Here is some news.
I guess they are NOT going to replace Jeff Hardy in MITB and will just go with seven guys. |

I really hate the idea of seven men. It can work with eight, and it gives another guy the chance to get in. I'm fairly certain that Kane is going to be somewhere else on the card after all, so he'll be out. Matt Hardy can get in, and once again take his thrown as the favoured Hardy (seriously, these two seem to go back and forth so much), and then you have one slot left.
Give it to Paul Burchill in a Battle Royal set up on RAW by Triple H to decide who gets to take the place of the suspended Jeff Hardy. Basically just fill it with RAW's mid-carders, and have it come down to Paul Burchill and Hardcore Holly, or something. This also allows Katie Lea, who is no stranger to ladders, to get involved at WrestleMania. Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. MVP vs. CM Punk vs. Paul Burchill vs. Matt Hardy |

Its all a work, Jeff will take his spot in MITB as a surprise on the night. Thats why there is a spot open. Either that or a returning RVD.

*SMACKDOWN SPOILERS*
John Morrison defeated The Miz to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at the SmackDown! tapings. I am of mixed mind about this. John Morrison is one of those guys that just feels like he belongs in a Ladder Match, and he does have the singles credentials, but he really should be focused on the whole tag team thing with The Miz while he is a WWE Tag Team Champion. Hopefully this does not mean The Miz gets added to the match. I'd rather see The Miz get involved in the match unofficially, and serve in a pre-show Battle Royal, or something. Matt Hardy is still my pick for the last slot, and I think they'll give him a big dramatic return win into the match, probably on RAW. My guess is that the Money in the Bank Ladder Match will end up being: Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. MVP vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison vs. Matt Hardy. Of all those guys, only Carlito and John Morrison feel awkward, but they'll be fantastic in the match, I'm sure. What I love about this year's MITB Ladder Match is that you have eight guys who can really thrive in the Ladder Match environment. There is no big man in there to throw people around, there is no "grounded" guy to play off that dynamic. You pretty much have eight crazy bastards. I think we'll see each of them do something cringe worthy, and it will be a glorious fun mess. |

I don't see Matt Hardy being in MITB. Rather, I could see him as a mystery etrant in the 24-man #1 Contender ECW Title Battle Royal. He goes on to win...and wins the belt.
Meanwhile, MVP wins MITB and we see him get back into his feud with Matt and MVP ultimately tries to cash in...Matt can retain (because face it, the MITB winner can't ALWAYS win the title, they've been hyping that fact so much) |

Kane and Matt Hardy are the only two guys I can really see challenging Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Championship at WrestleMania. Rob Van Dam is still on my pipe dream list, and Tommy Dreamer wouldn't surprise me (really, it wouldn't), but Matt Hardy is probably the second most likely option. It'd also be a nice "fuck you" to Jeff. He wants to go around being a druggie, we'll just push his good older brother to a "World Title" before him. I really think the WWE should start considering the ECW Championship a top belt again. I mean, it was never the most prestigious in the company, but they could at least recognise it as being the same tier as the WWE or World Heavyweight Championships. They should have put CM Punk over cleanly in that Champion vs. Champion Match from ECW a few months back. |

I rather like how this year the match features practically all rising stars with the exception of Jericho. Last year we had way too many vets and former champs (Edge, Booker, Finlay).

I don't know. I'm all for pushing Punk, but not at the expense of Edge, as he was/is trying to put together a somewhat credible title reign before Taker ends it at Mania 24 (most likely).
It'd be a bit ridiculous for a casual fan to see Edge lose to Punk, but then have to pay $55 to see if Edge can beat the Undertaker. |
