, is Roman ready to turn heel?  The only way I see him walking away victorious is if he finds that inner enforcer like he was in the SHIELD days and just destroy everything and everyone.  I pick Jinder for the win.

Bobby Lashley vs. Sami Zayn

I am pulling for Sami in this match.  Why?  He is too talented of a wrestler to just be used as a jobber to make others look good.  I look for Sami to dig deep and kick Lashley's ass.  He is halfway there already because he has a room in Bobby's head.  If it was a match of power, Lashley would win hand's down.  But since this is a wrestling match, I look forward to Sami out-thinking Bobby.

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. Elias

These two men despise each other, that is no secret.  Elias may be on a roll and think he has what it takes to beat Rollins, but I fear he will fall short.  I pick Rollins for the win.

Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass

Big Cass is a bully and cannot keep up with the talent that is Daniel Bryan.  Daniel should win by submission, however I feel Cass will play dirty.  So, I think Daniel will win but by DQ.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match:

The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (Kickoff Match)

To be honest, I am pissed off that this is a kick-off match.  I mean, What the Hell?  It is for a championship.  Why couldn't the match with Sami and Bobby or Jinder and Reigns be the kick-off match?  Those matches aren't for a prize. I think it shows disrespect to the tag champs as well as the soon-to-be tag champs.  I am going to pull for the Club aka the Good Brothers to show the Tag Champs that they can take the titles at any time.  However, I feel there will be a bludgeoning which will end a DQ so the belts won't change hands.  I pick the Club for the win, but I think the championship will stay where it is.

Closing thoughts:  What the hell happened to the Raw Tag Title match?  It's not even mentioned on WWE.com as a match for MITB.  Was it deleted?  Just in case it does happen, I pick the Deleters of Worlds to take care of the B-team causing them to be WOKEN.
