WWE is all set to present its next pay-per-view Money in the Bank on July 18, 2021. The show will take place at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, in front of live fans and will be the company's first pay-per-view on their return to live touring.
Vince McMahon surely has huge plans for Money in the Bank as it was delayed specifically to take place in front of live fans. The match card for the show has already started to take shape with multiple matches announced on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW. Multiple more matches would be added to the card in the coming weeks.
Let's take a look at the full match-card predictions for WWE Money in the Bank 2021. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same. Who are you rooting for to win this year's men's and women's Money in the Bank matches?

#7 Roman Reigns (c) vs. Keith Lee for the Universal Championship at WWE Money in the Bank 2021
Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been dominating the roster of SmackDown since last year and looks almost unstoppable. Last week on SmackDown, he defeated Rey Mysterio inside Hell in a Cell. On Talking Smack, Paul Heyman issued an open challenge for any superstar to step up to The Tribal Chief this coming Friday.
Now, this could be a great platform for WWE to have a massive return and who better than former NXT Champion Keith Lee. With Money in the Bank having live fans, the company would want to have Roman Reigns compete in a major match against a popular babyface.
Keith Lee has been off TV for nearly four months now and fans would love to see him back. With the rumors of Mia Yim being drafted to SmackDown, it makes sense for Lee to also move over to the Blue brand.
Roman Reigns has an interesting history against Keith Lee, dating all the way back to Survivor Series 2019. While The Limitless One might not win his match against The Tribal Chief at WWE Money in the Bank 2021, a strong showing would help him a lot.
Prediction: Roman Reigns retains the Universal Championship.
#6 Rey Mysterio and Dominik (c) vs. The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Money in the Bank 2021
The SmackDown Tag Team Championships could be on the line at WWE Money in the Bank 2021. We have seen The Usos fall short of defeating Rey Mysterio and Dominik for the titles. However, with Roman Reigns defeating Rey, the two teams could now have a proper rivalry leading to a match at Money in the Bank.
Previous reports have suggested that WWE is planning to put the titles on The Usos. That might happen at WWE Money in the Bank next month with Jey and Jimmy Uso winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in front of a live crowd. This could kickstart the much-awaited heel Bloodline angle, with the trio dominating the roster of SmackDown.
Prediction: The Usos become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
#5 Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Championship at Money in the Bank 2021
One of the few matches already announced for Money in the Bank, Rhea Ripley is set to once again defend her RAW Women's title against Charlotte Flair. Truth be told, fans are not very happy to see WWE drag this feud.
With the company continuing to keep The Queen in the title picture, there is a possibility that she might become the new RAW Women's Champion at WWE Money in the Bank 2021.
Prediction: Charlotte Flair becomes the new RAW Women's Champion.
#4 Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank 2021
Another match already announced for Money in the Bank is for the WWE Championship. Bobby Lashley will be defending his title against one-half of The New Day, Kofi Kingston.
Now, a lot could happen here. We've already seen MVP trying to get Kingston to join The Hurt Business and the prospect of a heel turn from him sounds interesting. Whether that happens or not, Bobby Lashley will be the favorite to win this match at Money in the Bank and retain the WWE Championship. Hopefully, a match against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam would finally happen for him.
Prediction: Bobby Lashley retains the WWE Championship.
#3 Bianca Belair (c) vs. Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Money in the Bank 2021
SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair had a great title defense against Bayley at Hell in a Cell. Her feud with the latter is likely over and it is to be seen who she feuds with next. One option could be the former Ms. Money in the Bank, Carmella.
Bianca Belair is arguably the biggest babyface on WWE's current women's roster. She is sure to get a great reception from the live fans. WWE would want to send the WWE Universe home happy with Belair retaining her title.
Prediction: Bianca Belair retains the SmackDown Women's Championship.
#2 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match
Coming to the first of two Money in the Bank ladder matches, eight women would compete to become Ms. Money in the Bank 2021. The briefcase hanging above the ring would guarantee them a shot at either of the women's titles anytime they want.
This past week on Monday Night RAW, WWE announced four competitors from the Red brand for this match. These are Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross, Asuka, and Naomi. The other four spots would likely be filled by SmackDown Superstars and we might find out the names soon.
Three of those spots could go to Bayley, Liv Morgan, and Sasha Banks, provided the latter returns to SmackDown in the next few weeks. The final competitor could be a massive surprise with former RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch finally making her WWE return.
If Lynch does return, she'll definitely win the match and become Ms. Money in the Bank 2021. Fans have been waiting to see the return of The Man and this would be a great angle for her to come back and enter the title picture. If she doesn't end up being in the match, it could be Sasha Banks to win the briefcase this year.
Prediction: Becky Lynch or Sasha Banks becomes Ms. Money in the Bank 2021.
#1 Men's Money in the Bank ladder match
The second Money in the Bank ladder match will be for the male roster. Becoming Mr. Money in the Bank guarantees a shot at either the Universal or WWE Championship, at any place and any time. Last year's decision to let Otis win the briefcase didn't turn out to be that good, and WWE would want to have a proper winner this time.
This week on Monday Night RAW, Ricochet, John Morrison, and Riddle qualified for the men's Money in the Bank match. WWE has also announced that next week, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, and AJ Styles will face each other in a last-chance qualifying match for the men's Money in the Bank ladder match. With Riddle already qualifying, we might see Orton be the fourth contender from RAW, making for some interesting spots during the match.
The four competitors from SmackDown for this match could be Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Big E, and, Baron Corbin. Fans would love to see either Cesaro or Big E finally get the mega-push and become Mr. Money in the Bank 2021. Or WWE could swerve us all and let Riddle win the briefcase.
Prediction: Cesaro or Riddle become Mr. Money in the Bank 2021.
