5 Money in the Bank Possibilities


The Money in the Bank Ladder Match gives us the potential for a first in Wrestlemania/MITB history. Someone wins the MITB briefcase then cashes it in right at Wrestlemania 24 to take away a title. Here's 5 possibilities to consider for the winner of Money in the Bank and cashing in at Mania.

1) CM Punk wins, Edge stops Taker's streak, Punk cashes in against Edge to win World Heavyweight - Many fans and wrestling analysts feel Punk needs to move off ECW and onto Raw or Smackdown. We saw him get screwed over by Edge to lose the ECW title, so why not have Punk cash in and screw Edge over. On the flipside, we could see Punk cash in against Undertaker, making Punk a new heel on Smackdown.

2) Jericho or MVP win to cash in immediately for the other's title - Since they're competitors in MITB match, they'd have the advantage to immediately cash in and bash the other guy with the briefcase. Either man could be worn down, allowing the other to take their title. So either Y2J or MVP would wear both the IC and US titles as of Mania, maybe keeping their feud going. MVP makes more sense here as it would give him even more to brag about as a wrestler in his young and infamous career.

3) CM Punk cashes in for the ECW title shot - Either against Chavo before or after he faces the Battle Royal winner. We may also see Tommy Dreamer defeat Chavo, then Punk go on to cash in to face Dreamer at Mania or ECW later. Dreamer and Punk really are symbolic of ECW and having them fight over the title at Mania would be a great thing too. If it became a Triple threat match, fans may be bored of having two at WM24.

4) Mr. Kennedy wins to make it back to back then cashes in for WWE or World Heavyweight title at Mania. This may happen but I still feel Kennedy's stock is down and an ECW will be the winner of MITB. It could be revealed that Mr. Kennedy is Vince McMahon's real son in another twist but that story may be over as of the Belfast Brawl and Mania.

5) Shelton Benjamin wins MITB then cashes in against ECW title holder - Possibly Tommy Dreamer or Elijah Burke win the 24 Man Battle Royal. They go on to defeat Chavo and have win the ECW title. Shelton comes rushing down with briefcase in hand, then knocks out the ECW champ, takes the pin & ECW title, proving he is the "Gold Standard".

You'll notice the above speculations exclude two wrestlers: Carlito & Morrison who I just can't see winning this match at Wrestlemania, but as we all know with WWE, anything is possible.
