Money in the Bank - Smackdown Money in the Bank

[billm75]

I only see two possible winners: Rhodes and Sheamus. In fact, I think more and more it will be Sheamus. I can see it now, Orton loses the belt to Christian, the second that bell is rung, Sheamus comes stomping out to cash in right then and there, and it's over with. Sheamus is now the WHC and Christian gets to have his second reign clock in at less than 5 minutes.

Rhodes is almost ready for that spot though and I think by WM28 he'll definitely be in that picture.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

im glad theres a thread for this i was trying to find one last night but couldnt! i was thinking about who might win during smackdown and HOPEFULLY wwe doesnt ruin a great chance to give a mid carder a great push! heres who i see having the best chances of winning

Sheamus
Cody Rhodes
Daniel Bryan
Wade Barrett

gabriel and sin cara are in the match for the high flying spots,heath slater has very little personality and kane wont win 2 years in a row.

Sheamus: while i think it would be a horrible move to give this guy the win here i could see it happening sense hes already main event and he could cash in that night if that was the plan.

Cody Rhodes: easily the top mid carder on smackdown right now and his spot in this reminds me of miz's spot in the raw match last year...hes good on the mic (i personally think so anyway) his gimmick works for him (like miz's gimmick works for him) and hes in there with a few main event level guys already in wade & sheamus and i could see cody pulling off the upset and winning the briefcase and holding it till possibly royal rumble when he cashes it in and wins the title

Daniel Bryan: along with sin cara the top midcard face on smackdown right now but unlike sin cara he has many years of experince and this could be the perfect chance to give this guy a main event spot in the future! although if he wins the briefcase he needs a theme music change ASAP

bottom line is im hoping either Cody Rhodes or Daniel Bryan pull off a upset and win money in the bank and build up for a few monthes until they make their huge cash in and win the world heavy weight title! another person id love to see win (although i know it wont happen) is justin gabriel but im not holding my breath for that

 

[JETER123]

I can't understand how most of you don't realize that Sheamus is absolutely gonna win this match. I mean it's not even a question. Sin Cara's gonna be inches away from winning, and Sheamus is gonna swoop in and win the match. Clearly, Sheamus has been involved in the World Heavyweight title feud, and it wouldn't even suprise me if he was taken out of this match and put in the title match.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Not sure how great this match is going to be. Sin Cara, Gabriel, Slater and Barrett have never competed in this type of match, not in the WWE at least. Kane has won this match, but has never been impressive in ladder matches. Sheamus is (sort of) in the same boat as Kane. However, Daniel Bryan and Cody Rhodes will almost certainly be worth watching, just the two of them.

I have no idea who is going to win this match. However, I know it won't be Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, Daniel Bryan or Kane. Wade Barrett and Sin Cara have a slight chance, but very small. That leaves, in my mind, Rhodes and Sheamus.

They're pushing Rhodes, no question. Remember, holding the briefcase doesn't mean he's going to be Champion anytime soon. He could hold that thing for an entire year. If he wins, I doubt he wins the strap soon.

Sheamus, on the other hand, could take the belt that same night. I can see Christian beating Orton, somehow, and then losing to Sheamus minutes later. How awesome would that be? I know a lot of people will cry about it, but imagine the story that would come from that scenario -- Christian, once again, has his dream shattered. I think it sounds great.

 

[James]

For some reason I see Cody Rhodes winning this because he has loads of heat on Smackdown. Also with the whole Daniel Bryan thing it looks like it will cross them both off and leaves Wade or Sheamus, BUT! Cody has Ted in his corner. So that means Ted will save the day. But why will he? Ted is gonna have a match either on the PPV or SD and Cody is going to get more angry than he did on SD. Thus Ted needs to defend himself. Rhodes wins and loses via Ted's stupidity. Ted goes face, gets buried by Cody in a feud. Cody heads to the main event full time.

 

[Mac Attack]

They certainly picked an interesting mix of characters to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match, with Kane and Cody Rhodes being the only ones with any experience in this type of match. I think I would have preferred to see Jinder Mahal and Big Zeke in this match instead of Gabriel and Slater, but at least this means there's a chance that Gabriel will hit the 450 Splash from the top of the ladder.

After last night's blow up, Sheamus looks like he wants to move up on the card. I get the feeling that we'll be seeing a triple threat for the World Heavyweight Championship and we'll see Sheamus replaced by Big Zeke. However, if Sheamus does not become part of the main event, I think he becomes the most likely candidate for winning the briefcase. Sheamus has been hungry for the gold for the past few months, and I don't think he cares how he wins the belt.

