‘Money in the Bank’ airs tonight
WWE presents one of its more popular shows, Money in the Bank (MitB), tonight on the WWE Network.
One of the bigger matches is AJ Styles defending the WWE championship against Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man standing match. Either the title has to change hands or WWE needs to move away from this feud and find Styles a new challenger.
The male MitB ladder match will feature The Miz, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Rusev, Bobby Roode, Kevin Owens and a member of The New Day.
The women蘑菇视频 MitB ladder match consists of Ember Moon, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Naomi, Lana and Sasha Banks.
As history has shown, the individuals who win the MitB matches and secure the briefcase guaranteeing a title shot over the next year cash in and win more times than not.
Ronda Rousey is challenging Nia Jax for the Raw women蘑菇视频 title, and while it is way too early for Rousey to win the belt, it would not surprise me.
Asuka challenges Carmella for the Smackdown women蘑菇视频 title and this title is much more likely to change hands.
Could James Ellsworth return tonight and help Carmella? I don鈥檛 see both women蘑菇视频 titles changing hands, but it isn鈥檛 totally out of the realm.
Other title matches include Seth Rollins defending the Intercontinental title against Elias and The Bludgeon Brothers defend the Smackdown tag team titles against Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
Other singles matches include Daniel Bryan against Big Cass, Bobby Lashley against Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns against Jinder Mahal.
Could one of the winners cash in tonight and walk out with one of the women蘑菇视频 titles?
It would be a way for Rousey to not win the title while not being defeated, and Natalya would be a solid choice.
And how better for Styles, or Nakamura, to lose the WWE championship than by having it happen right after winning a grueling Last Man Standing match?
We will find out the answers to these questions, and more, tonight.
WWE 2K19 cover to be released Monday
WWE蘑菇视频 latest venture into the video game world, WWE 2K19, will debut later this year, and the cover will be officially introduced Monday.
Look for Styles or Rousey to be on the cover.

Smackdown蘑菇视频 20th anniversary show to be big
When WWE airs the 20th anniversary show of Smackdown next year, look for it to be a massive show just like the 25th anniversary show of Raw was back in January.
