Money in the Bank (2025)

Money in the Bank is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE since 2010, generally held between May and July. Along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, it is considered one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, referred to as the "Big Five". The concept of the event comes from WWE's established Money in the Bank ladder match, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees the respective men's and women's winners a match for a championship of their choosing at any time within the next year.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/moneyinthebank/article/the-completists-guide-to-wwe-money-in-the-bank|title=The complete history of the Money in the Bank contract|work=WWE|first=Jeff|last=Laboon|date=June 10, 2018|access-date=April 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612142427/https://www.wwe.com/shows/moneyinthebank/article/the-completists-guide-to-wwe-money-in-the-bank|archive-date=June 12, 2018|url-status=live}}

Announced on April 20, 2025, the 16th Money in the Bank, promoted as Money in the Bank: Los Angeles, was scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This will be the first Money in the Bank to be held in June since the 2018 event. As part of Money in the Bank weekend, WWE's developmental brand NXT, along with the company's Mexican subsidiary Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, will hold Worlds Collide the same day prior to Money in the Bank at the nearby Kia Forum.{{cite web|last=Lambert|first=Jeremy|title=WWE Money In The Bank 2025 Set For June 7 At Intuit Dome|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/wwe-money-bank-2025-set-june-7-intuit-dome-los-angeles-ca|date=April 20, 2025|work=Fightful|access-date=April 20, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250424231409/https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/wwe-money-bank-2025-set-june-7-intuit-dome-los-angeles-ca|archive-date=April 24, 2025|url-status=live}}

In addition to airing on traditional PPV worldwide and via livestreaming on Peacock in the United States, the event will be available to livestream on Netflix in most international markets and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marks the first Money in the Bank to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January 2025 in those areas.{{cite web|url=https://cultaholic.com/posts/wwe-network-to-be-shut-down-at-end-of-2024|title=WWE Network to be shut down by the end of 2024|date=January 25, 2024|access-date=January 25, 2024|work=Cultaholic|last=Gibbons|first=Aidan|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240125134639/https://cultaholic.com/posts/wwe-network-to-be-shut-down-at-end-of-2024|archive-date=January 25, 2024|url-status=live}}

At Saturday Night's Main Event XXXIX on May 24, Cena confronted Uso backstage prior to the latter's title defense against Paul. Cena commented on the possibility of Uso losing his title to "a YouTuber" and how that would "ruin wrestling", something Cena promised to do after declaring his intentions to retire as champion at the end of 2025. Later that night, Cena interfered in the title match on Paul's behalf, only to be thwarted by a returning Rhodes. Uso subsequently pinned Paul to retain his title. After the match, Rhodes declared that he and Uso would face Cena and Paul in a tag team match at Money in the Bank, which was subsequently made official.{{cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2025/05/24/wwe-saturday-nights-main-event-results-5-24-powells-live-review-of-jey-uso-vs-logan-paul-for-the-world-heavyweight-championship-wwe-champion-john-cena-vs-r-truth-in-a-non-title-match/|title=WWE Saturday Night's Main Event results (5/24): Powell's live review of Jey Uso vs. Logan Paul for the World Heavyweight Championship, WWE Champion John Cena vs. R-Truth in a non-title match|date=May 24, 2025|last=Powell|first=Jason|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|access-date=May 24, 2025}}

On Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, Lyra Valkyria teamed with a returning Becky Lynch to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship only to immediately lose the title the next night in a rematch on Raw, which infuriated Lynch, causing her to turn on Valkyria.{{cite web|last=Tedesco|first=Mike|title=WWE Raw Results – 4/21/25 (Raw after WrestleMania 41, John Cena appears after record breaking title victory)|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/348102-live-wwe-raw-results-april-21-2025-las-vegas/|date=April 21, 2025|work=WrestleView|access-date=April 21, 2025}} The two then faced each other at Backlash for Valkyria's WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship where Valkyria retained, but after the match, Lynch attacked Valkyria further.{{cite web|last=Powell|first=Jason|title=WWE Backlash results: Powell's live review of John Cena vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, Gunther vs. Pat McAfee, Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta for the Intercontinental Title|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2025/05/10/wwe-backlash-results-powells-live-review-of-john-cena-vs-randy-orton-for-the-wwe-championship-gunther-vs-pat-mcafee-dominik-mysterio-vs-penta-for-the-intercontinental-title/|date=May 10, 2025|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|access-date=May 10, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250511063545/https://prowrestling.net/site/2025/05/10/wwe-backlash-results-powells-live-review-of-john-cena-vs-randy-orton-for-the-wwe-championship-gunther-vs-pat-mcafee-dominik-mysterio-vs-penta-for-the-intercontinental-title/|archive-date=May 11, 2025|url-status=live}} Valkyria then cost Lynch her Money in the Bank qualifying match on the May 19 episode of Raw.
