10 HUGE WWE Money In The Bank 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

4. Back Up The Ladder

Since going through the motions with Brock Lesnar (again) as the most exciting competitor in a Triple Threat Universal Title match also featuring Kane at the Royal Rumble, Braun Strowman's been strategically kept away from any kind of singles title chase.

The plan on the surface seems thus - everybody that gets within sniffing distance of Lesnar comes away with a bloody nose. Or gushing head, in Roman Reigns' case. 'The Big Dog' was nailed on to beat 'The Beast' at WrestleMania and Greatest Royal Rumble and failed both times without clear rationale for keeping Raw's top title on an island away from the Monday Night rank-and-file.

Strowman remains the only performer on the roster not a complete f*cking loser, and the only one outside of Seth Rollins that continues to get strong reactions from the crowd in spite of booking that hasn't always played to his many, many strengths. Those strengths - as exhibited with some vigour on the go-home show - mainly involve throwing performers and props alike all over the shop. He's got absolutely loads of both on Sunday, and should lift a ladder full of lads out to the floor before pulling down both the briefcase and supporting chain from the third rung with the greatest of ease.
