Money in the Bank 2020 will be taking place on May 10, 2020. It was scheduled to take place in the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, but the venue has canceled the show in light of the current circumstances. It will likely take place at the WWE Performance Center, where all of WWE's shows have been taking place for the last one month.
It is already confirmed that both men's Money in the Bank match and a women's Money in the Bank ladder match will take place at the namesake event. Two qualifying matches have already been confirmed for this week's edition of SmackDown as Naomi will face Dana Brooke, and Cesaro will face Daniel Bryan. There will also probably be title matches for all of WWE's major championships.

#10 Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Asuka vs. Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax vs. Lacey Evans vs. Mandy Rose vs. Naomi vs. Sonya Deville
There will likely be four women from RAW and four women from SmackDown that participate in this match.
From Monday Night RAW, it is evident that Bianca Belair will participate in this match as her rivalry with Zelina Vega is seemingly over, and as an NXT call up, WWE likely wants to push her as one of their top stars. Nia Jax has also recently made her return, and this would be an excellent place to put her without immediately thrusting her into the title picture.
Asuka has moved in and out of the title picture over the past few months. Now that she is no longer the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, she should be given more singles opportunities. Liv Morgan has been a rising star in the RAW women's division, and this would be a perfect opportunity for her to shine.
It has already been confirmed that Naomi and Dana Brooke will face off in a qualifying match. Naomi will likely win that match as Dana Brooke appears to be joining the women's tag team title picture. There need to be three more Superstars from SmackDown to join this match. Lacey Evans is another given as she has had a number of title matches lately. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville can also explore their new rivalry in this match without having to burn through a singles match.
#9 Intercontinental Championship: Drew Gulak (C) vs. Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn has managed to keep hold of the Intercontinental Championship thanks to the help of his allies Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro. First, they helped him defeat Braun Strowman to win the Intercontinental Championship in a three-on-one handicap match at Elimination Chamber. Then, the two Superstars helped him get an upset victory over Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 36 to retain the Intercontinental Championship. It seems like this rivalry is not over, and there are not a number of options for Sami Zayn to face.
Therefore, Drew Gulak should be given a chance to dethrone Sami Zayn. He was the one that managed to defeat Shinsuke Nakamura to earn Daniel Bryan a title match against Zayn at WrestleMania 36. While he suffered a loss to Cesaro at the WrestleMania 36 Kickoff Show, he can quickly rebound from that and steal the show against Zayn at Money in the Bank.
#8 RAW Tag Team Titles: The Street Profits (C) vs. Cedric Alexander & Ricochet
The Street Profits do not have a plethora of available challengers at the moment. They defeated Angel Garza and Austin Theory at WrestleMania 36 and on this week's episode of RAW. Seth Rollins & Murphy could have challenged Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford but after Murphy's recent illness, that plan is out of question. AOP too are out of action due to an injury to Rezar. The Viking Raiders would be a pretty good option, but they have not appeared on Monday Night RAW for a while.
Cedric Alexander & Ricochet had a thrilling tag team match against Angel Garza and Andrade on RAW a few weeks ago. The two dynamic Superstars then defeated Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan on the RAW after WrestleMania 36. Given the lack of depth in the tag team division, it would not be surprising to see the two Superstars quickly inserted into a RAW Tag Team Title match due to their impressive past performances as singles stars.
#7 SmackDown Tag Team Titles: John Morrison & The Miz (C) vs. The Usos
John Morrison and The Miz defeated several teams, including The Usos and The New Day, in a tag team Elimination Chamber match at the namesake PPV earlier this year. Morrison would then manage to beat Jimmy Uso and Kofi Kingston in a ladder match at WrestleMania 36 to retain the titles. The Miz will be forced to do the same thing on SmackDown when he is forced to defend the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against both Big E and Jey Uso. The Awesome One will probably manage to sneak out of the match with a victory before the two have one last match with The Usos.
The Usos managed to defeat John Morrison & The Miz on an episode of SmackDown a couple of months ago. They were one of the last two teams in a tag team Elimination Chamber match that also involved the New Day, Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler, Heavy Machinery, and the Lucha House Party. They have been presented as favorites to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions ever since they made their return in January and deserve the chance to do so at Money in the Bank.
#6 WWE Women's Tag Team Titles: Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross (C) vs. Carmella & Dana Brooke
Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross managed to regain the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions after defeating the Kabuki Warriors at WrestleMania 36, thus avenging their loss Asuka and Kairi Sane from Hell in a Cell 2019. The two women would then manage to retain their titles against the Kabuki Warriors in a rematch on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 36.
