Money in the Bank Preview

Written by: Ryan Sunday, July 11, 2010

Ever since defeating Beth Phoenix earlier this year to claim the Women’s Championship, Layla has had little problem flaunting her accomplishment. And with Michelle McCool at her side, the self-proclaimed “Co-Women’s Champions” tout themselves any chance they get.

But team “Lay-Cool” hasn’t been as entirely “flawless” as they claim to be. Quietly making a name for herself is Kelly Kelly, who boasts recent victories over both Michelle and Layla. Now, in her first title opportunity ever, Kelly is looking to get a victory when it really counts.

Although Kelly has proven she has what it takes to win, can she avoid two potential obstacles – besides Layla – that stand between her and the Women’s Championship?

The first possible problem for Kelly is Michelle. Will the self-proclaimed “Co-Women’s Champion” accompany Layla to the ring at Money in the Bank? If she does, what role may she play in how things unfold?

Secondly, could Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero exert her power in some form? In recent weeks Vickie’s attention has been on Dolph Ziggler and his quest to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match , but certainly Vickie has not forgotten about Layla. After all, Layla won the title in a Handicap Match orchestrated by none other than Vickie herself.

Despite the associates that Layla has surrounded herself with, Kelly can claim the smart, sexy and powerful Tiffany as someone she can count on. If Tiffany is at Money in the Bank, certainly she will be in Kelly’s corner.

Watch live on pay-per-view on July 18 at 8 p.m. ET to see who will return to Friday nights as the Women’s Champion.
