WWE fans are certainly looking forward to the two ladder matches at Sunday's Money in the Bank pay-per-view. The event itself will be the first WWE pay-per-view to feature a huge live crowd since WrestleMania 37.
In the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, eight competitors will fight each other in a bid to secure the MITB briefcase. Here are the ladder contest participants from Monday Night RAW:
- Asuka
- Naomi
- Alexa Bliss
- Nikki A.S.H.
Meanwhile, the remaining four competitors from Friday Night SmackDown are as follows:
A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE
- Liv Morgan
- Zelina Vega
- Natalya
- Tamina
The winner will get a guaranteed title shot whenever they choose to cash in the Money in the Bank contract. More often than not, MITB contract winners become top champions in WWE.

With that in mind, let's take a look at five potential finishes to the 2021 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
#5 Liv Morgan wins the Money in the Bank ladder match
In WWE's current landscape, Liv Morgan is easily one of the biggest fan-favorites. Her path to Money in the Bank has not been an easy one, as she was put through many challenges before being added to the ladder contest.
SmackDown was only the first show to mark WWE's return to live touring, and fans are hoping to witness a few satisfying developments in the near future. Morgan's potential Money in the Bank victory would be an efficient way to end the match on a feel-good note.
Moreover, her buildup to the Women's MITB ladder contest has been the strongest, compared to the seven other superstars who will fight her at Sunday's pay-per-view.
Nikki A.S.H. could rival Morgan's status as the top babyface in this scenario, but WWE has done a slightly better job of building up the emotional stakes for the SmackDown star.
So if the company were to book a babyface as the Women's Money in the Bank contract winner this year, it would have to be Liv Morgan.
#4 Zelina Vega is the perfect heel to win the Money in the Bank contract
While all kinds of superstars are eligible to win the Money in the Bank ladder match, a certain type of talent is best suited to hold the briefcase.
Opportunistic characters live up to their traits by cashing in the MITB contract at the perfect time, and most of them are villains by default. Zelina Vega's onscreen persona is tailor-made for this job. Vega isn't the most intimidating star on the roster, but winning the Money in the Bank briefcase gives her a huge advantage over others.
Moreover, the SmackDown talent's opportunistic and villainous traits would make her a scheming MITB contract owner, which is often the most intriguing type of character for this scenario.
Out of all competitors in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, Zelina Vega is the most obvious choice to win when it comes to heels.
It's unlikely she would dethrone Bianca Belair as the SmackDown Women's Champion in a straightforward one-on-one contest. That's why winning the MITB contract could vastly elevate her status in WWE.
#3 Alexa Bliss wins the Money in the Bank briefcase
Alexa Bliss is undoubtedly the most polarizing superstar in the 2021 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
Her supernatural gimmick has intrigued many spectators, while simultaneously resulting in criticism from a vocal section of the WWE Universe.
Given the unpredictability of Bliss' character, there are many creative ways to book her as the ladder contest winner. Zelina Vega and Liv Morgan are the relatively safer picks as this year's Money in the Bank contract holders. However, Bliss winning the match might be a more newsworthy direction, as it would lead to polarizing discussions on social media.
With the return of live crowds, all WWE wants is to grab more headlines, which is why Alexa Bliss has a good chance of securing the briefcase this Sunday.
There is also unfinished business between her and RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley. For those who don't remember, Ripley unceremoniously eliminated Bliss from this year's Royal Rumble contest. At the time, the latter had huge momentum behind her and seemed like one of the favorites to prevail in the 30-woman bout.
How would you react if Alexa Bliss won her second Money in the Bank ladder match and cashed in on the RAW Women's Champion soon?
#2 Sonya Deville replaces Liv Morgan to win the Money in the Bank contract
The road to Money in the Bank has seen Liv Morgan crossing paths with onscreen official Sonya Deville on several occasions. For some reason, Deville didn't add Morgan to the MITB ladder match initially, even though the latter clearly deserved to be included in it.
Fans and critics speculated that both of them could be teasing a feud somewhere down the line. According to reports, the people in charge are hoping that Sonya Deville returns to the ring soon. Interestingly, she was also part of the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match plans at one point.
So there is a chance she could play a key role during Sunday's pay-per-view. By winning the multi-woman contest after inserting herself in it, she would become a clear heel. Such a possibility may require Sonya Deville to remove a participant from the match first, most likely Liv Morgan. This will intensify the pre-existing feud between both women.
Deville previously fought during last year's SummerSlam pay-per-view. Before that point, she was on the best heel run of her career.
While the former MMA fighter portrays an intriguing onscreen official, many fans want her to bring back that villainous persona in 2021.
#1 Becky Lynch replaces an "injured" competitor to win the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match
Liv Morgan and Nikki A.S.H. are the biggest babyfaces in the 2021 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. But that could all change if Becky Lynch returns this Sunday.
Reports indicate that Lynch is scheduled to be at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, although there is no confirmation regarding her potential on-screen appearance.
As per the storyline, let's assume that a MITB participant gets ambushed backstage. If they are unable to compete in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, Becky Lynch could capitalize on the opportunity and make her long-awaited return. As a result, she may even go on to win the entire contest.
Keep in mind that Lynch never lost her RAW Women's Championship to anyone before taking her maternity leave last year. Instead, she willingly handed the title to Asuka, who had secured the MITB briefcase in 2020.
Winning the Money in the Bank contract would allow Becky Lynch to re-enter the top title picture.
One might argue that she doesn't need the contract to challenge for the RAW Women's Championship again. However, inserting the MITB briefcase in her path to the top of WWE's pecking order would increase the stakes significantly.