Cody Rhodes is still my pick for winning. Cody has a lot going on in his life right now between feuding with Daniel Bryan, mentoring Ted DiBiase, and saving the world from ugliness one paper bag at a time, and he's handling it all with the grace of a veteran WWE superstar. Why not throw the Money in the Bank is way and begin his official transition to the main event? You KNOW we're going to see Cody and Orton feud somewhere down the road, why not have it come after Cody steals a title win?

Wade Barrett is a name that's been thrown around lately, but I don't see why anyone expects him to win. He was made a fool out of by Big Zeke, and now even Kane is getting the better of the Englishman. Still, he has a much better chance of winning than anyone besides Sheamus and Cody.

The internet would explode should Daniel Bryan snag the briefcase, and lord knows he has the tools to make a feud with Randy Orton interesting... but this is not going to be DBD's year to win his first WWE World Title.

Sin Cara is in no way ready to feud for a world championship. He hasn't cut a promo yet, and while his matches have been very good, we still haven't seen his ability to put on an epic, world title caliber performance.

So that leaves the two members of Slabriel and Kane. Kane has become a Smackdown accessory, and since Teddy Long can't punish people by putting them in matches with The Undertaker, his baby brother is serving as a replacement. Slabriel is a fun little tag team, and how they made it into this match I have no idea. Both of them have just as good a chance of winning this match as AJ Lee or Tyson Kidd does... 0%.

JGlass you absolutely have the exact same thought process on this match as I do. This is absolutely strange and so not to rewrite what you have just written I am going to write the spot moments I am looking forawrd to.

I think we will most definetly see a 450 Splash from a ladder, because when you have Gabriel and you have the WWE this just makes sense. Secondly, I am looking forward to a Wade Barrett vs Slabriel interaction because they haven't finished that angle completely. I think Sin Cara could be the producer of a MAJOR botch in this live PPV ladder match. Considering this is his first WWE gimmick match I think we can look for him to make a few mistakes. I think Daniel Bryan is completely there to fill a spot and make us think that he can win but most definetly will be the person who recieves a Chokeslam. Kane will be there just to get hit bvy a ladder. I think the most likely thing we will see is Ted DiBiasi interfere in order to allow Cody Rhodes to pick up the victory. There you have it for spots.

 

[LegendKiller716]

I think Wade Barrett wins. It's his time to break out and Money in the bank will do alot for his solo career.

I don't think Sheamus needs it as I believe he'll be Orton's next challenger after Christian. He already is in the main event.

Cody Rhodes will NOT win it. I know a lot of people are high on him but I see DiBase costing him the match accidentally. They need some more tension between the two. I think they'll split sooner rather than later.

 

[mubzylicious]

I think.....*The Rock cue*....IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT I THINK....lol...
in all seriousness, I feel that Wade Barrett is the most logical winner here. He's basically out to prove that he can claw his way back to the World Title picture (where he deserves to be) without the Corre. Most people say that Cody Rhodes is gonna win, as much as i like Rhodes, its not his time yet. He hasn't even been in the Mid-card title scene. He hasn;t held any singles titles yet.

 

[MWRedskins]

alot of people have been breaking it down, so i will do it to make it more understandable.
Sin Cara i dont give him much of a chance, he is too green and if WWE pushes him that soon, i think it's a failure, i like his high risk moves, but his lighting for his matches annoys me, he's not ready yet.
Kane been there, seen that. he wont win it
Heath Slater he's not over and wont win this
Justin Gabriel he's in this for the spots, he isnt in the IC title hunt yet, like Slater isnt over.
Daniel Bryan Would be awesome seeing him win, but he wont in my book.
Sheamus he should NOT win this, but could win this. the point of the case is to make a new star and main event player and Sheamus is a main event guy.
Wade Barrett he is my pick on the winner. he lost the IC title and had a small sample of main events, then came to smackdown and was a high mid-carder, i see him winning it
Cody Rhodes This is who i want to win it. he is a young star and in my book could hold onto the case for a while then take the title, but i dont see him winning it.

