7 Early Contenders For WWE Money In The Bank 2016 Briefcase

1. Rusev

Rusev's going to likely have a win in a feud over Dolph Ziggler, Lana back in his corner, and a series of competitive matches with the likes of John Cena, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns under his belt heading into 2016. Presume that he does well in the Royal Rumble, the idea of Rusev being the best choice for Money In The Bank makes sense. The double switch of Summer Rae to Dolph and Rusev being back with Lana could actually work for all parties involved. Intriguingly enough, Lana and Rusev could babyface themselves here as Summer Rae could be one of the least exciting potential babyface women's managers ever, and everyone actually wants #HEEL Ziggler to return. Babyface Rusev winning Money In The Bank for the love of his life would actually be a ton of fun. The fascinating characters that Rusev and Lana have become continuing to grow and possibly becoming a modern take on Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth would actually great for TV and for the company's PR, too. If you want great wrestling mixed with a potential feel good storyline, you too want Rusev to be the next Money In The Bank winner.
