The WWE Universe witnessed an electrifying night at Money in the Bank (MITB) with remarkable victories and surprising twists. In front of an audience of 17,374 fans, Naomi claimed the women's MITB briefcase, a well-deserved victory that unfolded in a thrilling ladder match.
The show kicked off with the women's MITB ladder match featuring Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, Giulia, Naomi, and Stephanie Vaquer. Despite challenging spots and intense confrontations, Naomi ultimately overcame her competitors. In a clever move, she tipped the ladder just enough for Rhea Ripley and Alexa Bliss to take safe bumps, before climbing up to grab the briefcase. This victory makes Naomi an unpredictable force with her MITB contract in hand.
Meanwhile, Becky Lynch emerged victorious against Lyra Valkyria, securing the Women's Intercontinental Title. In a riveting match filled with high stakes, Lynch's experience shone through. After a heated exchange and dramatic near falls, Lynch used unconventional tactics, grabbing Valkyria's tights to clinch the victory. Despite the controversial finish, the match underscored Lynch's resilience and cunning, furthering the narrative of her ongoing feud with Valkyria.
The night escalated with the men’s MITB ladder match involving Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Seth Rollins, Andrade, and El Grande Americano. What began as a high-octane battle quickly turned chaotic with multiple run-ins. However, it was Seth Rollins who emerged victorious. Despite heavy interference from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, Rollins climbed the sponsored ladder and secured the briefcase, cementing his status as a formidable contender in WWE.
Elsewhere on the card, Dominik Mysterio retained his Intercontinental Championship against Octagon Jr. Despite Octagon's valiant efforts and high-flying moves, Mysterio, aided by Liv Morgan, maintained control and secured victory with a 619 followed by a top rope frog splash.
The night's matches were complemented by appearances from notable figures such as AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo and wrestling legends Konnan and Psycho Clown, who were spotted in the crowd, enhancing the spectacle of the evening.
With WrestleMania set to make its return to Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium next April, WWE continues to build anticipation among its dedicated fanbase. MITB delivered thrills and set the stage for future rivalries and dramatic storylines, ensuring that the excitement within the WWE Universe remains at a fever pitch.
