Money in the Bank 2019 is taking place Sunday, May 19 with almost every title on the line and two ladder matches that will set the pace for the rest of the WWE's calendar year.
The most-anticipated bouts on the MITB show are the men's and women's MITB ladder matches. Eight men and eight women are vying to win the highly coveted MITB contract that almost ensures a title reign.
While both matches had last-minute changes, the fields are filled with talented superstars and it'll be interesting to see who gets that briefcase. Drew McIntyre seems like the safest bet to win the men's ladders match, how he helped Sami Zayn defeat Braun Strowman last week could set the "Monster Among Men's" sights on him.

Nikki Cross will replace Alexa Bliss, so she's definitely a wild card to win the match but there are some top-tier talent like Ember Moon, Bayley and Naomi included so there are plenty of ways this can go.
There are 11 confirmed matches on the MITB 2019 card. The three tag team championships are not on the line - unless the Kickoff match between SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan and Rowan, and The Usos is changed - as well as the Intercontinental strap because current champ, Finn Balor is in the men's MITB ladder match.
Seth Rollins and AJ Styles will attempt to put a barnburner of a match when they fight over the Universal Championship. Kofi Kingston defends the WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, however, if the MITB ladder match goes on before we can see a cash-in so be on the lookout.
Here's everything that happened on the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
