WWE's Michael Cole may have no idea the outcome of major matches like Money in the Bank ahead of time

The pro wrestling matches are famously pre-determined. Everyone who tunes into events – small or large – knows that the outcome of the match has already been decided. But that doesnt necessarily mean everyone knows who is going to win or lose at all times.

Viewers certainly dont know. They may have an inkling of who would win based on the story places like WWE want to tell, but nothing is ever 100% certain. Now, how about the broadcasters? A viewer may anticipate that those calling the match, like Michael Cole, already know whose hand is going to be raised at the end of the match. But thats not always the case.

Cole explained in an interview with OutKicks Bobby Burack for OutKick Dropkick that he doesnt like to know what the outcome is going to be sometimes, especially in unique matches like this weekends Money in the Bank. Men and women will participate in separate matches and try to climb the ladder to earn a future shot at a world title.

"Fifty-fifty. Sometimes I do because I need to know where to lead the audience in terms of where stories may be going each and every week," Cole said of knowing the result of the matches. "Of course, were episodic TV. We need to be able to explain to the audience where were going each and every week.

"Sometimes, I dont like to know the ending of matches. The Money in the Bank match is a great example. I want the excitement to take over. There have been some great matches over the years where I didnt know the finish for: The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar when Brock Lesnar defeated Undertaker and ended his undefeated streak at WrestleMania. I didnt know that was going to happen. I didnt know that Seth Rollins was going to cash in the Money in the Bank at WrestleMania. Heist of the Century I came up with on the fly."

The Money in the Bank premium live event is highly anticipated by fans each year. Everyone wants to know who is going to get that push and earn an opportunity for a world title shot.

The mens match includes: CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Trick Williams, Bron Breakker, JeVon Evans and Penta. The womens match includes: Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton.

Cole ranked Money in the Bank somewhere around the level of two other major premium live events.

"Money in the Bank, for us, is right up there. Almost at the same level as the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series," he said. "Not quite WrestleMania or SummerSlam, but its getting there. Its such an important part of our calendar because its an opportunity for a man and a woman to change their entire career and change their lives.

"When you climb the ladder and grab the briefcase, a contract is inside that you can cash in for a title opportunity whenever you want it. And this years field is so great. Theres some veterans. Theres a lot of rookies. So its going to be amazing to see who has an opportunity to really change their life around."

Cole said, for the most part, he wont know the winners of the event and he will have to come up with the perfect line on the fly which will forever be cemented in the winners legacy.

"Money in the Bank is really unique because ladder
