    Bayley wins the briefcase and cashes it in to make the Becky vs. Charlotte match into a triple threat, and then wins. Or Becky wins, and then Bayley cashes in on her, etc?

    Perhaps that's giving WWE too much credit, but a guy can hope.

    according to sources, lio rush has quite a lot of heat on him backstage and a lot of wrestlers don't want him in the locker room. the reason? lio wants his wife around him a lot, even during practice matches. now i've heard nothing bad about lio's wife. this all stems from lio's attitude about her being around him.

    I wonder how money in the bank works with a dual champion. Would a superstar just get the title from their brand? Anyways, if wwe doesn't want to run with 2 belt Becky, then mitb is a good protected way to get at least one belt off of her.

    They might want to use it to build up a heel though.

    They've used BOTH women's MITB matches to build up heels already. Perhaps it's time for something different this time. Or it could lead to a heel or tweener turn perhaps.

    And yes, I'm pretty sure that it's a one brand thing. They treat the titles as two separate ones, hence why Becky has to face Lacey and Charlotte on the same show.

    Well, it's pretty much a heel gimmick when used properly. An honorable wrestler wouldn't jump a champ at their weakest moment. The only way I could see it working for a face, was if the heel champ constantly ducked real competition or barely competed like Brock.

    You can play the whole will she or won't she do the right thing with the opportunity.

    well, we've only had two "honorable" wrestlers win the MITB: RVD and cena.

    Time will tell whether or not Becky was worth it.
    true, but they COULD"VE went all in with becky WITHOUT killing aska. that was a choice they made.

    seems pretty plain and simple to me.

    Used as intended, Mitb is more a heel thing. An honorable face will cash it in clean. Sasha would take advantage of a weakened Becky, but in theory a Bayley wouldn't.

    But right now, I think they need to build up more credible heels. Charlotte the only female heel on Smackdown with any real cred, apart from the Iconics I guess.

    Elgin was accused of mishandling and then trying to cover up an alleged sexual assault by a student of his

    It became such an issue, Elgin closed down his training promotion and its led to a number of other legal issues

    It's just very messy

    I think the case against him was dismissed though.
