WWE Money In The Bank 2019 early match card predictions

Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya vs. Dana Brooke vs. Naomi vs. Bayley vs. Mandy Rose vs. Carmella vs. Ember Moon [Women’s MITB Ladder Match]🔴🔵
In terms of Raw’s MITB participants, none of the superstars seem to have a good chance of winning MITB. Raw desperately needs Sasha Banks. Banks is the riskiest prediction to make due to her sudden departure and rumored heated relationship with the WWE at the moment. However, if she were to join the match by some miraculous means, she would be the most deserving of the MITB Briefcase and would also have the greatest chance of becoming Ms. MITB out of these 4 suggested superstars on Raw.
Based on the two past Women’s MITB Winners of Carmella and Alexa Bliss, it seems apparent that heels tend to win these MITB Ladder matches. Thus, it is difficult to believe that a babyface like Sasha Banks might win. However, the briefcase would be a grand opportunity to turn one of these babyfaces heel, similar to how CM Punk cashed in on Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules 2009 and how Randy Orton cashed in on Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013. At this moment in her career, Sasha Banks would be the ideal candidate to turn heel with the MITB Briefcase since she has been babyface for far too long on the main roster and was one of the best heels back in NXT.
She desperately needs a change of pace and the ideal superstar to cash in on would be the most lovable superstar on the roster, Becky Two Belts, especially since Lynch called her out on Twitter. With Banks still on Raw, she would be cashing in on the Raw Women’s Championship, and a first time Banks-Lynch feud on the main roster is exactly what Raw needs since SmackDown definitely got the best of the women’s division from the SuperStar ShakeUp. Hopefully, a MITB return, win and cash-in by Banks would not only lead to a high-caliber and meaningful feud with Lynch but also a lengthy title reign, as opposed to her past four reigns in the company.
Maybe her change in hair color and absence from Raw is a way to repackage her character and turn heel, rather than leave the company. Maybe this is a way to tease the wrestling marks into thinking that she is going to AEW when she is actually staying in WWE all along. However, if she does leave the company, she would be right in doing so, for a top-notch superstar and workhorse like Sasha Banks, who very rarely gets complacent and gives it her all every night for the WWE Universe, should have already obtained a significant victory at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania, and should have had lengthier title reigns throughout her main roster career.
It’s disrespectful to her incredible work ethic and “boss” character; her sudden departure may have been viewed as disrespectful in the eyes of the common viewer, but it’s quite difficult to show respect to a company that does not reciprocate said respect. It is also discouraging to her fans who are inspired by her, look up to her, and can relate to her, as well as people just like her who adore the WWE to the point that they want to potentially become WWE Superstars because of her. As a business, if WWE wants to expand its audience and skyrocket its ratings, Sasha Banks is a superstar that should not be wasted because she is truly a radiant gem that sparkles at every corner. She makes almost every superstar on the roster shine bright and she is worth banking on for Ms. MITB.
