<h3 id="9Kw2mD">Winners Take All Mixed Tag Team Extreme Rules match for the Universal & Raw Women’s championships</h3>
<h4 id="DFrhtG">Lacey Evans & Baron Corbin vs. Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins (c)</h4>
<p id="0uFkqH">To borrow the title of jukebox romantic musical comedy film based on the music of a 70s Swedish supergroup... Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again.</p>
<h4 id="UKLIMQ">The Road to <em>Extreme Rules</em>
</h4>
<p id="JZHqm1">Taken individually, the match-ups are not new.</p>
<p id="MFwqlp">Rollins and Corbin have been beefing since before The Shield wrote their final chapter. In fact, the Lone Wolf was part of the trio who did the job for the Hounds of Justice at <em>The Shield’s Final Chapter</em>. Then he lost to the Architect in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and finagled it so he could pick the referee for the rematch at last month’s <em>Stomping Grounds</em> pay-per-view (PPV). But more on that in a minute...</p>
<p id="0UP8pL">Evans was introduced as Lynch’s main rival on <em>Raw</em> immediately after <em>WrestleMania 35</em>. Though they skipped <em>Super ShowDown</em> for the obvious reason, at both <em>Money in the Bank</em> and <em>Stomping Grounds</em>, The Man made The Lady tap out. </p>
<p id="tZItKI">If that doesn’t sound like the set-up for a mixed tag match with both Seth’s Universal title and Becky’s Raw Women’s belt, well, let’s go back to the main event of June’s PPV. It was there that Corbin introduced Lacey as his guest referee:</p>
<div id="kqfDf6"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ITY8U_SbDm4?rel=0" style="border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="MheZWw">Since Seth had been attacking any and all potential officials, the idea was here was one he wouldn’t take out. But his girlfriend (did we mention Rollins & Lynch are an item? don’t worry, WWE will remind you many, many times tonight) could, and she did. The Man took out The Lady twice at <em>Stomping Grounds</em>, her man kept his title and... we still weren’t done.</p>
<p id="kpdR75">The next night on Raw, Corbin & Evans basically annoyed their way into the match we’re getting tonight. Even though the champs have nothing to prove, they got the heels to agree that in exchange for a Winner Takes All mixed tag at <em>Extreme Rules</em>, Baron & Lacey would leave them alone if the outcome was the same as its been every time they’ve faced off in singles competition.</p>
<div id="bjbhQs"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dasshjScPWc?rel=0" style="border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="SaOmF1">Lynch & Rollins then won some tune-up matches, and the challengers jumped them after they beat Andrade & Zelina Vega on the ‘go home’ edition of <em>Raw</em>. And here we are.</p>
<h4 id="bRbdUA">What’s at stake?</h4>
<p id="iuc4hY">The titles, clearly. And maybe our collective sanity, if we try to figure how an extreme rules stipulation works in a mixed tag match... can the guys hit the women without consequences then? Or is it just no disqualification for intragender action, but intergender stuff still triggers a DQ? Do the belts change hands on a DQ in no DQ match?</p>
<p id="A8AhzF">Anyway... probably the biggest question is how WWE transitions out of booking Rollins & Lynch as a couple, and if there time together helped, hindered, or had no effect on their popularity. The past two weeks of television seems to indicate the company knows fans aren’t anxious to see more of Lacey or Baron at this point, and they’ll probably drift back to the mid-card after this until Vince McMahon sees another opportunity to push a couple Superstars he clearly believes can be big draws.</p>
<p id="J6yH82">While I’ve been critical of the power couple angle from the jump, I really doubt it hurts Becky or Seth much in the long-term. They’ll be as over as their next programs. If WWE can pair them with someone who feels like more of a threat than Corbin and Evans - it shouldn’t be hard - we’ll probably be just as interested in cheering them as we were three or four months ago.</p>
<p id="iaUe2v">There’s also a chance they’ll have the belts change hands in Philadelphia tonight. But I somehow doubt Paul Heyman wants to start his reign with a pair of champions fans hate for the wrong reasons.</p>
<p id="cusCLT">Join us in a few hours and we’ll all find out together. One way or the other, this should all be over soon.</p>

