Money in the Bank takes over Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas on Sunday night and boasts the traditional Money in the Bank contract ladder matches.
One man and woman will be handed a golden opportunity that could lead to a World Championship shot at some point in the next year. The show will also see Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against Edge whilst Kofi Kingston looks to win his second WWE Championship when he takes on Bobby Lashley.
Charlotte Flair looks to become a 14-time Women's Champion when she challenges Rhea Ripley for the RAW Women's Championship whilst The Usos look to dethrone The Mysterios for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

The RAW Tag Team Championships will also be on the line at Money in the Bank when Omos and AJ Styles defend against The Viking Raiders. This is the first pay-per-view outside of Florida in more than a year and the first in front of a full capacity crowd since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
WWE is seemingly preparing for several shocks and surprises this weekend.
#6. Roman Reigns retains his Universal Championship at Money in the Bank with the help of Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns has held the Universal Championship since Payback last year and has beaten off all challengers, but this weekend could be his toughest task to date. Edge is a former 11-time WWE Champion and is stepping into his first singles world championship match in more than a decade at Money in the Bank.
Edge has made it clear in recent weeks that he remembers his altercation with Rollins back in 2014 and he will get revenge. Rollins is in the Money in the Bank ladder match which he could lose and with rumors that Rollins could face off against Edge at SummerSlam, The Messiah could then interfere and help Roman Reigns to retain his Championship.
Rollins also wants the Universal Championship so this would be a short-lived alliance, but it would be enough to build towards Rollins' SummerSlam match.
#5. There is a last-minute substitution in this year's Money in the Bank match
Whether it be the men's or the women's match, Brock Lesnar set the tone back in 2019 when Sami Zayn was taken out of the ladder match and The Beast Incarnate was able to replace him.
This year there are several stars who could step into the match whether it's Becky Lynch who takes out a female wrestler in order to step into the Women's Money in the Bank match or Baron Corbin so that he can take Shinsuke Nakamura's slot and win the contract for a second time.
#4. Sasha Banks returns and takes out Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank
Sasha Banks hasn't been seen on WWE TV since the week after WrestleMania in April, but The Boss could make her return at Money in the Bank.
Whilst all the talk leading up to the show has been about Becky Lynch, it would be a legitimate surprise if it was Sasha Banks who invaded the RAW Women's Championship match instead.
With all the recent call-ups from NXT, it's obvious that superstars are now about to move around, so nothing is stopping her from heading back over to RAW. The WWE Draft isn't set to take place for several months, but some stars have been able to move ahead of this.
Banks lost the Smackdown Women's Championship to Bianca Belair back at WrestleMania and now doesn't have a storyline moving forward following the recent call-ups.
It would make sense if The Boss was to head over to RAW and attack The Queen, in order to insert herself in the current RAW Women's Championship picture at Money in the Bank.
#3. Bobby Lashley retains his WWE Championship at Money in the Bank
Bobby Lashley defends his WWE Championship against Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank on Sunday night, but this should be a test that Lashley can easily pass.
The Almighty is rumored to be facing off against the returning Goldberg at SummerSlam next month, which means that the WWE Champion will have to be able to get past Kingston this weekend.
Lashley sent home his ladies this week on RAW and made it clear that he now wants to focus on being a fighter and nothing else.
This could be the focus that Lashley needs to see him past Kingston and also what brings Lashley and MVP closer together, since the two men look to be on different pages at present.
Kofi Kingston shouldn't be taken lightly since he is a former WWE Champion in his own right, but if Lashley is looking past Kingston to someone like Brock Lesnar then he needs to make a statement on Sunday night at Money in the Bank.
#2. Zelina Vega becomes Miss Money in the Bank with the help of Austin Theory
Zelina Vega returned to WWE a few weeks ago and was immediately inserted into the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
Whilst Vega is far from a favorite, she is smart, and having spent much of her time in WWE as a manager, she will have some kind of plan up her sleeve. Much like when Carmella won the contract a few years ago, Vega could call in some help.
Vega helped Theory with his promotion to the main roster a few years ago and could call in a favor since Theory has been seen backstage in recent weeks.
With the help of Austin Theory, Vega could climb the ladder and retrieve the contract, which would then give her a year to cash in on a Women's Champion.
Whilst many members of the WWE Universe believe that Liv Morgan should win the match, the contract works much better in the hands of a heel and Vega would be an entertaining Miss Money in the Bank.
#1. Big E wins the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match
Big E has been looking for a way into the main event Championship picture since The New Day was split last year and Money in the Bank could be his chance.
The former Tag Team Champion is the heavy favorite heading into this match since the WWE Universe is praying that it's finally Big E's time.
The former Intercontinental Champion has been in WWE for over a decade and is stuck mid-card. The Money in the Bank contract may be the only way that Big E can ensure himself a future World Championship match and step up to the main event picture.
There are some big names in the match including Riddle, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens, but Big E could overcome the odds to become Mr. Money in the Bank for 2021.
After a tough year, the WWE Universe is ready for the positivity that Big E will bring as the Money in the Bank contract holder for the next year.
