00:00Jacob Fatu turns babyface, I hate you Solo Sokoa, Naomi and Seth Rollins win the Money

00:07in the Bank briefcases, and in the most over spot of the night, Mr. Iguana.

00:17It's Mr. Iguana.

00:19He's got an Iguana puppet.

00:21Owen R-Truth returns to WWE cost John Cena in the main event and appears to have re-signed

00:25in a huge pivot by the company amidst fan and roster backlash at the decision to cut

00:29him.

00:30I'm Oli Davis, a big thank you to War Thunder for sponsoring this video, more on them

00:34in a bit, and this is my review of Money in the Bank 2025 in about 10 minutes.

00:44This episode of Saturday Night Raw with two Money in the Bank ladder matches was a show

00:48of anniversaries.

00:49The Intuit Dome in LA was where Raw made its debut on Netflix.

00:52LA was where the Money in the Bank stipulation debuted at WrestleMania two decades ago.

00:58The date also marked 28 years since Michael Cole made his WWE debut.

01:03And of course, most importantly of all, the first WWE appearance of Mr. Iguana.

01:09It's Mr. Iguana.

01:10He's got an Iguana.

01:11But before that, the show opened with NXT's women's division Money in the Bank ladder match,

01:16which saw new, but also actually quite established, main roster call-ups Julia, Stephanie Vaker,

01:21and Roxanne Perez take on Naomi, Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley.

01:25The action was good, with several fun character spots, like Ripley emerging from a pile of

01:29ladders to get revenge on Perez, but I struggled to buy into the interpersonal relations.

01:34Unlike the men's ladder match, which had the drama of Jacob Fatou turning on Solo Sokoa,

01:38and the stakes of Seth controlling Raw if he won the briefcase, the women's match, for

01:43me, felt more superficial.

01:45While Perez and Julia have been fantastic in NXT, they've not had consistent characters

01:49since WrestleMania, so I can never really fully get into them working together again, or when

01:54Roxanne inevitably turned on her one-time tag partner.

01:57Just like the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber matches, though, I did think Perez was

02:01the standout again, with the main character energy of targeting Ripley, betraying Julia,

02:06and hitting a code red on a ladder bridge.

02:08The loudest received spot of the match, however, goes to Vaker's Devil's Kiss leg buffs

02:13on the ladder on Rhea.

02:14It came down to the veterans in the final moments, as Bliss and Rhea fought in the ring,

02:18but there was another veteran waiting for her chance.

02:22Naomi, who pushed them both off the ladder to unhook the briefcase herself.

02:26Setting up a neat title picture on SmackDown with Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill.

02:30The Kingo was then shown with the AAA Mega Championship in the crowd, having beaten Chad Gable at Worlds

02:34Collide earlier in the day.

02:36Don't worry, that shot was geo-blocked in Mexico.

02:38There were some other AAA stars like the legendary Dr. Wagner Jr, but never mind that bollocks.

02:44Because then, Mr. Iguana got the biggest pop of the night just by being shown on screen.

02:50It's Mr. Iguana!

02:51He's got an Iguana!

02:54Odds Collide had set up an impromptu match for Money in the Bank, when Dominic Mysterio

02:57had an angle with Octagon Jr for being a fan of his dad.

03:01Liv Morgan was at ringside, but she barely interfered, as Dom was portrayed as a far more credible

03:05wrestler easily retaining the IC title.

03:08Now here's a message from this video's sponsor.

03:49My personal favourite thing about War Thunder, aside from the name sounding like my new favourite

03:53wrestler, is the insane level of customisation, which really makes each vehicle feel like it's

03:58truly your own.

04:27After a good video package recapping their NXT Title Match 2, Becky Lynch vs Lyra Valkyria

04:32had trilogy conclusion energy.

04:34While the start to their feud, Postmania was clunky and rushed, their in-ring work at Backlash

04:39was fantastic, and they were every bit as good here.

04:42Take note Cody Rhodes, the grudge match action started right away, as the babyface Lyra jumped

04:46heel Becky during the ring introductions.

04:48They were constantly back and forth, in a realistic blend of aggression and messiness.

04:53Lyra hit a leg drop off the table onto Becky, draped over the barricade outside, Becky hit

04:57a second rope manhandle slam, Lyra hit a Nightwing on the outside, and they both just got back

05:02in to beat the count.

05:04They were seemingly perfectly matched, apart from one trait.

05:08Becky was willing to cheat.

05:10In a roll-up exchange, Lynch held Lyra's tights to get the pin.

05:14As per the stipulation, Lyra had to raise Becky's hand in victory afterwards.

05:18But Lynch wanted her to put the title round her waist too.

05:21Lyra decided that this respect was too much, so she hit a German suplex and a Nightwing

05:25to leave Becky laying, potentially building a rematch for Evolution 2.

