Money in the Bank 2019: 7 Early Match Predictions

The next WWE pay-per-view is Money in the Bank 2019 which will take place on May 19, 2019, at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The 2019 Superstar Shake-Up is finally over during this week's Raw and SmackDown which has seen many stars switch brands.

There will definitely be a men and women Money in the Bank ladder match taking place. As over the years, it has become a tradition for WWE to make these contract matches which guarantee a WWE or Universal Title match until the next year anytime and anywhere.

It's too soon to predict the match-card now, but still, let's predict seven matches that could take place at this year's event...

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#7 AJ Styles vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens vs. Lars Sullivan vs. Ali (Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

This Money in the Bank Ladder match has been a tradition every year. Last year, due to the brand split, WWE selected four best stars from both the shows and put them in one match. This year something similar is expected; from Raw, AJ Styles should be the first participant in the match since he has now arrived on the red brand. The Miz and Rey Mysterio are also new additions to the red brand so WWE could add them to the contest as well, Bobby Lashley lost his Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 35 so WWE could put him into this match as well.

As for SmackDown, Randy Orton has no storyline going forward since Styles has moved over to Raw so he could become one of the first participants in this match. Kevin Owens missed WrestleMania 35 so WWE should make him part of this match. The new NXT star Lars Sullivan has been making marks since his debut on the main roster he should be added as well and the final spot should be given to the SmackDown's new underdog Ali.

#6 Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya vs. Naomi vs. Ruby Riott vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka vs. Ember Moon vs. Bayley (Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

The women's Money in the Bank ladder match tradition began two years ago. The past year's ladder match was thrilling to watch, which even surpassed the men's ladder match. It has a similar concept just as the men's, as four best women from both the rosters will compete in one match.

From Raw, Alexa Bliss should be announced as the first participant in the match as she has been cleared for in-ring action. Natalya should also be part of the match after she has lost her tag team title shot at WrestleMania 35 and Ruby Riott could be added to the match.

As for SmackDown, Charlotte Flair should be involved in the match after losing her title match at WrestleMania 35, Asuka should be added to the match as she lost her title just before the Show of Shows. Ember Moon and bayley should be the the final additions.

#5 Roman Reigns vs. Elias

Roman Reigns defeated Drew McIntyre in a solid match at WrestleMania 35. But, Reigns has been drafted to SmackDown following the Superstar Shake-Up. He was named the biggest acquisition in SmackDown's history.

Originally, Vince McMahon announced Elias as the biggest acquisition but later on Reigns showed up and attacked both Elias and Vince. This could mean we are heading towards a rivalry between the duo for the following months.

While Reigns could also be added to the men's Money in the Bank Ladder match, WWE would avoid taking risks of pushing him to the top so soon. So, it's better he has a short feud with Elias and he slowly heads back to the main event scene.

#4 Samoa Joe (c) vs. Braun Strowman (United States Title Match)

Samoa Joe could face Braun Strowman at MITB.

Samoa Joe retained his United States Championship against Rey Mysterio at theShow of Shows. Joe was absent during the Superstar Shake-Up week due to being sick. But, he will likely recover by next week.

It's rumored that he will be heading to Raw with the United States Title after Finn Balor debuted on SmackDown with the Intercontinental Title. His first feud will be against Braun Strowman for the title after both had a confrontation on SmackDown after WrestleMania 35.

This rivalry will be quite exciting as both are great in-ring performers and get strong reactions by the WWE fans. Although both are heavy men, we can't expect a five star match from them but still the feud will bring back the prestige of the United States Title.

#3 Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lacey Evans (Undisputed Women's Title Match)

Lacey Evans facing off with Becky Lynch.

Becky Lynch defeated both SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey to become the Undisputed Women's Champion.

Her first feud might have initiated on the following Raw and SmackDown, as Lacey Evans attacked the new champion twice on both the shows.

Evans has been rumored to receive "Super Big Push" and WWE could begin her push when she challenges Lynch for the titles at Money in the Bank 2019.

#2 Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Daniel Bryan (WWE Title Match)

Kofi Kingston faces Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35.

After being screwed by The Authority for months, Kofi Kingston finally received his big moment when he defeated Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 35.

The match was incredible but the result of the contest had to be more surprising as no one expected Kingston to hold the WWE Championship.

Now, Bryan could demand a rematch on the following pay-per-view, Money in the Bank 2019, which will continue this feud.

#1 Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre (Universal Title Match)

Seth Rollins facing Drew McIntyre on Raw.

Seth Rollins conquered Brock Lesnar to become the new Universal Champion at WrestleMania 35. As for McIntyre, he was defeated by Reigns on the show.

There have been rumors circulating that McIntyre will be the first challenger for Rollins's Universal Title match at the following pay-per-view.

McIntyre has completely transformed himself as an in-ring competitor, so his feud with Rollins will definitely be something which should not be missed by the fans.