<h4 id="LLgC65">WWE <em>MONEY IN THE BANK </em>LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE</h4>
<p id="yGXyrI">If I saw you now, could I look in your eyes? Do you think of me like I dream of you? Do you wish you were here like I wish I was with you? You’ve loved me before... do you love me now? Does love ever end when two hearts have torn away? Or does it go on and beat strong anyway? You’ve loved me before... do you love me now? Come on back to me right now, and I’ll liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you.</p>
<p id="3N68zN">The pre-show kicks off with Jonathan Coachman welcoming us to the show and introducing his panel, comprised of Charly “Guns” Caruso, Sam Roberts, and David Otunga. They run down the card and shill for the WWE Network before beginning their night of preview action with the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. </p>
<p id="Qz1b8m">Becky Lynch is interviewed backstage.</p>
<p id="81i0jM">She says her two opponents tonight know they can’t win on their own, and tonight the odds are even and Lacey Evans is about to find out what Charlotte Flair already knows-- it’s a whole different ballgame one-on-one against The Man. Tonight we’re gonna find out what those two dopes are made of, and Lynch knows the weight of history is on her shoulders and the right road isn’t the easy one.</p>
<p id="H6q6FK">She didn’t come here to make her title reigns plentiful, she came to make them meaningful, and right now she knows she has two rosters full of women who want what she has. So tonight she’s dishing out double beatings, because that’s what happens when The Man comes around. The panel discusses her matches and we go backstage where Lacey is picking at her opera gloves.</p>
<p id="OMfITW">She says Becky talks so much trash and the longer trash sits, the more it rots and eventually you bag it up and take it to the curb, which is exactly where she’s going to end up tonight. But keep talking, because the more she talks, the sweeter taking her title is gonna be. And after she’s cleaned the ring of Becky’s nasty presence, it’ll be Charlotte’s turn to clean the sweep and Lynch’ll realize The Man was no match for a Queen or a Lady.</p>
<p id="bQCZm3">The panel moves onto a video package and discussion for Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens is interviewed backstage and says the way he’s destroyed New Day is proof that he’ll become WWE Champion tonight. He can slap the positivity right off his face, break Kofi’s hand, and no matter how he does this, he’s giving him a much-needed reality check.</p>
<p id="nGXQix">The reality is Kingston is a fantastic role model, incredible performer, and all-around nice guy, and he has no issue with him beyond the fact that he’s got the title and he guarantees it’ll be a new day at the end of the night, the first day of Kevin Owens as WWE Champion. The panel then discusses the match before moving onto Reigns vs. Elias and then Shane McMahon vs. the Miz.</p>
<p id="2zM726">Nikki Cross gets a handcam promo saying that she wants to give Alexa Bliss a chance because she’s been nothing but lovely, and it upsets her that Bliss can’t compete, but she’s gonna make the most of her opportunity and be just like her. Let Nikki play, let Nikki claim, let Nikki win. Beth Phoenix and Sonya Deville join the panel to discuss the women’s Money in the Bank match.</p>
<p id="htx0ZR">Zelina Vega interrupts to start something with Sonya and they bicker at length before we head down to ringside for our first match.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="fUb0hq">

<p id="OkG20S">We get a recap of how Sami Zayn came to replace Braun Strowman in the men’s Money in the Bank match.</p>
<p id="qVMRXO">Backstage, Triple H is on the phone when Sami taps him on the shoulder to ask where Shane is. Hunter says he’s getting ready for his cage match and tries to go back to his conversation but Zayn insists it’s very important. HHH hangs up and gets in his face and Sami says Braun is a problem. Last week he destroyed him to get into the match and now, well, Strowman is predictable and vindictive and wants to hurt him.</p>
<p id="l6taFp">He can’t warm up or think straight, and Hunter tells him to breathe and relax. Zayn says he’s cool but he thinks he speaks for the other Raw heels about the Braun Strowman situation, and HHH says Braun’s not even here, he’s been banned from the building. Sami says with all due respect all he’s asking for is protection. Hunter says if he wants protection, tape up his fists and get out of the office.</p>
<p id="lckB5I">In the locker room, we see Rey Mysterio getting ready when his son Dominick rolls in.</p>

