WWE’s annual Money in the Bank event lived up to its reputation for high-stakes drama and career-altering moments. Held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, the June 7 premium live event featured two championship matches, the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches, and a star-studded main event. With a near-sellout crowd of over 16,000 in attendance, the night delivered both spectacle and surprise.

Naomi Makes History in a Chaotic Women’s Ladder Match

The women’s Money in the Bank ladder match was a high-octane, emotionally charged affair, showcasing a stacked roster that included Rhea Ripley, Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Alexa Bliss, Stephanie Vaquer, and eventual winner Naomi.

The crowd was hot from the start, showering Ripley with “Mami” chants during her entrance and staying invested throughout the chaotic match. Early on, Naomi stood out, planting Ripley with a piledriver on a ladder and displaying urgency in her attempts to retrieve the briefcase. Meanwhile, Vaquer and Perez wowed fans with athletic high spots, and Bliss delighted with a crowd-pleasing front flip onto a ladder.

Perhaps the most electric moment came when Vaquer performed her signature scissor stomps on Ripley atop a ladder, nearly capturing the briefcase before being stopped by Perez. Ultimately, Naomi emerged victorious after a wild sequence that left much of the field incapacitated. Her win marked a milestone as she became the first Black woman to win a Money in the Bank match.

Dominik Mysterio Retains Amid Outside Interference

Dominik Mysterio successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship against Mexican standout Octagon Jr. in a brief but dynamic match. Octagon Jr. impressed with aerial offense early, but the crowd largely favored “Dirty Dom.”

Despite a botched 619 and Octagon regaining momentum, interference from Liv Morgan sealed the outcome. Mysterio retained in what felt like a match cut short just as it was gaining steam.

Becky Lynch Wins Gold, but Gets Ambushed Post-Match

In one of the night’s most emotionally nuanced bouts, Becky Lynch defeated Lyra Valkyria to capture the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The two Irish stars received a mixed yet passionate reaction, with dueling chants echoing through the arena.

The action spilled inside and outside the ring, with Valkyria landing a flying leg drop over the barricade and Lynch countering with a Manhandle Slam from the second rope. A series of roll-ups ended with Lynch gaining the pinfall victory.

In a surprising post-match moment, Lynch demanded Valkyria raise her hand and strap the belt around her waist. Valkyria obliged—then attacked Lynch from behind, laying her out and possibly setting up the next chapter in their rivalry.

Seth Rollins Reclaims the Briefcase in Brutal Men’s Ladder Match

Seth Rollins outlasted a loaded field that included LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, Andrade, El Grande Americano, and Penta to win the men’s Money in the Bank briefcase. The match started with Rollins being ganged up on by his opponents, only to battle back through a gauntlet of interference and jaw-dropping stunts.

A Fireball ladder, surprise alliances, and CM Punk chants marked a chaotic middle stretch. El Grande Americano and Andrade delivered thrilling exchanges, while LA Knight’s popularity in Los Angeles reached fever pitch with each near-victory.

The biggest surprise came when Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed appeared and disrupted the match, leading to a brawl with Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo. The chaos ended with Fatu slamming Sikoa through a table and Rollins capitalizing by retrieving the briefcase for a second time in his career.

R-Truth Returns in Main Event Chaos

The main event saw Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso team up to face Logan Paul and John Cena in a hard-hitting tag team contest. The match was physical, with plenty of miscommunication between Cena and Paul creating opportunities for the babyfaces.

After Logan Paul hit a spectacular moonsault on Jey Uso through a table, Cena attempted to close the match by clocking Rhodes with a championship belt. Just then, R-Truth made a surprise return, reportedly following rumors of his release, to thwart Cena’s plans. The distraction allowed Cody to score the win, sending the crowd home happy.

Ticket Sales and Venue Stats

WWE’s return to Inglewood proved commercially successful. Held at the state-of-the-art Intuit Dome, the event distributed 16,242 tickets, with only 678 remaining. The near-capacity crowd was vocal throughout the evening, contributing to a high-energy atmosphere.

Final Thoughts

Money in the Bank 2025 combined fan service, athleticism, and forward-looking storytelling in equal measure. Naomi’s history-making win, Rollins’ redemption, Lynch’s triumph and betrayal, and the shock return of R-Truth all point toward an unpredictable summer for WWE’s major storylines.

The road to SummerSlam is officially underway—and if Money in the Bank was any indication, WWE has no intention of slowing down.
