This Sunday the WWE returns to Peacock for their annual Money In the Bank spectacular. This will be only the second show since the fans have returned, and a sign that WWE is heading back towards normalcy. Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas will host the 12th edition of the Money in the Bank Pay-per-view and many superstars will see their careers change, but only two will see their careers change for the better with an ultimate opportunity. Let’s get into it and look at who is winning this weekend.
Money in the Bank Betting Picks
Odds provided by The Sports Grail
WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (-1000) vs Kofi Kingston (+525)
Kofi Kingston has had a nice run here since the last pay-per-view. They are really building him up as a singles competition again which will ultimately benefit WWE. That being said, NO ONE is beating Lashley right now. Kofi will get his time later, but Lashley is the unstoppable one right now.
Money in the Bank Picks: Bobby Lashley (-1000)
Raw Tag Team Championship: AJ Styles & Omos vs The Viking Raiders
This is one of two matches on the card without odds for the match. Guessing that AJ & Omos are that heavy favorites in this match. The Viking Raiders earned this opportunity by winning a tag team battle royal a couple of weeks ago. The Viking Raiders have looked strong since then, but Omos is too big and AJ is too good for WWE to let them lose the first match between the two. AJ Styles & Omos retain at Money in the Bank.
Money in the Bank Picks: AJ Styles & Omos
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match: Alexa Bliss vs Natayla vs Asuka vs Naomi vs Liv Morgan vs Nikki Ash vs Zelina Vega vs TBD
The other match that has no odds attached to it is the Women’s ladder match. This could be because there is still another superstar to be announced or because this match could be won by any of the seven women announced so far. Nattie or Naomi could get their final run with the women’s title, Morgan, Ash, and Vega could use this to propel themselves up the women’s division. Asuka and Bliss can continue their dominance, but they don’t need the win like the others do. The women could steal the show and the winner could very well surprise some people.
Money in the Bank Picks: Liv Morgan
Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (-650) vs Edge (+375)
Edge is back after his loss at WrestleMania. This time he rightfully gets his one on one match versus the head of the table. Reigns has been the man carrying the championship since last August. Reigns has been dominant ever since then. There are no signs of him slowing down now, even though Edge has been making the Usos look weak in the middle of the ring. Reigns retains to go to SummerSlam.
Money in the Bank Picks: Roman Reigns (-650)
Raw Women’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (-140) vs Charlotte (+100)
The rematch from Hell in a cell. Rhea won by DQ last time and I feel as though this isn’t the last time that these two face-off. Something screwy is going to happen and that will set up their SummerSlam trilogy. I feel as though Charlotte will get the DQ win this time around.
Money in the Bank Picks: Charlotte (+100)
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Seth Rollins (+200) vs Kevin Owens (+800) vs King Nakamura (+1200) vs Big E (+500) vs Drew McIntyre (+175) vs Ricochet (+1600) vs Riddle (+550) vs John Morrison (+1200)
The Mens money in the bank match has some more favorites than in the women’s match. McIntyre and Rollins come in as the front runners to win the match at under +200. Both of these two could use the briefcase to get back into the title picture. I would look elsewhere for the winner though. It is time for one of the guys who hasn’t seen the title to use it to help build himself. With that being said the pick isn’t really that out there.