<p id="UYOE6y">Dominick comes to ringside to celebrate with his father... UNTIL JOE ATTACKS! Repeated headbutts to Rey, back in the ring, hammering punches to the face, true uranage connects! Joe stares at Dominick and hooks Mysterio... ANOTHER URANAGE! Dominick paces at ringside, concerned, and Samoa drops a senton on Rey! </p>
<p id="0yMoDv">Joe leaves without issue and commentary discusses his shoulders not being properly down.</p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="YWRjKf">
<p id="mDNn3k">We go backstage where Braun Strowman is destroying things and chokes a crew member against a production truck demanding to know where Sami Zayn is.</p>

<p id="rgKN8R">Stomps in the corner set Miz up and McMahon climbs... COAST 2 COAST INTERCEPTED INTO A DOUBLE LEG! Spinning toehold, into the figure four leglock in the middle of the ring! Shane crawls for the corner, breaking the hold, the door is open, upkicks stop Miz... but he grabs McMahon’s ankle again and drags him in! Shane brought a chair with him but the A-Lister kicks it out of his hand!</p>
<p id="TtloXH">Both men down and out, Miz gets the chair and McMahon begs off on his knees! Running for the door and the A-Lister waffles him with the chair before shutting the door and raining another chairshot down! Slamming the door on Shane’s face for good measure, more chairshots, dragging him to his feet... SKULL-CRUSHING FINALE ON A CHAIR BUT MCMAHON GETS A FOOT ON THE ROPES! </p>
<p id="seyIQ8">It shouldn’t matter but referee Rod Zapata stops counting anyway!</p>
<p id="GOOd41">Headed up top, full nelson, Shane fights him off and knocks the A-Lister to the mat! McMahon climbing, but Miz is right after him with chair shots to the ankle!

<h4 id="tM6DMZ">Ariya Daivari vs. Tony Nese (c) (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)</h4>
<p id="xaOGfx">Circling, collar and elbow, Daivari backing Nese into the corner and breaking dirty with puinches! Nese kicking away, duck a roundhouse, leg sweep into a leg drop, only two! Moonsault, land on his feet when nobody’s home and Ariya scrapes his eye across the top rope! Pulling him back inside, right hands, Tony swinging blind and missing as Daivari connects again and again.</p>

<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="yfmKyN">
<p id="K5KSBy">Backstage, Triple H runs into Braun Strowman.</p>
<p id="FDqtIx">He says he gets what he’s doing, but if he thinks he’s gonna take Sami Zayn’s place after what he did, it’s not happening. Strowman says he’s got no idea what he’s talking about and Hunter insists that he did.

<h3 id="9Kw2mD">SmackDown Women’s championship match</h3>
<h4 id="DFrhtG">Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (c) </h4>
<p id="0uFkqH">Breaking down the latest in a what has lately been a surprisingly one-sided rivalry.</p>
<h4 id="UKLIMQ">The Road to <em>Money in the Bank</em>
</h4>
<p id="D9mPzC">In 2018, The Lasskicker became The Man and everything about this rivalry flipped on its head.</p>
<p id="Na5aom">Charlotte, a 4-time Raw Women’s Champion and a 3-time SmackDown Women’s Champion, always seemed to be able to get a victory when it mattered most against Lynch. At least that’s what it felt like, right? Charlotte Flair was the daughter to wrestling royalty and constantly in the hunt for championships. Lynch? She was still finding her way top.</p>
<p id="5MurVq">But then “The Man” happened and...well. Lynch has evolved into something Charlotte’s been unable to solve. In fact, here’s a trivia question for you, Cagesiders: when was the last time that Charlotte was able to cleanly defeat Lynch?</p>
<p id="HmhDuU">…</p>
<p id="wVhUVp">…</p>
<p id="jZpTS4">Ready for the answer?</p>
<p id="xVfRQC">SummerSlam 2018. </p>
<p id="k8rybl">That’s right; it’s been nearly a year. Lynch got the best of Charlotte at <em>Evolution</em>. She got the best of the Queen in the Royal Rumble. The Man stood tall yet again at WrestleMania. An interesting side effect of these losses has been the toll they’ve taken on Charlotte; she’s become increasingly vicious in the ring and arrogant when it comes to her own talents. In fact, she’s been looking for any reason she can to claim superiority over Lynch.</p>
<p id="BAHHzS">Even more notably, it seems like no one’s buying Charlotte’s inherent superiority anymore. After falling to Lynch again at WrestleMania, Charlotte wanted another shot at the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. And sure, she never got pinned; but how many shots are you supposed to get?</p>
<h4 id="bRbdUA">What’s at stake?</h4>
<p id="8ehYHG">That’s the most engaging part of this story, I’d say. Not only are the SmackDown Women’s Championship and Charlotte’s sanity at stake, but the outcome of this match might also have an impact on the Raw Women’s Championship. Lynch is fighting twice at <em>Money in the Bank, </em>and you know that’s the sort of thing that must be driving Charlotte nuts. </p>
<p id="q3WlNy">She demands attention, and she demands respect. Lynch seems content to satisfy neither of those quotas.</p>
<p id="0eLTXJ">Think about it from Charlotte’s perspective for a second. She’s got the locker room breathing down her neck for title opportunities and the only way out is to defeat an opponent she hasn’t been able to overcome.</p>
<p id="cXT34W">...Good luck.</p>
<p id="udjlrh">I think we’re going to see a particularly nasty Charlotte Flair in this match, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this match happens before the Lynch vs. Lacey Evans fight. But does that mean Charlotte can finally put Lynch away?</p>
<p id="6fTuh3">Lynch was the first to complain about having to deal with Charlotte yet again, but the SmackDown Live locker room also stepped up at last. Bayley appeared to challenge Charlotte, but the Queen was able to fend off the competition for her final shot at Lynch.</p>

