Top 3 Superstars to win the Raw Money In The Bank


In this blog, I'm going to give you my top 3 picks to win the 2013 Raw Money In The Bank briefcase. The Money In The Bank is one of the most exciting pay-per-view of the year and the SD-RAW MITB matches are one of the reasons why because of It's unpredictability. The past Raw MITB winners has been The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, John Cena last year Who became the first superstar to cash-in and lose. There are seven superstars in the RAW MITB and they are Sheamus, Christian, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Kane and The returning Rob Van Dam. The RAW MITB has all the babyfaces in It which is quite different but I think It's cool. Now I will give you my top 3 to win the MITB briefcase and Why they should win or needs to win.






#1: Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan shocked everybody when He won the Smackdown MITB in 2011. Well at least He shocked me because I was totally not expecting him to win the MITB. But that's where his journey began, He cashed his MITB on Big Show after Big Show beat Mark Henry at TLC 2011 and became the New World Heavyweight Champion. He had a good reign which lasted till WrestleMania where He lost the World Heavyweight Champion to Sheamus in 18 seconds. Now, That 18 second loss got him over huge. Those YES chants really begun at WrestleMania 28 in Miami. And now two years later, Daniel Bryan might once again win the MITB but this time the Raw MITB contract for the WWE Champion. 


Daniel Bryan is Incredibly over with the crowd, Every week on Raw and Smackdown the Yes! chants are Increasing. He is the hottest thing in wrestling at the moment. Few weeks back, It was reported that Daniel Bryan vs John Cena for the WWE Champion might happen at the MITB pay-per-view but It seems like WWE has changed their mind and Bryan might win the MITB and then feud with Cena for the WWE Champion. Bryan doesn't really need to win the MITB to become a #1 contender for the WWE Champion but this "weak link" thing going on these past weeks, The MITB win could really be that Big win Bryan needs. Imagine, How the philly crowd will react when Bryan wins the MITB. 


Winning the RAW MITB would be the beginning of Daniel Bryan's journey to the WWE Champion. Daniel Bryan could win the RAW MITB and then announce that he is cashing in against John Cena at the SummerSlam pay-per-view. I don't know If WWE will turn Bryan heel for the feud vs Cena. As dumb as It would be to turn the most over guy on the roster, I think It will happen. Daniel Bryan is my #1 pick to win the RAW MITB this year. 








#2: Rob Van Dam

Few weeks back at WWE Payback, WWE announced that RVD will be returning at the Money In The Bank PPV. Ever since then, WWE has been airing his returning video packages at every show and the fans love It. Two weeks ago, WWE announced what His role would be at the PPV. He will be one of the seven competitors in the Raw MITB. 


RVD was on TNA earlier this year, In his latest Interview, It seems like He didn't like How he was used in TNA. He said that WWE's one video package of 40 seconds has created more promotion than TNA did in the last 3 years. Rob basically didn't like that He was barely promoted in TNA. 


RVD winning the RAW MITB in Philly and then starting a feud with Cena would also be good. There would be a lot of buzz If the returning RVD wins the MITB and then have a match against John Cena at SummerSlam. RVD's video packages has gotten a lot of cheers by the crowd every week and It seems like He will be returning as a babyface. There may not be a lot of reasons as to Why RVD should win the MITB, Just like Bryan, he has already won It before but I could see WWE having him win the briefcase and challenge for the WWE Champion.






#3: Randy Orton 

Randy Orton has not had gold around his waist since nearly two years. He lost his World Heavyweight Champion to Mark Henry at Night of Champions 2011 and ever since then He has not been the champion. Randy Orton has been feuding with Daniel Bryan for the last couple of weeks and has also tapped out to Daniel Bryan on Raw 2 weeks back. Orton has been featured heavily in the past few weeks with being with Team Hell No to feuding with Bryan. 


Everyone has been hoping for Randy Orton to turn heel and this MITB cash-in could be How he can turn heel. Now, there are a lot of other ways to turn him heel but winning the Money In The Bank and cashing in could be one simple way to just turn him heel. Orton has won the Rumble before, Won World Titles many times but has never won a MITB briefcase so this win could be a good achievement in his career. Orton doesn't have a lot of chances to win the MITB but compared to others (Kane, Sheamus, Punk, Christian) He has more chances to win it which is why He is on my top 3. 




These are the top 3 superstars that I think has the most chances to win the RAW MITB this year. I may not have given enough reasons as to why each should win It but I'm sure one of these three will win It. The Raw MITB ladder matches last year were pretty predictable, Almost everyone knew that John Cena would win the RAW MITB and Dolph Ziggler for the Smackdown MITB. One thing we can all agree on is this years RAW MITB will be much better than last year because of It's star power with superstars like RVD, Punk, Orton, Bryan, etc. 



Hope you enjoyed this blog, The Money In The Bank pay-per-view is on July 14th. 8 matches for the ppv has been announced so far.
