WWE Money in the Bank looks like a solid PPV considering the match card that already has many high profile matches. With less than 2 weeks to go, we might see a few more matches which can be added to the card. However, the current card in itself has generated a great buzz already. Apart from the traditional two Money in the Bank ladder matches, all the top titles of both men's and women's division will be defended at the PPV.
One of the main talking points of the PPV is the dream match between AJ Styles and the current WWE Universal champion, Seth Rollins. We will also see Becky Lynch defend both of her "2 Belts" as she faces Lacey Evans and Charlotte on the same night. With so many important matches on the card, it is evident that there is a great discussion among the fans as who should win their respective ladder matches or which title should change hands.
However, with a different perspective, let us have a look at superstars who should not win their respective matches.

#5 Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns made a triumphant return to the ring after battling leukemia as he defeated Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35. However, the result did not seem very fitting as it came at the cost of a huge loss of momentum for Drew Mcintyre. "The Scottish Psychopath" was booked as a monster with victories over Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. McIntyre's dominant run, though, came to a halt at WrestleMania 35.
With a victory over Mcintyre, "The Big Dog" stands almost at the same position as he was before he left due to leukemia. Roman Reigns has been pushed heavily since the last few years which has caused a very negative reaction from the fans. While the entire WWE Universe was supportive of him during the hard times, having Reigns win feuds in the same old fashion will probably make things the same as they were before.
As badly as Reigns should not win his match, it is also the disappointing status of Elias that should be considered. Elias has barely seen his hands being raised in high profile matches since turning heel. Hence, Reigns losing should be the most sensible decision.
#4 Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss has been sidelined due to a concussion since October 2018. Bliss has, however, still been a familiar face on TV. Bliss made her official return to the ring in the 2019 Royal Rumble match but wasn't seen again in the ring until April 2019.
Little Miss Bliss announced herself as one of the participants for the 2019 women's Money in the Bank. Alexa Bliss isn't a stranger to Money in the Bank matches as she did win the briefcase in 2018. Fans have responded very well to her in-ring returns. Thus, it might not be a surprise if she indeed becomes the first woman to win the Money in the Bank briefcase twice.
However, while Bliss is just the type of superstar you would expect to be appropriate for winning the briefcase, she is far from the ideal choice of winning it. "The Five Feet of Fury" will find a way to be in the title picture sooner than later and she definitely does not need the briefcase at this moment. There are far better contenders who need a victory of such magnitude to finally get a push into the main event scene.
#3 Randy Orton
Randy Orton has had a tremendous run as a heel since returning at Extreme Rules 2018. After many years, Orton finally seemed motivated, hungry and vicious as he once was. It is only a matter of time when we will see "The Viper" in the main event scene as the top heel of the blue brand.
With that said, his path to the top should not start by winning the Money in the Bank briefcase. "The Apex Predator", despite being an opportunistic heel, can do very well without the briefcase. Randy Orton has had the honour to win and successfully cash the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2013. The scenario right now is different than what it was back in 2013. The men's Money in the Bank match has more worthy contenders in the form of Drew Mcintyre, Finn Balor and Andrade.
#2 AJ Styles
AJ Styles' move to the red brand was easily one of the most predictable drafts in the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up. If there was anything as predictable as his draft, it was his eventual feud with Seth Rollins. However, being predictable does not necessarily mean being bad. Styles had achieved almost everything in the blue brand and thus, a move to Raw was inevitable.
The only unpredictable thing in this storyline is how early we are actually getting this feud. Many expected the match to happen at SummerSlam if not WrestleMania next year. However, WWE was quick to give the fans a dream match they have always craved for. With that said, it is safe to say that this feud will not culminate at the Money in the Bank PPV. The upcoming match is perhaps the best opportunity to see a heel turn as both Styles and Rollins have been a face for a long time

#1 Becky Lynch
As soon as Becky Lynch won both the Raw Women's championship and Smackdown Women's championship, everyone wondered if she would defend both the titles at the same time. "Becky 2 Belts" was in fact, the last person you would expect to step down from doing the same. As a result, Lynch has been working double duties as she has been appearing on both Raw and Smackdown. She is set to defend both of her titles at Money in the Bank PPV.
"The Man", however, has had two contrasting feuds in the two brands. While she is facing Charlotte, again, for the Smackdown's Women championship, she did find a new challenger in Lacey Evans who has proven herself to be a breath of fresh air. It is highly unlikely that "The Lass Kicker" will be able to defend both of her titles at Money in the Bank PPV.
In fact, it will be in the best interest of Becky Lynch to actually drop one of the titles. Lynch should not overstay her welcome on Raw and Lacey Evans, despite being a new face, has done a fantastic job. While it may be too soon to crown her as a champion, it is definitely better than Charlotte winning the title right now.