<h3 id="4FyI4y">Universal championship match</h3>
<h4 id="nASIuT">Seth Rollins (c) vs. AJ Styles</h4>
<p id="jecyG1">One of the biggest roster changes of the 2019 Superstar Shakeup was unveiled on the Apr. 15 episode of <em>Raw</em> when AJ Styles came out as a mystery partner for Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. It was official - Styles was now a member of the <em>Raw</em> roster.</p>
<p id="shtzyr">The Phenomenal One spent the better part of the last three years turning <em>SmackDown Live</em> into the House That AJ Styles Built. It’s now clear that he plans to work his ass off every Monday night to build that same foundation of excellence on <em>Raw</em>.</p>
<p id="Bf2vwL">Styles wasted no time, winning two separate matches on the Apr. 22 <em>Raw</em> in order to earn a Universal championship match against Seth Rollins at <em>Money in the Bank</em>. Rollins came out to offer Styles a congratulatory handshake, a clear sign of respect between two elite athletes. </p>
<div id="6YE1Kl"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/itmG4J1z5VU?rel=0" style="border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="5TII9U">But things quickly devolved from there. The trash talk began one week later during a contract signing. This time AJ eventually offered his hand to Seth, but Rollins decided to ignore the gesture and instead held up the Universal title right in AJ’s face. This incited a brawl which resulted in Rollins eating a Phenomenal Forearm right through a table.</p>

<p id="C08iby">Rollins and Styles were forced to team up one week later, and shockingly, it didn’t go well. AJ Styles was poised to strike Baron Corbin with a Phenomenal Forearm, but the Lone Wolf moved out of the way at the last second. The end result was that Rollins was blasted with yet another one right in his kisser. Styles reacted to this mistake in suspicious fashion, by walking out of the ring and ditching his partner. So...was it really a mistake after all?</p>

<p id="KBm945">After taking AJ’s best shot in consecutive weeks, Seth Rollins doesn’t really give a damn if that last blow was intentional or not. The Architect is fired up and said he plans to give AJ a receipt in the form of two black eyes and a broken face. </p>
<p id="95ww6m">This is essentially a dream match, the first time ever that Rollins and Styles will meet one-on-one in a WWE ring on pay-per-view. The stakes couldn’t be much higher, as the Universal championship hangs in the balance. Will AJ Styles demonstrate to the world that Monday Night Rollins is a thing of the past, or will Rollins burn AJ’s plan right down to the ground?</p>

