3 reasons why Jey Uso will NOT win the 2024 Money in the Bank briefcase
Money in the Bank is regarded as one of the most prestigious premium live events, and WWE will be hosting the 15th edition of the event this weekend. What remains the biggest attraction of the spectacle is the thrilling Men's and Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, where heroes rise and legacies are cemented.
WWE has stacked both ladder matches this year with some fresh names and rising talents. Jey Uso is one of the biggest favorites to win this year's Men's MITB briefcase. He has a very good opportunity to create history this Saturday in Toronto by winning his first-ever Money in the Bank.
Despite being a strong contender, there are a number of factors that seem to suggest the 38-year-old star will not prevail in the Men's Ladder Match. This article explores three reasons why Jey Uso may not win the 2024 Men's Money in the Bank.
#3. Jey Uso is already an established superstar
For years, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match has served as a launching pad for talents who have mostly been in the mid-card division. It is the stage where new stars are born and careers are defined as superstars set out on a journey to ascend to the main event scene by winning the MITB briefcase.
However, Jey Uso is already an established superstar in WWE and has cemented his legacy as a main-event sensation. The former Bloodline member has tasted success in the Stamford-based promotion and is among the top-caliber superstars in the company. Therefore, he does not necessarily need to win the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Many other superstars, like Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, and Chad Gable, need a major boost in their careers right now. A victory for any of them in the 2024 Men's Money in the Bank would be more crucial than The Yeet Master, as it would provide them with an opportunity to rise to the main event scene.
Therefore, it seems to be a clear indication that Jey Uso will not win the MITB briefcase this year. WWE may consider offering this chance to any other superstar for whom it would serve as the perfect launching pad into the spotlight.
#2. Jey Uso is on the official poster for Money in the Bank
Under Chief Content Officer Triple H, WWE has ushered in a new era of unpredictability as it unveils shockers and surprises. The Stamford-based promotion has been advertising Jey Uso as the poster boy for the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event.
The 38-year-old is seen holding a customized MITB briefcase in the official poster, as if WWE wants to convince fans that he will emerge victorious in the Ladder Match. However, this seems to be a major hint that he will not win the 2024 Men's Money in the Bank.
WWE often orchestrates a bait-and-switch, deliberately luring fans to anticipate the predictable, only to divert into a new direction, leaving fans flabbergasted. This has been the traditional pattern that is generally followed in the Stamford-based promotion to swerve the fans.
Hence, Jey Uso does not seem to be winning the briefcase this year. Considering WWE's traditional pattern of swerving fans, it appears that his chances of winning are considerably diminished by the fact that he is hinted at as the winner in the official poster for the premium live event.
#1. For The Bloodline's reunion
One of the major reasons Jey Uso does not seem to be winning the 2024 Money in the Bank is because of his eventual inclusion in The Bloodline saga. From the recent developments on SmackDown, it is evident that WWE is setting the stage for the reunion of The Usos and Roman Reigns.
They are expected to join forces and go to war with the new Bloodline formed under Solo Sikoa's leadership. Therefore, The Yeet Master's chances of winning the Ladder Match are minimal, as claiming the coveted briefcase will carve a different route for him, thrusting him into the realm of World Title contention.
Hence, Jey Uso's destiny is whispering a different tale – one that does not include the MITB briefcase. It seems the former Undisputed Tag Team Champion will eventually reunite with his brother Jimmy Uso and once again form the O.G. Bloodline with Roman Reigns. This is a chapter that is seemingly destined to unfold in the coming months.
Therefore, WWE is seemingly laying the groundwork to catapult Jey Uso into The Bloodline saga, which will shape the landscape in the coming time.
