Top 3 Superstars to win The Smackdown Money In The Bank


The Money In The Bank pay-per-view is one of the most entertaining ppvs of the year, And part of the reason why is because of the MITB ladder matches which are entertaining and unpredictable. In 2010, Kane won the SD MITB and later on cashed it on Rey Mysterio. In 2011, Daniel Bryan won and cashed it on Big Show. In 2012, Dolph Ziggler won It. Each year the MITB matches has babyfaces, Heels but this year The Raw MITB has all the babyfaces and Smackdown MITB has all the heels. I will give you my top 3 picks to win this years Smackdown Money In The Bank.



#1: Wade Barrett

Now When It comes to Who is prepared to be a World Champion, It's Wade Barrett. At the end of 2011, Wade Barrett was getting a push when He was getting victories over many superstars like Randy Orton and His Barrett Barrage was hard to stop. But a Injury in a Battle Royal in early 2012 caused Barrett to miss most of the action and He missed WrestleMania 28. If Barrett wouldn't have been Injured, I think He would be a World Champion right now. 

Barrett lost the Intercontinental Champion to The Miz at WrestleMania 29 and then won It back the next night. Ever since then The Intercontinental Champion has been a curse to him. He has been losing every single week. He has lost the IC Champion now and All he needs is Money In The Bank briefcase now. Wade Barrett is my 1st pick to win the Smackdown MITB Ladder match.





#2: Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes was one of the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in the last decade. In his reign, He defeated the likes of Sheamus, Booker T, etc. His reign was absolutely amazing, He held It for around 230 days. He then dropped the title to Big Show at WrestleMania 28. He has been with Damien Sandow for the last 5-6 months now and They're really entertaining, but Let's face It, It has been pointless, They never won the tag titles. 


I thought Cody Rhodes would challenge for the World Heavyweight Champion because He has all the tools to be a main event superstar. These past weeks, WWE has been hinting of a Cody Rhodes face turn. A Face turn can be what Rhodes needs and I hope It happens.
 Cody Rhodes was part of the Smackdown Money In The Bank in 2011, and 2012 as well. He has always been close to winning It but never won It. Could this be the year that He finally wins the MITB briefcase? He is one of my picks to win It. 




#3: Fandango

Fandango beat Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29 and then the next night on Raw, He was so over with the New Jersey crowd. He became one of the hottest superstars at that time, His entrance music was everywhere. He was set to become the New Intercontinental Champion at last months WWE Payback PPV But an unfortunate Injury caused him out of the match. If that Injury wouldn't have happend, I'm 100% sure that Fandango would be the Intercontinental Champion right now. 


Fandango made his return to Raw one week ago losing by count-out to Sheamus. Now Let's be honest, Fandango isn't ready to be a World Champion. But It was reported few weeks back that Fandango is Vince McMahon's new Pet project. Could Fandango win the Smackdown MITB briefcase? I think so, Don't rule him out. Vince loves him. I do think He should win a mid-card title first, Instead of just being jumped right Into World Title picture but I wouldn't be surprised If He actually wins It. 


These are my top 3 picks to win the Smackdown MITB ladder match. My personal favorite to win It is Wade Barrett because He really needs It. I wouldn't mind if Cody Rhodes wins It either. I don't think Jack Swagger will win, He should rather be punished for his actions. Damien Sandow could also win, He is really entertaining on the mic. Antonio Cesaro seems unlikely to me but I do think being with Zeb Colter could help him. Dean Ambrose doesn't need to win It, It's just that simple. This match is really unpredictable and I'm really excited for It.
