The women’s division MITB ladder match seems more open this year. It does not have any particular favourites, unlike the men’s division match.
It looks like the competition is amongst Strowman, The Miz, and Samoa Joe. But it’s hard to pick one particular name from the female lineup.
Sources did suggest a couple of names who would come up as winners. But that might be just a wild guess. No woman on the roster has enough momentum towards the match except one name. She is none other than Natalya from the Raw women’s division. WWE might be dropping some hints about a potential MITB win for her.
The biggest indication is that WWE has attached Natalya with Ronda Rousey. There’re big reasons behind this. She is most likely to turn on her training partner at one point. The ‘baddest woman on the planet’ needs a veteran name to put her over on the roster. No one but Natalya is the perfect name to do this.
It might be the reason that WWE officials brought her back on WWE Raw during Superstar Shakeup. The storyline means evident at this point. Natalya will win the MITB briefcase at the upcoming PPV. She will patiently wait for Ronda Rousey to win the title. It can happen either at MITB or later in the year.
Once this happens, Natalya will cash in the MITB contract on the new champion. It will create a solid rivalry between these two superstars. Plus, the Queen of Harts will turn into a heel once again. This villainous gimmick suits her the best. We can certainly remember the strong heel run that earned her the title on Smackdown.
Her babyface turn was so abrupt it failed to convince us whether its legit or not. We should consider the negative part of it. She might be ready to don her original gimmick starting a feud against Ronda Rousey. We can assure she can justify the role following the MITB PPV event. There’s a reason why we call her the most experienced of this women’s locker room.

Another notable thing is that Natalya is getting more TV time than before. Superstars usually get this if big future planning is in-store for him or her. The same is going to happen for the Hart Dungeon-trained athlete.
She deserves this spotlight after serving the WWE for over a decade. Officials are likely to use her the fullest throughout the upcoming summer.
