WWE Money in the Bank 2020: 6 possible participants in Men’s MITB
By Mark Justice
WWE Money In The Bank 2020 will take place on May 10 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT live on the WWE Network with the kickoff show beginning at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. The following will predict all six contestants for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Who will qualify for the Men’s MITB Ladder Match? As of this writing, there have been four MITB qualification matches already announced: (1) Daniel Bryan vs. Cesaro, (2) Aleister Black vs. Austin Theory, (3) Rey Mysterio vs. Buddy Murphy, and (4) Apollo Crews vs. MVP.
Once everyone qualifies, there will be six total contestants for the Men’s MITB Ladder Match this year. Since three slots from Raw will be filled from the announced qualification matches, this leaves two qualifiers from SmackDown as mystery contestants for the Men’s MITB Ladder Match.
It’s a shame that certain Raw superstars, such as Kevin Owens, Andrade, AJ Styles, Ricochet, Cedric Alexander, Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, and Bobby Lashley will be left out of this year’s MITB Ladder Match. Nonetheless, let’s fill in the gaps by predicting all six contestants for the 2020 Men’s MITB Ladder Match, starting with the Monday Night Raw contestants.
6.) Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews will defeat MVP on next week’s Raw to qualify for this year’s Men’s MITB Ladder Match. He had a strong showing against Aleister Black on last week’s Raw, which was highly praised by some key Raw superstars in the locker room, such as Kevin Owens and the IIconics.
He got traded back to Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania for a purpose: to redefine his career. His strong showing against Aleister Black reminded everyone how distinguished of a professional wrestler he truly is and it should be awarded with a MITB qualification victory.
As great as MVP is, he should not be in a MITB Ladder Match at this stage of his career (instead, he should be managing Bobby Lashley) and he will most likely be putting over the younger and hungrier Apollo Crews at next week’s Raw. As Titus O’ Neil once said, ‘Crews can’t lose.’
As for his chances at winning the MITB Briefcase, it is very slim, which is saddening since the WWE has never booked a black Mr. MITB. Nonetheless, there’s no doubt that Crews would contribute some memorable moments to the Men’s MITB Ladder Match this year.
