WWE's Money In The Bank match-card gives us high expectations!

So we are less than three weeks away from the MITB ppv, which is considered one of the biggest ppv's in the modern era only behind Wrestlemania and Summerslam, but up there in the same range as Royal Rumble and Survivor Series. The event has produced plenty of epic matches and shockers after its debut in 2010. The historic match between John Cena and Cm Pun will never be forgotten, and Daniel Bryan's first MITB win the same year was also a part of the unforgettable history of this PPV. But this years MITB seams to top it all when you look at the match card presented so far. I will give you an analyze of all the confirmed matches, and I will also predict who I think will win each match.


1) World Heavyweight Title (ladder-match)
Participants: Dean Ambrose, Damion Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Fandango, Antonio Cesaro, Jack Swagger and Wade Barrett.

Analyze: 
This match contains rising superstars, but a lot of the participants have been struggling with "directionless" story-lines or non feuds at all. Stars like Barrett, Rhodes, Sandow and Cesaro have lost most of their televised matches the last year. Though Cesaro and Sandow has been given a better push lately securing themselves some victories on Raw or Smackdown. Other stars such as Fandango and Swagger has recently been involved in some great storylines, which gives them a sort of "favorite" marking before heading in to the ppv. Ambrose is a part of The Shield, and if they come out to help him, he should have the odds on his side to.

But the good thing about this match is the fact that we now know one of these rising stars will be given a title-shot for the WHC-title, which is the second biggest title within WWE. The winner of this match will almost certainly secure himself the WHC-title before this ppv airs again in 2014. This is great news for us fans that feels the title-pictures lacks fresh faces. The winner of this match will automatically be inserted in the main-event scene at one point within the next twelve months, and he will be given a great push.

The match itself will probably steal the show. You have great performers that will go all-in in this match, so that they can prove to those in the back that they should be in the main-event scene. A combination of technical wrestlers and powerhouses will make this match look so good. Even though their reputations are not as big as those that will participate in the WWE-ladder match, you can expect this match to end up being "unforgettable".

Prediction:
Personally I love the fact that WWE is finally giving one of these "younger" stars an opportunity to shine in a big-match like this. The winner will be in the main-event picture for the WHC-title at one point within the next year, which is great news! Even though Dean Ambrose most likely are the odds favorite to win this match, considering that his teammates might make an interference, I personally think that Fandango will steal this one. He is a rising star with a growing popularity, and people in the back believes that he can become a huge star in the future. A win for Fandango in this match will prove to us that WWE believes in him.

Winner:
Fandango


2) Chris Jericho vs Ryback (Non-title match)
Analyze:
This match includes two stars that seams to be stuck in the "upper mid-card" for a while. Ryback comes out as the loser after his great feud with Cena. He needs to start regaining some momentum and build some credibility. Chris Jericho is his perfect opponent to help him on his way to redemption. Jericho only has some matches left before he goes on another tour with his band "Fozzy". This means that he gains nothing from this match, other than putting on a great match with a rising star in Ryback.

Prediction:
I think that Jericho will put over one last rising star before he leaves WWE for the rest of the year, moving on to his tour with his band "Fozzy". Ryback has yet to win a big one, and I think that this will be his first "big-win" on a PPV. Ryback has already proved to us that he can deliver great matches, and I think that he and Jericho will deliver a solid match with some great spots in it. This is another match that has the potential to be remembered for a while, if they are given enough time in the spotlight.

Winner:
Ryback


3) The Shield vs The Uso's
Analyze:
The last month the Uso's has been given a great push in the tag-team scene. Clearly WWE needs a face tag-team that can replace "Team Hell No" as the top face tag-team in WWE. The Uso's are fan favorites, and lately they have proven that they deserve to be in the spotlight. The Shield needed to move on to a new feud. The Uso's has been build as a serious treat before this showdown.

Prediction:
This match is very unpredictable if you ask me. The outcome of this match all depends on how Dean Ambrose will do it in his ladder-match. If Ambrose wins the match, The Shield can afford to lose their tag-team titles to a rising team like the Uso's without losing much credibility. But if Ambrose fails to win the ladder-match, The Shield needs can not afford to lose their titles. Personally I do not think that Ambrose will win the ladder-match, so therefore I think that Reigns and Rollins will find a way to hold on to their titles. But I expect this tag-team feud to last for a while, and eventually I think that The Uso's will win the titles. But in this one I have to bet my money on The Shield.

