So, let the predictions begin: Who will be the next Mr. Money in the Bank?

Probably the most entertaining person to hold the briefcase would be Kevin Owens, simply because you know he would walk to ringside every time the world champion is in a match and simply tease cashing in to freak him out. Sami Zayn and Cesaro might seem like longshots, but both would be feel-good stories for WWE, possibly cashing in on a heel champ down the line. Dean Ambrose would torment a heel champ much in the same way that KO would badger a face champion. Of course, Chris Jericho already has six world titles, and a seventh isnt necessary to his career. But you never know

Or perhaps the winner hasnt yet qualified. While many have said that the gimmick has run its course especially after Sheamus inexplicably won the briefcase over Roman Reigns last year and then was a dud of a champ it still could provide WWE with a fun storyline through the summer into the fall if done properly.
