YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
As of last night, 5 of the 7 participants in this year's WWE World Heavyweight Championship MITB ladder match have been named and the list consists of Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens. In what may have been one of the bigger surprises, AJ Styles isn't in the MITB ladder match but cleanly lost the qualifying match last night against Kevin Owens.
Looking at the list so far, I think Kevin Owens is probably the favorite to walk out with the briefcase. Sami Zayn is a possibility, a strong one at that, but I just don't see it happening. It'd be cool for Cesaro to win, but I think we're ultimately getting the consolation prize of seeing him eventually take the Intercontinental Championship from Miz given that he defeated Miz in a qualifying match last night. Jericho's a part timer who won't be anywhere near the title and Ambrose is a strong babyface contender, but I just have a feeling that he'll come up short here.
Of course, there are still two other guys to be named so whoever they are, there's always the possibility of them completely upsetting things. Still, I think Owens is the overall favorite, at least for now.
