If Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho, and Alberto Del Rio can't win the Money in the Bank match, and if Dean Ambrose probably won't win it, that leaves one option: Kevin Owens. While it can be hard to pick a winner in a six-man bout (especially with WWE's propensity to swerve fans for no reason) "The Prizefighter" seems like the likely victor.

The Money in the Bank gimmick is tailor-made for men like Kevin Owens - heels who can talk. Like Edge, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, and Seth Rollins before him, he'll be able to spend months with the briefcase, reminding everyone that as soon as he decides it's time, he'll be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Like Ziggler and Rollins, odds are Owens will have several failed cash-in attempts prior to actually using his contract - times when he runs down with the briefcase but is fended off by Roman Reigns. It won't do him any good, but that's how WWE likes to book.

Still, the day will eventually come when Owens will cash in the briefcase and win the WWE World Heavyweight Title, so that's something worth anticipating.
