WWE MITB (Money In The Bank) Preview & Prediction: June 17, 2018

WWE MITB aka Money in the Bank is all set to emanate from the windy city, tonight.

Titles will be on the line, and personal grudges will come to an end in the form of almost a dozen matches on the card. Plus there will be sounds of shattered bones and cracked ribs throughout the night, as ladders will come into play.

It is the night where we crown future champions courtesy of the MITB briefcase. The same tradition will be intact, as we will witness men and women gunning for it in separate matches. Six championships will be on the line apart from these two ladder matches. There are some non-titles bouts as well that makes the card a packed one.

The infamous All-State Arena in Rosemont, Chicago, Illinois will be the host of MITB PPV event. WWE Network will broadcast this exclusively from 5.30 AM onwards. An additional kick-off show will be there from 4.30 AM on the same platform. Here the match card of the night with predictions.

The Bludgeon Brothers(c) vs Gallows and Anderson (Smackdown Tag Team Titles)
Prediction:
The Bludgeons have been a strong tag team champions no doubt. But have we seen them on TV in recent times? The answer is no. Champions who don’t make appearances on WWE TV regularly do not help the programming at all (unless his name is Brock Lesnar).

The team of Gallows and Anderson have made significant improvement ever since coming to Smackdown Live. It is the right time that they should pick up the title and have a long run with it. So they should win the tag titles for the second time in WWE.

Bobby Lashley vs Sami Zayn
Prediction:
It’s a shame that names like Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy would not get a chance on the main PPV card for MITB, whereas, these two might continue to give us a headache. It is the worst feud of this year so far which needs to stop immediately. Fans will be least interested to see it either. As far as the result, Lashley will squash Zayn in this bathroom-break match.

Seth Rollins(c) vs Elias (Intercontinental Title)
Prediction:
This is a perfect feud on WWE Raw that should continue for some more weeks. Elias continues to impress us with his heel antics even against a man who has turned the flagship show into Monday Night Rollins. None of them can’t afford to hand a loss at this stage to lose momentums.

Hence the creative team should choose a DQ finish to this match. They can have another match at the next PPV event. It will also ensure Rollins keeps playing the prime champion’s role on WWE Raw in the absence of the beast.

Carmella(c) vs Asuka (Smackdown Women’s Title)
Prediction:
Asuka is the undoubted favourite to win this bout against Carmella. But this match at MITB is unlikely to go down predictably. There will be interferences for sure. The IIconics or Absolution (Mandy Rose-Sonya Deville) might show up distracting Asuka and save the day for the champion.

There are chances that even James Ellsworth might come back (courtesy PWInsider.com) to renew his ally with Carmella. It will ensure a strong run for the ‘Mella is Money’.

Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass
Prediction:
Some of the fans are not happy with this feud for Daniel Bryan. But the bad news is this rivalry will continue even after MITB. The creative team has to put over Cass with the help of the best talent available on the roster. Bryan has already won their first bout at Backlash. Hence, the seven-footer will pull off the win via some dirty tricks on tonight.

This will not the end of the story, however, as they will get another PPV bout next month.

Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal
Prediction:
This might be the counterpart story on Raw from the feud as mentioned above on Smackdown. Only, in this case, Roman Reigns does not get the support of the fans like Daniel Bryan.

Fans are not ‘over’ with any one of them which is the biggest problem of this feud. Tonight’s bout might go in favour of Mahal. But Reigns will get another chance at Extreme Rules to settle the score. From then on, he will start the journey of Summerslam.

Nia Jax (c) vs Ronda Rousey (Raw Women’s Title)
Prediction:
Current reports are saying this one would be the main event for MITB PPV event. If this is the case, then there will be multiple involvements during the contest. The match is basically a 50-50 depending on the creative plan.

If Natalya wins the MITB briefcase, then it’s almost final that Ronda Rousey will, but she will be the victim of Nattie right after winning the match.

If it does not happen,  then there are chances that Stephanie McMahon will appear in the match to create distractions for Ronda. We will see an ally between Nia and McMahon from this point onwards helping Rousey to generate some automatic sympathy from the crowd.

AJ Styles(c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (the Last Man Standing for WWE Title)
Prediction:
Shinsuke Nakamura improved a lot as a heel superstar on Smackdown roster ever since Wrestlemania. He had a better impact on the show rather than the champion which is a pretty good achievement.

So the officials should give the WWE Championship finally. The environment is the same as well for the win.
These two will battle in a Last Man Standing match at MITB which means it’s ‘anything goes’ between them. So Nakamura’s low blows will the most effective in this gimmick match.

This should be able to keep Styles down for the referee’s ten-count to let his opponent win the title.

Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Prediction:
Natalya is the undoubted favourite to win the 2018 women’s MITB ladder match. The number of TV appearances and a significant presence determines who is going to be the future title-holder. We get the MITB briefcase holders from that perspective. With the budding friendship with Ronda Rousey, Natalya managed to do the same.

If WWE creative does not think that she is suitable enough, then a name from Smackdown Live should win this one. In that case, Becky Lynch or Lana would be smart choices. They both have the capability of holding the women’s title in the future.

Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Prediction:
The Miz is the original choice to win this year’s MITB briefcase.

He would win to be back in the main event scene after a long time. Speculations do say he will cash it in to dethrone AJ Styles from his current reigns. But if Nakamura captures the title, then there might be another planning in-store.

Smackdown superstars are the front-runners to win this men’s MITB match. Hence, Rusev or Samoa Joe should come up as the winner. Both men are willing to go to the championship picture for a long time. This win can give them break through. There are slight chances of Braun Strowman’s win as well if only the creative team wants to set up a rematch against Brock Lesnar in due course.
