12 HUGE WWE Money In The Bank 2019 Predictions You Need To Know

10. Tony Nese Vs. Ariya Daivari

As of writing, this hasn't yet been shunted to the pre-show on the wrong side of the Daniel Bryan/Rowan/Usos tag team battle, breaking the regular 205 Live routine of being marooned on the pre-show come pay-per-view time. But working on the assumption that the purple title does make the main card for a change, expect Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari to be forced to try and top the big-bumping exploits of the women's division by following a hot opener with the type of match normally performed in front of disinterested crowds contemplating whether or not to beat the traffic.

Nese defeated Buddy Murphy on a WrestleMania curtain raiser that brought the curtain down on 'The Best Kept Secret's outstanding reign, defined more by wall-to-wall classics that the weekly churn he oversaw. Nese must do the same, but bringing his different qualities to the monthly stage will be undone if he can't amass some quantity too.

Daivari is excellent, but like most Cruiserweight challengers in this environment, he should only try and concentrate as getting as much sh*t in before he's left examining the lights.

Winner - Tony Nese
