Let me tell you, Money in the Bank 2025 was an absolute rollercoaster. Held at the brand-new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, WWE delivered ladder matches, shocking turns, and championship drama — all packed into a galactic night of spectacle. If you love unpredictability, chaos, and those jaw-dropping “did that just happen?” moments, buckle up — this recap hits every high.
What’s Really Inside the MITB Briefcases?
First off, let’s clarify the loot inside those briefcases:
-
Each briefcase holds a one-year contract that lets the winner cash in for any championship they choose—WWE, World Heavyweight, Intercontinental, even U.S. titles
-
The case contains a physical contract, not some gimmicky item
-
It can be cashed in “anytime, anywhere.” Instant title changes, dramatic surprises—it’s prime WWE storytelling gold
So yeah—those things are sleeping game changers.
Women’s MITB Match – Naomi’s Heel Turn
Naomi stole the show in the women’s ladder match, climbing through a star-packed field: Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Roxanne Perez, Giulia, and Stephanie Vaquer
She strategically waited her turn, tipped over the big dogs, and declared herself the victor. But what really grabbed attention wasn’t just the win—it was her new attitude. Since her heel turn, she’s been aggressive, focused, and now packing a contract that can drop a title at any moment .
Men’s MITB – Rollins, Chaos, Betrayals
What an intense six-pack brawl: Seth Rollins, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Andrade, Penta, and El Grande Americano ascended and crashed through ladders in a 33-minute spectacle
The Betrayal — Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa
One of the biggest bombs dropped when Jacob Fatu betrayed Solo Sikoa mid-climb. He taunted him, screamed “I hate you!” and superkicked Solo through a ladder before jumping off with a moonsault . Pure chaos. If nothing else, that moment set the ring on fire.
Rollins Reclaims the Briefcase
With the match already a mess, Rollins capitalized: Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed cleared the path while Jacob Fatu stalled Solo. LA Knight nearly had the case—then Rollins stomped him and grabbed the briefcase to become a two-time MITB winner . He’s got all the power now.
Intercontinental & Women’s IC Titles – Drama in the Ring
While the ladder matches exploded, the singles title bouts kept us glued.
Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria
In a “last chance” rematch, Lynch used tactical cunning to regain the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. She grabbed Valkyria’s tights during a roll‑up pin, then demanded she raise her hand multiple times, before delivering a suplex and her signature Nightwing finisher That was vintage “The Man” — ruthless, dominant, and unrelenting.
Dominik Mysterio vs. Octagon Jr.
A dream clash of styles—lucha libre flair vs. wrestling heritage. Octagon Jr. shined on offense, but a timely distraction by Liv Morgan let Mysterio lock in the 619 and Frog Splash to retain the Intercontinental title. Respect, but the belt stays with Dominik.
Main Event Tag Team – Surprise Returns & Shocking Finish
John Cena and Logan Paul squared off against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Tension simmered between Cena and Paul throughout—sync issues and miscommunication made it intense
In a twist worthy of a Hollywood thriller, R‑Truth reappeared in a hoodie mid-match—just after Cena smashed Rhodes with the Undisputed Championship belt. Truth cranked Cena’s head with it and disappeared into the crowd, allowing Rhodes to hit the Cross Rhodes and tap for the pin
This marks Cena’s first in-ring loss as Universal Champion and R‑Truth’s dramatic return—officially scripted by Triple H