 

[iwinulose]

Kane: he won last year, had a feud with the undertaker and edge, he is just in there cause the wwe like kane and dont want to leave him out completely so he is more in there to hurt some people and just for show, his chances of winning are low.

heath slater: i couldnt see him winning but im sure he will put on a good show.

justin gabriel: i dont see him winning either, but once again im sure he will put on a good show plus MITB ladder matchs are where high flyers do well, so im so i figure he is there more to put on a good show.

wade barret: i really wanna say he has no chance in hell of winning this, mainly cause hes a poor wrestler, but he has a decent shot of winning so you never know.

cody rhodes: unless he has ted dibase come into the ring and distract everyone cody has no chance. he really isnt a good wrestler, and i really am putting him on the bottom of the list other then kane.

daniel bryan: i dont think he will win, he has a shot, but unlikely he will win, but he will do great in the ladder match.

sin cara: this guy will do amazing in this ladder match!! he is a great high flyer and i can def see him going up top of a ladder and taking a huge leap off of it onto some below. his chances of winning are low, and very unlikely but he will put on an amazing performance.

sheamus: this guy is my choice as far as winning the ladder match is concerned. its been a year since he left the main event spotlight as a world champ and he is overdue to return to the top as the WHC. i think he will do great in the ladder match and i hope he wins it cause he really does deserve it.

 

[WWWYKI777]

Going down the list :

1.Justin Gabriel : Hes an amazing wrestler , definatley deserving of the MITB win. But I also highly doubt he will win it since hes only been in the company about a year.

2.Sheamus : Oh geez , of course hes deserving but hes 1,000% UN-NEEDING of MITB. Hes already 100% established credible main eventer badass who can handle any man on the roster , from beating Cena , to beating the fuck out of Khali , to whooping Orton & Christians ass on Smackdown this week. He does NOT NEED THIS. Absolutley foolish if they give him the win here.

3.Heath Slater : Good wrestler , good charisma , reminiscent of early Edge. Hated by many , despite being in the company only 1 year they could capitalize on peoples hate for him here by giving him the win and making him a top heel. However I highly doubt it because like I said , hes only been in WWE a year and they don't usually seem to give such honors to new guys.

4.Cody Rhodes : I have no freaking clue with this guy , he definately could take this........... hes a good wrestler , hes paid dues out the ass , and hes over. Hes a realistic frontrunner here.

5.Kane : For the love of GOD he better not win this. He didn't fucking NEED it the last time he won it , and he doesn't NEED it even more now that hes a 3x world champion.

6.Sin Cara : Great wrestler , but not a chance in hell. They have yet to give MITB to someone whos not much of a talker. Sin Cara doesn't talk AT ALL and has only been in the company a few months. Just no way.

7.Daniel Bryan : Great wrestler , maybe could win , I have no clue but it seems unlikely because hes not THAT good on the mic and not THAT over.

8.Wade "Possibly the 2nd coming of Jesus" Barrett : ABSOLUTLEY the front runner here. He is absolutely capable of holding a world title , and absolutley amazing on the mic. I hope to GOD he wins.

Order of likelihood to win IMO (#1 being most likely , 8 the least)

1.Wade Barrett
2.Cody Rhodes
3.Heath Slater
4.Daniel Bryan
5.Justin Gabriel.
6.Sheamus
7.Kane
8.Sin Cara

 

[mjdm]

Just a thought. But I really think Bryan will maybe be comparable to what benoit was at the 1st MITB match at WM XXI. If ppl recall, Benoit did a couple of cool spots in that match, it looked like he could have won. Then he got pushed off screaming in pain while Edge won afterwards. Just thinking maybe Bryan will come close, hopeing to gain more general fan support maybe?!

 

[Joepjr92]

Really excited for this one for some reason. Hands down, I gotta go with Wade. Barrett has lost way too much steam since his impressive run as Nexus' leader. In my opinion, he NEEDS this win. This can be the rejuvenation that his career needs. I was originally dead set on Cody but now seeing as their momentums are in opposite directions, I'd say the win is much more important for Wade as Cody will end up in the ME eventually.

Other thoughts on this match:

I personally cannot wait to see how bad Sin Cara fucks up in this match. Yeah, I'm sadistic like that.

Speaking of Cara, since he's in the match does that mean we'll have to watch the entire match with those pointless mood lights on!?

I'm also pumped to see Gabriel and Slater in the match, partially because I'm one of the very few Slater marks. I think WWE is giving them this opportunity to gauge how well they can do on their own for somewhere down the road. I hope they impress!

 

[DAFC_Punk_Can_Save_Us]

Kane - Won it last year but will just be a filler in the match this year, playing the role as power guy.

Heath Slater - What is he even doing in this match? Seriously?

