WWE: Money in the Bank Predictions

With the Money in the Bank PPV right around the corner, we take a look at the possible outcomes of all the announced bouts – from the WWE championship match to the Money in the Bank ladder matches.

It is also now being speculated that Kane will be replaced by Bray Wyatt at the Money in the Bank PPV after the assault Kane suffered at the hands of the Wyatt Family. Although that is a possibility, it’s a long shot since WWE wouldn’t want to make Wyatt lose a match so early after his debut. Anyway, without further ado, let us take a look at our predictions for this Sunday.

John Cena (c) vs Mark Henry for the WWE championship

John Cena defends his WWE title against Mark Henry. In the weeks leading up to the match, Henry turned on the fans and his own friends and family when he used them as bait to lure Cena in and attacked him. Henry made his intentions clear of being the new WWE champion; and come Sunday, he will get his chance when he takes on the WWE champion.

This past week, Henry laid Cena out once again, thus going into the PPV with the psychological advantage. WWE follows the “Get beaten on TV, win on PPV” rule, and the same will apply this Sunday at the Money in the Bank PPV. I liked Henry’s role till now, but there is no realistic chance of him beating Cena for the title.

Cena will then go on to feud with Daniel Bryan, as there are plans in the works for a Cena–Bryan feud through the summer.

Winner and still the WWE champion: John Cena

Alberto Del Rio (c) vs Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight championship

At Payback, Del Rio took advantage of a hurt Ziggler to win the World Heavyweight title back, and has since turned on the fans to remain the champion. Come Sunday, he will put his title on the line against Dolph Ziggler, who will look to give Del Rio a taste of his own medicine.

However, I don’t think Ziggler will win the title just yet. WWE has been planning to have a Mexican superstar after Rey Mysterio, and Del Rio is the only one who fits the bill. So he might have a long run as the World Heavyweight champion with Ziggler on a title hunt. This Sunday, I predict Del Rio to retain the title, either by pin/submission or by losing the match via DQ.

Winner and still the World Heavyweight champion: Alberto Del Rio

AJ Lee (c) vs Kaitlyn for the WWE Divas championship

AJ and Kaitlyn have been involved in an interesting feud which has put the Divas division back on the map, which is a good thing. AJ won the title for the first time in her career, thus fulfilling a 14-year-old dream of becoming the champion in the WWE. Come Sunday, the personal rivalry will pit the two former best friends against each other, and I expect AJ to retain the title.

Winner and still the Divas champion: AJ Lee
