5 Reasons why Drew McIntyre is the favorite to win the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match 

The Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match will take place at eponymous pay-per-view in two weeks. The winner of this match earns the opportunity to challenge for a world title anywhere and anytime they choose. The participants for this year's match were announced last week.

Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Ricochet will represent RAW, while SmackDown's IC Champion Finn Bálor, Randy Orton, Andrade and Ali be the competitors from the blue brand.

Any of these eight WWE Superstars could win this year's Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match. But here are five reasons why Vince McMahon will let Drew McIntyre win the Money in the Bank contract...

#1 Vince McMahon's "Chosen One"

Vince McMahon called Drew McIntyre his "Chosen One".

When Drew McIntyre first debuted in WWE in 2009, Vince McMahon named him "The Chosen One". Well, that turned out to be false in the short term, as WWE soon released him from the company. McIntyre made a name for himself in the independent scene and debuted on NXT in 2017. A year later he found himself on the main roster again.

Reportedly, Vince McMahon has been really high on him since his return to the company. The boss always wanted him to be a future World Champion even before releasing him. So this will definitely work to the advantage of McIntyre.

#2 The winner should look like a "Star"

The winner should look like a "Star".

There have been rumors that WWE wants this year's Money in the Bank winner to look like a star. This decision came after the company has failed to generate significant momentum for the winners of the past two MitB matches, implying that the previous two cash-ins did not prove to be stepping stones to the main event scene for the respective winners.

This year Vince McMahon has a chance to change that by booking Drew McIntyre to win the Money in the Bank contract. Already, many people consider him as the future of the company. Giving him such a huge win would boost his WWE career and the creative team will embrace the task of making him into a bona fide star on the main roster.

Strong push within the creative team to really have this years men’s Money In The Bank winner coming out of the whole process looking like a STAR. The feeling backstage is that they have completely blown the winners & cash ins the last 2 years.

#3 No other better option

Money in the Bank participants.

Now, looking at the participants of this year's Money in the Bank Ladder match, one would assume any one of them could walk out with the briefcase. But we have to properly analyze each competitor's chances of winning. Randy Orton has the least chance of winning the contract since he has already won it once and remains the biggest name on the roster still wrestling full-time.

Other superstars who do not need to win include Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin; Finn Balor is currently the Intercontinental Champion, so it is likely there are other plans for him. That leaves Richochet, Ali and Andrade, all of whom WWE does not seem very interested in pushing at the moment. Drew McIntyre is thus the ideal option to hold the Men's Money in the Bank contract.

#4 A match against Brock Lesnar

Drew McIntyre could face Brock Lesnar.

We all know Brock Lesnar lost his Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35 against Seth Rollins and will probably face off with The Architect sometime in the following months. If Drew McIntyre wins the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match and cashes his contract on Seth Rollins to become the new Universal Champion, he will automatically be added into the mix with a bang.

Then we could expect a match between The Scottish Psychopath and The Beast for the Universal Title. This match itself would bring tons of money to Vince McMahon. With Lesnar's current run possibly nearing its end, the onus is on WWE to use his star power to push the future top stars of the company.

#5 The next big heel in the company

Drew McIntyre could become the next big heel.

Let's look back at the history of the past Money in the Bank Ladder match winners. Most of the superstars were heels or they turned heel after cashing in their contracts. Drew McIntyre is currently playing a heel in WWE. During the build of his feud with Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 35, McIntyre was portrayed as a huge dominant heel, picking up convincing wins over Dean Ambrose, and also beating Seth Rollins in the build-up to the Showcase of the Immortals.

But after losing that match, McIntyre has once again lost his momentum. He once again teamed up with Corbin and Lashley to lose to The Shield recently. The Scottish Psychopath was teased as part of the SmackDown roster before the Superstar Shake-up, but he stayed put on RAW without much direction. Now the best way to bring McIntyre back into the dominant heel character is by having him win this year's Men's Money in the Bank contract.
