Brace yourself—Money in the Bank 2025 delivered fireworks. From crazy ladder battles to jaw-dropping returns, the event at California’s Inuit Dome kept fans glued to their seats. It felt like WWE cranked the dial to eleven, and boy, did the performers deliver. Let’s jump right into the chaos.
Women’s Money in the Bank: Naomi’s Sneaky Cash Grab
Early in the night, six women battled in a dizzying ladder match. Naomi pulled off a calculated heel move, timing her climb just right. After a series of explosive spots—like Perez and Bliss colliding off a high ladder—Naomi popped the briefcase. Her turn from fun-loving face to scheming heel paid off big time, and she’s now got a title opportunity that could shake the division to its core.
Intercontinental Title Shockers!
Dominik Mysterio vs. Octagón Jr.
A clash of styles—lucha libre meets WWE’s rising star. Octagón Jr. looked sharp with high-flying offense, but Dominik held firm, with a sneaky assist from Liv Morgan, rolling out a 619 and Frog Splash to retain his belt. A respectful showing from Octagón Jr., but Dominik stayed on top.
Becky Lynch Fights for Respect Against Lyra Valkyria
This match had serious stakes—Becky Lynch would regain the Women’s Intercontinental Championship only if Lyra Valkyria acknowledged her as superior. The action was intense: deadlift powerbombs, leg drops, and even a fitting suplex-off. Lynch grabbed a roll-up while tugging Valkyria’s tights and reclaimed the belt, followed by a post-match humiliation that sent Valkyria tumbling with a German suplex Pride lost, but respect might be earned later.
Men’s Money in the Bank: Rollins Rises Again
They say a ladder match is like organized chaos—and this one proved it. Seth Rollins, Andrade, LA Knight, Penta, El Grande Americano, and Solo Sikoa scrambled with ladders, high-risk stunts, and jaw-dropping aerial assaults━━━━━━━━including a Mexican destroyer on a suspended ladder.
Late in the battle, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Jacob Fatu jumped in to tip the scales. Fatu’s surprise betrayal of Solo Sikoa—yelling “Solo, I hate you!” before laying him out through a ladder—set the stage for Rollins to score the briefcase and become a two-time Mr. Money in the Bank The drama wasn’t just in his win—it’s what could come next.
Main Event Madness: Cena vs. Rhodes + Uso & R‑Truth Returns
The tag-team showdown: John Cena and Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Initial chemistry went south when tension bubbled between Cena and Paul. The action was electric—table-spears, superplexes, and a springboard moonsault through a table captured by drone footage.
Just when Cena was lining up a WWE Championship hit, a masked figure leapt in. Boom—R-Truth returned! He laid out Cena with the belt, clearing the path for Rhodes to pin Cena and seal the deal for his team Talk about turning the main event on its head—this fake-out comeback pulled a crowd roar.
