7 Early Contenders For WWE Money In The Bank 2016 Briefcase
6. Cesaro
Easily the WWE Universe's favorite catch-as-catch-can grappler, Cesaro's rise to excellence has been perpetually stymied by creative, yet the fanbase is so enamored with the quality of Cesaro's performances that they continue to support him. The idea of Cesaro nearly winning the Royal Rumble and then maybe coming very close in a WWE Championship match on Raw prior to Wrestlemania could energize his push. Then, he could once again win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, but the night afterwards say that there's a bigger gold trophy that he wants, and that's the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Money In The Bank rolls around in June, and Cesaro throws his hat into the ring. If/when he'd win, imagine the pop surrounding a Cesaro cash-in. The roof would come unglued on any building anywhere in the world.
