Could either of these Superstars be dealt a fateful hand at Money in the Bank?
Could either of these Superstars be dealt a fateful hand at Money in the Bank?

Now, before you come at me with pitchforks for suggesting that the worst could happen to any number of Superstars, let me remind you that the kayfabe world of WWE works in a different way. AJ Styles, who was literally buried alive a month ago at WrestleMania, returned on RAW last week and will now be participating in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Speaking of WrestleMania, if there's one thing we've learned from the Showcase of Immortals, it's the fact that cinematic matches will be a huge part of the WWE experience in the current scenario.

So then, given the fact that so many personalities have brought up the possibility of someone getting thrown off the roof during the Money in the Bank ladder matches, it's justified to assume that WWE Creative is up to something.

They may have planned a dramatic sequence or swerve that would get the fans buzzing, just like the Boneyard Match and the Firefly Fun House match did. And that shocking moment could very well involve a WWE Superstar falling off the roof of the WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. Without further ado, let us look at five Superstars who could be dealt this hand at Money in the Bank.


#5 Nia Jax

If there's one thing that Nia Jax has made pretty clear since her return, it's the fact that she's not looking to make any friends in the WWE. She means business and that's pretty much going to be the norm at Money in the Bank as well.

The Irresistible Force is also one of the few Superstars though who simply does not need a briefcase to challenge for any title. Given just how dominant she's been over the past few weeks, she could walk up to any champion and overpower her irrespective of just how tired of fresh she is.

Other female Superstars join hands at Money in the Bank

However, the very fact that Jax is in the Money in the Bank ladder match, WWE may have to find a way to sell Nia Jax coming up short despite her explosiveness since her return following WrestleMania.

One such way would be to have all the female members of the Money in the Bank ladder match join forces in a desperate bid to eliminate her threat entirely. A series of high flying spots could follow, resulting is Nia Jax possibly tipping over the edge of the roof of the Titan Towers.

#4 Rey Mysterio

One of the WWE veterans to have never won the Money in the Bank ladder match, this could very well be Rey Mysterio's last shot at the coveted briefcase. Although he is expected to put up a big fight, most signs suggest that The Master of the 619 is unlikely to come out of top this time as well.

A heel establishes himself at Money in the Bank

Just has been the case during the rest of his current run with WWE, expect Mysterio to be involved in segments that would get another figure over with the fans. Given his diminutive figure, it won't be surprising if a WWE Superstar decided to throw The Ultimate Underdog off the roof.

WWE could use this opportunity to bring about a potential heel turn or even solidify the status of a largely shrewd Superstar such as King Corbin. There's a good chance that WWE might not have much left for Mysterio at this point. So this could also be a way to write him off television at Money in the Bank.

#3 Dana Brooke

One of the most hard-working talents in WWE's women's division, Dana Brooke finally seems to be getting her dues on the main roster. She hasn't seen enough of a push ever since moving up from NXT but now she does have a huge opportunity after qualifying for the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Brooke is definitely not one of the favorites in this match and while fans always love an underdog story, it's hard to believe that she could actually go on and win the Money in the Bank briefcase.

An underdog suffers a fateful blow at Money in the Bank

We've often seen WWE utilize one of the fringe players to push someone as a major star in the company and one name they could be looking to establish is that of Shayna Baszler. The Queen of Spades has been injuring her opponents on RAW for fun and Dana Brooke is the only Superstar in the list of participants whom fans could realistically accept take such a beating at Money in the Bank.

Baszler could proceed to throw Brooke off the roof at WWE HQ to establish herself at the ultimate in the women's division. At the same time, Dana Brooke would get a lot of sympathy from the WWE Universe too which could bode well for a possible push after her return.

#2 King Corbin

One of the only two heel competitors in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, expect King Corbin to resolve to any possible measure in his bid to grab the coveted briefcase for the second time in his career.

The King is likely to bring his iron scepter into play against any Superstar who tries to come in his way. He has had help from The Artist Collective as well these past few weeks so in case they too decide to get involved, Corbin would have a huge advantage at Money in the Bank.

However, what if Elias were to return at Money in the Bank to exact revenge against King Corbin? The Drifter was written off TV after WrestleMania and we all know that WWE loves to have a returning star or two at major PPVs.

Also, if you remember, Elias suffered a huge fall on SmackDown at the hands of Corbin. Perhaps Elias is interested in payback in a similar manner and throwing Corbin off the roof during Money in the Bank would be the best possible scenario for The Drifter. This would also allow WWE to repackage Corbin and give him a move on from his King Corbin gimmick.

#1 Aleister Black

An overwhelming favorite to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, Aleister Black is possibly the most dominant Superstar in the ladder match that takes place this Sunday. The Dutch Destroyer has lost only one traditional one on one bout since beating Cesaro at Extreme Rules last year.

His only loss in over a year has come at the hands of AJ Styles who too will be making his presence felt at WWE HQ. Styles has even mentioned that he's ready to throw Black off the roof of Titan Towers if that's what it'll take for him to land the Money in the Bank briefcase.

AJ Styles gets a chilling shock at Money in the Bank

The Phenomenal One is known to deliver on his promises so he could very well find himself in a situation where it's down to him and The Dutch Destroyer. Styles would somehow do enough to tip Black over the edge and then go on to gloat about just how good he is.

He would then turn around to see a spine chilling figure of Black staring right at him. The latter could then lay out Styles with a Black Mass before climbing the eventual ladder and retrieving the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Aleister Black's dark persona makes a sequence like this believable and he's already hinted at the possibility of something similar in a promo that you can see at the beginning of this slide. Not only would such a spot absolutely blow the minds of fans worldwide, it would also establish The Dutch Destroyer as an elite Superstar ready to enter the main event picture.
