Money in the Bank Finally...A Woman Will Carry THE Briefcase...

[Nikki Nitro]

It's a MITB ladder match for the SmackDown Women's Championship contract.

Participants are: Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Tamina and Carmella.

I'd be willing to Bet that Charlotte Wins.

 

[MrEdzhuks]

I'm going with either Becky or Natalya. Becky would look the coolest with that briefcase, but I can also see Ellsworth carrying it around for Carmella.

 

[RedDwarfTechy]

I hope they don't have botchmania with ladder spots. It's a little riskier than regular matches.

Some of the ladies are great wrestlers, others...(carmella) have a long way to go. So hopefully it doesn't completely under-deliver and is injury free!

Ugh...I'm kind of hoping that if Carmella wins she'll ditch Ellsworth...

I'm sick of the guy...

I hope they don't have botchmania with ladder spots. It's a little riskier than regular matches.

If I'm being realistic...I'm sure Becky & Natalya have the experience to structure a solid/great match...
and its possible Charlotte may provide a "high point" of the match with some kind of moonsault.

Some of the ladies are great wrestlers, others...(Carmella) have a long way to go. So hopefully it doesn't completely under-deliver and is injury free!

Hopefully Carmella & Tamina can contribute...and its possible Ellsworth may-be heavily involved as
he has a "history" with ladder matches.

I could see him climbing to the top to steal the case for Carmella only for Becky to tip the ladder
and send him crashing through a couple of tables...just like he did to Ambrose.

I also hope all the ladies remain injury free...if one or more of them goes down...the WWE may ditch
the women's ladder match completely...which would be a giant step backwards.

I see a heel winning this one, most likely Natalya or Carmella

My immediate reaction to the announcement was "this has Charlotte written all over it" but ain't penciling it in just yet. This should be very interesting so curious to see how it plays out leading to the PPV...

 

[Nikki Nitro]

Im rooting for Charolette

 

[Rosie]

A little history? I can't complain and with the rocky friendship with Becky and Charlotte and the fact the....heel wrestlers most likely all want the Briefcase, it can be a good match with a good story.

 

[Snowman1]

Honestly wonder if it's better to watch this one the next day. Cover your eyes, avoid the spoilers, and yell "was anyone hurt?" In the thread before diving in. Live watching 140 pound models fall off ladders looks really scary, and I don't wanna worry about the health of the performers... They'll likely be OK just like the men though and I love giving it a shot and love the creative possibilities and love love love everything about this just PLEASE DONT DIE

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

I'm gonna go with a real dark horse here and say Natalya is gonna win

 

[Grievous 3D]

Okay...So...I have a bit to unpack here...

I would honestly love to see Becky claim the briefcase...as it could lead to a possible
heel turn...or at least her cashing-in on Charlotte with the catch phrase of "Payback's a bitch"

Plus that might lead to all those Charlotte vs. Becky matches I want...

I think Natalya deserves to claim the briefcase after all the years of loyal service &
putting up with some absolutely terrible booking and creative choices. Nattie deserves
to make her own piece of history in the "Women's Revolution"

I could see Natalya cashing-in at a PPV in Canada...or even at Wrestlemania.

Charlotte...while she is my Bae...doesn't need to claim the briefcase...and will always
be in the title picture on SmackDown or RAW...she is still the Alpha Female after all...
and will be until she retires.

Carmella claiming the briefcase would be great for her on a career level and possibly
make up for all the downright awful booking she has had put up with since making the
main roster.

Also...a cheap and fast cash-in would fit Carmella's character perfectly...and I could
see her hitting a superkick, cashing-in and slapping on the Code of Silence for a quick
victory.

I just wish she would ditch Ellsworth...and hopefully if she does claim the briefcase...
she will dump his lame arse and really strike out on her own.

Tamina...well...I just don't have an opinion. She is the oldest woman on the roster...
and she has always played second or third fiddle to someone else.

I honestly don't see any benefit in her claiming the briefcase...and to be honest...I
don't think the fans would/will care if she does.

The main points that needs to be expressed is:
1). I hope its a great match...
2). I hope none of the ladies get hurt...
&
3). No matter who wins...it will be a historic moment for the WWE women's division...

While I'm being incredibly positive about this entire situation...I must also state that
its a real shame Mickie James is not being used on RAW. Her experience would have
been excellent in "working" this ladder match.

The same goes for Nikki Bella...and I'm still hoping that she does actually take part
in this match as a surprise last minute inclusion.

It is also sad that while Charlotte is again making history...Sasha Banks is stuck in a
pointless feud with Alicia Fox. The Boss really should have been in this match.

I also feel sorry for Emma...as if she would have been drafted to SmackDown...she
wouldn't have been injured again...and she would have no doubt been in this ladder
match.

Well...I could honestly go on...but I won't.

Rumor is the Women's Money In The Bank Briefcase will be Gold with White trim...

Just thought I'd post that...even though it doesn't really matter.

So I've been thinking about this and I've really been going back and forth on the whole thing. First off, I'm excited that the women will be getting another history making moment (and this time the SD women get a go). I feel like there are some good women on the roster that will do well in this match (unfortunately Naomi, whom I think would do well in this match, will not be in the match).

The real negative I have is that I believe that the MITB should be used to push somebody into the title scene who would struggle to break through otherwise (ie it gives them a chance to elevate to the next level). However, the women's divisions on both brands are so small that anyone on the roster can realistically get a shot at the champion which really defeats the purpose of having the briefcase in the first place. They really need to give it to a heel this year because that is the only way that is going to work.

Well...Carmella fits that bill right?

 

[Crithu]

Well...Carmella fits that bill right?

Yes she does, but she could simply just earn a title Shot since the roster is so small. Personally I rather give it to Natalya so she can have her big career moment.

Either way, I'm still excited for the match itself.
