The wrestling world is having a busy few weeks because, no matter which federation you follow, all of them are offering great shows and putting good fights on the table. This weekend it’s WWE’s turn to be the protagonist, because on Saturday July 1st at 21:00, from London, we will be able to see one of the biggest ppv of the year of Vince McMahon’s company. The one known as Money in the Bank.
Money In The Bank is a ppv where, in addition to regular bouts, there are two bouts with special stipulations: the Money in the Bank. Ladder matches, without disqualification, for five to seven people, where the winner is the one who manages to reach and unhook a briefcase hanging from the ceiling. With its origin in 2010, where the wrestler The Miz managed to overcome names of the stature of Chris Jericho, Edge or Randy Orton, it would not be until 2017 where they would make the first female Money in the Bank, where Carmela would win. If it is a highly anticipated match, it is because the owner of the briefcase can exchange it for a title match for any belt in the company at any time, practically ensuring that the winner of Money in the Bank will be the next world or heavyweight champion. For only twice in twelve years has a wrestler failed in the exchange.
This year, moreover, the stakes are particularly high because of what is happening behind the scenes. While there is a clear favorite in the women’s Money in the Bank, with Iyo Sky aiming to challenge current WWE Women’s Champion Asuka, there are two favorites in the men’s event. Both of them quite controversial.
The top favorite is a man known even to those unfamiliar with wrestling, since he is the Youtuber Logan Paul. With a brief career, but full of successes in WWE, he is the favorite to win the briefcase according to the bookmakers, as well as being the one who has been systematically pushing himself in all directions to win it. The favorite of the public, and it seems that the current head of WWE, Triple H, is LA Knight, a man of great charisma who has known how to connect with the public in a unique way. As the distant third probable winner in Shinsuke Nakamura, it all seems to be between Logan Paul and LA Knight; the favorite of the management and the marketing department and the favorite of the public.
But also, Money in the Bank promises a surprise return. Because everything indicates that, after a few weeks without appearing on television, Brock Lesnar will appear on the ppv. With no bout scheduled, it is clear that he will appear to confront Cody Rhodes and end their rivalry at Summerslam, ppv scheduled for August 5, with a third and final bout with a special stipulation. Will he attack you during or after combat? And what will that special stipulation be? Fortunately, there is a little more than twenty-four hours left for us to know. Because this summer, if you’re a fan of wrestling, you’re going to eat well.
