WWE Money in the Bank 2013

On July 14, two of World Wrestling Entertainment's top stars will compete in singles action at the annual July pay-per-view extravaganza Money in the Bank
.
Money in the Bank is one of the most wide open WWE pay-per-views, but that doesn't mean there aren't Superstars with less than a slim chance of victory heading into Sunday.

Championship challengers and Money in the Bank hopefuls head into battle, some with a puncher's chance of winning and some with less than that.

WWE may have a few surprises in store for us, but the following four Superstars and one tag team are not the men you want to bet on at Money in the Bank 2013. Their opponents' momentum, their characters or, in one case, their touring schedule likely means that Philadelphia fans will see them lose.

One of those stars was the very first undisputed champion and one of the most respected and admired performers of his, or any, generation. The other is a beast of a man, a physical specimen fresh out of a main event WWE championship program where he was pitted against the face of the company and the sport's top attraction. A match between the two would seemingly be a big deal.

Unfortunately, it is not.

Chris Jericho and Ryback will enter Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Sunday night for a match that could main event any WWE production. Instead, they will take to the ring in a match with little story behind it, not to mention a complete lack of excitement. Most damning to the creative team, however, is how little fans actually care about the Jericho-Ryback showdown.

During Monday's "go-home" edition of Raw, taking place just six days before the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Jericho and Ryback did not even interact with one another. There was no video package hyping the match, nor was there any sort of advertising for the bout outside of a quick mention by the broadcast team.
