Money in the Bank preview

Read on for how I'd book tonight's Raw and Smackdown Live brand WWE Network special event.
-- Kickoff:
- B. Bros vs. G. Bros:
Bludgeon Brothers take this one. I think they should feud with The Bar next. I'd save SAnitY getting into the title picture for after Summerslam. They should definitely start killing jobbers soon, though.

-- MITB:
- Carmella vs. Asuka:
James Ellsworth makes his triumphant return to make sure Carmella keeps the title. The whole point is that Carmella "isn't good enough to beat Asuka." She needs to get heat from holding the title over "more deserving people" who are good enough to be over without the title.

- Nia vs. Ronda:
Natalya turns on Ronda and KOs her with the women's title to the shock of approximately no one and does the whole "I had to scratch and claw for years to get this opportunity while you get a title shot in your second match" thing.

- Women's MITB:
Becky takes this one. She's earned the right to get back into things after so many losses.

- Bryan vs. Cass:
Cass winning here would leave the feud pretty much 50-50 given how much Bryan has sonned him. Cass goes on to face Jeff Hardy for the U.S. Title.

- Matt/Bray vs. B-Team:
I'm already tired of Matt and Bray, but Drew and Dolph should take the titles from them at Summerslam. The B-Team becoming "Woken" after losing would be entertaining.

- Rollins vs. Elias:
I'm thinking Rollins vs. Lesnar at Summerslam. Seth can point to his dominance as IC champion to get that opportunity. So, he wins here. I'd be fine with Corbin stripping him of the title when he challenges Brock and giving it to Elias, though.

- Roman vs. Jinder:
Raw is really struggling in the heel department right now. One Singh brother is hardly enough protection for the Maharaja. Jinder hires The Ascension to be his new bodyguards, because it's not like they're doing anything else. They beat Roman down so Mahal can win. Roman delivers a lot of Superman punches and spears to Konnor and Viktor in the weeks to come before getting Jinder alone in a cage at Battleground.

- Lashley vs. Zayn:

This has been atrocious. Lashley beats Sami to try to get his aura as a badass back. Kevin and Sami continue to have problems with Lashley and Braun, leading them to manipulate Braun and Lashley into facing each other at Summerslam.

- Men's MITB:
Big E represents MITB and gets the Golden Ticket to be pushed after taking the briefcase.

- AJ vs. Shinsuke:
Another feud we need to move on from. I was for Shinsuke winning at Mania or GRR or Backlash, but this needs a mercy killing so we can get to AJ vs. Joe. Joe does the finishing touches on Shinsuke so AJ "owes him one," and because he's fed up with Shinsuke getting so many opportunities. Shinsuke doesn't get a rematch because he's come up short FOUR CONSECUTIVE TIMES. Bryan tells him to stop making excuses, starting their feud.

More wrestling coming up.
