Wrestling Fan’s Predictions- Money in the Bank 2014

Hi everyone, it’s that time again where I state my predictions for Sunday’s Money in the Bank PPV. I personally find this PPV very exciting as we get to see who WWE will put their faith in to be their next world champion. 8 men will fight for the chance to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion in an 8-man ladder man, and there will also be the traditional Money in the Bank ladder match for a future World Championship match. Only 2 men in history have unsuccessfully cashed in the briefcase, and tomorrow night 15 men will fight in two ladder matches to claim the ultimate prizes.

Apart from the two ladder matches and the tag team title match, the rest of the matches on the card are really just being used as filler matches, and don’t serve much importance. However, let’s take a look at all the matches and my predictions for each match…

PRE-SHOW: Daniel Bryan Appearance-

So instead of the usual match we get for the pre-show, we will get an appearance from the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan. I for one don’t mind this as the matches on the pre-show are usually pointless anyway. It’ll be interesting to hear from Bryan and see if he announces anything about his return to the ring. 

Money in the Bank Ladder match- Bad News Barrett vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Seth Rollins vs. Jack Swagger vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose-

I am so glad that they’re having the traditional MITB ladder match, and this ladder match should prove to be a fast-paced, and hard hitting match. All of the competitors in this match are worthy of being in this match, apart from Kofi and Swagger, who have been used sparingly over the past few months. So out of the remaining five competitors, let’s take a look individually who has a chance at winning:

Seth Rollins- Rollins has been on quite the roll lately and I think he is holding his own in the singles matches he is having. However, I don’t expect him to win this match as he’ll continue to feud with Ambrose heading into Battleground. 

Dean Ambrose- once again, Ambrose will not win this match and will continue to feud with Rollins heading into Battleground. Moreover, I have been impressed with Ambrose too and the style he is creating within the ring and his character, and I enjoyed the threat he made on RAW about gatecrashing the PPV whether he was involved or not. 

Rob Van Dam- Van Dam is just being used as how Jericho was being used last year, where he loses every important match that he is placed in, so I don’t expect that to change at MITB. I’m still impressed with how RVD can go in the ring, and hopefully he’ll provide some extreme moments in this match, but other than that, he will not win this Sunday.

Dolph Ziggler- this is the man who I think could be the dark horse to win this match. Ziggler has been getting more TV time lately and his match with Bad News Barrett on RAW this past week was very good to say the least. I do think that Ziggler has the second best chance to win this match, and with the crowd behind him, expect some very heavy Ziggler chants throughout this match… however, he’ll still come up short to this man…

Bad News Barrett- I’m afraid I’ve got some Bad News… for everyone else in this match! Barrett has been on a roll since the night after WrestleMania, and even Triple H has seemed to take a shining to Barrett and his English accent. Over the years I’ve said Barrett will win the MITB matches he’s been in, but he never has. This year, I truly believe it’s his year to win the briefcase and finally become the first ever British World Heavyweight Champion in WWE. Expect him to cost Ziggler this match up to claim the briefcase for himself.

WINNER: BAD NEWS BARRETT


Big E vs. Rusev- 

A rematch from Payback, and just like that match, don’t expect this match to be any better. Big E has been slowing down since he lost the title and Rusev’s character won’t last, just like Kozlov didn’t either. Rusev will pick up the win once again with the Accolade. 

WINNER: RUSEV


Divas Championship- Paige (c) vs. Naomi-

This match should be a good encounter between the two, as both are great performers when it comes to competing in a WWE ring. I’ve loved Paige ever since she debuted, and have always been a fan of Naomi’s work she does in the ring. Expect Cameron to interfere in this match and for Paige to capitalize to beat Naomi and retain her title.

WINNER: PAIGE RETAINS


Summer Rae vs. Layla- Fandango was the Special Guest Referee- 

Another divas match on the card, but atleast there’s a bit of story to this one. Both divas have had the upper hand in this feud, but it’s still unclear at times if Summer Rae is a face or not. However, I don’t expect this to be as good as the Paige and Naomi match and will just be used as filler. 

WINNER: SUMMER RAE 


Goldust & Stardust vs. RybAxel-

Again, another match being used as filler for this show, and it’s just another way to prolong the eventual Cody Rhodes heel turn and splitting up from his brother. These teams have had matches before and haven’t been anything special, so I don’t think this one will be any different. 

