I personally am of the mindset that no WrestleMania in history should ever be without a ladder match. Now that the Money in the Bank briefcase is contested on its own premium live event, the announcement that there would be a match involving ladders and a championship had me excited, partially because it was unexpected on my end. It’s even more exciting because it’s a six-pack tag team ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships – and that means twelve guys in the ring vying for the belts. That sounds like pandamonium and chaos, and as someone whose guilty pleasure match is the Money in the Bank ladder match of 2020, that’s my kind of crazy.
Watching the video that accompanied Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis’ announcement on “Raw,” I came to realize just how stacked the men’s tag team division is within WWE. From Legado del Fantasma, to the Creed Brothers, to my forever beloved New Day, and more, there are plenty of tag teams to fill up the coming weeks before WWE rolls in to Philadelphia. It’s all kicking off next week on “Raw,” and three qualifying matches are set already. New Day will take on Otis and Tozawa of Alpha Academy. DIY and the Creed Brothers will battle it out. Finally, the Miz and R-Truth, or the Awesome Truth, if you will, take on Indus Sher. If you ask me for my predictions, I’m taking New Day, the Creeds, and Truth and Miz to go on to the ladder match. Even with just the matches set for next week, if you go with these predictions, you have the insane ladder spots with Kingston, a potential star-making showing for the Creed brothers, and of course, R-Truth zany spots guaranteed to make anyone laugh. I like all of this so much already, and I can already tell it’s going to be a WrestleMania highlight for me this year. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a gimmick match, especially when it involves climbing very tall things in the pursuit of gold.
I think WrestleMania is the perfect time and this is a perfect cluster of a situation to take the tag belts off Judgment Day and start a dissension storyline there moving into perhaps Backlash in France, but maybe even beyond that. With the Money in the Bank briefcase still on Priest, I feel like there are a ton of different directions you could go with Judgment Day, even without the tag titles. The possibilities for this match are endless and exciting, and I’m really looking forward to the coming weeks as well as the match itself at WrestleMania.
