6 Ways WWE Can Book Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match

4. An Overdue Win For Natalya

Natalya has been with WWE since 2007, but she has rarely felt like a big deal. A certified workhorse, she’s one of the most technically adept wrestlers on the roster, and someone who usually delivers in a big spot. Despite this, Nattie has been used primarily as a gatekeeper throughout her career, and her sole title reign came to an end more than six years ago.

Money In The Bank could be the perfect moment to reward her loyalty with a big win. Though Natalya has flirted with contention throughout her time on SmackDown, she has rarely came close to winning the belt. Claiming the MITB briefcase would change all that, and immediately elevate her to the division’s upper echelon.

Assuming she loses tonight’s contendership match, Natalya will walk into MITB with as good a chance of victory as anybody else. Her teammates Tamina and Carmella are several steps behind her in the ring, and it’s likely that WWE will go with a heel briefcase holder if Noami retains the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the PPV. Nattie should therefore be considered a favourite, and few would complain if she won.
