5 theories on why WWE booked Daniel Bryan on the Money In The Bank kickoff show

#2 The Money In The Bank PPV is already stacked

As well as the men’s and women’s Money In The Bank ladder matches, the upcoming pay-per-view will feature Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles (Universal Championship), Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens (WWE Championship), Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans (Raw Women’s Championship) and Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair (SmackDown Women’s Championship).

Other than the world title encounters, the following matches are also scheduled: Roman Reigns vs. Elias, Shane McMahon vs. The Miz (Steel Cage), Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio (United States Championship), Tony Nese vs. Ariya Daivari (Cruiserweight Championship) and Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Championship).

Looking at those matches, the only realistic contenders to include on a kickoff show are the United States Championship, Cruiserweight Championship and SmackDown Tag Team Championship matches.

Joe vs. Mysterio has the most storyline build-up out of the three, which only leaves Nese vs. Daivari and Bryan & Rowan vs. The Usos as the most likely kickoff show additions.

Right now, it appears as though WWE has only decided to put the tag match on the kickoff show, but do not be surprised if the 205 Live match is added before Sunday.
