Had one made already

PTH2009

Confirmed to be taking place at WWE headquarters starting on the ground floor with the case been on the roof

CastorTroy

Yeah the new rules sound strange. Will see how it goes.

Bayley doesn't look right in the poster




Charlotte's there but not Becky. Wonder if that means Charlotte will face Io there

ricero

Well I'm excited and interested in what they do and will definitely watch it so fair play to WWE for that.

Gotta say the innovation of WWE in these trying times is fantastic.

Geez who was messing with Bayley's eyes before hitting save and sending the poster to print/publish...

J. Marston

They're doing the Roman thing where they give people blue eyes in promo images despite them actually having dark eyes. It's weird.

PTH2009

Hope whoever's in the MITB matches are working on there cardio lots of stairs to go up

Jeff Hardy for the mens (if hes in the match)
Lacey Evans for the womens

How many floors in WWE HQ anyways? Especially if the briefcases are going to hung off of something at the very top of the building.

CastorTroy

Isn't it being recorded. Probably be ones using the lift as the fight on the way in then doors open on the next floor and they're still fighting. There would need to be something in place to stop them using the lifts.

MITB in WWE HQ, the elevators are off limits, stairs only :pac:

For some reason i can just picture that happening with R-Truth and 24/7 title

CastorTroy

Just hear the ding of lift, doors open, Truth steps out, sees everyone fighting, "My bad" and backs into the lift

Will both men and women briefcase matches be at the same time and is there a ring on the roof?

CastorTroy

Well the post above seems to say there will be

Lithium93_

"CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER" being the tagline for the show poster. It's a bit on the nose, days after releasing talent/furloughing production staff.

Surely someone in the company could have come up with a better tagline.

Bounty Hunter

Almost expecting them to get to the top floor only to find out their is no roof access and you have to break through the glass ceiling... except it's reinforced and won't smash.

Actually really like this concept as I (like most if ratings etc are to be believed) don't have too much interest in empty arena shows but this unlike them will hold my attention. WWE have to think outside the box to grab the viewers interest now and this has done it.

DM_7

Just had a ladder match at mini-mania and ladder match at mini-takeover so they needed to change it up.

I think they need to vary how MITB is in general as the mutli-person ladder match is over used. Should also reduce number of MITB holders.

Would be good to see something like a KOTR tournament, they already hold qualifiers anyway.

CastorTroy

Maybe it'll turn out both the men's and women's matches are happening at the same time on opposite sides of the building and when they make it to the roof they see there's only 1 case.


I'm worried if Jeff is involved, he's going off the roof

riffmongous

This is exactly what they should do, they've done hundreds of crowdless backstage brawls and hardcore segments before

PTH2009

More people will be more intrigued about what will happen thus viewing figures and word of mouth winning it for wwe

I feel it absolutely has to be tbh.

If they run it as two separate matches, then it's going to be death to whoever goes second. It makes way more sense to combine the two into one massive cinematic match. Doing it as a single match means they can overlap, create breaks (to hide the edited nature of the match not being live), and create genuinely fresh and unique moments that will make the match memorable.

It gives them options to do team ups, too, which could be funny.

The picture of the crane set up actually has two hooks for belts too, looking at it. So I'd say it looks very, very likely.

Oh, I'm absolutely certain someone is going off the roof....

Agent Coulson

They should make it a shoot in a race to the top of WWE Headquarters the winner gets to keep their job the rest get Future Endeavored as part of the Covid-19 cost cutting.

Off the roof into one of those window cleaning baskets.


There is a crane on the roof.

This could be amazing. 16 wrestlers fighting their way up a building and then climbing ladders on top of a skyscraper. It's fúcking nuts!

It's the wrestling equivalent of the movie Rat Race, except it's MITB briefcases, and not $1 million dollars cash on the line.

PTH2009

Have a sneaky feeling Brock is winning the MITB and cashing in on Drew straight away

That will bring the ratings in

Agent Coulson

So which superstar sneaks off and use the lifts first while all the others are fighting.

King Corbin

CastorTroy

Nia. No way will she be taking the stairs

gerrybbadd

They should get rid of the briefcase, and instead, fight for a legitimate brass ring.

CastorTroy

The fact they have to fight to the top to get in the ring and climb the ladder sounds like an extreme reverse battle royal.

But really one of Zelina Vega’s guys as that actually makes sense from a storyline point of view and they’ve already kinda teased it. Also they’ve been featured quite heavily too.

Also also, they’ve already done a Brock Lesnar replacement angle for MITB before, don’t know why you keep mentioning it.

Brock would just get a helicopter to the roof.

J. Marston

Lacey's strategising for the match on Twitter has been very good. Studying blueprints, ladder training and scouting opponents (look at her notes on Nia)...

So both matches taking place at the same time. Both cases above the one ring. Was trying to think which of the guys would help which of the women and vice versa.

PTH2009

Mens MITB
Aleister Black
Rey Mysterio
Daniel Bryan
King Corbin
Ottis
An Other (replacement for Apollo Crews TBD on Raw)

Womens MITB
Asuka
Shayna Baszler
Nia Jax
Dana Brooke
Lacey Evans
Carmella

For the womens i think it will be Shayna or Lacey Evans for the win. All pointing to Shayna winning as the case would suite her character

Mens is hard to call and it would be some laugh if Ottis won it. I think it will be King Corbin sadly as Vince loves him

CastorTroy

Since Carmella won it one year, there's nothing to say Dana won't win this year. I think Asuka has a good chance. They're really liking her these days and can already picturing her just dropping "Miss Money in the Bank" in English in the middle of some rant in Japanese.

For Raw, it would be a bad idea for them to go with Corbin. Not because some people don't like him, but because he's already got the King gimmick. I think if it's not Bryan, it'll be A.N. Other.

Lithium93_

I want either Aleister Black or Otis to win the Men's MITB, either Carmella, Asuka, or Shayna for the Women's.

Agent Coulson

Otis would be a nice pleasant surprise winner.

would be interesting

Could he transition into a serious heel character tho ? or is he destained to be a comedy act his whole career

Bounty Hunter

Knowing WWE there is a better chance that Otis would climb the wrong ladder and win the women's briefcase (than the men's one) which he could then give to Mandy.

Agent Coulson

Now you say that I can actually see that happening.
