WWE Money in the Bank 2018: Preview and predictions

Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Lana vs. Natalya vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Ember Moon vs. Becky Lynch vs. Naomi vs. Sasha Banks

In what would technically be the third-ever Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match (yes, we still have to count the James Ellsworth debacle from this pay-per-view last year), this bout features a ton of talent that I feel could put on a very good show. Lana seems a little out of place here and I actually fear for her safety a little bit in this environment but maybe she comes in and takes some hard bumps to shock us all. As for the rest, I’m excited to see what we get out of this. We know that Charlotte Flair doesn’t have a problem with high-risk spots given all those moonsaults to the outside we’ve seen over the years and Alexa Bliss has shown that she can get after it as well when necessary. It’s nice to see Becky Lynch getting a little momentum back, Naomi could throw a few things in there, Sasha Banks has always been good on a big stage and I think we’re just scratching the surface on what Ember Moon can do. However, I think we get a bit of a surprise winner here.

Prediction: If you noticed, the only competitor I didn’t mention above was Natalya and that’s my official pick and I think it sets up beautifully. So I think this match goes on early with Nattie walking out with the briefcase. We then get the Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey match later on for the RAW Women’s Championship. As Ronda is about to put Nia away, Natalya runs down, yanks her pal and training partner from the ring and gets the pin herself. That leaves Nattie as the new RAW Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey in disbelief, a Nia vs. Nattie match at Extreme Rules and a revenge match at SummerSlam for Rousey, which is where she wins her first title. Book it.
