Looking at this from a "who deserve this the most" standpoint, it has to be Natalya. For all the work she's put, it sounds very fitting that she gets this reward...

Looking at this from a "who are WWE high on the most" standpoint, Charlotte is the favorite. They've had her become a mutliple time champion in a span of months, be part of the first ever woman's hell in a cell and carry a quite long undefeated PPV streak (one that ended quite abruptly, I might add) so I wouldn't be surprised if they'd give her another "first" this Sunday. Being however she doesn't necessarily need this and being they usually give these briecases to up and coming stars that need to become relevant, I find it highly unlikely it will be her.

Lastly, looking at this from the entertainment aspect, you have to like Carmella's chances only for the visual of having Ellsworth carrying around the briefcase plus the fun promos. The biggest problem for Carmella is the rather indifferent reaction she gets (hence the pairing with Ellsworth) so if indeed the idea is to make her relevant, this would be the best way to do it; in other words, she fits the profile...

Tamina winning would be too random and an out of left field type of a move so doubt it ever happens (I don't even think there's any shock value in this scenario) and Becky I feel just doesn't fit the profile so amongst the three remaining candidates, I actually favor Carmella...

I agree 100%

Again...I agree. Charlotte doesn't need to claim the briefcase to stay relevant or in the title picture.

I like Carmella...but...I think I like her for the wrong reasons. I actually feel sorry for Carmella because of all the "terrible"
booking she's been through since she arrived on the main roster. I hate the fact she was forced to turn heel because of
Eva Marie being suspended, I hate the fact Nikki Bella crushed her at two pay per views and I hate the fact she's been
paired with Ellsworth.

I know not everyone can be a "champion" or "star" but I believe Carmella has really suffered from terrible booking from
the get go and her career as a whole would be in a much better place if she had been drafted to RAW during the brand split.

People go on about Ellsworth carrying the briefcase for her and the possibly funny promos that could be written...but...
I'm kind of hoping that if Carmella claims the briefcase...she cracks Ellsworth upside the head with it and really does
strike out on he own...which I believe was the reason they separated her from Enzo & Cass to begin with.

I think the indifferent reaction she gets has a lot to do with her entrance music...which is awesome...but isn't really a
good track for a wrestler to use.

To understand my point just listen to the start of her theme...and then compare it to say...Charlotte's or Alexa's.
Tamina winning would be too random and an out of left field type of a move so doubt it ever happens (I don't even think there's any shock value in this scenario)
Plus I don't believe there is any long term investment in Tamina...as she is 39 years old and I guessing she doesn't
have that many years left of competitive wrestling in her. Plus...I honestly don't think many people "care" about
her as a performer...which is a shame...because she's always played second or third fiddle to other younger talent.
and Becky I feel just doesn't fit the profile
What "profile"? I'm not sure I understand...

Do you mean that only heels should hold the briefcase?

Traditionally, the winners of these MITB ladder matches have been up and coming stars that WWE decide to push this way in an effort to make them relevant. It's not always the case (Cena won it in 2012) but it's kind of a thing so that's what I mean by "profile"....

P.S.: Agree 100% with the Carmella situation...really bad booking...

Firstly, the idea that Tamina would carry the first ever women's Money In The Bank brieface is laughable.
The grand majority of MITB winners have been heel, so I doubt WWE will move the goal post for the such a historic moment: I predict a heel winner for the first go around.
Charlotte won't win because, from I understand, she just turned face. She has enough momentum in that alone (See Seth Rollins). If she won and cashed in, she could risk getting some boos. That's okay for Ambrose but not for their groomed successor as GOAT. She should struggle a bit to get over the hump (Again see Seth Rollins). Let's not have a repeat of Charlotte in 2015 and Bayley in 2017.
Becky Lynch turning heel makes more sense if they do the right thing and thing and double turned both Lana (face) and Naomi (heel) at some point. That would take too much work though, even though that division deserves it.
I can really see Lynch being a particularly brazen heel. People love her, she's talented but very awkward on the mic: the great makings of a popular heel these days. She's under served otherwise because this Women's Revolution is so young that heels have to be dominant and faces have to chase.

Triple H picked Carmella away from Enzo and Cass because he believed in her ability. She is the most logical pick in this match and the one I would go with.