Justin Gabriel - Again, no chance of him winning this but expect some high spots including a 450 splash from a ladder.

Cody Rhodes - One of my two prefered picks to win this. Rhodes has been absolutely gold on Smackdown since his demented gimmick and is a really excellent wrestler. Winning this could give his career the push it needs.

Wade Barrett - My second preferred pick. Barrett was excellent in his feud with Cena on Raw last year but has really stagnated on Smackdown this year. I think WWE would like to rekindle his push and I would love to see the first ever English WHC.

Sheamus - I suspect that Sheamus may be involved in the title match instead thus paving the way for Mark Henry to be involved in this match (please god no!). If Sheamus is involved in this match then I expect him to win the briefcase and succesfully cash it in on the same night. Would be a waste of a briefcase if so :ermm:

Sin Cara - Nowhere near a world title match yet, but will be absolutely magic in this match unless he botches a lot of his moves.

Daniel Bryan - I love DB but he needs to develope his character more before he moves into ME status. He should be really excellent in this match, and I can't wait to see it.

Who I want to win this: Barrett/Rhodes
Who I expect to win this: Sheamus

 

[DJZ888]

Sin Cara-Way too green, a quick push like this is not good. He will not win.

Heath Slater-Poor ginger, he doesn`t have a chance in hell.

Justin Gabriel-He`ll give us some good high spots but won`t win.

Sheamus-I could see it happening. He`s gonna be riding a lot of momentum coming in and has a chance but I don`t think it`s gonna happen.

Kane-He won last year and had an ok title run. He`s not gonna repeat though.

Daniel Bryan-I would love to see this happen although it won`t. Bryan will have to wait a while before he can be considered for the Main Event.

Wade Barrett-A big posibilty. He doesn`t have The Corre weighing him down anymore and is without the IC Title so it could happen. But that`s not who my pick is.

My Pick: Cody Rhodes

Cody has had one hell of a year so far. I love his gimmick, he`s got good mic skills and is pretty good in the ring. This win is what he needs to propel him into the Main Event. And when he wins, the feud with Orton is right there. He and DiBiase have got history with Orton and Cody could put on some good matches with Orton. I think Cody will take it.

 

[Cracka Jack]

Let's see...

Slater & Gabriel won't win. They're about as far off of a main-event push as possible. I think I can say Kane is out of the main-event for good, but last year proved that wrong. Of course, then he was involved in a big angle with 'Taker, so he can be ruled out now. And as much as I love Bryan, I can't see him winning.

Sheamus has a shot, but I'd say he's above the briefcase now. Barrett mentioned "bigger things" in a recent promo, and winning this match could definitely be that. Sin Cara's my dark horse choice here. WWE wants to push this guy like crazy, and he could easily get a shot at the title soon. I would expect him to lose though.

That leaves my pick, the obvious one, Cody Rhodes. Right now, he has everything needed for a main-event push - in-ring ability, mic skills, gimmick - except momentum. His feud with Bryan hasn't been getting much of a reaction, so he should probably win this and move on to someone else. One more hot feud should be enough to make him main-event material.

 

[TheChampionOfTheWorld]

To me there are 3 candidates to win the SmackDown Money in The Bank Match. Before I get started I will say that I view the match like I did the OLD King of the Ring Tournament. It is a way to push mid-card talent to main event level. With that being said I think there is one name that SHOULD NOT win this match and that is SHEAMUS. The reasoning... he just inserted himself into the World Heavyweight Championship mix by attacking Randy Orton and Christian during the contract signing last week on Smack Down. Plus he has scored a victory over Randy Orton recently. I just don't see a reason for Sheamus to need Money in the Bank.

With that being said the first candidate to win MITB is Wade Barrett, he is the former leader of Nexus and a former member of the Corre. Last summer he had his first taste of the main event by fueding with John Cena. He had a WWE Championship match with Randy Orton. I really think the WWE blew it big time with him last year, this is there chance to redeem Wade. Another reason I think it could be Wade is becaues of the timing of his Intercontinental Championship loss and then rematch clause. He appears to have moved on from the IC Title and is now moving on to bigger and better things.

The next candidate could be Daniel Bryan, although he seems like a rather unlikely winner I think he could be an experimental case. Usually the heel is the one to win Money in the Bank and then sneak in when the champion is at there weakest point and try and capture the championship. I think Bryan could be the face that wins and then sets up a championship at a date known to the Champion, similar to what RVD did with his MITB. I think Bryan is the most talented ring worker in the WWE right now, aside from CM Punk. Although he is not main event ready I think he could make the quickest transition.

