WWE Money in the Bank 2019: Ranking each competitor in the women's ladder match based on how likely they are to win

Money in the Bank 2019 will take place this Sunday on May 16, 2019. In the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match, there will be eight participants. Four participants came from Monday Night Raw and four participants came from SmackDown Live.

The four participants announced from Raw were Alexa Bliss, Dana Brooke, Natalya, and Naomi. Alexa Bliss would later suffer an injury and would be replaced by Nikki Cross. The four participants announced from SmackDown Live were Bayley, Carmella, Ember Moon, and Mandy Rose (one member of Fire and Desire was chosen to be in this match and it ended up being Mandy Rose after Sonya Deville gave her consent).

All eight of these women have a chance at winning this match as these are eight of WWE's top stars. With high flyers like Nikki Cross, Naomi, and Ember Moon, scrappy underdogs like Bayley, powerhouses like Dana Brooke and Natalya, and opportunists like Mandy Rose and Carmella help to make up a great match that can really steal the show. All of these men would be great as Miss Money in the Bank as they are all talented in their own way.

#8 Carmella

Carmella has already held this briefcase two times.

Carmella does not have a good chance of winning this match. She has already won this ladder match two times and is one of the only superstars (and the only female superstar) to hold the Money in the Bank briefcase more than once.

She also held the briefcase for more than 280 days so it is not likely that WWE would want her to hold the briefcase again. It is also unlikely that she wins this match because she is a face and is one of WWE's most over superstars.

The Money in the Bank briefcase is more fit for Carmella's former opportunistic character. Given the fact that she is such a well-loved superstar and has already held the briefcase more than once, she will not win this match. She is likely just there to provide star power.

#7 Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke is finally being given a chance.

Dana Brooke has been overlooked for years. Ever since she stood up to Charlotte Flair back in early 2017, she has been nothing more than a background player who has put over several superstars including Ruby Riott, Nia Jax, Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Ember Moon. However, she is finally being given a shot to become a top superstar in WWE.

It all started a few months ago when she stood up to Ronda Rousey and delivered the promo of her career. She then almost vanquished the entire Riott Squad in the WrestleMania Woman's Battle Royal and is now in the biggest match of her career. However, she is still unlikely to be given the victory. Her performance in this match will be more important than whether she actually wins or not and it is nice that WWE is actually giving her a chance.

#6 Naomi

Naomi has only recently made her return to Monday Night Raw.

It is nice to see that Naomi is finally being given a chance to succeed on Monday Night Raw after being on the sideline for much of 2018.

She is incredibly athletic and definitely deserves to being given a chance to be a top star in Raw's women's division. However, she does not have a large chance of being given the victory. While she has had an impressive start to her career on Monday Night Raw with victories over Billie Kay and Alexa Bliss.

While she would be great as Ms Money in the Bank, it is unlikely that WWE will give her the victory as she has already been given two title reigns. She is likely in this match due to her large amount of athleticism as she provided several highlights in the woman's money in the bank ladder match last year.

#5 Natalya

Natalya is also known as the Queen of Harts.

Natalya is arguably the most decorated star in this match. Since making her return to Monday Night Raw, Natalya has received an increasing amount of air time and has been given small pushes.

Since returning to Raw, she has defeated several top stars including Alicia Fox, Mickie James, Ember Moon, Sasha Banks, Ruby Riott, and Alexa Bliss. She also took Ronda Rousey to the limit and was a favorite to win the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match last year.

However, now that Ronda Rousey has (temporarily?) left WWE she does not have much to do and is unlikely to win this match as she has already accomplished so much and does not really need this victory. The main reason she is in this match is likely because she is the only superstar to have competed in all three of the women's money in the bank ladder matches beforehand.

#4 Nikki Cross

Nikki Cross recently had her first match on Monday Night Raw in months.

Nikki Cross replaced Alexa Bliss in this match after it was announced that Alexa Bliss was not cleared to compete at Money in the Bank.

Due to the fact that Nikki Cross was not in this match a week ago, Nikki Cross's chances in this match may be viewed as low to none. However, Nikki Cross has more of a chance than you might think.

On this past Monday Night Raw, she defeated Natalya, Naomi, and Dana Brooke in a fatal fourway match and received a lot of cheers from the WWE Universe. This can lead to her being given a big push. Nikki Cross's crazed character is also perfect as Ms. Money in the Bank due to her large amount of unpredictability. She is testing out a new character and might be given a chance to do that with the Money in the Bank briefcase.

#3 Ember Moon

Ember Moon has the potential to become one of the premier athletes of SmackDown women's division.

Ember Moon has had a very mixed career since joining the main roster. While she had several breakout performances including her performances in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, the #1 contender's 20-woman battle royal at Evolution, and the Women's Royal Rumble.

However, she has also spent several months doing nothing but putting over less talented women like Nia Jax and Tamina. Since she has made her return from injury and joined the SmackDown Live roster, she has done pretty well for herself as she is in this match. She definitely deserves to win this match and would be perfect as Ms. Money in the Bank.

Her finishing move the Eclipse is one of those out of nowhere finishers. It would be perfect for Becky Lynch to be delivering a promo only for Ember Moon to deliver an Eclipse out of nowhere before cashing in the briefcase.

#2 Bayley

Bayley has become revitalized on SmackDown Live.

Bayley is finally being given a chance to shine on SmackDown Live. After years of playing second fiddle to other women including Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, and Ronda Rousey, Bayley is finally being given a chance to shine on SmackDown Live.

In her first two singles matches on SmackDown Live, she took both Charlotte Flair and Raw and SmackDown Women's Becky Lynch to the limit. She has proven herself to be a potential star on SmackDown Live. She just needs a small push. She can finally prove herself to become one of the best women in all of WWE.

There is a reason that she recently had great matches with both Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. There is definitely a strong possibility that she turns heel due to all of her frustrations and that can start with a victory at Money in the Bank.

#1 Mandy Rose

Mandy Rose is known as the Golden Goddess.

Mandy Rose is clearly a superstar that WWE wants to build the women's division after. WWE obviously views Mandy Rose as a future star and as a result of that, there is a strong chance that she eventually becomes SmackDown Women's Champion.

The idea of Mandy Rose becoming SmackDown Women's Champion in a clean fashion may be a little unreasonable. Therefore, she needs something such as the Money in the Bank briefcase to push herself to the top of the division.

She also has a strong chance of winning the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match because now that Alexa Bliss has been removed from this match, she is the only heel in this matchup. There is also a perfect cash-in scenario in which Sonya Deville is having a match with Becky Lynch and Mandy Rose runs in the middle of the match and steals the victory.
