Who will walk out of Money in the Bank as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion?

With the Money in the Bank pay-per-view coming up, I for one, cannot confidently pick a competitor to win the ladder match and become the new Heavyweight Champion. Who do you believe will become the next champion? Feel free to post your opinions :wave:

It's really tough to predict. I think the only two I would definitely rule out are Cesaro and Sheamus. I can see a SLIGHT chance they try to build up ADR again by having him win it for the shock factor, join up with the authority have tension with Orton and then ultimately just lose it back to Bryan.

If I had to take a guess right now... I would go with Roman Reigns. Kind of a toss up in my mind between him and Orton with Cena just behind and Wyatt as a dark horse.

<font color=goldenrod>It'll be Cena. Thought about Reigns, but I think he's more likely to come close to winning and will get screwed over by Triple H to begin building towards their Summerslam match.

With Bryan's status uncertain going forward and no idea if he'll be back in time for Summerslam, I have to assume they're getting the belt on Cena to put him in position to main event Summerslam again. If Bryan isn't ready to go by then, Cena/Lesnar seems possible. Their first match a couple years ago was excellent.</font>

total shot in the dark

I'm guessing it's Cena. If it was my fed, i'd put the title back on the reliable, safe, trustworthy guy - only for Daniel Bryan to eventually come back and get it back.

I want Sheamus to win and run through all the main eventers only to tap out to a returning Daniel Bryan at Summer Slam.

Gonna vote like I'm back in pre-Internet times, teehee, hope dad doesn't come home too drunk, teehee

VIPER

Bray or Cesaro

I'd put it on Cesaro if they are going to do a Cesaro/Brock angle

moved this booking post to a new thread

I'D LIKE TO CREAM PAIGE'S CROP

Sorry about booking so early, the pic spawned a bunch of ideas out.

Orton or Cesaro.

Orton probably

Hmmmm.....

Sheamus and Del Rio both have zero chance of winning. Sheamus already has a title, and Del Rio has been treading water for about two years.

Cesaro has a small chance, but I don't see him winning either. I do think he'll be the stand-out performer in the match and get a decent push from that, but I don't see him taking the title for at least another year.

I don't see Randy winning, partially because his role has been reduced to an afterthought during the Daniel Bryan/Triple H thing and has barely had any mic time since he became window dressing for Evolution. Plus he just got done holding the belt for like nine months, and I just don't think I could stomach another run.

I can see Roman Reigns or Bray Wyatt pulling off an upset win-- Roman winning would put the center spotlight on the Shield/Authority feud, with the 'defiant rebel' champion that they had with Daniel Bryan before he got hurt. Wyatt winning, on the other hand, would be a great 'shocking' moment, solidify the Wyatt Family as a threat to everyone, and make up for getting squashed over and over by Cena.

However, as much as I absolutely don't want to see it, my prediction is that Cena wins the match. With Bryan out of action, I fully expect Vince and company to panic and revert to their default holding pattern. Cena's still their top cash-cow, so while I hate to say it, he's the safe bet to win.

You fuckers with your love and admiration for Super Cena.

Definitely not love and admiration here, just the norm.

i love and admire him. still hate to say he's the bet option here. hoping for bray, but i can't see them doing that just yet. no other option seems that enticing.

Leaning towards Cena with Bray as the dark horse pick.

Cena winning would fit the typical WWE panic move of them always falling back to Cena whenever something goes wrong. Also the least likely to be negatively affected as a transitional champion for Bryan once he returns.

Doubt anyone wants to see another Del Rio or Orton reign so that only leaves Bray left if a heel needs to win. Would be way too early for Reigns, Sheamus has better use right now as just the US champion, and while it would be nice, can't see Cesaro winning it right now.

I'm going with Cena for the same reason Vince probably will: He's the safe option.

That said, it IS kind of odd that the man front and center in the graphic is Reigns...

if you're trying to build him as a top face, you may as well treat him like one on the way up.

Wouldn't mind seeing Reigns or Wyatt really.

Don't think their gonna put reigns over just yet. cena is the obvious answer but I could see bray Wyatt finally get a shot as the heel champ

Daniel Bryan swerve. And that's my 110% serious opinion too.

I can see ADR winning it then losing it to Lesnar who loses it to someone at SS

This is their best bet to make a monster heel out of Sheamus.

Randy Orton will win with an RKO OUT OF NOWHERE.

