2. Atlas Shrugs

Jake Atlas has been a quiet beneficiary of Cameron Grimes and LA Knight's desperate attempts to impress Ted Dibiase. Could he be the one the Million Dollar Man has scouted all along, and benefit one last time on Sunday?

It wouldn't even take that much to turn things upside down for the two fools going to war with that daft gold ladder. Dibiase's always used his money for power, and it wouldn't be a wild stretch to imagine him arriving on the stage just as both men are down and announcing that he's bought his way into adding a third man.

With a shrug and a shimmy looking at the bodies below, Atlas could take an easy route to success and become just only the fifth man to ever be acknowledged as the Million Dollar Champion. Even as a gradually-turning face, Grimes could fume along with the a*shole Knight, while Atlas' proving that everybody still has price might be the next leap forward in his burgeoning NXT career.