My third and favorite choice is Cody Rhodes. I love his character and think it has a lot of potential. However, he really hasn't tasted any singles gold and would like to see that happen before I think he is World Champion. I almost view Cody like the Miz last year. If he wins he could have DiBiase follow him around carrying the brief case and doing his dirty work. I think if he were to win he would need to hold onto the case for a while as they build him up to Main Event level.

Sin Cara is the dark horse in this match. While is he very WWE green, he is Triple H's pet project. They just had him lose his first match and it was against a Main Eventer in Christian. I wouldn't be shocked if he won, but I think its very unlikely.

Kane is just a filler. He is in the middle of nothing right now. I think he has spent more time on Raw than Smackdown.

Gabriel and The Chick from Wendy's have no business being in this match, other than to help or screw Wade.

 

[xg311]

The only two people I could legitimately see winning the Money in the Bank match is Sheamus or Wade Barrett.

Sheamus is an obvious choice due to his proximity to the main event and his constant attacking of Christian and Orton. While I don't think Sheamus needs the briefcase at all to get back in the ME picture, if the brass decide to keep Christian in the title race a bit longer I could see Christian winning the belt at MitB only to have Sheamus cash in on him that night.

The best choice (like others have said) is Wade Barrett. No other wrestler in this match is in a position where they are just outside the main event and would be believable in it in the foreseeable future. Barrett was in ME title matches last summer and has dropped off since then (which I blame squarely on creative) and needs this to catapult him back into the title picture after toiling in the midcard the past months.

While this would add an even more top heavy slant on heels near the top of the card it's the right decision and the one I hope to see come next Sunday.

 

[ACL]

Personally, I genuinely think this'll be some sort of breakout for Gabriel. He has huge ability, they also talk alot about him in commentary and dont think they'd just add gabriel to fill slots, he is well liked and isn't really a heel..sort of an imbetweener..personally I reckon his charisma and personality could pull it off.

Slater has no chance spends 9/10's of his wrestling time on the floor, and the rest of his time he spends prancing round like an idiot. I reckon the alliance between these 2 will end here and thats slaters role..we saw on smackdown last night there was tension between these 2.

Kane - seat filler in my eyes.

Cara - Yeah hes been on form, but not enough of a character to be top end yet.

Sheamus - He has everything in his hands, a top end player. No need to win, won't win.

Daniel Bryan - Yeah he's okay. Puts out good performances but I don't think he has the charisma for the briefcase yet (nor ability)

Barrett - Has to be a favourite, went from the top all the way down to losing to zeke..he'd also pull off the 'suitcase personality' too.

Rhodes - Yeah hes been on form, yeah hes a midcard heel, but in my eyes he won't win hes been built up too highly and (I think) he'll win in a year or two. Its not Rhodes' time yet.

Order of chance to win.

Barrett
Gabriel
Rhodes
Bryan
Kane
Sheamus
Cara
Slater

 

[Starship Punk]

Who I want to win: Barrett or Rhodes

Who I think will win: Rhodes

I can see WWE doing something like Rhodes win the mitb briefcase and continues with the whole undashing thing while holding it awhile before cashing it in a perhaps his former mentor Randy Orton then on the next Smackdown all of a sudden Rhodes is "Dashing" once again with the world championship gold around his waist going into a fued with Orton.

 

[zachman123456]

Kane - Very unlikely. 7/45

Sin Cara - It could happen. WWE seems to be really high on him right now. But I dont really see it. 15/45

Heath Slater - no comment. 0.5/45

Cody Rhodes - Easily could win. He is on fire right now. His gimmick also kicks ass. 40/45

Justin Gabriel - He MIGHT win. 10/45

Wade Barret - My favorite to win this match. He has it all the mic skills, the ring skills. I like his odds. 35/45

Daniel Bryan - the technical wizard. He will do a good job in this match. I dont see him winning though. 25/45

Sheamus - I just dont know

Who I want to win: Wade Barret
Who I think will win: Cody Rhodes

 

[CJC087]

Im a new guy when it comes to posting so if I mess up give me a break

Barrett or Rhodes will be walking out as SD's MITB holder, I dont feel the 6 have more of chance (Maybe Sin Cara since he's Triple H's project) It would be nice to see Daniel Bryan walk out with the contract but Vince likes the bigger guys rather then the smaller guys, my pick to win is Wade Barrett (Not becase Im from England myself) But I feel he has the look, the mic skills and the abality to be a great WHC! Hopefully if he does win, he'll be able to have great fueds and a lenghy title run!

