By Graham "GSM" Matthews The 2016 Money in the Bank pay-per-view, which WWE is touting as the greatest installment of all-time, will feature a handful of dream matches including Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and John Cena vs. AJ Styles. Also on the card is the Money in the Bank Ladder match, which has been a summer staple since the inception of the event in 2010. In the decade-plus the matchup has been in existence for, every installment has delivered, but this year's has shaped up to be especially strong. Six Superstars qualified for the high stakes bout late last month and have been at war with each other ever since. But the best part about the match? For the first time in seemingly forever, each combatant has more-or-less an equal chance of winning. Dean Ambrose, Chris Jericho, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Alberto Del Rio are among WWE's elite crop of competitors that have come close to clinching world championship glory time and time again over the years. And now, they have a golden opportunity to retrieve a briefcase that presents them with a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at any time and any place of their choosing for up to a year. While I only typically do these type of articles for the Royal Rumble match (see: Miscellaneous), this is the most excited I've been for the Money in the Bank match in years, so I thought it would be only appropriate to do something similar (i.e. a condensed version) for the annually anticipated Ladder match. Who will walk out of Las Vegas as the new Mr. Money in the Bank?

By Graham "GSM" Matthews While I would have done my predictions for the upcoming Slammiversary event on the latest episode of WrestleRant Radio, I ran out of time to talk TNA on the show with so much else going on at the moment. That said, I really wanted to preview the pay-per-view given that this is the most excited I have been for a TNA show in a several years. If you haven't been keeping up with my weekly reviews of Impact Wrestling, the product has certainly picked up since the start of the year when they moved to Pop TV, and this show should be the culmination of the company's hard work. The undercard doesn't look too promising, but it's the marquee matches that I am looking forward to the most. Each of them have the potential to be something special, and with the right booking, TNA can deliver a strong show that should continue the hot streak they have been on in recent months. Here, I will offer my picks and predictions for every match on the card. Please note I decided to leave out Braxton Sutter's match because his opponent has yet to be announced, though I assume it will be an enhancement talent and he'll win, anyway. By John Napolitano The prediction department beckons, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time to return to the universe of the unknown, the chasm of confusion. WrestleMania XXXII is upon us, and yes, this is the 32nd installment of the event despite what WWE would like you to believe. The Roman numerals are still real to me dammit! This year’s Road to WrestleMania has followed suit of last year’s -- uninspiring. In WWE’s defense, they have been playing shorthanded in a crucial period of the WWE calendar with a disturbing amount of injuries plaguing the locker room. The man who hasn’t missed a WrestleMania since his debut on The Grandest Stage of Them All, John Cena, will not be competing under the bright lights this year. And the man of the hour at WrestleMania XXXI, Seth Rollins, will not be in attendance in Dallas tonight. Despite this year’s lackluster build to The Show of Shows, WrestleMania XXXII still has the potential to deliver in every department. By RJ Marceau Honestly I will not go in depth to the Pre-Show matches or Andre The Giant Memorial so I have Kalisto, Total Divas, The Usos and Kane. It’s sad how devalued the United States Championship has been but at least it will be defended. Here are my predictions for WrestleMania 32. |
