#4 Letting Sasha Banks compete in the MITB Ladder Match

Yes, given how Bayley possibly cost Sasha Banks her Money in the Bank shot, the situation between the two Superstars continues to worsen. I know that WWE is still very much on the path to a Sasha Banks vs. Bayley feud this way. However, letting Banks compete for the MITB briefcase would come with multiple advantages.

Firstly, The Legit Boss would've been a huge draw. I mean no disrespect to the other women who have qualified for the ladder match who are all great performers in the ring. Having said that, with the exception of possibly Asuka, no other woman in the match is as big of a draw as Banks.

Secondly, it would allow Banks to turn face organically which is very important considering the fact that both Bayley and she are still very much heels. Plus, it more or less signals that the briefcase is likely to be won by a RAW Superstar because while Becky Lynch still has a dearth of challengers, Bayley seems primed to be sparring with Banks if and when she's done with Tamina. Again, predictability is something WWE needs to avoid.
