Storyline- These two went head to head at WrestleMania but Joe made a short work of an injured Mysterio. Since then both have been moved from SmackDown to RAW but have carried on with the rivalry. The stark feature of this storyline(as it was also during the build-up to WrestleMania) has been the involvement of Rey’s son Dominic. He was quick to come out and celebrate with Rey when he beat Joe in singles match a few weeks ago and Joe has taken notice of that. Joe has cornered Dominic last week and told him not to try to humiliate him any further. This week at RAW, Cesaro took a shot at Rey over Dominic which lead to their brawl and then a match.

Prediction- The indication is clear that Dominic will get involved at the show. Whether it will be during the match or after it, remains to be seen. I am guessing that Joe will win the match and Dominic will make the save at the post-match beatdown.

5. Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Participants- Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Randy Orton, Ricochet, Baron Corbin, Andrade, (Mustafa) Ali

Storyline- Without much buildup, the participants were directly announced on their respective show a few weeks back. Braun Strowman was earlier announced for the match but then he put Sami Zayn in a dumpster and Zayn somehow convinced Shane McMahon to give him a match against Strowman for the MITB match spot. Zayn got great help from Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin to win the match and the spot. Apart from this, these participants have worked some matches between them since, but that is it in the buildup for the match.

Prediction- The inclusion of Strowman storyline is definitely an indication that whoever wins the briefcase will feud with Strowman going forward. So, the winner will be either of Corbin, McIntyre or Zayn. I do not see WWE giving it to Corbin again hence either of Zayn or McIntyre will leave with the briefcase.

6. Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Participants- Nikki Cross, Bayley, Naomi, Natalya, Mandy Rose, Carmella, Ember Moon, Dana Brooke

Storyline- Like the men’s match, Women’s match participants were directly announced. Just after the announcement of RAW side, Bliss and Naomi faced off where Bliss lost due to the problems with her ‘shoelaces’. SmackDown side of Women faced off in a tag team match)bar Bayley) where Mandy Rose got the pin over Ember Moon. On RAW, a fatal 4-way match was booked between the participants where Nikki Cross, who replaced Bliss for the night, won.

Prediction- Earlier, this match was penciled for Sasha Banks. In her absence, my money will be on either of Mandy Rose. She has been improving in the ring and already look much better than her loss against Asuka at Fastlane. She is my top pick to win it this time around.

7. Kofi Kingston(c) vs Kevin Owens – WWE Championship

Storyline- Kevin Owens became the honorary member of the New Day in the absence of Big E and turned on Kofi in a matter of one week. Sneak attacks and brawls have followed and Kevin Owens has maintained the rhetorics that Kofi does not deserve to champion. Although he is still to take a clear advantage over Kofi in their brawls yet.

Prediction- I don’t see any reason to think that Kofi will drop the title. The storyline between them is set to continue after this match but here, Kofi will retain the title.
