10 Radical Ideas To Save WWE Money In The Bank

Of course, just because it’s always been a man holding the briefcase doesn’t mean it always has to be…
With the new women’s division gradually gaining importance, the brand split can be an excellent opportunity to improve the number of women getting ongoing storylines, instead of hanging around backstage waiting for their turn to get TV time to feud with someone.
One of the next things that needs to happen to bring more credibility to the women’s division is their inclusion in the same gimmicks and stipulations that the men have been able to work with for decades. We’ve already had the iron man match: give them a steel cage. Give them a street fight. Give them a last man standing bout.
Give them the Money In The Bank ladder match.
And no, don’t just create a whole new one for the women at next year’s Money In The Bank event while keeping one for the men. Put your money where your mouth is, WWE. Rest the male Money In The Bank gimmick for a year, and just give the women’s division their very own ladder match and briefcase.
Talent like Becky Lynch, Paige, Emma, Sasha Banks, the soon-to-debut Bayley - even main roster veterans like Nikki Bella, Naomi and Natalya, and up-and-comers like Nia Jax, Dana Brooke and Alexa Bliss - these women can handle it and more, much more. Watch them rise to the challenge.
