5 Best Case Scenario WWE Money In The Bank 2021 Winners (And 5 Worst)
3. Best - Naomi
For better and worse, Money In The Bank is a free hit.
The original lustre and prestige of the gimmick has been long abandoned, lost to lousy cash-ins and holders going on months-long losing streak, but the buzz around somebody getting strapped still holds true.
The Miz - the blessed and sometime blessed Miz - cashed in to the sound of absolutely nobody in 2021, but news of it at least created a ripple of discourse in its aftermath. The stipulation isn't dead, it just doesn't particularly feel alive.
Nor, criminally, does Naomi's career. Naomi and that gold-plated opportunity have never felt like closer bedfellows. The latest to try in vain to form a credible team with Lana, the former Women's Champion looks all at sea just months after a return that audiences assumed WWE couldn't possibly ruin.
They've have, and it's really f*cking sh*t that they have, but there's not a single male or female on this roster that could thrive from one giant CTRL+Z more. WWE need crowds back to enliven their stoic episodes - why not give them some glow to feel at the same time?
