Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Bryan Heaton: The lunatic in me thinks James Ellsworth makes his grand return to WWE and wins his second Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match because of course he would. But the most logical winner of the match would be for Natalya to take the case and eventually cash in on BFF Ronda Rousey.

Christopher Jeter: Let’s do this by process of elimination. Charlotte Flair will probably get a title shot at SummerSlam in a couple of months, so she doesn’t need the win. Alexa Bliss would be a good choice, but she needs to stay out of the title picture for a little while. That goes double for Lana. Naomi is probably in the match to fill the “Kofi Kingston/Shelton Benjamin highspot” role. That leaves Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Ember Moon and Natalya as the favorites. As much as I would like the other three to win, Ronda Rousey’s expected title win probably means that her pal Natalya will become Mrs. Money in the Bank to set up a match between the two down the line.
Joshua Raibick: This match really feels like a flip of the coin between Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. While Charlotte Flair is the biggest name in the match, and an argument can be made for Ember Moon, it is evident that Sasha and Becky both need this more than the other superstars. I believe that WWE has bigger plans in the future for Sasha Banks, and because of that I have to pick The Boss.
Joe Soriano: The safe pick is Alexa Bliss. Duh. It just is. And Natalya’s a solid pick, too, assuming she does compete in the match, as her “injury” may have just been a way to throw people off the “Natalya cashes in on Rousey” trail.
But me? I’m an idealist. I’m an idiot. So I’m picking Becky Lynch for the simple fact that I want it to happen.
