Money in the Bank 2020: 2 WWE titles that can change hands and 2 that won’t

#2 Title that can change hands at Money in the Bank: Universal Championship

The WWE Universal Championship match between Braun Strowman and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt is arguably the toughest battle on the Money in the Bank match card when it comes to predicting the result. Both these Superstars are brilliant inside the ring and have a great deal of momentum heading into the upcoming PPV.

The ‘Monster Among Men’ got the title opportunity only after Roman Reigns backed out from WrestleMania 36. But things turned out pretty well for him as he finally got his hands on the gold that he has deserved for so long.

Strowman found his championship reign being challenged by Bray Wyatt and their rivalry has the entire WWE Universe excited. However, I will still point that WWE should have waited for a couple of months before booking both these Superstars in a title match.

Bray Wyatt lost the Universal Championship to Goldberg earlier this year which arguably affected his credibility. At Money in the Bank, WWE can have him win back his title and wait for Reigns to return so that they can start the feud that they had initially planned. As a result, Strowman’s title reign will probably end on Sunday, which is entirely unjustified.

A Superstar like Strowman deserves a better championship reign, especially when he spends most of the time on the side-lines. Unfortunately, he could be left with nothing at Money in the Bank. The WWE Creatives will still have an opportunity to capitalise on the long history shared between both these Superstars by booking a lengthy title feud. Hopefully, the 'Monster Among Men' will not be reduced as a transitional champion amidst this chaos.