<p id="UC513j">We’re just hours away from the WWE <em>Money in the Bank</em> pay-per-view (PPV) at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, and that means we’re just hours away from the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. It’s an important match, considering the winner is likely looking at a future run with the Universal or WWE championship.</p>
<p id="Klya5y">Here is the field, and how likely they are to win:</p>
<p id="bzRMl2"><strong>Ricochet</strong>: A fairly recent call up, he was given a fairly strong push when he was running alongside Aleister Black but it’s been back-and-forth since he started his singles run. His high flying ways are perfect for this match type, but does the big bossman see him as a future world champion? <em>Verdict: Unlikely!</em></p>
<p id="yepmRQ"><strong>Andrade</strong>: He’s been steadily putting on good matches with a wide range of talent and recent reports indicate the higher ups are high on him. He’s got the right look, the right skill set, and appeals to a market WWE needs to do more to tap into going forward. <em>Verdict: Maybe!</em></p>
<p id="Hhd1HH"><strong>Drew McIntyre</strong>: He’s big, he looks great, his promos are strong, and he can do enough in the ring to be a top guy. He’s also a heel, which helps a lot with carrying that briefcase around. There have been plenty of reports that Vince McMahon still thinks very highly of him and he’s mostly been protected. <em>Verdict: Highly likely!</em></p>
<p id="4gMx89"><strong>Finn Balor</strong>: He’s the current Intercontinental champion, and while his inclusion should make this match fun, there isn’t really much reason for him to win the briefcase beyond trying to create a shocking moment. <em>Verdict: Highly unlikely!</em></p>
<p id="RCuKuc"><strong>Sami Zayn</strong>: He beat Braun Strowman to take his place in the match, and that means we’re likely getting a run-in from “The Monster Among Men” to ensure Zayn doesn’t win. Having said that, he would be a great candidate considering his recent character work and the outstanding promos he’s been cutting since his return. <em>Verdict: Possibly!</em></p>
<p id="Q41ofl"><strong>Baron Corbin</strong>: There’s just no way they give him the briefcase again after the massive failure that was his last run with it. Plus, the latest reports have him next in line for Seth Rollins anyway. <em>Verdict: Highly unlikely!</em></p>
<p id="gdBxxA"><strong>Ali</strong>: He’s still playing the underdog but he does it quite well. That means it’s at least possible he gets the surprise win. <em>Verdict: Possibly!</em></p>
<p id="KUvCTd"><strong>Randy Orton</strong>: I’m not entirely sure why he’s in this match. <em>Verdict: Highly unlikely!</em></p>
<p id="rEOO5t">We’ll find out the winner in just a few hours. Follow along right here at Cageside Seats!</p>