 

[TheCanadianBadassJB]

it comes down to 3

Sheamus: Probably Not, he doesn't need it. but he has been the most dominatley booked star in that match, wich could lead to something

Cody Rhodes: Loads of talent, great gimmick, and tons of momentum. 2 things wrong though. 1. he hasn't got the look of a world champ, and I just don't see him being a belivable world champ. 2. he's just not ready for the big time yet. he needs a lengthy I.C. title run before he has any chance of being world champion.

Wade Barret: My personal favourite to win. he's ready to work on his own now, and has already had main event experience putting on decent matches with Cena and Orton. he has the look, the mic skills, and the raw charisma it takes to be champ. all he needs is the magical MITB push and hes there

 

[crazymike0907]

I'm going to go with a little more of a twist here in my answer. I haven't read all of the responses, so forgive me if this has been stated before, but hear me out. First, i'll give out my chances of who would win if my guessed swerve doesn't happen..

Wade Barrett: Like stated before, Barrett claims he is moving onto bigger things soon. And I think that includes dropping Slater & Gabriel and moving into the World Title hunt. MITB could be a HUGE push for Barrett, and he in my opinion has the best chance of coming out on top

Sheamus: While he doesn't really need a MITB win here, that doesn't mean it will stop the WWE from giving it to him. It would make him that much more dominant on Smackdown, and give him even more credibility. While I don't think Sheamus will come out on top here, he certainly has one of the better chances.

Cody Rhodes: Has had one of the more interesting angles as of late on Smackdown, but I feel they will be doing more with him and Ted Dibiase. While he seems destined to become a big name on Smackdown, I don't think it's going to start with a MITB win.

Kane: Yeah, he won last year and had his run with the Title, but WWE always seems to have Kane go back and forth AND back AND forth from main event to mid card. So while a Kane win wouldn't exactly make much sense here, it's not far fetched from happening either.

I'm only going to explain my top 4, as Sin Cara, Daniel Bryan, Gabriel and Slater (in that order) don't have much of a chance in winning.

Now, here is my "suggested swerve" as i'm calling it (haha), for what could happen at the MITB PPV.

The PPV opens up with Randy Orton Vs. Christian for the Title in which Orton comes out on top by some other kind of conspiracy type of deal leaving Christian to feel he once again got screwed. then the MITB match happens and at some point in the match, all of the contestants are knocked out inside and out of the ring. then suddenly, Christian's music hits and he runs down to the ring, grabs the briefcase, then celebrates as his music plays again, leaving everyone confused. then on Smackdown, he reveals that in that new contract him and orton signed for their match, it was also stated that if Christian loses, he can insert himself into the MITB match. This would solidify Christian as an even bigger heel as he "wormed" his way into the MITB match, and he can taunt Orton as to when he will cash it in. Either that, or Christian just attacks Bryan or Slater during their entrance and takes their spot in the match.

I could see this happening with Christian, but in a way I doubt it's going to. If that's the case, then I see Wade Barrett being the one to walk out of this match the winner, with Sheamus a close second.

 

[Smartie]

Based on what has happened in last few weeks I'll go with this


1 - Sheamus : Even though I wouldn't go with him cuz he's been a champ and is credible enough to beat anyone in a regular match, I think if they want a fast cash-in which is usally the case with SD MITB winners, he is the likleiest choice.

2 - Wade Barret : He can elevate to main event status, and this briefcase is exactly what he needs. He is great on mic and if he is in a feud with someonle like Orton or Cena, he has proved that he can hang with them.

3 - Cody Rhodes : He's been the hottest young star in 2011, but I think there's still a lot of things that must happen before he win the big one.

4 - Kane: Former winners have a good shot at briefcase, but last year's reign was Vince's way of saying Thank you to him, plus the fact that Taker and Edge probably wanted a last feud with their old times friend, so that's why last year's regin happened. No reason or logic behind him winning it this year.

5 - Sin Cara - despite rumors heavily indicating that HHH is so high on this guy, I don't think MITB is the way to win it for a character like Sin Cara.

6 - Bryan - The dude can not be pictured in a PPV main event by my mind at all.

7&8 - Slater and Gabriel- Tag titles seemed to big for them.
