Who will climb the corporate ladder successfully?
Who will climb the corporate ladder successfully?

We are just a couple of days away from what is sure to be the most unique edition of WWE Money in the Bank as it will air this Sunday on May 10, 2020. As announced, the MITB matches would take place at the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut where the WWE Superstars will have to "climb the corporate ladder" to win the match and the Money in the Bank contract.

Apart from the Men's and Women's MITB matches, both the WWE and Universal Championship will be defended on the show as well. These matches would take place at the WWE Performance Center - the home for WWE shows during the current global pandemic. The SmackDown Women's Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team title will also be on the line as WWE looks set to deliver its first post-WrestleMania PPV.

Without further delay, let's take a look at the five bold predictions for WWE Money in the Bank. Let us know in the comments section about who are you rooting for to win the contract this year.


#5 Sasha Banks turns on Bayley

WWE is doing a great job with the long-term storyline between Sasha Banks and Bayley. Throughout the last few months, the Legit Boss has been teasing a turn on her "best-friend" Bayley, who has been doing an exceptional job as a heel.

The SmackDown Women's Champion, Bayley will be defending her title against Tamina at Money in the Bank this Sunday. Surprisingly, Sasha Banks did not qualify for the Women's MITB match and thus will accompany her to the ring. On the go-home episode of SmackDown, the mysterious hacker revealed that a team will be splitting up soon. There is a chance that he might be talking about Sasha and Bayley.

The first bold prediction for Money in the Bank is that the Legit Boss will turn on Bayley after her match, becoming a face in the process. There is great potential in a Sasha vs Bayley feud throughout the summer, something fans would love to see.

#4 Vince McMahon gets involved in the Money in the Bank match

Remember this?
Remember this?

As mentioned previously, the Money in the Bank matches this year will be contested uniquely at the WWE Headquarters. Six male and six female WWE Superstars will start the match on the ground floor of the Titan Towers and fight there way throughout the building to reach the roof to grab the briefcase suspended on top of it.

As per the reports, WWE plans to air the match throughout the PPV, meaning we'll be getting many interesting segments. With it taking place at the WWE Headquarters, there are chances of other WWE figures getting involved in the match as well to enhance the drama all around. And who better to do the job then the Chairman himself, Vince McMahon. There are a lot of ways Mr. McMahon can get involved in the match and cost or help someone in the match.

Someone like King Corbin could have a hilarious moment with the Boss. Another great candidate could be AJ Styles, who could end up in Mr. McMahon's office and start an argument with him. Remember the time Styles punched the Boss during a backstage segment on SmackDown?

#3 Seth Rollins turns on Murphy after losing to Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre got his much-deserved WrestleMania moment at this year's Show of Shows when he defeated the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar to become the new WWE Champion. At Money in the Bank, the Scottish Psychopath is set to defend his title against Seth Rollins, in what would be a solid battle.

Rollins, a former two-time Universal Champion, has had some exceptional character development with his entire Monday Night Messiah gimmick. Throughout the buildup, we saw him cut some amazing promos as to how he has to carry the burden of becoming the WWE Champion to save the show and the company.

With the return of Murphy, the Monday Night Messiah would surely be expecting some help from his "disciple" to win the WWE title. But what will happen when he'll be unable to get his hands on the championship? In my next bold prediction, Rollins will turn on Murphy after losing his match to Drew McIntyre. This would lead to a face turn for Murphy who can then feud with Rollins while McIntyre can move on to his next challenger with some solid momentum.

#2 King Corbin gets thrown off the top of the Titan Towers

In the last few weeks, there have been reports about WWE having a major spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match - of someone being thrown off the top of the building. While there is no news as to who will be pulling off a Shane McMahon at MITB, there is a certain perfect candidate for the job.

The participants in the Men's Money in the Bank match include Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, King Corbin, Aleister Black, and Otis. A spot like falling off the top of a building could lead to a massive cheer from the fans (at their homes, of course) if the person being thrown is a hated character. And who is more hated amongst these bunch of WWE Superstars than the King of the Ring 2019, Baron Corbin?

If you remember, last month he threw Elias from a high platform in the Performance Center during an episode of SmackDown. Maybe we can see Elias returning for some payback and throw him off the Titan Towers! WWE can also use this as an ending segment of the match and the show with the winner throwing Corbin off the building before grabbing the briefcase to win the match!

#1 Braun Strowman retains against Bray Wyatt, gets attacked by The Fiend post-match

Another massive match set to take place at Money in the Bank 2020 is the clash between the former master of the Wyatt Family and his follower. Universal Champion, Braun Strowman will be defending his title against Bray Wyatt, in what is one of the most unpredictable matches of the night.

One of the biggest things to keep in mind here is that Strowman will be not be facing The Fiend, but Bray Wyatt. I've previously discussed in detail the signs that Bray Wyatt won't be defeating Strowman for the title at Money in the Bank. But at the same time, Wyatt losing might not be the end of the feud for the two. There's a lot left for WWE to explore in this rivalry and it'll ideally stretch longer rather than being wrapped up so quickly.

For the last bold prediction of this article, Braun Strowman will be retaining his title, only to get attacked by The Fiend after his match. This would continue the feud between the two with the Monster Among Men going up against The Fiend in a future match.
