WWE Money in the Bank 2012: Predictions for WWE Championship Contract Match

Ladders make everything much more interesting.

Put John Cena, Big Show, Kane and Chris Jericho in a ring with each other, a ladder and a chance at a WWE Championship contract, and things reach a whole different level.

Sunday's Money in the Bank Ladder Match is sure to be one for the ages, as there are four former champions competing for their next shot at glory at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

We know there will be mayhem, carnage and everything else that makes matches of this caliber so interesting, but there isn't much indication as to which wrestler will come away with a win and a WWE Championship contract.

All four contestants could seriously use the opportunity to schedule a WWE Championship bout, but, obviously, only one will win.

Going by trends, Cena appears to have the best chance at winning. He always seems to come out on top when his decline seems imminent. 

But, Big Show has a nice chance at winning as well. He's the wild card in this match, and will be one of the most entertaining to see on Sunday night. The sight of Big Show climbing up a ladder, reaching for the contract high above the ring, has me overly excited.

Kane is the most physically imposing and wildly unpredictable of the four participants, but his time has come and gone. It would be a reach to predict a victory for him, but he's been there before and it's not out of the question.

Jericho is going to be the main catalyst in terms of entertainment on Sunday night. It's hard to imagine Big Show and Kane climbing all the way up the ladder to win, given their size and age, so the main action is going to go on between Jericho and Cena.

If the WWE didn't cut down the number of competitors to four, this would be absolute mayhem. Luckily for the paying customers, there is another Money in the Bank match scheduled for tonight.

Cena is the easy choice here. He's still one of the WWE's biggest attractions, he has a much larger fanbase than his three opponents and the WWE stands to make more money and increase their following with Cena heading back towards the top of the wrestling world (if he truly left).

The match won't be over-the-top exciting, but it will be entertainment nonetheless. Look for Cena to win in relatively easy fashion.
