WWE SmackDown 5 Predictions: Xavier Woods Is Going To MITB

1. Billie Kay Defeats Lana

For as much fun as it would be to see Lana and Rusev competing in their respective ladder matches on June 17, I find it hard to believe that Lana will be involved in an eight-woman ladder match. Again, it would be entertaining seeing her with the briefcase, but it might be too risky for her to be involved in a ladder match. Furthermore, the briefcase usually works best in the hands of an up-and-comer or someone on the cusp of being a major player. As of right now, that isn’t Lana.

Peyton Royce failed to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match after being defeated by Charlotte Flair, and while Billie Kay still has room for improvement on the ring, she would make more sense as a participant in the ladder match than Lana. The IIconic Duo have been fantastic since being called up to SmackDown Live, annoying crowds with their impressions of Charlotte and their self-aggrandizing statements.

A Money in the Bank contract in the hands of either one of the IIconics would spell disaster for the rest of the SmackDown Women’s Division (in a kayfabe sense) and absolute hilarity for the audience. Kay and Royce are money, and they’ve comprised one of WWE’s most entertaining acts since finding their footing in NXT. I’d love to see Kay’s shenanigans at Money in the Bank.
