WWE MITB 2022 Predictions: Seth Rollins and Liv Morgan Will Win
By Mark Justice
WWE MITB 2022 is in three weeks, and the WWE even moved this “premium live event” into a smaller Las Vegas Venue to assure that their tickets sell out. Furthermore, the WWE is still undecided on their top plans for this “premium live event” even though WWE MITB 2022 is supposed to be one of the biggest events on the WWE calendar. The following will provide match card predictions for the potential match card based on the current feuds in WWE. It’s now time to preview and predict one of the most jaw-dropping PPVs on WWE’s calendar: WWE MITB 2022.
WWE MITB 2022 is scheduled to take place on July 2, 2022, live on WWE Network via Peacock. Here are the full, updated match card predictions.
Liv Morgan vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka vs. Zelina Vega vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Lacey Evans vs. Shotzi [Women’s MITB Ladder Match]
Liv Morgan will win the MITB Ladder Match because she is the ideal star to rebuild on her road to stardom. She has the charisma and never-say-die attitude of a natural babyface who connects quite well with the WWE Universe. Morgan should have won MITB last year after her emotional and inspirational speech, which conveyed how her hard work, not luck, will pay off in the end.
The fans have been clamoring for Morgan to win something huge. It is long overdue for Morgan to become champion and add something fresh to the depleted women’s division that is exceedingly reliant on the horsewomen. Since she lacks the momentum to earn another singles title shot, the MITB Briefcase would provide her with that opportunity.
Prediction: Liv Morgan
Usos (c) vs. Street Profits [Undisputed Tag Team Championships]
Usos will retain the Undisputed Tag Team Championships against Street Profits because The Bloodline will only lose their titles on a big 4 PPV, like SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, or WrestleMania. Street Profits earned their contendership by winning nonsensical championship contenders match on WWE Raw this week via count-out. These championship contender matches need to stop because they destroy the momentum of the champions as well as the anticipation of a future title match on PPV.
Prediction: Usos
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Natalya [SmackDown Women’s Championships]
Ronda Rousey will retain the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Natalya because Rousey is rumored to defend her title against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam and will go all the way to WrestleMania to defend her title against Becky Lynch. Since the original plan was for Rousey to defend her title against Sasha Banks, it is evident that Natalya is merely a Plan B contender who will inevitably lose to Rousey here. Rousey and Natalya have a history due to their teacher-pupil relationship during Rousey’s first run in 2018-2019, so this should be interesting
Prediction: Ronda Rousey
Austin Theory (c) vs. Bobby Lashley [U.S. Championship]
Austin Theory will retain the U.S. Championship against Bobby Lashley because he is rumored to defend his title against John Cena at SummerSlam. In order to protect Lashley in defeat, this match will end in either DQ or count out. It can be argued that Lashley wins the U.S. Title as a transitional champion and drops it to Omos at SummerSlam whilst Theory battles Cena without the title on the line. However, it is doubtful that Theory will lose the title this quickly after winning it, especially when Lashley does not need this title and should be in the world title scene.
Prediction: Austin Theory
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Carmella [Raw Women’s Championship]
Bianca Belair will retain the Raw Women’s Championship against Carmella because Belair is rumored to defend her title against Becky Lynch at SummerSlam. It was questionable to book a title match against Ripley so early in Belair’s reign because neither woman should have lost. Ripley recently turned heel and currently getting her feet wet in this nascent faction called Judgment Day. To solidify this heel run, she really should dethrone Belair. However, Belair’s reign is far from over, and Carmella is just a Plan B contender on the verge of losing here.
Prediction: Bianca Belair
Seth Rollins vs. Omos vs. Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus vs. Sami Zayn [Men’s MITB Ladder Match]
Seth Rollins will win the MITB Ladder Match because he would be a solid Plan B for Cody Rhodes if Rhodes cannot make it back in time from his injury. He can use MITB to spite Cody Rhodes, who is sitting at home trying to rehab from his injury, and cash in on Roman Reigns to win the world title.
The one distraction Rollins should be weary of is Riddle, whom he taunted and ridiculed on Raw last week for being a big loser ever since Randy Orton got injured. Riddle could always cost Rollins from winning this Ladder Match as payback, which would lead to someone else picking up the win.
Nonetheless, it could also just be a subtle booking methodology to tease a Rollins vs. Riddle match at SummerSlam. Rollins is still the betting favorite to win this match, and it is quite difficult to see it going any other way after the story he has built with Cody.
Prediction: Seth Rollins
