WWE Money In The Bank 2025 Match Card, Participants And Favorites

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 is entering its 16th year as a stand-alone event, and it will have massive implications on the future of WWE.

The latest WWE pay-per-view emanates from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California and features Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Logan Paul and a slew of other top WWE superstars competing for bragging rights and future world title shots. The event is expected to be a near sell-out with close to 15,000 fans in attendance and will crown not one but two Money in the Bank briefcase winners.

The 2024 WWE Money in the Bank event in Toronto had nearly 20,000 fans and was the most viewed Money in the Bank show in WWE history, with a viewership increase of 46 percent from 2023. The 2025 WWE Money in the Bank show should follow suit with a record-breaking show that sets the stage for some of the biggest events and storylines in the months ahead.

The one-hour WWE Money in the Bank 2025 pre-show will air on WWE’s official YouTube channel at 6 pm EST. The show’s main card will begin at 7 pm EST on Peacock.

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Match Card

The 2025 WWE Money in the Bank event features just four matches:

• WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Lyra Valkyria vs. Becky Lynch
• Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul
• Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
• Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match

The winners of the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank matches will have one full calendar year to cash in their briefcases for a world title shot at a time and place of their choosing.

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Women’s Participants

The women’s match features six participants, including two new main roster newcomers:

• Alexa Bliss
• Guilia
• Naomi
• Rhea Ripley
• Roxanne Perez
• Stephanie Vaquer

Tiffany Stratton won the 2024 women’s WWE Money in the Bank match. She successfully cashed in her briefcase on Nia Jax on the Jan. 3 edition of SmackDown to win the WWE Women’s Championship for the first time.

Bliss is the only competitor in the match who’s previously won the Money in the Bank briefcase.

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Men’s Participants

The 2025 men’s Money in the Bank match also will feature six participants, including previous winner Seth Rollins:

• Andrade

• LA Knight
• Penta
• Seth Rollins
• Solo Sikoa

Drew McIntyre won the men’s match in 2024. That same night, he cashed in his briefcase during Damian Priest vs. Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, but he lost due to interference from CM Punk.

Women’s WWE Money in the Bank Match

By process of elimination, both Guilia and Roxanne Perez are mere weeks into their stints on WWE’s main roster, having just been called up from NXT. While both stars are future cornerstones of the women’s division, it’s difficult to envision either star winning the world title within the next year given how they’ve been pushed so far.

Fellow NXT call-up Stephanie Vaquer is already being portrayed as a massive star and would bt the best and most likely choice of newcomers to win the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase. But the women’s ladder match ultimately should come down to three main roster mainstays in Alexa Bliss, Naomi and Rhea Ripley.

Despite Bliss’s strong crowd reactions, she isn’t typically featured in title feuds under her current gimmick. And speaking of gimmicks, Naomi is doing tremendous work as a heel on SmackDown, where she’s getting her first real chance to be involved in an emotional long-term storyline.

The consistent betting favorite to win the 2025 WWE women’s Money in the Bank match is, in fact, Naomi, who just so happens to be the best choice, too.

Naomi has been so tremendous during her rivalry with Jade Cargill that it wouldn’t be surprising to see her rewarded for that with a Money in the Bank win and future title victory. The only real obstacle standing in her way is Rhea Ripley, who is consistently pushed as arguably the No. 1 star in the women’s division.

Let’s be honest, though: Ripley certainly doesn’t need the briefcase. Naomi, however? She does, or else her path to a world title win becomes less clear.

Women’s Favorite: Naomi

Men’s WWE Money in the Bank Match

Much like the women’s Money in the Bank match, the men’s ladder match comes down to, at most, three superstars with a legitimate shot of winning.

There have been no real indications whatsoever that WWE has any interest in pushing Andrade to the world title scene. In fact, he’s struggling to stay afloat in the midcard, making him a true long shot to win the men’s briefcase. The same can be said of Penta, who’s new to WWE and a better candidate to win a midcard title in the near future. Penta is in a similar spot on the card to El Grande Americano, a character portrayed by Chad Gable that will likely be very short-lived.

That boils this match down to three men: LA Knight, Seth Rollins and Solo Sikoa. While Sikoa hasn’t been pushed hard as a singles act in recent months, one report suggests he is one of the top two favorites in the match. Truth be told, however, that ship has probably sailed, as Sikoa has clearly been surpassed by Jacob Fatu and is struggling to stand out without the benefit of being involved in The Bloodline.

Does that open the door for Knight? Eh, probably not. This is the third straight year that Knight, a beloved star, will be in the men’s Money in the Bank match, and he will no doubt be a crowd favorite in the Intuit Dome, too. But if Knight was going to win the WWE Money in the Bank match, that likely would have happened in 2023 or 2024, when his character was much hotter than it is now.

That means that the 2025 men’s Money in the Bank match is one man’s to lose, and that’s Seth Rollins. A previous MITB winner who has perhaps the most famous cash-in of all-time, Rollins is the runaway betting favorite to win the briefcase given his status as a top star and his massive push as the leader of WWE’s biggest stable.

Unless CM Punk or perhaps even Sami Zayn interferes and costs Rollins the WWE Money in the Bank match, then this is Rollins’ match for the taking. After all, he’s the odds-on frontrunner for a reason.

Men’s Favorite: Seth Rollins
