The Money In The Bank pay-per-view is less than three weeks away and some top matches have been announced already.
The list includes the Men's and Women's Money In The Bank ladder matches that will see top Superstars battle it out to secure a year-long contract that can be cashed in at any time, any place for either the WWE or Universal Championship.
A lot of deserving Superstars have been named for both the ladder matches from RAW and SmackDown Live, though some of the top names have been left out.
Trending
Some of these talents deserved to be in the match, though the WWE decided to quite conveniently ignore them.
Here are five men's competitors who were deserving and could have made an impact, but missed out in the ladder match from this year's event.
#5 Rey Mysterio
Any ladder match needs as many high flyers as possible, to add some high risk manoeuvres that attract the attention of the audiences.
When the Superstar is one of the greatest high-flyers in the WWE, not many would argue against having him in this main-match. Despite that, the writers and management have chosen Ricochet over the former World Champ.
Rey Mysterio Jr. made his return to the company to be part of such big matches that could really give this "legend", more unforgettable moments.
However, it seems that he has landed in the mid-card of WWE for now, but could possibly wrestle for the US title and that might be the silver lining after all.
With that being said, he would still be disappointed on being left out of this match that totally suits his style of wrestling and could have really produced something special.
He seems to have diverted his focus on promoting his son Dominic and picked up a win over Samoa Joe on this week's RAW. So it seems that there might be a Wrestlemania rematch in the making, but does the WWE Universe really want to see such a match? Only time will tell.
#4 Bobby Lashley
As The Miz rightly pointed out on Miz TV, The Almighty has not really been able to impress since coming back to the WWE and is still finding his feet.
However, he has done a lot for this company (overall) in the two runs that he has had with them and one would feel that his booking has not been up to the mark.
He was one of the top Superstars at Impact Wrestling and could have really proven to be a great challenge to some of the giants of the industry. Despite that, he was once again left off the Men's MITB match and will have to earn recognition through another potential match.
With The Miz set to feud against Shane McMahon, Lashley is yet to find an opponent for this pay-per-view and it will be interesting to see how the WWE handles his situation. Hopefully, they don't mess it up once again.
#3 Cesaro
The Swiss Superman has been part of the WWE's Tag-Team division for quite some time, with his partner Sheamus, forming The Bar.
With the Celtic Warrior reportedly injured at present, Cesaro is once again being given a run as a single's competitor. He made an appearance on RAW and beat Cedric Alexander in a match, which hinted another potential push.
However, he was left out of the Men's Money In The Bank ladder match which means that the writers are just not ready to go with a big-push at present. He will have to possibly build his single's career from scratch and win over the fans once again, a.k.a The Cesaro section.
Only time will tell how much faith the company still has in his capabilities, as it was Vince who had pulled the plug on his single's push earlier in his career, as he did not feel that Cesaro had the mike skills to back his in-ring ability.
Despite that, anything is possible in the WWE and Kofi Kingston's current push is the best example of that.
#2 Robert Roode
Bobby Roode is one of the most talented Superstars in the company (as he has already shown in NXT) and could have been a great heel, had the WWE writers not decided to put portray him as a baby-face in his debut run on SmackDown Live.
The former United States champion had the skills and charisma to make an impression.
Eventually, he picked up a new persona. This time it was the glorious Robert Roode, with a moustache similar to the Hall Of Fame legend "Ravishing" Rick Rude.
Despite that, it seems that he has been over-looked and the writers feel he needs more time to develop into a top talent.
He was once again left out from the MITB match. The match could have given his new persona the much needed boost that it needed.
#1 The Miz
One of the biggest heels of the company went through a face-turn. He has since been battling just Shane McMahon.
The feud, that has had a personal touch to it, but though the match at WrestleMania was a good setup for something bigger in the long-run, continuing the rivalry has not been the best idea.
The Miz could have really spiced things up in the Men's MITB match with his comments and remarks, as his talking skills are one of the best in the company at present. Most of the Superstars involved in the match are really good fighters, but that not great when it comes to the mic.
They could have really made the match "must-see" with his presence and it is still not clear what the writers have in mind, with his baby-faced character. He surely deserved to be in that match and could have made an impact.
