Santos Escobar was in a Money in the Bank qualifier match against Mustafa Ali on SmackDown. Escobar dominated the ring and ensured that Mustafa Ali didn’t get the chance to overpower him and secured the victory to become the next participant in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
The other superstars who have secured their spot in the ladder match are LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, and Butch. Either Matt Riddle or Damian Priest will be added to the ladder match as well. Among the superstars, LA Knight has a huge amount of support from the WWE Universe to win the match.
However, Santos Escobar could steal the spotlight and become the winner of the ladder match. If Knight and Escobar’s win-loss statistics of the past five matches are taken into account, the scales weigh toward the LWO member. While LA Knight has a win-loss ratio of 3:2, Escobar’s is 4:1.

Even though statistics do not mean anything in WWE, sometimes the promotion uses these numbers to build up a superstar and ensure their growth. On the other hand, the creative will need to decide how the ladder match goes forward, keeping the various championships in mind. Whoever deserves a title run will win the briefcase.
