 Major Potential Money in the Bank Winner Spoiler

Just hours after a historic "Worlds Collide" show with recently acquired Mexican promotion AAA, the WWE heads to the other side of Los Angeles for "Money in the Bank." The PLE is consistently a fan favorite, and the pair of ladder matches offer an opportunity to see a glimpse of some superstars earmarked as future world champions.

The question is, which pair of wrestlers is going to retrieve the briefcase that could instantly change their careers? A recent report suggests those backstage have an idea of who one of those names might be.

According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, Naomi is the hot pick behind the curtain to win MITB.

"Talent involved around the Women's Money in the Bank match think they know the winner," Sapp wrote. "Those that we've spoken to have indicated that they believe Naomi will end up winning the Money in the Bank briefcase. Sources claim that talent has been under that impression for a couple of weeks. We can not appropriately convey enough that we are not reporting it as a guarantee."

Although Sapp explicitly said this is not a fact, all the teases on television suggest this is the most likely outcome. Since her heel turn, Naomi has been one of the most over acts in the company, and the contract has always suited more dastardly characters.
