Money in the Bank 2008
After Wrestlemania 24, Floyd Mayweather will have big money in his bank, adding up to the sum of $20 million. Meanwhile, seven superstars will compete with different money up for grabs: the Money in the Bank briefcase. Superstars from Raw, ECW & Smackdown will go head to head in the MITB ladder match. The object is to be the first wrestler to climb a ladder in the center of the ring and retrieve the briefcase hanging above. Inside the briefcase is a very special contract which gives the winner a "Anytime, Anyplace, Any title" shot. The winner can cash it in whenever and have a shot to become a new title holder.
In the match we have Raw superstars, Carlito, Chris Jericho and Mr. Kennedy...Kennedy! For Smackdown it will be just MVP. ECW offers CM Punk, John Morrison and Shelton Benjamin. The way it looks, there's 3 men who have the best chance of winning the match: Punk, Benjamin or Mr. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy may take the prize as the back to back winner. As many remember he won the MITB at WM23, but was robbed of his briefcase last year due to an injury and an optimistic Edge. Edge went on to take the contract and cash it in to become World Heavyweight champ, after beating and already beaten Undertaker. Clearly a Mr. Kennedy repeat win is not out of the question here. Kennedy even told Randy Orton on Raw that he would cash in the briefcase at WM24 for the WWE title shot.
Punk or Benjamin from ECW may really have the best chance of taking it to set up a scenario. One of the men could win the suitcase with the other winning that 24 Man Battle Royal for a ECW title shot. It's very possible that we see the ECW title change hands twice if Punk and Benjamin wind up winning those two matches. For example, Punk wins the Battle Royal and defeats Chavo for the ECW title. Benjamin wins MITB and immediately cashes it in to defeat Punk, becoming ECW champ.
It's hard to see WWE Superstars Jericho or MVP taking this match. Both men are title holders already. While it's not too far fetched it just makes less sense for either to win and pursue another title. John Morrison, also a title holder, would have to be the dark horse, as he's moved out of the ECW title picture and is no longer on Raw or Smackdown.

If Jeff Hardy would have still been in it, what would your thoughts have been on him winning it?
When I saw Jeff lose the IC title, I figured WWE was preparing him for the bigger title, the WWE title, maybe even at Wrestlemania. Didn't know at the time he had been suspended. Now it looks like probably Punk, Benjamin or Kennedy take this.
