Paul Heyman has confirmed the date and opponent for Brock Lesnar's MITB cash in. The advocate of the Beast Incarnate has confirmed that the cash-in will happen on Monday Night Raw next week and it will be for the WWE Universal Championship.
The statement from Heyman comes just a day after Stephanie McMahon announced that they will be taking action against Lesnar for his behaviour on Raw this week. She revealed that a meeting was to take place between the McMahon family and the Executive team to see what punishment they can give to Mr Money in the Bank.
Despite Heyman confirming that the cash-in will take place any time on Monday Night Raw next week, the WWE Universe is not convinced that it will indeed take place. However, if the cash-in does take place, there will be no shortage of surprises and shocks.
Here are 5 possible shocks that could happen when Brock Lesnar cashes-in the MITB contract:
#5 – Brock Lesnar wins clean and leaves with the Title
Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins faced each other at WrestleMania and the former Shield member won the title thanks to a low-blow that the referee did not see. While Rollins did not win clean, it would be difficult to see WWE give Brock a similar win.
The Beast Incarnate is built as the powerhouse of WWE and with the MITB contract advantage already in hand, it won't be the best idea to give Brock a win over Seth Rollins that is not done fair and square.
With Brock winning the title, a rematch will be immediately scheduled for WWE Super ShowDown that is set to take place in Jeddah next week. This cash-in might eventually be just a build up to their match at the PPV.
#4 – Vince McMahon stops Brock from cashing in
Vince McMahon might not be as good as he was in the past, but he still has a business mind that is unmatched in this industry. While he needs the cash-in news to boost the TV ratings and viewership, he knows that a match for the WWE Universal title on Monday Night Raw isn't best for business.
Just when Brock is set to cash-in, Vince's music hits and he suspends him for the night. With the suspension, Lesnar cannot cash-in, and it is pushed for the next time Rollins appears on TV – WWE Super ShowDown.
In that way, Brock remains as someone who wanted to cash-in but just couldn't because he was stopped from doing it by The Authority. Seth Rollins is kept safe for the PPV and Vince gets more heat as he has been for the past few months.
#3 – R-Truth interrupts thinking Brock is cashing-in for the 24/7 title
R-Truth's comic timing has been brilliant for a long time now, and with the 24/7 title around his waist, it's just gotten better. The title that has to be defended anytime, anywhere is forcing him to stay away from all the other superstars and even announcers.
Truth still calls it the European title and when Brock hands in the Money in the Bank briefcase, it won't be a surprise if he comes out and thinks that the match is for his title. After a brief promo by the 24/7 Champion, he takes the briefcase and runs away.
With no cash-in confirmed and R-Truth running away with the title, the match is postponed. McMahons come out and announce that they will get the briefcase from Truth and also that Brock will have to cash-in at WWE Super ShowDown at any cost.
#2 – Seth Rollins makes Brock Lesnar wait
Seth Rollins keeps mentioning the fact that he is a fighting champion. The WWE Royal Rumble 2019 winner had to wait for months before he could get his hands on the then WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar.
Now with Lesnar waiting to get the title back, Rollins might take the opportunity to teach the Beast a lesson. The superstars backstage are reportedly frustrated that Brock was never a defending champion and to give him a taste of his own medicine, Rollins might just cut a promo from an undisclosed location.
Brock throws a tantrum in the ring and Triple-H walks out to guarantee him that the match will happen at WWE Super ShowDown. And if Rollins does not show up, he will be stripped of the title and it will be handed to Brock Lesnar.
#1 – John Cena return to challenge Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam
WWE are desperately looking for ways to improve their ratings and with All Elite Wrestling kicking off soon, they need to make sure that the fans do not jump ship. Rumours suggest that John Cena is WWE's way of keeping the fans glued and it won't be a surprise if he returns for SummerSlam.
The 16-time Champion has already hinted that he would not be retiring from WWE soon and this could just be the perfect way for him to come back. The interference from Cena stops the match from starting, and the Beast is laid down flat by the returning WWE superstar.
Cena is not set to perform at WWE Super ShowDown as he is reportedly not keen on working in Saudi Arabia. Brock would then cash-in his MITB contract at the Jeddah PPV and issue a challenge to Cena at SummerSlam.
