After WWE split Big E from the rest of the New Day in the 2020 Draft, the powerhouse of the group quickly found success in the singles division. After winning a feud against Sheamus, Big E captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship, tearing it away from Sami Zayn.

Since then, Big E's sat in that same area on the card and is still battling Apollo Crews for the gold. However, with Big E's solo run being such a success, and with the WWE Universe firmly behind him, maybe it's finally time to push him higher up the card.

Big E's proven that he can hang with the biggest and baddest of WWE and has been a vital component in some of the greatest stories in the company's recent history. With his competitive past with The Usos already in play, Big E would be a great threat for Roman Reigns, as Jimmy and Jey could hammer home just how much of a problem he's been for them.

Big E seems like the best option when it comes to building someone up in the men's division, especially with the Money in the Bank briefcase.

The WWE's Queen of Spades is desperate for a fresh start right now. After two reigns as a tag champion with Nia Jax, the team has pretty much run its course. Nia seemingly paired off with Reginald, it's time for Shayna Baszler to rise to the top of the division.

Shayna Baszler's debut feud was against WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch in 2020, and it seemed that it was her destiny to tear the belt from The Man at WrestleMania 36. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way, and she's been floating around the mid-card ever since.

After being scared to death by a puppet a few weeks ago on RAW and losing to Alexa Bliss at WWE Hell in a Cell, Baszler needs to re-establish herself. She's a dominant force that has bested the likes of Asuka, Bianca Belair, Ember Moon, and more with ease. With a win at Money in the Bank, we could see her reignite her NXT feud with WWE RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley.

Should she win, it might be worth getting a feud out of Baszler and Charlotte Flair, too.
