The Heavy Favorite To Win WWE Money In The Bank
WWE's Money in the Bank PPV is taking place this Sunday, June 18, and the betting odds for the [...]
Baron Corbin -190
Why it will happen: It makes more sense for heels to carry the case. Cashing in is best used when done in a nefarious manner. There are three of them in this match and one of them has yet to be pushed to the main event. All signs point to The Lone Wolf climbing that ladder and winning the match. At -190, he's a huge betting favorite. WWE is high on Corbin and see him as a big money player heading into the future.
Why it won't happen: Jinder Mahal is the current WWE Champion. Baron cashing in on a heel champion doesn't really add up unless they want to turn Corbin face, which they definitely don't. Then again, John Cena is coming back on July 4th. Would anyone be surprised to see Cena defeat Jinder Mahal and Corbin cash in on Cena at a later date?
prevnextSami Zayn +650
Why it will happen: Despite his victory this Tuesday, this would still be a shocking victory. WWE loves to throw a curve ball into these matches sometimes and having Sami win would be a big one! It's also been a while since someone has won the MitB match but lost their cash in match. Sami doing just that would fit his character perfectly.
Why it won't happen: He's Sami Zayn. His current character is built on giving his all but ultimately coming up short. He'll get a run with a mid-card title before he ever gets close to the top prize.
prevnextKevin Owens +650
Why it will happen: See slide A. Heels with briefcases are where it's at and no one works the heel with a prop angle better than Kevin Owens. If the WWE champion were to get in a car wreck, Owens would be the guy to show up with the case and cash in while the champ was being loaded into the ambulance. Savage.
Why it won't happen: Owens already has the United States Championship. No way he's getting to carry two accessories to the ring each week. Holding the MitB briefcase while being the US Champ would be like dating a girl while constantly carrying around a photo of her more attractive sister. It's not happening.
prevnextAJ Styles +750
Why it will happen: Styles is the best wrestler in the business, but he's 40 years old. WWE wants to load him up with as many accomplishments as they can before he eventually hangs it up. This kind of match fits his "style" set perfectly and we could totally see The Phenomenal One carrying the briefcase for a long time before becoming a 2 time WWE Champion.
Why it won't happen: He's 40. He's already an established superstar. He doesn't need this briefcase to get a championship match.
prevnextShinsuke Nakamura +450
Why it will happen: WWE is all in on The Artist Known As Shinsuke Nakamura. What better way to push him to the top than by giving him the win at Money In the Bank? It makes perfect sense!
Why it won't happen: Carrying a briefcase would totally not vibe with his entrance. It would be handing Michael Jackson a tuba before he went on stage. No way.
prevnextDolph Ziggler +1500
Why it will happen: There has only been one two-time Money In The Bank winner in WWE history. That man is CM Punk. WWE will do anything to diminish Punk's place in the record books. Having Ziggler share that record with him would do just that.
Why it won't happen: He's Dolph Ziggler.
