10 Expectations Vs. Reality For WrestleMania 31

7. A Show-Stealing Ladder Match

Expectation: The Money In The Bank Ladder match was a welcomed WrestleMania tradition. The first MITB match at WrestleMania 21 set the bar high and for the next five years WWE superstars tried to reach those heights (literally) and steal the show in the process. This year sees the return of the multi-man ladder match. Although the participants aren't finalised and more are expected to be added in the coming weeks, it looks like Wade Barrett, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, Luke Harper, Daniel Bryan and Gold and Stardust are set to battle over the Intercontinental Championship on the big night. That's some serious talent in the ring and the presence of super-workers Bryan and Ziggler has given fans hope that they could produce something special. The Money in the Bank match has been missed at 'Mania since WWE decided to give it its own show. Ambrose, Barrett and co. have a real opportunity to go all-out and steal the show from the 'big stars' on March 29th.
Reality: It will be a good match, sure, but it won't be the show-stealer that many are predicting. If there are eight guys in the match then that is two too many. When there are more than six guys in there it does have a tendency to break down a little bit.
