In previous years WWE fans would have been looking forward to The Great American Bash at this point in the Pay Per View calendar.
However, following the companies latest craze of re-naming events and fitting them out with a running theme, the seventh Pay Per View of the year is now known as Money in the Bank, and it is set to feature a pretty solid card outside of the Heavyweight title/#1 Contendership picture.

Kelly Kelly Vs. Layla (c) for the WWE Womens Championship at Money in the Bank 2010
With an unprecedented two Divas matches on the card it's likely that both will serve as 'bumpers' to separate the high profile Money in the Bank/World title matches and break up the card.
Of the two Divas matches this looks to be the more interesting, with more of a back story and more chance of interference.
Lay-Cool declared themselves joint Champions after picking up the gold in a handicap match, meaning that either can technically defend the belt, with Layla getting the nod for Money in the Bank over her more experienced partner Michelle McCool.
Kelly Kelly seems to have had the jump on Lay-Cool leading up to the event, with a very impressive win/loss record against the Co-Womens Champions, but Michelle and Layla have proven time and again in the past that they are able to pick up the win when it counts and even the likely presence of Tiffany in Kelly's corner might not be enough to secure her a victory and the gold.
Prediction: The Co-Champions angle still has a lot of room to grow, and as much as Kelly Kelly has improved over the last few months it's unlikely she'll take the gold here. Expect a Layla victory with an assist from Michelle McCool.
Eve Vs. Alicia Fox (c) for the Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2010
There is very little back story to this match, other than the slight rivalry built up by Alicia 'stealing' the title at last month's Fatal 4 Way Pay Per View.
In actual fact Alicia won the gold with a piece of opportunism that even Edge, the ultimate opportunist, would have been proud of.
Since then Alicia has cut some very impressive promos, while her in-ring work continues to be sporadic, ranging from very good to extremely poor.
It's unlikely many people will be buying the Pay Per View specifically to see this match, but if Alicia and Eve are both having an 'on' night, there's a slim chance that it could impress.
Prediction: Alicia has shown more personality and charisma in the short space of time that she's had the title than in her entire WWE career previous to winning the gold, so it's likely the creative team will let her run with the belt for a bit longer.
The Usos Vs. The Hart Dynasty (c) for the Unified Tag Team Championships at Money in the Bank 2010
Edge & Jericho kick-started the investment in tag gold, then Jeri-Show continued to build on those solid foundations and for a while it looked like the Tag Titles were being re-instated to their former glory.
Then Show-Miz dropped the gold to The Hart Dynasty and they quickly faded back into lower mid-card obscurity.
Not that The Hart Dynasty aren't a competent tag team, they are, but since they claimed the gold their screen time has focused more around Bret Hart and the constant attacks from The Usos than the belts themselves.
The Usos haven't really shown that much of an interest in the belts either, seeming more hell-bent on beating The Hart Dynasty to earn respect for their family name.
These two teams have met sporadically since The Usos début, but they've yet to have a match where they can show off their true potential and this bout at Money in the Bank could be just that opportunity.
Prediction: It's a tough one to call as a loss for either team could be potentially damaging. The Usos have been on a roll lately so it's probably time for The Hart Dynasty to hit back with a title defence.
