That is pretty awesome. Not a complaint, but I kind of feel like the Money in the Bank matches are a little lop-sided though. I think they will turn out fine and are perfectly interesting, but I think some of the guys in the WWE Championship match should be going for the World Heavyweight Title.
Sheamus, for example, won the Royal Rumble last year and chose to challenge Daniel Bryan. He's made the World Title a career goal, having already been a two-time WWE Champion. He lost the title to Big Show last year, but shouldn't he want it back? The same goes for Christian, who is a former two-time World Heavyweight Champion and wants "one more match." Wouldn't that "one more match" be for the WHT?
Jack Swagger and The Miz would also be natural picks for the World Title MITB. Swagger was chasing the title until he hurt his hand and is a former MITB Winner. The Miz often brings up on Main Event's commentary that the only title he hasn't won is the World Heavyweight Title, so he'd like to win that championship. Boom, they go into that match alongside Sheamus and Christian. Zeb Colter might want to spread his clients across each match, to ideally make it possible for him "save" each major championship. Antonio Cesaro would thus be entered into the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Dean Ambrose, while he's never made it apparent that he wants to challenge for any specific World Title, has existing issues with Kane, Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton. He'd make a perfect heel foil for that match. Since I've put The Miz into the World Title Money in the Bank, that leaves Curtis Axel without a clear Money in the Bank opponent, but as a secondary champion he could be entered into the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and he could talk about how he's about to win the title his father never could.
WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Antonio Cesaro vs. CM Punk vs. Curtis Axel vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Kane vs. Randy Orton vs. Rob Van Dam
World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Christian vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Fandango vs. Jack Swagger vs. The Miz vs. Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett
The matches then look a bit more balanced, with former World Champions and at least two former winners in each match. It makes the World Title look almost as desirable as the WWE Title (which I guess just isn't the WWE's goal anymore) and it at least makes booking television over the next few weeks a fair bit easier, as you can have Christian, Sheamus and The Miz mixing it up with the heels scheduled for the World Title MITB. John Cena vs. Mark Henry, Del Rio vs. Ziggler, Jericho vs. Ryback, AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn with Natalya as Special Guest Referee and The Shield vs. The Usos would comprise the rest of the card. That's seven matches, and while not many of them need too much time, you could always give The Usos a great showing against The Shield by having them go for quite a while and allowing Del Rio and Ziggler to wrestle for longer than people would expect them to.
