WWE: Money in the Bank Predictions

The Shield (c) vs The Usos for the WWE Tag team championships

The Shield hasn’t had a great couple of months; and this Sunday, they will defend the titles against The Usos, who defeated The Shield in a six-man tag match. With The Usos going back to their roots, they have found the perfect formula to be the number 1 contenders, but I predict a victory for the champions to retain the titles. They aren’t going to lose the belts, not just yet.

Winner (s) and still the WWE tag team champions: The Shield

Ryback vs Chris Jericho

Ryback will take on Chris Jericho, and Jericho will put Ryback over before taking a vacation to tour with his band Fozzy. Ryback hasn’t had a pinfall victory on PPVs for nearly a year, which doesn’t speak well about the faith WWE management has in him.

All of that can change this Sunday, as rumours are floating around that Vickie Guerrero will now manage Ryback, and he desperately needs a mouth piece. Chris Jericho defeated the Intercontinental champion Curtis Axel this past week on RAW, but that’s where his good run ends.

Winner: Ryback

Curtis Axel (c) vs The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental championship

The champion will defend the Intercontinental title against The Miz at the PPV. This past week, The Miz distracted Axel, and Jericho took advantage of it by pinning the IC champion. Axel suffered his first loss since being repackaged, and even though that doesn’t make much sense, it guarantees a victory for Axel come Sunday.

Winner and still the Intercontinental champion: Curtis Axel

RAW MitB ladder match – Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk vs Christian vs Kane vs Randy Orton vs Rob Van Dam vs Sheamus

The “All Star” Money in the Bank ladder match is arguably the most anticipated bout on the card, as it not only features the top names such as Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, but will also see the return of Rob Van Dam.

With Bryan having all the momentum behind him, he is the odds-on favourite to win the ladder match. Expect an interference by either Paul Heyman or Brock Lesnar himself to cost CM Punk the chance to win the match and get a guaranteed shot at the WWE title. I expect this bout to deliver the goods, and make this PPV memorable.

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Smackdown MitB ladder match – Dean Ambrose vs Damien Sandow vs Fandango vs Cody Rhodes vs Antonio Cesaro vs Jack Swagger vs Wade Barrett

The Smackdown! Money in the Bank ladder match might not boast the biggest names in the WWE, but has all the youngsters – something that can work in its favour.

This match has all the tools to be the match of the night and steal the spotlight, and I expect Cody Rhodes and Cesaro to step up their game come Sunday. I pick Dean Ambrose to win this match, as he’s the most over heel in the WWE and deserves a shot at the gold soon.

Winner: Dean Ambrose.
