With the unification of the titles, the Money in the Bank will only have one MITB Ladder match. This creates a problem, as only one 15-20 minute match being the main attraction in a PPV, involving a ton of mid carders and rarely ever any feuds makes it feel pretty empty. We either need 2 MITB ladder matches with different prizes or a chance to the main MITB itself.
WWE could hold matches to qualify for MITB, but that would go against the changes they made in the last few years that added increasingly more people.
They could also hold a MITB for an IC Title match...but wouldn't that feel a little unnecessary? I mean, it is a mid card title after all, MITB should be about making it big and a way to push people onto the title scene. A more-than-6-men ladder match for the IC title itself would be, kayfabe-wise, a bigger nightmare for the champion than an Elimination Chamber match. I could see Authority doing it to screw the champ this year, but making it a staple?
They will probably only hold one MITB match like they did at EC. However, the elimination chamber match is for the world title in the RTWM, and involves only main eventers and upper-midcarders, so it has a bigger focus than MITB will have. Does anyone else feel like it will be overshadowed and thus be a little underwhelming?
