The next WWE premium live event is a fan favorite, Money In The Bank. It should also be a favorite among bettors this year because the show is jam-packed with betting opportunities. Keep reading and we’ll give you three completely-free picks on Money In The Bank, including the two ladder matches!
- What: 2023 Money In The Bank
- When: Saturday, July 1
- Where: O2 Arena in London, England
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa vs. The Usos Betting Pick
It finally happened — the Bloodline crumbled from within. Both Jimmy and Jey Uso have now superkicked their former Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, which sets up this blockbuster matchup years in the making. It’s sure to attract a lot of attention at betting sites for entertainment, and as it stands, the Reigns-Sikoa duo are favorites to win:
| Wrestlers |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa | -230 | -230 | -230 |
| The Usos | +160 | +160 | +160 |
This honestly has the makings of one of the biggest tag-team matches in modern history given how long it’s been brewing. And due to that, we doubt this is a “blow off” match. And by that, it’s the conclusion of the story. No, no, no way. There’s going to be a follow-up — no matter who wins. That long-term plan influences who wins here.
Look, if Reigns and Sikoa win, then the wind gets taken out of the sails of the Usos big time. Yes, they could always do a screw job finish that protects them (and ensures a rematch) but it hardly does their characters any favors. Instead, they need a “moment” that puts them on equal ground with the reigning champion of over 1,000 days.
We’re betting that the Usos win, and that’s where Sikoa enters the equation. You don’t want to pin Reigns who hasn’t lost in years. That “moment” needs to be saved for a bigger occasion. However, the Usos can get the 1-2-3 count on real-life brother, Sikoa. And if so, then we could be barreling toward a singles match between Reigns and one of the Usos at Summerslam the month after. Now that’s how you book this story long-term.
Men’s Money In The Bank Betting Pick
Qualifying for the men’s ladder match is done for as of this publish date. The betting pick to be the men’s Money In The Bank winner will be one of the following six men:
| Wrestler | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| LA Knight | -165 | -165 | -165 |
| Damian Priest | +200 | +200 | +200 |
| Shinsuke Nakamura | +650 | +650 | +650 |
| Santos Escobar | +1000 | +1000 | +1000 |
| Ricochet | +1200 | +1200 | +1200 |
| Butch | +1200 | +1200 | +1200 |
To us, the only two real options to win are LA Knight and Damian Priest. One is the “people’s choice”, while the other is more of a company choice. You can guess who falls into what category — Priest is the office pick, while Knight is of the fanbase. Anyone who’s followed WWE long enough knows how this usually plays out, the office favorite gets the spot. That’s why we’re confidently backing Priest here.
Outside of the Bloodline, no storyline has caught on more in the past few months than Judgment Day. Finn Bálor has gotten his big moment (a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania), Rhea Ripley had her moment (winning the women’s title at Mania), and Dominik Mysterio has broken out (the biggest heat magnet in the company outside of Reigns). Now it’s Priest's turn to get his shine. He’s the prototype WWE star — big, diverse background (WWE’s Latino fan base needs an heir apparent to Rey Mysterio), and delivers in the ring.
Unlike Priest and Judgment Day, Knight has never been positioned as a key guy. In fact, he’s been in the opposite role — making a top star look good (Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker). Going from that to a WWE title contender is way too big of a step no matter how much fans have taken to him and his “Yeah” catchphrase. Simply put, it’s not Knight’s moment yet like it is Priest.
Women’s Money In The Bank Betting Pick
On the women’s side, the qualifiers are almost finished. Two matches remain — Trish Stratus vs. Raquel Rodriguez and Bayley vs. Shotzi. That’s why the betting lines for the women’s Money In The Bank match are a tad longer. Here are your options:
| Wrestler | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iyo Sky | -165 | -165 | -165 |
| Bayley | +260 | +260 | +260 |
| Becky Lynch | +400 | +400 | +400 |
| Zelina Vega | +400 | +400 | +400 |
| Zoey Stark | +900 | +900 | +900 |
| Raquel Rodriguez | +1000 | +1000 | +1000 |
| Trish Stratus | +1200 | +1200 | +1200 |
First of all, we firmly believe that Bayley and Stratus will win their respective qualifiers. Both are huge stars, and WWE would be missing out by not including them due to that star power. But at the same time, none of them “need” this win to boost their careers. The same goes for Lynch, a bonafide star already. So we’re eliminating all three from contention.
That leaves us with Stark, Sky, and Vega. We’re also removing Stark from contention because she’s way too new. She just debuted to the main roster a month ago so no way she’s getting shot up to main-event status this fast.
Bets on either Sky or Vega make a whole lot of sense. But if we could only pick one, then we’re going with Vega. The Latino World Order-aligned Vega is starting to catch on with the WWE audience. A win here could vault her up another notch. Plus, Vega has a great betting value at +400 compared to Sky’s -150.
