WWE has one last stop before the 2015 Edition of Money in the Bank. And that stop will be at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans for Monday Night Raw. WWE did not have much time to build up Money in the bank properly. This will force them to go all in at Raw, which in turn promises an exciting outing for the fans.
Just like the previous few editions, this week’s Raw will also have a lot of questions to answer. There are still slots to be filled in the Money in the Bank match card. Building up the already announced matches will be another headache. This week’s Raw will be a mixture of both and here is a look at the things we could expect.
Another superstar in Money in the Bank
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
As things stand now, the Money in the Bank match is packed with seven superstars. Kane, Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton, Neville, and Sheamus are the men in the mix. Now, what are the chances of WWE going with seven when they can do eight?
Over the years, WWE has been using even numbers unless some injury pokes up. This year also, they might do the same. An eight superstar will likely be introduced this week on Raw. A handful of names is worth making it, but the fans would love to see someone from NXT make the cut. Bringing back Chris Jericho for a one night stand will work as well.
Future of Cesaro
Tyson Kidd picked up a serious injury last week. Kidd, who wrestled a dark match with Samoa Joe, took a big knock to his spine. The injury is supposed to keep him out for a few months at least. One has to feel sad for Kidd’s case right now, but it affects Cesaro even worse.
The whole tag team storyline that these two had will have to be nixed. This leaves the Swiss Superman with no feud whatsoever heading to SummerSlam. WWE has two options with Cesaro. Either they could find him a new partner or they could let him have a singles run. No matter what they chose, it should happen this week on Raw.
New chapter in the Cena – Owens saga
The John Cena – Kevin Owens saga will take a precarious step at Money in the Bank. If WWE messes it up, everything they did at Elimination Chamber will be all for nothing. Every week in and week out, WWE pulls off something new in the feud. This week also, they should do something similar.
The whole promo idea might not work as we are just days away from the rematch. Instead, an innovative angle would be perfect. But as far as we know the creative might play it safe and come up with a contract signing. If not, they could at least bring back the open challenge of John Cena and give us a good match.
Some more matches for Sunday
The Money in the Bank match card for Sunday has four official matches. There is still room for additions in the pay-per-view. An Intercontinental title match is first in line. There are rumors about a Triple threat between Miz, Big Show and Ryback for the title. If booked, it should be an interesting match since Ryback needs some wins under his belt.
The divas title match is another addition we can expect. Naomi or Paige will get the pick to face Nikki. Brie could also be included in some capacity. The company might also consider having a pre-show tag team match as they have a lot of teams at their disposal.
A Different level
The Ladder match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose will steal the show on Sunday. Both men have been brewing the story perfectly so far. Last week on SmackDown, we saw an intense promo from Rollins. It was probably WWE’s attempt to shed off his chicken image and bring him up as a strong champion.
If this is WWE’s intention, then the feud will be taken to a different level. We will get to see a more vicious Rollins on Raw. Ambrose coming out on his own against the Authority will also impress the fans. A big angle could be in the plans for these two and also, how can we forget the Brock Lesnar factor?
