Money in the Bank 2024: A Closer Look at the Men's Favourites

Posted by Outside Interference Wednesday, June 19, 2024

During this annual event, WWE Superstars strive to achieve success by competing in the Money in the Bank match, where they must ascend the ladder and seize the opportunity to win the briefcase.

The Money in the Bank contract, a prestigious accolade in WWE, holds the power to reshape a Superstar's career. With the ability to redeem the contract at any time within the following year, it opens the door to a championship title of their choice, a privilege that can significantly alter the course of their professional journey.

The Money in the Bank briefcase is not just a tool for altering titles; it's a catalyst for making history. With an impressive success rate of 83.3%, 25 of the 30 previous winners have managed to win WWE gold, and it has the power to launch a Superstar's career and etch their name in the annals of WWE.

Damian Priest achieved a successful tenure as the 2023 Money in the Bank victor and currently possesses the WWE World Championship. Additionally, Iyo Sky utilised her MITB victory last year to claim WWE gold at SummerSlam.

Looking ahead to the 2024 event, scheduled on July 6, 2024, let's examine the notable names and betting odds in the men's division to dissect the Money in the Bank favourites that are highly probable to win this year's coveted briefcase.

The Unimaginable Heat on Dominik Mysterio

Can you fathom the immense amount of heat that would be generated if Dominik Mysterio were to emerge victorious in the Money In The Bank match? He is already one of the industry's most influential and disliked figures. However, if he were just one step away from being the World Heavyweight Champion, it would generate intense and explosive reactions from the WWE universe.

Furthermore, Damian Priest, who emerged victorious at Clash At The Castle, will serve as the champion whom Dom will actively pursue with the briefcase. That would create highly anticipated television programming every week.

Dom is currently third in the bookmaker's odds, but while he’s one of the favourites, value remains at a +300 price for a man many overlook as a potential briefcase winner.


A Long-Time Coming for Jey Uso

Jey Uso continues to be extremely popular with the WWE fanbase, and when he finally achieves a singles title, it will cause a tremendous uproar in the building. Due to the consistent intrigue he generates among fans whenever he appears on screen, he would be an excellent candidate for holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. While Jey Uso is already a highly popular and successful roster member, this event would further elevate his status.

The former tag-team standout became one of the first qualified opponents for the 2024 MITB after defeating Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor on last night's RAW, so we already know he’s guaranteed a chance to win the briefcase, unlike many other names on the sportsbooks list.

Not only would I choose him as the recipient of the briefcase, but it appears that many others would as well, given that he has already been declared the frontrunner as he sat at the bookmaker’s favourites for weeks until last night.

Indeed, he has been actively engaged at the forefront of the roster for a considerable duration, leveraging his associations with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline narrative to ascend as one of the most esteemed figures in the industry at present. Nevertheless, he has not yet achieved the level of success required to overcome the metaphorical barrier and become the highest echelon inside the organisation as a singles wrestler, which many believe he deserves.

A Returning Favorite in LA Knight

Before Money in the Bank 2023, LA Knight was considered one of the most likely contenders to win the briefcase and become the holder of the Mr. Money in the Bank title. Nevertheless, he was defeated by Damian Priest, much to the disappointment of most WWE enthusiasts, particularly considering Knight's significant progress before the event.

Knight continues to maintain the same level of momentum in 2024, and his widespread appeal provides a valid justification for his winning a global title. If his music were to play and he were to pay in the briefcase successfully, it could potentially generate one of the most significant crowd reactions in the history of WWE.


Logan Paul Makes for Great TV

Logan Paul's victory in the United States Championship effectively generated heat, but achieving the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship would cause an uproar.

Paul's performance in WWE has been exceptional, particularly his skillful manipulation of the briefcase to illegitimately claim a championship title without putting in the requisite effort and time to win it. This cunning act exemplifies the behaviour of a perfect antagonist. Similar to his impact on the US Title, carrying the briefcase would further attract attention to the product and generate interest from fans beyond the WWE.
