WWE will round out the men's Money In The Bank ladder match lineup on next week's episode of SmackDown.

The company has announced two bumper showdowns for Friday's show. Firstly, Shinsuke Nakamura will battle Baron Corbin for a spot in the melee. Later, old rivals Cesaro and Seth Rollins will collide to settle the score and establish the final entrant.

Both matches should be fun - WWE appear to be going all in on this 'Kingsuke' stuff with Shin, and it'd be nice to see him motor past Corbin into something new. Working the MITB bout seems like a logical step for Nakamura and his guitar-playing pal Rick Boogs.

Cesaro vs. Rollins just sounds tasty. Sure, it's another rematch on a brand that's certainly fond of them, but these guys could work classics in their sleep. It's a toss up who'd be better for Money In The Bank (Seth would even out a babyface-heavy field by adding another heel to the mix though).

Ricochet, John Morrison, Riddle, Drew McIntyre, Big E and Kevin Owens have already been confirmed for the 18 July pay-per-view. Could Nakamura and Rollins be set to join them?