Winner:
The Shield (Reigns and Rollins)


4) World Heavy Weight Title match
Participants: Alberto Del Rio (C) vs Dolph Ziggler

Analyze:
Even though these two has been going at it since February, the recent double turn has managed to make this feud feel fresh and exciting again. Ziggler has been shining as a face these past couple of weeks, but WWE almost made the mistake of including Chris Jericho in this feud. Thankfully they switched the idea in the last second on raw, by putting Jericho in a feud with Ryback. Because a possible Jericho involvement in this fresh feud could have had an bad affect on Ziggler's progress as a face. Ziggler would most likely have been received with mixed reactions again if he where to lock horns with Jericho who is one of the superstars that is most over within the WWE-universe. Thankfully WWE switched their opinion in the last second, giving Ziggler the opportunity to shine as the only face in his feud with Del Rio. Del Rio is better of as a heel. He is a natural heel just like Bob Backlund and Randy Orton are. Del Rio is the best man to help putting Ziggler over with the crowd, considering that he the type of guy fans love to hate.

Prediction:
I expect this match to outmatch the epic bout these two put on at Payback. If WWE truly wants to invest money in Ziggler, the should give him the title right away. If this is the case, we will see a rubber-match between the two at Summerslam. But I have this odd feeling that WWE will wait until Summerslam by putting the title on Ziggler again. Personally I thin he should get it right away, so that he can face Del Rio at Summerslam and then move on to another challenger. But I thin Del Rio will find a way to retain his title in this match, so I will have to go with him on this one. But I also think that Ziggler will get the title back again, so therefore I think he will win this match by count out or DQ.

Winner:
Dolph Ziggler by DQ or Count Out (Del Rio retains the title then)


5) WWE title (Ladder match)
Participants: Rob Van Dam, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Randy Orton, Cm Punk, Sheamus and Christian.

Analyze:
This is without a doubt the most anticipated match of the night. All the top faces are in this match (minus John Cena). But the reason this one is so anticipated is mainly because of the return of Rob Van Dam in front of his "homecrowd" the hardcore Philly-fans. Philly-fans was made famous because of their amazing chanting on the former Paul Heyman show ECW. The top star in ECW was non other than Rob Van Dam. When his theme song hits at MITB, the fans will go nuts. This is the most star-packed ladder-match in the history of WWE. Top stars such as Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus and Cm Punk will compete against each other in something that will end up becoming an instant classic.

Prediction:
This match could take so many turns. In theory RVD is the odds on favorite. He returns after a long absence from the WWE, and his return will be in his "hometown" in front of his biggest fans. Though I do think that this match will include some twists and turns that will affect who wins this one. WWE will go all in with this match, so expect the finish of this one to be epic. I think both Brock Lesnar and The Shield will be involved in this match, which will end up with them taking out some of the top stars such as Cm Punk and Christian.

But if I have to guess, I will have to guess that Daniel Bryan comes out victorious in this one. But that will only happen if someone attacks/takes out RVD (Van Dam) from the spotlight. RVD can then move on to feud with the one who takes him out of the match. If this happens I think Bryan comes out of this match with the win, so that he can move on to challenge John Cena for the WWE-title. But if no one ends up interfering and taking out RVD, there is no doubt in my mind that he will win the briefcase, only to cash it in soon after.

Winner:
RVD or Daniel Bryan


6) WWE Title Match
Participants: John Cena (C) vs Mark Henry

Analyze:
This feud started with a bang. Mark Henry faked a retirement speech, and then took out Cena when he let his guard down. The start of this feud was amazing. Both men are great talkers, and great powerhouse. This will be a battle of the current giants within WWEl

Prediction:
I think that this will end with an upset. If no other matches deliver some upset, this one will. I thin Henry will take the title from Cena, not in a clean way, but somehow. He will hold on to it for less then a week. The winner of the WWE-ladder match will cash it in on Henry before Summerslam. This match has great potentials. Both men have amazing strength, but they are also good at garnishing reactions from the crowd. The Philly crowd is one of the best in the world when it comes to that.

Personally I think Henry will win an upset in this one, only to lose the title rather quickly.

Winner:
Mark Henry (Not a clean win)


Conclusion
Overall I think that this show will be remembered for a long time. The match-card looks so good, and we know that most of the performers in this match can deliver amazing matches. I also think that we will see some great upsets and some shocking spots during this ppv. I also think that this ppv will top the Payback ppv, and that it will include some defining moments such as some big upsets or some fantastical spots.