WINNERS: Stardust & Goldust 


WWE Tag Team Championship- Usos (c) vs. Wyatt Family (Eric Rowan & Luke Harper)-

Well, this is a match I am actually looking forward to, and it’s a tag team match for the tag team titles! I don’t know the last time I was excited to see a tag team title match, but I’m ready for this one! This feud has been going on for the last couple of months, with both team members getting wins over each other in singles competition. It’s been good to see Harper and Rowan on their own, and the new entrance music they debuted on RAW was eerie to say the least. I’m hoping this match gets a decent amount of time given to it, as both teams deserve it. I expect this one to be a good match with both teams looking to make a statement as to why they are the best tag teams the WWE has. 

WINNERS AND NEW CHAMPIONS: THE WYATT FAMILY 


WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder match: John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Cesaro vs. Kane vs. Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Bray Wyatt-

I’m looking to this ladder match than the one for the contract, as there are so many more possible winners that could win this match. This match has 8 competitors in, and they’re all star quality players. I’m happy Kane is in the match, as he was feuding with Daniel Bryan prior to his injury and was guaranteed a WWE Championship match. This will be a high-impact match, with so many unique personalities to make this a great ladder match. Let’s take a look at all the competitors who are in this match:

Alberto Del Rio- Del Rio has been lost in the shuffle ever since WrestleMania, and he’s in this match to add some more star power. Del Rio has won MITB before, but his career has changed ever so much since then, and therefore he doesn’t have a shot at winning this match tomorrow night.

Sheamus- Sheamus has bought some meaning back to the U.S. Title, seeming it has been defended and you actually know who the U.S. champion is now, not like when Dean Ambrose held the title for a year and did nothing with it. However, Sheamus has no shot in winning this match either, and will be used as a hard-hitting player to add a different element to this match.

Bray Wyatt- after Wyatt’s feud with Cena over the course of the year, he has just continued on like he never lost the war with Cena, which is good as it allows him to keep building his momentum for his overall conquest of the WWE. However, Wyatt’s another man who won’t win this match, and I’m glad too, as he is just not ready yet, but in a couple of years, he’ll be the champion… no doubt.

Cesaro- Cesaro is another man who is nowhere ready to be the champion yet, and to me seems to be lost in the shuffle amongst the other high talent players in this match. Hopefully, Cesaro should have a good showing in this match and will have a good future in the WWE, but he’s not ready just yet. 

Kane- these last 3 competitors are the men who I think could win the title in the 8-man ladder match. Kane was feuding with Bryan prior to him getting injured, and I have been enjoying Kane come back to life with his mask back with him also. The demon Kane has been getting back to how he used to be, The Big Red Monster, and I honestly feel that he could have a chance to win the title this Sunday, especially if Bryan announces on the pre-show that he’s ready to return for Battleground, which could set up the Bryan vs. Kane rematch for the title. 

Randy Orton- Orton hasn’t really been a major factor in the build up to this match, which could be WWE’s way of shocking the fans when it comes to him winning the match this Sunday. I seem to be like the only person who wants to see Orton vs. Lesnar at SummerSlam for the title, and I’d like to see it and for it to still be heel vs. heel. Orton won the match last year, and not many people saw it coming, so I could totally see that happening again this year. I think Orton has the second best chance of winning the title again on Sunday.

John Cena- here’s the man who will win it all… John Cena. John Cena will become a 15-time World champion this Sunday, and will be on his way to soon enough beating Ric Flair’s record of 16-world titles. Cena has been feuding with the Authority since Payback, and I think that feud is still far from over. All of the other men apart from Kane and Orton don’t really have a chance at winning this match, and if there going with the Cena vs. Lesnar match at SummerSlam, then look for Cena to win this match tonight. 

WINNER: John Cena 


Overall, I have discussed my predictions for tomorrow night’s Money in the Bank PPV and have chosen my winners for the MITB ladder matches. This PPV will be a standard PPV, with the two ladder matches being the only saving grace for this PPV. It’ll be interesting to see who wins the briefcase and who could be our next WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and I am looking forward to finding this out.

As always, leave your comments and thoughts below and let me know what you think about your predictions for Money in the Bank. Thanks for reading guys!
