The lineups for this year’s MITB ladder match is final. We officially know the participants from both WWE Raw and Smackdown.
All the superstars from men and women’s division had to earn their spots for this opportunity. They will get a lifetime chance to become a world champion in the upcoming PPV event.
WWE Raw will also take the chances to hype-up the MITB ladder match using the participants. Eight men in combined will compete from the men’s division with four each from the red and blue brand.
The creative team is willing to create a healthy competition among the four under their banner.

The concerned names from WWE Raw for the MITB ladder match are Braun Strowman, Kevin Owens, Bobby Roode and Finn Balor.
The current scenario suggests we will have two separate matches featuring these names. Both the matches will take place on next week’s episode of WWE Raw.
WWE planted the seeds of these big-time matches on this past edition. Braun Strowman had a repeat match against Finn Balor.
It looked that the latter one was firm control when Kevin Owens interfered. He shoved Balor down off the top rope to make the match disqualified.
Balor was not happy with it. So he will receive a chance to take his frustrations out next week. The first-ever Universal Champion will go one-on-one against The Prizefighter.
Now you know, @REALBobbyRoode…

These two had an illustrious rivalry back in their NXT days. WWE Raw will witness their first encounter on the main roster.
The remaining two MITB participants will also square off in a separate showdown. Braun Strowman hit Kevin Owens with a Running Powerslam on WWE Raw.
Roode was cheering for the monster in the ring. But, Strowman turned his attention to the Glorious One, soon.

It was unfortunate to see Roode getting a powerslam from Strowman. He will also have to face the behemoth name on the flagship show, next week.
This matchup is going to be another first-time contest on WWE Raw. These two contests will certainly build up the situations for MITB. The Toyota Center in Houston Texas will be the host of next week’s show.
