WWE Money in the Bank is this Saturday at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Let’s break down the card and make some predictions.

The men’s Money in the Bank ladder match will feature Jey Uso, Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, Chad Gable, LA Knight, and Drew McIntyre. We have to start by thinking about who has been on a roll lately? That narrows it down to Jey Uso, Chad Gable, and Drew McIntyre. McIntyre has an ongoing storyline with CM Punk, so I am going to omit him as a possibility. Jey Uso has been a huge success as a singles star since leaving The Bloodline and moving over to Raw. He is clearly over with the crowd and moves a lot of merch. Chad Gable has been putting on fantastic matches while having an ever-evolving storyline with Alpha Academy and his heel turn. I think this comes down to who is the bigger star of the two, and for me, I see that as Jey Uso. All men in this match are capable of memorable moments, and these Money in the Bank ladder matches never disappoint. I predict Jey Uso to become Mr. Money in the Bank.
YEET!

The women’s Money in the Bank ladder match will feature Iyo Sky, Chelsea Green, Lyra Valkyria, Tiffany Stratton, Naomi, and Zoey Stark. I’m looking to Iyo or Tiffany to provide the high spot of the match. If we use the same logic as the men to predict this match, the women on the best roll as of late would have to be Lyra Valkyria or Tiffany Stratton. Lyra has had a great run since her relatively recent debut on Raw, with wins over many veterans. Former NXT Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, has had some great matches since her debut as well, also being highlighted in main events and pay-per-views. It does feel like “Tiffy Time” and she is probably the more well-known of the two, so give me Tiffany Stratton to win.

Damian Priest will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins, and if Priest wins, Rollins can never challenge Priest for the title again. After a hot run with Judgment Day leading up to a successful cash-in, Priest’s title run has felt a little stale and underwhelming. Seth did a great job elevating that title before missing time leading up to now with an injury. It feels like a change is necessary, and who better than the crowd favorite, Seth Rollins?

Sami Zayn will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker. WWE has been pushing Bron as an unstoppable beast, but it has felt disingenuous and forced. While Zayn is a great wrestler, his run has felt rather bland as well. It really does feel like WWE is trying to fast-track Bron to becoming a superstar and he has made more than enough enemies on the way up to come up with a storyline as champion. I predict Bron Breakker to be the new WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Will we see the Inter-BRON-tinental Champion this Saturday at #MITB or can @SamiZayn conquer this massive mountain in Toronto? pic.twitter.com/0gBo22eRUp

Finally, we will discuss a six-man tag team match where Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens will take on any three members of The Bloodline that they choose. This new iteration of The Bloodline has been vicious, going so far as to slam Paul Heyman through a table. If I try to think ahead, this has to have something to do with the WWE Universal Championship storyline. If that is true and this leads to a title shot, then I have to go with Solo Sikoa picking up the pinfall victory for his team.
