Now over a month removed from a historical Wrestlemania 36, WWE Money in the Bank will happen on Sunday, May 10th, 2020. Though most of the action will take place within the confines of the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, the actual Money in the Bank matches themselves will take place at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
The premise of both contests, which is slightly different from that in years past, will feature both the women and men starting the match --at the same time -- on the ground level of the building. From there, they will attempt to head to the top floor where their respective Money in the Bank briefcases will be suspended. Whoever grabs the briefcase first (one each for both the men and women) is declared the winner, with those superstars having the right to challenge for a World Championship anywhere and anytime within the following 365 days thereafter.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy WWE lineup picks for FanDuel for WWE Money in the Bark on 5/10/20. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced superstars and value picks on FanDuel. Give me a follow on Twitter @DennisMClausen. Good luck.

Money in the Bank - DFS Lineup Picks
Drew McIntyre, $21 - vs. Seth Rollins (WWE Championship)
McIntyre has had quite the year thus far, winning the 2020 Royal Rumble back in January, and eventually defeating "The Beast" Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 36. Having been the WWE Champion --his first -- for only a little over a month now, the long-term focus for the former "Scottish Psychopath" is to reportedly establish him as a legit star, making it highly probable that he retains, even with the likely outside interference from Rollin's disciple, Buddy Murphy.
While this one may not feature any of the foreign objects that will make the Money in the Bank contest itself so unique, this match could easily have plenty of near fall-falls, along with numerous "Curb Stomps" and "Claymore Kicks" to go around.
Bray Wyatt, $20 - vs. Braun Stowman (WWE Universal Championship)
After Roman Reigns withdrew from his Universal Championship opportunity to face Goldberg at Wrestlemania 36, Strowman was inserted into the match, defeating the legend in a relatively short contest. "The Fiend," on the other hand, had a convincing performance the following night, defeating John Cena in a "Firefly Fun House" match.
Just like in McIntyre's case, this will be Strowman's first World Championship defense of his young career, and while a loss could hurt him in the long run in terms of credibility, Wyatt could easily take back the title that he lost at Super Showdown in February.
A.J. Styles, $19 - vs. Aleister Black vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Otis vs. King Corbin (Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
Styles took a beating from the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 36, losing to "The Phenom" in a "Boneyard Match." After a few weeks off, Styles, who was buried during the affair, returned to claim a spot in the Money in the Bank match. "The Phenomenal One" is the favorite and could end as the night's MVP, especially if he is able to walk away with the coveted briefcase.
There won't be any near-falls in this one, but that will surely be offset by the continued use of particular objects such as ladders (obviously), chairs, tables, or anything else these six men can get their hands on inside WWE Corporate Headquarters. Expect the unexpected.
Nia Jax, $13 - vs. Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Lacey Evans vs. Carmella vs. Dana Brook (Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
Carmella or Dana Brook don't have a chance to win, so the easy pick and favorite heading into the Women's Money in the Bank match is Baszler. However, with Mr. McMahon reportedly not being a huge fan of hers, Baszler's victory may not be as cemented as many would think.
Jax, who has a well-documented history with current Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch, could end up climbing the "corporate ladder" and claim the briefcase as her own, setting up a program that may take us to SummerSlam.
Lacey Evans, $13 - vs. Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Nia Jax vs. Carmella vs. Dana Brook (Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
Jax is my favorite to win the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, but you could make an argument that Evans could end up the victor. Though it is unknown if WWE will acknowledge whether or not the M.I.T.B. match itself is "taped," "The Sassy Southern Bell" may pick up the victory, making it plausible that she could head to Orlando to cash in on rival Bayley, who will likely retain the Smackdown Women's Championship over Tamina.
Even if she doesn't pull off the victory, the asking price is too reasonable to pass up, especially during a bout where you could potentially gain you a plethora of fantasy points.
Also Consider: Bayley ($17), Aleister Black ($17), Rey Mysterio ($15), Big E ($15), Kofi Kingston ($15)