But seriously, I honestly think either Cesaro, Roman, or Bray will get the win. Just have a feeling they'll go in that direction.

IMO, nobody should even be that close to the Nature Boy's 16x reign as champ.

How in the fuck is Cena a 14x champ?

or

Orton being a 12x champ?

That shit, right there, is fucking absurd.

2 things should've/should never happen.............

1. Undertaker retires with the streak intact.
2. Nobody ties or breaks Flair's 16x reign as champ.

Roman Reigns.

Wyatt, Orton or Cesaro will win it, and that is the order of likelihood for me.

They are going to put it on a heel; they almost HAVE to. Why put it on a face when Bryan will be back in a few weeks to reclaim it? This is why I am going with Wyatt. Wyatt was in that feud with Bryan a few months ago and as I've said before, it ended way too abruptly. If Bryan is coming back soonish and will be thrust right back into the title scene as is being predicted by many, Wyatt makes the most sense at this point. Gives Bryan a huge 'heel' to come back and triumph over and it closes out their feud properly. Also, with WWE employees stating recently that they see Wyatt becoming a face in the near future due to his popularity, this may be the only chance he gets to have a run as a champ in his current form; WWE might use this as a testing ground to see whether or not to keep him heel or turn him face.

Orton might win, as well, due to obvious reasons. Blah blah evolution, blah blah first WWE World Heavyweight Champ, blah blah never got his title rematch after the loss to Bryan and blah blah Orton was never pinned. Having Orton win and then drop the title back to Bryan lets the WWE escape without having to have Bryan go over another one of their 'big dogs' in the process.

Cesaro is my dark horse, but I don't see him getting the nod just yet. Hell, he can hardly handle RVD right now. They are giving him the slow push and I like it. Besides, in terms of Heyman guys, Lesnar will win the title before Cesaro.

Reigns has a slight chance of winning since he is Vince's new golden boy, but he is still a little green around the gills and unproven as a solo character. Seeing as The Shield is apparently fading away, I see them giving Reigns a little time to develop in the singles role before handing him the strap.

Cena won't win it this time, even though it has been awhile. Maybe next WM or Rumble or something, but not quite yet. Besides, he is supposed to be going into a program with Rusev soon according to some of the dirt sheets. Don't see them putting Rusev in the title scene yet. And really, who would Cena feud with over the title until Bryan gets back? And when Bryan gets back, why would he fight with Cena? Just because of the title? Nah. In saying that though, in the event they 'split' the titles again by having 2 men grab a title, I see it being Bray with one and Cena with the other. They then have a final match in their feud at SS and re-unify the titles, probably with Wyatt winning so he can hand them back to Bryan the next month. Could happen like that.

Sheamus already has a title atm. He isn't winning this one. Absolutely NO chance. Plus with him possibly going into a feud with Bray that would tend to lean more towards my idea of Bray winning it. Sheamus will bridge the gap for Wyatt until Bryan comes back. An interim feud, if you will.

Alberto is leaving soon. He isn't winning this. Him being put in the match at all was kind of surprising, but one last PPV main event might be a kind of thank you to him for his services over the past few years.

TL;DR? I was possessed by Noid. Not my fault.

CM Punk swerve. :shifty:

I don't get why everyone is so intent on crippling Daniel Bryan. :nono:

FUCKING NECK SURGERY, people. Unless you want him to end up like Paul Orndorff (one arm noticeably larger than the other due to nerve damage and atrophy)...

Personally, I'd rather he took however long it's gonna take to heal than rush his return and possibly put him in a wheel chair.

I would also prefer Daniel Bryan take a very, very, very, very long time to return.

Poop jokes

My thinking is that while his injury was probably legit, it just seemed really forced the other night on RAW when Cole stated that it was taking DB much longer to recover than had been expected. I don't want him rushed back too soon either, but the other thing that smells kind of fishy about this whole thing is that a ladder match for the biggest prize in WWE involves 7 superstars. Not 6. Not 8. FUCKING 7. Just seems like they might be (not saying they ARE) fudging the truth about his condition and he could return anytime but they want him as a literal last-second (i.e., mid-to-end of-match) "surprise participant" who just so happens to claim the titles again.

I know it's not at all likely that any of that will happen, nor should it. Just expressing an opinion here, that's all.

I can understand that, as well. I just wonder what the hell they were expecting? John Cena needed 5 months after neck surgery, and that was rather rushed.
