WWE: 3 Potential Rivalries Heading Into Money In The Bank

WWE moved past yet another successful WrestleMania, into the Superstar Shakeup, and now is heading towards Money In The Bank. The company likes to stir things up during this time of the year and there have been some serious changes that have been made which could impact their brand in the long-run. New superstars are brought in and given in a push, while some of the redundant ones are left on the sidelines.

This has once again been the case, as a lot of stars have been linked with a move away from WWE. Many of these stars like Dean Ambrose and Sasha Banks are keen on leaving rather than the company wanting them to go, while stars like Nia Jax have unfortunately picked up long-term injuries.

With that being said, the Money In The Bank pay-per-view builds a really strong platform for some new rivalries to be pushed. The Superstar Shakeup already added a flavor to both RAW and SmackDown Live and this could result in some seriously great matches.

Already the likes of Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch and probably Kofi Kingston already know who their opponents will be, but there could be some more top rivalries that will surely be added to this special “event”. Keeping in mind the two ladder matches, here are five potential rivalries heading into Money In The Bank.

#3 Baron Corbin vs Rey Mysterio

Corbin cost Mysterio his title shot at WrestleMania by injuring his ankle a week before

WWE looks serious about building Corbin as a heel and have already shown that, as he beat Kurt Angle in his last match at Wrestlemania 35. He has been going strong as a heel character, with the WWE Universe booing him as loud as they can and this would be a good sign for the writers, as it is exactly what they have been planning for him.

The creative team may now look to put him up against one more legend whom he can beat and get-over-with, in order to ignite more boos from the audience and cement him as the most-hated heel on RAW (if he isn’t already).

Due to this, they may push Corbin into a feud with Rey Mysterio, who has recently made a return to the WWE and a jump to the red brand. This could be a good way to give Mysterio a serious rivalry with a superstar and eventually help make Corbin, an even bigger heel than he already is. There is surely a lot of potential in this rivalry if the cards are played right.

#2 Finn Balor vs Andrade

Both have won one match against each other

Finn Balor was on RAW last week and was beaten by a debuting Andrade, while on SmackDown Live the tables were turned around (both non-title matches). The Mexican professional wrestler was initially reported to be on his way to RAW, though his relationship with Charlotte Flair saw him return to the blue brand, with the former SmackDown Women’s champ pulling some strings to spend more time with her boyfriend.

Now that both stars are back on the same show, the WWE writers and management may possibly convert this feud into something bigger as we head into the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. Balor has been under-utilized since joining the WWE, though he has been a really hard-worker and Andrade has pulled off some great matches against Rey Mysterio in recent times as well.

Considering these factors, the duo can really put in some more mouth-watering matches in the days to come (tag team or singles competition) and the audience already seems pleased with what they have seen so far and will want more as well. It could be an Intercontinental Title match and the crowd will really want to see that.

#1 The Miz vs Drew McIntyre

Miz has been testing his limits and pushing himself beyond the line

One of the most prominent character changes in recent times was The Miz turning into a babyface after being one of the biggest heels in the company for so long. Though the fans are still getting used to this change, it might be the case that he might be pushed into a feud with Drew McIntyre.

In recent times, the “most-must-see” superstar has been testing his limits and pushing himself beyond the line, which was showcased in his battle with Shane McMahon. He might want to do the same thing on RAW as well, as part of his face-turn storyline and may now challenge McIntyre for a match.

The Scottish Psychopath himself has been on a roll, though he has lost some key matches that would have made him a title contender. With that being said, a good feud with The Miz might push McIntyre back into the picture for the Univesal Championship once Seth and AJ are done fighting for it.
