WWE: Predicting the two Money in the Bank briefcase winners
By Jason Reed
Women’s Money in the Bank winner: Bayley
Not only are the women getting a Money in the Bank match for a fourth time, but Becky Lynch is also going to wrestle in two major championship matches. While we won’t know the exact order of the matches until the show itself, it is pretty easy to predict what the creative team is going to do.
Lynch should open the show defending the Raw Women’s Championship against Lacey Evans. Lynch should win the match, but WWE would be wise to book Evans like a legitimate threat to wear down Lynch for her second title match.
Her second title match should come later in the show and should be one of the last three matches on the card. In that match, Lynch could either get booked over Charlotte Flair or not, because that won’t be the story.
The story will be Bayley, who will win the Women’s Money in the Bank earlier in the show and will cash in on the winner of the Lynch-Flair match. Ideally, the best booking would be to have Lynch go over Flair, but be absolutely exhausted from the bout, which is where Bayley comes in.
Bayley could then get the title run she deserves and be the premiere woman on the blue brand while Lynch exclusively sticks to the red brand. With WWE’s ratings taking a dive, keeping arguably the hottest act on the entire roster on Raw is imperative.