<h3 id="9Kw2mD">Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match</h3>
<h4 id="DFrhtG">Ember Moon vs. Mandy Rose vs. Dana Brooke vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Natalya vs. Naomi vs. Carmella </h4>
<p id="0uFkqH">Let’s not waste any time with the “Road to Money in the Bank” or “What’s at stake?” stuff.</p>
<p id="FNhpXE">The participants were announced by Alexa Bliss without any explanation for why they were chosen. The build has consisted of tag and multi-person battles for “momentum”, with occasional teases about the possibility of a two-time Ms. Money in the Bank. But now inaugural winner Carmella is the only person with a chance of making that happen, so to paraphrase a Genetic Freak, the odds of that storyline bearing fruit have drastic gone down.</p>
<p id="5uuEwp">A contract for a title shot at the time and place of the winner’s choosing is at stake. No woman has ever lost a match where she cashed in that briefcase with that contract inside (granted, there have only been two). So whoever climbs the ladder and grabs the case tomorrow night stands a pretty good chance of becoming Raw or SmackDown Women’s champ.</p>
<p id="9XMImy">Got it? Okay, now let’s break down the field - starting with the representatives from the red brand:</p>
<h5 id="EHmuyz">Naomi</h5>
<p id="KppxfX"><strong>Resume: </strong><em>Total Divas</em> cast member, two-time SmackDown Women’s champ, WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal winner</p>
<p id="sk3Hk6"><strong>Why she’ll win:</strong> You can never rule Trinity Fatu out in big moments. She’s someone WWE can count on to deliver and exciting match people will respond to. A briefcase and run with the Raw Women’s title would check all the boxes for what is probably already a Hall of Fame career.<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> Doesn’t make a ton of booking sense, as face briefcase winners always feel a little off. There wouldn’t be a ton of heat for a Becky Lynch feud, and a rivalry with Lacey Evans would make the Lady feel a little more Laura Ingraham/Tomi Lahren than anyone is probably comfortable with.</p>
<h5 id="t9XshD"><strong>Natalya</strong></h5>
<p id="gaB5vr"><strong>Resume: </strong>Hart Dungeon trainee, <em>Total Divas</em> cast member, Divas champ, SmackDown Women’s champ</p>
<p id="V0l66L"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>You can pretty much cut & paste the Naomi section, except Natty is a no doubter for Vince McMahon’s Hall of Fame. And she actually does make sense as a rival for whoever leaves Hartford with the red brand strap, since proving yourself against a Hart can always be a story for anyone of either alignment.<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> It was about six years between her previous title reigns, so her next one probably won’t be until 2023 or so.</p>
<h5 id="XlVjMJ"><strong>Dana Brooke</strong></h5>
<p id="SZgegj"><strong>Resume:</strong> Championship caliber fitness competitor, former statistician for Titus Worldwide</p>
<p id="wM5wMM"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>Raw’s Women’s scene feels pretty depleted, and this could be a good way to quickly establish a new competitor.<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> If WWE was going to take Brooke seriously as a title contender, it would have happened by now.</p>
<h5 id="YYHFs0"><strong>Nikki Cross</strong></h5>
<p id="xqiRV5"><strong>Resume:</strong> Indie & NXT darling</p>
<p id="Tim8JP"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>Both because it would immediately set her up as a player in the scene, and because it would make the fans who complain the loudest but regularly show up & tune in happy. And Triple H did say we’re the authority...<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> She wouldn’t even be in the match if Alexa’d been cleared. I’m not even sure she’d officially assigned to Raw. These are not signs the brass have big plans for you.</p>
<p id="7ZRj6t">And from the blue brand, we have...</p>
<h5 id="iQP8Qg"><strong>Bayley</strong></h5>
<p id="vawCpZ"><strong>Resume:</strong> NXT Women’s champ, Raw Women’s champ, WWE Women’s Tag champ</p>
<p id="ArhEQv"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>Adult fans waver, but younger ones seem to love her, and she reportedly consistently moves merch. She’s a heck of an in-ring performer, and her role in history as a NXT Horsewoman gives her a similar aura to what Natalya gets from being a Hart Dungeon trainee. They also appeared to be starting to tweak her character to give her more edge post-Superstar Shake-up and pre-MitB “momentum” series.<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> It’s rarely felt like Vince & his creative team are sold on Bayley, and there’s no reason to believe a consistent arc of character development, let alone a sustained push, is in her future.</p>
<h5 id="SWEONI"><strong>Ember Moon</strong></h5>
<p id="DEr3i6"><strong>Resume:</strong> NXT Women’s champ</p>
<p id="DSkURn"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>A Finn Bálor-like gimmick which stays over without needing to be explained/make sense thanks to a cool look and a dope finisher. A very good and fun to watch in-ring talent.<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> Has shown a tendency to get sidelined with injuries throughout her WWE career, and that coule lead to some hesitancy on the part of the backstage players to elevate her much beyond the mid-card or tag scene.</p>
<h5 id="LvtGam"><strong>Carmella</strong></h5>
<p id="s9ypUH"><strong>Resume:</strong> former (and future?) <em>Total Divas</em> cast member, Money in the Bank winner (2017), SmackDown Women’s champ</p>
<p id="XuShCw"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>She’s more over now as a babyface than when she won as a heel, and has improved all aspects of her game since James Ellsworth threw her the briefcase and set fire to the internet two years ago. <br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> See above re: babyfaces with the briefcase rarely make for great stories. And if she’s getting pops doing dance breaks, why wouldn’t WWE just let her keep doing her thing?</p>
<h5 id="LBbLVM"><strong>Mandy Rose</strong></h5>
<p id="o2qD6T"><strong>Resume:</strong> Championship caliber fitness competitor, former <em>Total Divas</em> cast member</p>
<p id="8TCd5I"><strong>Why she’ll win: </strong>Corey Graves’ orgasmic reaction to her arrival on-screen is probably being fed to him by the Chairman of the company. She could take the Eva Marie gimmick pretty far, seeing as she’s much more capable between the ropes than All Red Everything was. This would signal her move to the next level.<br><strong>Why she won’t:</strong> They may have bigger plans for her - ones that wouldn’t involve risking her looking like a second fiddle to Lynch or Charlotte Flair. Since the SmackDown women’s division is stacked, a briefcase win wouldn’t necessarily elevate her if fans aren’t ready to buy into her as a threat. And to this point in her career, not much has been done to make her seem like a threat.</p>
