With speculation ramping up in the lead-up to the WWE Money in the Bank event, a surprising prediction has placed Alexa Bliss ahead of Rhea Ripley, a dominant figure in the WWE Women’s Division, as a potential victor. The debate over who will secure the Money in the Bank contract has taken center stage, with Rhea Ripley WWE Money in the Bank predictions generating intense conversation among professionals and fans alike.
Shifting Spotlight from Rhea Ripley to Alexa Bliss
As anticipation builds for this year’s MITB match, many in the wrestling community have highlighted Rhea Ripley as a clear favorite due to her athletic prowess and strong fan following. However, respected wrestling journalist and veteran Bill Apter has suggested a different route for WWE, bringing Alexa Bliss into focus. According to Apter, the company might benefit more by spotlighting Bliss, whose recent storylines have not given her the momentum enjoyed by competitors such as Ripley.
On the UnSKripted podcast, Apter detailed his thought process behind selecting Alexa Bliss as his top pick. He noted that while Ripley is currently a standout performer, her success does not necessarily rely on a championship win. Instead, Apter argued that others in the women’s division, particularly Bliss, could use the boost that comes with winning the contract.
“I am gonna pick someone that they haven’t found a way to push and yet they wanna push at this point, and that’s Alexa Bliss. I think Alexa Bliss is a, is someone we are not expecting to win, but the fans would like to see her win. Rhea Ripley doesn’t need a win or a belt. She really doesn’t. Some of the other girls do, but I just see this as a way to start moving Alexa Bliss in the right direction. Because right now she is, well she is kinda lost in angle-land.” —Bill Apter, Veteran Wrestling Journalist
Uncertainty Ahead of the MITB Event
The final outcome of WWE Money in the Bank remains unknown, adding to the event’s competitive tension and speculation. While Rhea Ripley is still widely regarded as a strong contender, Alexa Bliss’s candidacy has introduced unpredictability into this year’s match. Both fans and industry insiders now find themselves reconsidering initial assumptions about who will ultimately capture the coveted Money in the Bank title.
The direction WWE chooses for its Women’s Division following the MITB event could shape ongoing narratives and future rivalries. If Alexa Bliss emerges victorious, it could mark a pivotal turning point for her character, shifting attention away from Ripley and potentially shaking up the landscape of the division. All eyes will be on Money in the Bank to see whose hand will be raised this year.
