In the latest WWE NEWS, No one expected Money in the Bank 2019 to end with a huge cliffhanger, as Brock Lesnar became the newest superstar to win the Money in the Bank match. Many soon realised this means WWE has openly given Lesnar a definite chance to recapture the World Title somewhere down the line.

It does not take away from the fact that Lesnar just being in this match was something not many were ready to process, as the former Universal Champion had been adamant on making a return to UFC for a long time now. Therefore, after his loss to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, many thought that was the last we would see of Lesnar in wrestling.

However, Lesnar threw a curveball no one saw coming, as he retired from MMA, and returned to the squared circle. Most would be lying if they said, Lesnar deserved the Money in the Bank contract, as no one could really see the angle WWE was going for with Lesnar as Mr Money in the Bank.

But WWE's willingness to turn Lesnar into a much more entertaining version of himself that was prominent throughout his 2003 run with the company, gave fans a side of Brock you didn't think was still there, and that was DJ Lesnar. Lesnar turning the Money in the Bank briefcase into a boom box of all things, and dancing his way to the ring has not been something fans asked for, but in all honesty, it is thoroughly enjoyable.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Now with Lesnar realising he has a whole year to cash in his contract, it seems like it will be a long before we see Lesnar back in a WWE ring. Or could we expect him to make a comeback sooner rather than later?

#3 Another Mountain For Seth Rollins To Scale

At WWE's Super ShowDown event, Seth Rollins will take on Baron Corbin with his Universal Title up for grabs. This is a match that many didn't ask for, as we have already seen Rollins and Baron do battle numerous times on Raw, so why would it be special on a pay-per-view?

Even shows like Crown Jewel, Greatest Royal Rumble, and Super ShowDown are infamously called 'glorified house shows' by the WWE Universe, so, it seems WWE is treating them as such. Moreover, many believe these matches won't affect the main narratives in the company.

But what if WWE swerves the entire wrestling fanbase by having Lesnar cash in his contract at Super ShowDown? Now, while many would brush this idea aside, as the company would not waste a huge moment like this on a show like Super ShowDown, you'd be surprised what can happen in WWE these days.

The reasoning for this happening is WWE wanting to do something different from the norm, as having a Money in the Bank cash in on this show would empathise that these 'glorified house shows' should be taken more seriously by the fans. If WWE's intention is to make Lesnar the champion in the quickest time possible, then would be the event to do so.

#2 Kofi Gets A Reality Check

Champion today, midcarder tomorrow.

Kofi Kingston's WWE Title reign has been one of the best-managed title reigns WWE has given fans in a long time, as Kofi has defeated all on comers since WrestleMania. From Kevin Owens to Sami Zayn, Kofi has been given a lot of credibility by WWE, but the question that is on everyone's mind is what the endgame is.

What happens when WWE moves past Kofi as their top guy? To be more specific, what happens when Smackdown Live moves to FOX? FOX has made it quite clear that their outline for Smackdown Live should be centred around more of a 'real fight feel', as everything from the storylines to the presentation of the superstars should be given a hint of realism.

So. where does that leave Kofi? Well, it could see him being destroyed by Brock Lesnar for his WWE Title. As it would be a surprise to the WWE Universe if Lesnar was given the Money in the Bank contract to stick around until Smackdown Live debuted on FOX, but from a business perspective, it makes sense with what WWE is going for.

#1 Anytime Anywhere

The one thing about the Money in the Bank contract WWE has glossed over is the fact that the holder can have a World Title match anytime in any place. This sense of unpredictability has not been fully explored by the company, as we have only seen standard cash-ins over the last few years.

Could things change with Brock Lesnar as the holder? Well, maybe not, but one can't stop themselves from dreaming about the most out of the box ideas that could see the WWE Universe left shocked. Imagine a Money in the Bank cash in being in the same light as the 24/7 Title's defences, as that could be a great way for WWE to prove themselves as capable bookers that can still keep their fans on their feet and on the edge of their seats.

From Lesnar cashing in at a house show to Rollins being ambushed in the locker room and pinned, there are a million ways Lesnar could cash in his contract. Therefore, WWE should take the creative route when planning Lesnar's cash in, as this could be a good time to show audiences that the creative team can still produce a great angle.
