Money in the Bank is a prestige event that acts as an opening for wrestlers wanting to win gold and make it big in the WWE. The best example is The Rated R Superstar Edge. He won the inaugural MITB ladder match at WrestleMania 21 and the rest, as they say, is history. On 2nd July, at the O2 Arena in London, 6 men and 6 women will face off to determine who will win this opportunity of a lifetime.

The list for the men’s MITB ladder match includes LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, Butch, Santos Escobar, and Damian Priest. All these superstars with varied skills will fight till their last breath to get a hold of the suitcase suspended 20 feet above the ring. But fans already seem to have chosen their winner.
