I say one or two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, because I wonder if two might be killing the gimmick a little bit? It's worked for the past couple of years, but it's really only one briefcase winner who stands out. It also adds intrigue as to which title they will go for, and not just when. Plus, the difference between the WWE Title and World Heavyweight Title is no longer associated by brand. You could have former champions in one like last year, but then you're not really "making a star" with it.

How about an eight man Ladder Match featuring the likes of Chris Jericho, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Kane, The Miz and Randy Orton. You've got a mix of established veterans and former World Champions, former winners of MITB itself, the guy who invented the concept and some rising stars. Where's Ryback? You have his spot cost to him when he loses to Randy Orton after Kofi Kingston returns and costs Ryback the match.

I mean, look at this potential Money in the Bank card:

WWE Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan

* Daniel Bryan forces John Cena to submit to The "YES!" Lock and captures his first WWE Championship in a moment that people will remember for a long time.

Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. CM Punk

* Big E. Langston turns on Dolph Ziggler, setting up Ziggler vs. Langston at SummerSlam. Punk is the one who capitalises on this and becomes a four-time World Heavyweight Champion in Philly.

No Holds Barred Match
Curtis Axel vs. Triple H

* It looks like Triple H is about to win the match, but Paul Heyman gets into the ring and subjects himself to a Pedigree, allowing a recovering Axel to grab a sledgehammer Triple H introduced and nail him across the jaw with it and get the pin.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Chris Jericho vs. Christian vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Kane vs. The Miz vs. Randy Orton

* Dean Ambrose wins the match because he is a rising star that the WWE can probably get behind. Jericho is the second-to-last man on the ladder and this sets up Ambrose vs. Jericho at SummerSlam for the US Title -- the only championship Jericho hasn't won in the WWE.

Tables Match
Ryback vs. Kofi Kingston

* Kofi Kingston puts Ryback on a table and goes for a Boom Drop off a ladder onto Ryback, but Ryback moves and Kofi goes through. Ryback then gets another table and powerbombs Kofi right through it to officially win the match and get his first PPV win in like a year.

WWE Tag Team Championship
Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sheamus & Antonio Cesaro

* I'd actually move the titles on Sheamus & Antonio Cesaro here, just because there aren't too many face teams that can take on The Shield, and them losing would be a big deal. This would allow a rematch at SummerSlam between the two teams.

Intercontinental Championship
Fandango (c) vs. Wade Barrett

* Barrett gets his rematch against Fandango from Payback, where Fandango manages to steal the championship by pinning The Miz with a Flying Leg Drop. An overzealous Barrett doesn't only want to beat Fandango, but hurt him as well. He goes for the Bullhammer on Fandango after a pretty one-sided affair in Barrett's favour, and has Fandango's head lined up against the ring post. Fandango is pulled out of the way by Summer Rae and Barrett's arm is then injured. Fandango manages to bust out a new arm-based submission move and Barrett is forced to tap.

Divas Championship
AJ Lee (c) vs. Kaitlyn

* AJ Lee forces Kaitlyn to submit to the Black Widow. Then I would hopefully hear cackling over the PA as Kharma made her return, but I always say that.

Six-Man Tag Team Match
The Wyatt Family vs. R-Truth & The Usos

* R-Truth, simply because he's over and doesn't always job, seems like he'd be a good first target for The Wyatt Family. It's also good to get a veteran on PPV. Bray scores the pin despite shenanigans, perhaps from Bayley at ringside.

Pre-Show Match
Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins vs. Epico & Primo

* A simple battle between two former Tag Team Champions who are looking to get back into contention. This would be a great way to warm the crowd up. Ryder & Hawkins, the face team, pick up the win and move forward, but are attacked by The Prime Time Players after the match.
