The feud between Bobby Lashley and The New Day started sometime prior to WWE Hell in a Cell. In fact, Drew McIntyre had to go through them to get a title shot at Hell in a Cell.
Now, Lashley and Kingston will reignite their feud at Money in the Bank. The chances of Kingston defeating Lashley are bleak, but would be quite the plot twist if Kingston wins!
Roman Reigns vs. Edge for The WWE Universal Championship
The Tribal Chief and The Rated-R Superstar will battle for the Universal Championship title for the second time.
Edge fought The Tribal Chief for the title for the first time at WrestleMania 37 in a triple threat match involving Daniel Bryan. At that match, Reigns dominated the ring and won via a double pin.
Following that match, Edge took a break from the ring but recently returned in SmackDown. He attacked Reigns during a segment and the company booked them for Money in the Bank.

This could finally be the match where Roman Reigns drops his title to Edge. However, a possible reason this may not be the case is because this is the first PPV on the road where fans are allowed to return for the events, so the company possibly could aim at keeping Reigns a champion for a while more.
Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair for the WWE Raw Women’s title
The Nightmare and The Queen have been going to war quite often.
The last time they fought for the title, Ripley purposely threw the match via a disqualification. This resulted in Flair winning but Ripley retaining the title.

Now, Flair has another chance at defeating Ripley and taking the title. Considering both of them are capable Superstars, this match could go either way.
Money in the Bank Ladder matches

Men’s match
The Superstars for the men’s match are Riddle, Ricochet, Drew McIntyre, Big E, Seth Rollins, John Morrison, Kevin Owens, and Shinsuke Nakamura for now.
Women’s match
The Superstars for the women’s match are Nikki Cross, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Zelina Vega, Asuka, and Naomi for now.
