7 Losses That Need To Happen At WWE Money In The Bank
Not everyone can be a winner.
The 2015 edition of WWE Money in the Bank is days away and fans have begun predicting winners for each contest. Some picks seem more obvious than others. Being predictable isn't always a bad thing as long as there is a good story to tell.
Outside of the contract ladder match, the major stories leading into this event involve the WWE Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship. Seth Rollins holds the top prize in the company but doesn't have the physical title in his possession. John Cena is looking to finally get a win against the WWE newbie Kevin Owens with his title on the line. Both champs want to walk away from the event with their titles still in their rightful possession but they could end up as losers.
In this article every match will by analysed to figure out who should be the loser in each match on the card. Some finishes seem like safe calls like in the Intercontinental Championship match. Other matches might not be so straightforward. WWE doesn't always follow the logic in this author's head but that doesn't mean they're wrong if they don't.
The following 7 losses are what need to happen at Money in the bank, contrasted with what losses might be more likely...
7. R-Truth vs. King Barrett (Pre-Show)
The recent King of the Ring winner faces off against R-Truth at Money in the Bank. R-Truth confusedly thought he was in the upcoming Money in the Bank ladder match on this past week's Raw. Instead, he'll be competing in the pre-show against the man that he eliminated first from last month's Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber match.
Who Needs To Lose: R-Truth
He's long accepted his spot on the card. Live crowds respond well to him and he mixes well with most wrestlers but he has no need to win here. After being the wrestler to eliminate Wade in the IC Elimination Chamber match, he owes him the win.
Who Will Likely Lose: R-Truth
Wade Barrett loses a lot, especially after he receives some sort of accolade. His recent King of the Ring victory could easily have been a springboard up the card. Instead, his win-loss record has been less than stellar. This win won't do any wonders for his career but at least it's something.
