Money in the Bank 2020 | Predictions

Hi and welcome back to the blog. Here are my predictions for Money in the Bank.

Jeff Hardy vs. Cesaro
Jeff only just returned to SmackDown. He will get the win here and then go to face Cesaro's former tag team partner, Sheamus.  Predicted Winner: Jeff Hardy.

R-Truth vs. MVP
It looks like they are pushing MVP for a manager role, so he's not losing here.
Predicted Winner: MVP.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
New Day (c) vs. Forgotten Sons vs. The Miz & John Morrison vs. Lucha House Party
I think this match will open the show. Big E & Kofi only recently won the tag titles so they're not losing them here, I don't think they are anyway.Predicted Winners: New Day.

Staying with SmackDown. During Money in the Bank I believe The "SmackDown Hacker" is going to be revealed as Mustafa Ali. CM Punk is NOT going to be revealed as the hacker. Sorry to ruin your excitement but yeah. Let's continue with the match predictions.

WWE Championship Match
Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Seth Rollins
Drew looks like he is fitting into the role of champion very nicely, he looks like he is in his element which is great to see. Rollins is so good as a heel, the way he speaks, sometimes in riddles, reminds me of the old version of Bray Wyatt. (minus the losing) I'm thinking Murphy will attempt to help Rollins cheat to win, but that will perhaps backfire leading to a win for the champion and then they will meet again in the rematch, because I don't think this is a one and done match at all. Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Bayley (c) vs. Tamina
I think Bayley remains champion here, I did think of the scenario of Sasha somehow costing Bayley the title inadvertently but that probably won't happen, so here is my final prediction for this here match. Predicted Winner: Bayley.

Universal Championship Match
Braun Strowman (c) vs. Bray Wyatt
Remember that is Funhouse Bray and not "The Fiend" challenging Braun for the Universal Champion. I believe "Fiend" will make an apperance after the the match, to set up that match at the next pay-per-view against Strowman. Until and if that happens, here is my prediction.
Predicted Winner: Braun Strowman.

The Men's & Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will take place at WWE's Global Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut at the same time. The briefcases will be suspended on the roof of the Headquarters with the participants having to progress their way from the ground floor. Here are my predictions/picks for who will win the matches. Disclaimer: I'm going to choose two people for both matches that I believe will win because I can.

Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Nia Jax vs, Dana Brooke vs. Lacey Evans vs. Carmella
Predicted Winner: Asuka or Shayna Baszler

Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Daniel Bryan vs. Aleister Black vs. Rey Mysterio vs. King Corbin vs. Otis vs. AJ Styles
Predicted Winner: Aleister Black or AJ Styles.

My picks are all members of the RAW roster. That's just a coincidence. Watch both winners come from the SmackDown side instead & to be honest I'm only looking forward to watching the ladder matches. I expect more cinematic elements to them & I believe they are pre-recorded and rumors are progress of them will be shown throughout the LIVE show. I'll be back to review (kind of) the event. That will be released tomorrow PM time. Thanks for reading.
