Smark Out Moment

The WWE Money in the Bank 2017 pay-per-view will take place June 18, 2017 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri and will be a SmackDown-exclusive event. Follow along here for spoilers and information on the event's card, lineup of matches and news regarding the pay-per-view.

Here are my predictions for the 2017 WWE Money in the Bank PPV. Check back for Money in the Bank 2017 results and review coverage here.

WWE SmackDown Money in the Bank 2017 Spoilers

Money in the Bank Ladder Match: AJ Styles vs. Baron Corbin vs. Sami Zayn vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kevin Owens

I still think it is totally dumb that this is a SmackDown-exclusive match instead of being a co-branded match at SummerSlam, and I'm very curious why Rusev isn't being brought into the mix at all. This is going to be a huge match to look out for as far as the booking for the rest of the year for SmackDown, so I hope WWE has a good plan.

PREDICTION: Baron Corbin becomes Mr. Money in the Bank for 2017


WWE Championship Match: Jinder Mahal (c) vs. Randy Orton

Boy did I have to change this prediction, didn't I? I figured it would be Orton defending the title against Rusev, but I stand corrected with Jinder Mahal winning the championship at Backlash.

PREDICTION: Randy Orton wins the title back, unless John Cena is somehow going to be set up to defeat Mahal at SummerSlam.


Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya vs. Carmella vs. Tamina

I'm very happy to see that this match is happening, as it should have happened years ago. The downside to this is that this isn't in a non-brand split era where all of the women (including the ones on Raw) can't be involved instead, fighting for one championship belt.

PREDICTION: The easy pick is Charlotte, but I think that's too easy. I'm going with Carmella.


SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos (c) vs. The New Day

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that The Usos retain the titles here for a shock, but I do have to lean much more heavily toward The New Day becoming the new champions, because, well, they're The New Day.

PREDICTION: The New Day take the belts.


SmackDown Women's Championship Match: Naomi (c) vs. Lana

Quite a big step up from being a total rookie to getting a title shot, right? Still, I'm interested to see what Lana has to offer in the ring.

PREDICTION: Naomi can't drop the title to Lana.

Pre-Show Kickoff Match: The Hype Bros vs. The Colons

Why is this not The Fashion Police against The Colons? That seems strange. If they wanted The Hype Bros to just beat somebody, they could have beaten The Ascension.

PREDICTION: The Hype Bros win.
