Who Qualified For Money In The Bank On SmackDown Live?

Anything red can do blue can do better. With Backlash out of the way, it’s time to start the build towards the next big pay per view with Money In The Bank. That means we need to build up some of the ladder matches by throwing in a lot of bodies. With each match having eight participants, there are sixteen qualifying matches to be taken care of in the coming weeks. Last night’s Monday Night Raw included three of them while there were three more this week on SmackDown Live. So who’s in?

Here’s how one of the matches went down.

Daniel Bryan vs. Rusev - Men's Money in the Bank Qualifying Match: SmackDown LIVE, May 8, 2018

On this week’s episode of SmackDown Live, The Miz, Charlotte and Rusev all qualified for their respective Money in the Bank ladder matches. The Miz defeated United States Champion Jeff Hardy in a non-title match, Charlotte defeated Peyton Royce and Rusev defeated Daniel Bryan. The three of them join Braun Strowman, Ember Moon and Finn Balor, all of whom qualified last night. There are still ten qualifying matches to go before Money in the Bank on June 17.

Opinion: These names are as good as anything else but the dual branded ladder matches make things a little more interesting. With only four spots per match per show, just having one or two names being filled up in a match makes things that much tighter. You can pick and choose who you want in there and that puts the spots at that much more of a premium. Hopefully we get some good chemistry in the match because a bad lineup can finish a match before it even starts.

Who else do you think will be added to the matches? Who do you think wins both of them? Let us know in the comments below.
