10 WWE Superstars Who Would Benefit From A Raw Money In The Bank Match

In the 14 months since he made his main roster debut, Apollo Crews has had more rough times than good ones. His tenure on SmackDown saw him only make TV on sporadic occasions, and since moving to Raw, he's been involved in a heel-turn-tease storyline with Titus O'Neil. Though fans of his independent career had high hopes for him upon his NXT debut, it's clear that WWE hasn't known what to do with him.

A Money in the Bank match could be a springboard into a push for Crews, even if he didn't win. Crews is uniquely talented in that he mixes high-risk offense with great strength, and the sight of him hitting a shooting star press off a ladder moments after suplexing both of The Hardy Boyz would make fans take notice of his skill.

One could argue that other stars who were set up in the MITB "highlight reel" role but never won - like Shelton Benjamin and Matt Sydal - didn't benefit from it in the long run, but it would certain help propel Crews past what he's doing now.
