When it comes to Money in the Bank, the WWE Universe are always guaranteed a night full of shock, awe and celebration and with the event being held in the UK for the first time ever, anything and everything is possible!
As Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey put their Women’s Tag Team Championships on the line against former Champs Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan, six potential champions look to set their sights on the prestigious Money in the Bank Briefcase as part of the 2023 Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Will it be Bayley, IYO Sky, Becky Lynch, Zoey Stark, Trish Stratus or Zelina Vega who cash in the opportunity of a lifetime? It’s time to weigh in with our Money in the Bank 2023 PPV Predictions:
Elle: It’s such a shame that the title unification match wasn’t taking place here tonight with Alba and Isla representing the former NXT UK brand, but hey ho here we are. If one thing is for sure, it’s that we need dominant and prominant Women’s Tag Team Champions and whilst they may not be the fan favourites, Shayna and Ronda are exactly the ones to do just that. Switching the titles up just weeks after winning them would only harm the already tarnished hot potato lineage, so let Ronda and Shayna defend and dominate on all brands and make those titles mean something again! Prediction: Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler
Adam (TheInsanityInc): I hated the fact the tag title were unified when the NXT belts could have been vacated and handed to a new tag team so my excitement for this match is low, probably a lot due to stumbling, chunkey moveset Rousey being a Champion. It’s been a nice surprise to see Morgan back but I would be very surprised to see a title change here. They need to keep Rousey happy after all and keeping her with the less important titles in the Women’s division is an easy way to do that. Prediction: Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler
Elle: On paper this year’s Money in the Bank Ladder match seems somewhat random but I actually think this year’s match could end up as one of the greatest, with a great mix of talent and up and coming stars.
A huge part of me would love to see Trish Stratus get a modern day title run thanks to the MITB briefcase (God the promos she could cut as Miss MITB) but I imagine both Trish and Becky will cost each other the win, with Zoey of the three fueding women most likely to win of the trio. For me I think it comes down to either Zelina Vega or IYO SKY leaving as Miss MITB with both women worthy of elevating their career. Zelina Vega has been killing it as a face superstar with LWO whilst IYO has finally been getting the recognition she deserves on the main roster. Arghhh can’t they both just win? Here goes Prediction: IYO SKY
Adam: A lot of elements in this match – the Lynch versus Stark and Stratus feud, the turmoil in Damage CTRL and the past beef between Lynch and Damage CTRL. It should make for a very interesting outcome but surely the WWE wouldn’t skip on the chance to give the icon Stratus another big moment along with making Lynch’s life more of a living Hell (storyline wise of course) by her rival denying her of this accomplishment? It will be interesting to see what kind of bumps, if any, Stratus takes in this Ladder match at the very least. Prediction: Trish Stratus