Now that they have put their rivalry with the Kabuki Warriors behind them, they are ready to reign in a new era for WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. While they have a number of potential challengers, including the Divas of Doom and the IIconics (who have been off TV for way too long), it appears that their first challengers will be Carmella & Dana Brooke. Both women had teamed up on SmackDown before and managed to defeat Fire and Desire in the past. They would work well together against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross.
#5 RAW Women's Title: Becky Lynch (C) vs. Shayna Baszler
Shayna Baszler ran through six women to get a match against Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36. The Queen of Spades decimated Asuka, Liv Morgan, Natalya, Ruby Riott, and Sarah Logan in a women's Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber 2020. In her match with Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36, The Man managed to sneak out a victory by reversing the Kirafuda Clutch into a roll-up.
Shayna Baszler has made it clear that her rivalry with Becky Lynch is far from over. She delivered an interview after the match where she said that Lynch would feel the agony of the defeat that the record-setting NXT Women's Champion suffered at the Show of Shows. The longest reigning RAW Women's Champion has made it clear that she has no issues in facing Shayna Baszler once again, so it would make sense for the pair to fight each other again at Money in the Bank.
#4 SmackDown Women's Title: Bayley (C) (with Sasha Banks) vs. Tamina
Tamina was a dominant force in the SmackDown Women's Championship fatal five-way elimination match at WrestleMania 36. It took the combined onslaught of Bayley, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans, and Naomi to eliminate her from the match. The Samoan Superstar confronted SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks on Friday night and made it clear that she wanted the next title shot.
Bayley would then state that Tamina had to defeat her best friend, Sasha Banks, to get a future title opportunity. Tamina and Sasha Banks will face off this week on SmackDown, and if Tamina wins, she can get her first singles title opportunity in years. Tamina will likely get the victory as this will create more tension between Bayley and Sasha Banks. Facing Tamina would provide Bayley with another opportunity to further assert her dominate on the SmackDown women's division.
#3 WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre (C) vs. Kevin Owens
Drew McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. He was challenged by The Big Show about 20 minutes after he had put down the Beast and also managed to defeat the World's Largest Athlete. There are several options for him to defend the WWE Championship against including Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton. However, all three of those Superstars are coming off significant losses at WrestleMania.
However, Kevin Owens scored a momentum boosting victory over Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36 and has earned a title shot. Kevin Owens has not challenged for the WWE Championship as a face in his career, and it would be great to see him finally get the chance to do so. Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens had a great match on RAW several months ago that ended in a no contest. It is only right for the two Superstars to get the chance to determine who is the better competitor.
#2 Universal Championship: Braun Strowman (c.) vs. The Fiend Bray Wyatt
Braun Strowman replaced Roman Reigns after the Big Dog dropped out of WrestleMania. The Monster Among Men made the most of the opportunity and scored an upset win over Goldberg to win the Universal Championship. After his victory over Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown, he was confronted by Bray Wyatt. This will likely be the next rivalry for the Universal Championship.
This is an excellent rivalry for both Superstars to sink their teeth into. There was a lot of understandable fan backlash after Goldberg dethroned The Fiend to become a two-time Universal Champion. This gives Bray Wyatt a chance to redeem himself from a loss that many people feel should have never happened. Bray Wyatt is coming off of a significant WrestleMania victory over John Cena in a Firefly Fun House Match and has earned this title shot. Due to their history in the Wyatt Family, this feud is incredibly personal. Braun Strowman finally has the chance to step out of his former master's shadow.
#1 Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Aleister Black vs. Apollo Crews vs. Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Elias vs. King Corbin vs. Sheamus
There will probably be four Superstars from RAW and four Superstars from SmackDown in the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match. Aleister Black will most likely be a part of the match as he has been a rising force on RAW over the past few months. Apollo Crews will likely be presented as a breakout star on Monday nights in the upcoming weeks, and a place in this match would be a perfect opportunity for him. Randy Orton is a veteran, and his RKOs out of nowhere are perfect for this match. Seth Rollins is presented as the top heel of RAW and belongs in this match.
From SmackDown, it has already been confirmed that Daniel Bryan will face Cesaro in a qualifying match next week. In all likelihood, Bryan will get the better of Cesaro to book his place in the ladder match. Earlier this week, Elias delivered a promo in which he stated his interest in competing in this match, so he will likely join in. King Corbin is one of the best heels in all of WWE and would be great in this matchup. Sheamus has been on a roll since making his WWE return, so it would make sense to put him in this match.
