10 WWE Superstars Who Should Be In Money In The Bank (But Aren't)

Corey Graves has been swooning over this blonde bombshell since her debut on SmackDown’s roster. Originally locked into a supporting role within Paige’s Absolution group, Rose has already started to carve out her own niche on the blue brand. She’s a superstar with great promise that will surely be fulfilled in time. As the so-called Golden Goddess continues to improve her abilities in the ring, opportunities will seemingly be thrown her way.

But an opportunity to walk away with the Money in the Bank briefcase would have skyrocketed Rose to the upper echelon of WWE’s women’s division. Unfortunately, she was unable to best the fiery Becky Lynch in her qualifying opportunity -- as was her former Absolution cohort, Sonya Deville.

Further, some viewers and critics could argue that at only 26 years of age, there’s plenty of time for Rose to climb the ladder to success within the women’s division. However, a coveted Money in the Bank opportunity would have quickly allowed all to see whether this young upstart can truly rise to the occasion, or if it’s just not yet her time. Until then, fans will have to listen to Corey Graves continue to trumpet her value and hope for another opportunity next year.
