Event

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Before the show

Preliminary matches

The event opened with the women's Money in the Bank ladder match, featuring Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie Vaquer representing Raw, and Alexa Bliss, Giulia, and Naomi representing SmackDown. Early in the match, Perez and Giulia incapacitated Ripley by burying her under a pile of ladders outside the ring. Upon re-entering the match, Ripley dominated several competitors and used a bridged ladder as a weapon. Vaquer countered Ripley's momentum with repeated attacks before climbing a ladder to attempt retrieval of the briefcase. She was intercepted by Perez and Bliss, with Naomi also joining the contest at the top of the ladder. A sequence of simultaneous Code Red powerbombs by Bliss and Perez drove Naomi and Vaquer onto bridged ladders. As Giulia and Perez battled atop a ladder, Bliss intervened, and Ripley delivered a Riptide to Giulia. Bliss executed a Sister Abigail on Perez before she and Ripley fought atop the ladder. Ultimately, Naomi tipped the ladder, sending both to the mat, and ascended to retrieve the briefcase, earning the Money in the Bank contract. In the second match, Dominik Mysterio (accompanied by Liv Morgan) defended the Intercontinental Championship against Octagón Jr. Following interference by Morgan, Mysterio retained the title after performing a 619 and a Frog Splash on Octagón Jr. The third match saw Lyra Valkyria defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch. During the match, Lynch delivered a Manhandle Slam from the middle rope for a near fall, while Valkyria executed her signature Nightwing outside the ring. In the closing moments, Lynch secured the victory via a roll-up while holding Valkyria's tights, thus capturing the title. Post-match, Valkyria initially showed respect before attacking Lynch with another Nightwing. The penultimate match of the event was the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, involving Seth Rollins, Penta, and El Grande Americano from Raw, and Andrade, Solo Sikoa, and LA Knight from SmackDown. The match featured multiple high-risk maneuvers, including a sunset bomb by Andrade, a Mexican Destroyer by Penta, and a series of superplexes involving several competitors. Americano introduced a Fireball branded ladder as a weapon, attacking multiple participants. Interference from various factions occurred late in the match: Rollins was assisted by stablemates

Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo intervened on behalf of Sikoa. However, Fatu turned on Sikoa, attacking him and performing a Spinning Solo through a ladder bridge. Rollins capitalized by delivering a Curb Stomp to Knight and retrieving the briefcase, becoming a two-time Money in the Bank winner.

Main event

The main event featured Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso facing Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and Logan Paul in a tag team match. Rhodes and Uso, former tag team champions, controlled the early portion of the match. Cena and Paul later isolated Uso to gain momentum, though tensions between the two partners soon surfaced. Notable moments in the match included Paul accidentally hitting Cena with a springboard splash, Rhodes delivering a superplex to Paul followed by an Uso Splash as Paul operated a drone camera, and Uso spearing Cena off the announce table. Paul later performed a springboard moonsault on Uso through the announce table, taking both men out of the match. As the referee tended to the fallen participants, Cena used his championship belt to strike Rhodes. Before he could capitalize, a hooded figure attacked him. The individual was revealed to be

, whose contract had recently legitimately expired, who struck Cena with the title belt and subsequently fled through the crowd. Rhodes recovered and delivered a Cross Rhodes to Cena, securing the victory for his team.

of ''Pro Wrestling Torch'' called it "an exciting, overall solid ladder match with a few dangerous looking moves and nice pacing without overdoing it". For the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, Keller called it "exciting start to finish", and "Seth winning made sense since it give 'sic''the new Heyman/Seth faction extra juice this summer and no one else was an obvious person to hold it and credibly cash in, although there were fun theories and speculation El Grande Americano winning but someone else cashing it under the Americano mask". Although "not everything was smooth", it was a "satisfying, epic feel overall". Tedesco called it "very good and newsworthy" with "some really awesome spots and not a lot of dead air in this". Mahjouri gave it a grade of A, calling it "one of the best Money in the Bank ladder matches in recent memory" with multiple storylines "incorporated and advanced", Rollins being a major threat with the briefcase, and terrific high spots. For the main event, Keller called it "spotty with some highs and some long stretches of lows", but R-Truth's return "overrides pretty much anything else". Mahjouri gave it a grade of A+, stating that although "it wasn't a technical classic", "the back half was great sports entertainment" with a "clever" drone spot, a perfect springboard moonsault by Paul, and R-Truth's return being "one of the best surprises in recent memory. If wrestling is about moments, you won't find many better ones this year". Tedesco called it "excellent", and "for the first part, it felt like a house show tag match, but it picked up in a big way". Tedesco called Money in the Bank "pretty good" and "not a bad way to spend a Saturday night".
