7. Tipping Off MITB Results?

Maybe this is nothing, but the preview for next week’s Raw should not be potentially giving away the results from Sunday’s PPV. Nonetheless, that appears to be the case.

During Raw, a plug popped up advertising Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch appearing next week to confront the Money in the Bank ladder match winner.

But… the winner of the MITB match can only cash in their briefcase on the champion on their respective brand. A SmackDown superstar can’t cash in on the Raw champ, and vice-versa. So if this bumper is to be believed, it means a Raw superstar is winning the women’s MITB briefcase.

Given the lineup for the match, as spoilers go, this really isn’t saying much. (It’s not like someone is picking Dana Brooke or Carmella to win on Sunday.) But still, this just felt a little preemptive.