05:29Sometimes you get branded integrations so perfectly matched it's impossible to be

05:33angry.

05:34Of course WWE's PLA Money in the Bank should be sponsored by the Cash App.

05:38It's like a hardcore match being sponsored by PornHub.

05:41Dave Meltzer described WWE's business model on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer

05:46Radio.

05:47There's blank space on screen, TKO wants to monetise it.

05:50TKO's business is to sell sponsorships.

05:52That's their real priority now.

05:54We've already got sponsored matches, sponsored segments, they'll put logos anywhere.

05:59They're trying to turn every frame of WWE content into an ad vehicle.

06:03If they could sell sponsorship for the pyro, they would.

06:07More Dave Meltzer lies and fake news.

06:09WWE aren't going to sell sponsorship for the pyro.

06:12That's ridiculous.

06:13They're going to do it for the ladders.

06:16Because for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match, the best ladder to use was the Fireball

06:19Whiskey branded ladder.

06:21It even got its own backstage segment with the queens to introduce it.

06:24Ahead of the men's match though, we got a fun video package recapping the stipulation's

06:28history and stats, and Wade Barrett ran through every competitor and their chances.

06:33Seth and Solo had their own factions that could get involved.

06:36While Grande Americano is a Mexican wrestling legend, LA Knight has the whole crowd behind

06:41him.

06:42Penta is still taking the WWE Universe by storm.

06:45And Andrade.

06:47Sorry Andrade, I'm just kidding.

06:53Actually none of them have a chance apart from Seth.

06:55But even with that very predictable outcome, which, fantasy booking wise, you'd expect gets

06:59cashed in after Jey Uso's successful title defence against Gunther on Monday's Raw, this

07:04match had a great mix of drama and high spots.

07:07There was Solo Sokoa's naturally fantastic comedic instincts, where he did everyone else's

07:11pose at them throughout the match.

07:13There was El Brundt Americano being the standout in the ring for me, including the show's

07:17best spot.

07:18Him running up a ladder on the ring post outside, swashbuckling across onto another ladder onto

07:23the main ladder to take out Penta.

07:25And there was heel faction warfare, when the bronze took on the bloodline.

07:29But with everyone taken out, Fatou let Solo climb the ladder to then finally yell, I hate

07:35you, pull him down and superkick him in the face, turning babyface against his bloodline

07:40leader.

07:41Seth was then able to climb the ladder and unhook the briefcase.

07:44I guess Sami Zayn didn't care enough about stopping Seth to actually show up at the event.

07:49Triple H asked us if we're ready to double down for WrestleMania 42, not New Orleans,

07:54and then Panic booked an episode of Raw against declining ratings, announcing the King and Queen

07:58of the Ring tournament matches beginning, and Nikki Bella making her return.

08:02And with 30 minutes left for what really should have been a TV main event, we got John Cena

08:06and Logan Paul tagging against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, where Cody was finally in the

08:12ring against Cena after John cheated to beat him at WrestleMania.

08:17Cena dodged him early, tagging in Logan, but then ended up in the ring for Cody to finally

08:21get his long-awaited revenge with a headlock.

08:26What a vicious blood feud over the fate of all of professional wrestling.

08:30The match was one long working over of Jey, giving him more damage going into the Gunther

08:35match on Monday, while Cena and Logan cut him off, tagging Cody… for 12 minutes.

08:40Jey didn't even earn the hot tag himself in the end, making the 12 minutes feel kind

08:44of pointless.

08:45Logan and Cena argued over John's constant blind tags, letting Jey tagging Cody.

08:49From then on, it was an awesome 10 minutes of non-stop action.

08:53AAs, spears, crossroads, nearfalls, one botched buckshot lariat from Logan Paul.

08:58Haha Logan Paul, you're not a perfect in-ring wrestler.

09:01We can finally all hate on you proper l- God damn he just nailed the acai moonsault to the

09:05outside.

09:06Logan actually got all the best spots, including that accidentally wiping out Cena, and having

09:10Cody superplex him while he was filming himself, all from the POV of Paul's own camera.

09:16And then came the finish.

09:18Cena used the championship belt on Cody again.

09:20He was about to ruin wrestling, when a man in a black hoodie ran in and took Cena out with

09:25the title instead, who revealed himself to be a returning R-Truth.

09:32Hopefully this now starts a story where Truth doesn't realise he's actually been let

09:35go by the company.

09:36Cody pinned John Cena, and it wasn't just the babyfaces that stood tall, it was WWE,

09:42for realising not renewing Truth's contract was a mistake, listening to the fans and roster,

09:47and bringing him back in some way.

09:50But what way, you might ask?

09:52And what really went on behind the scenes?

09:54Well, if you ask Triple H, it was all part of the plan, all part of the show.

09:59I'm a genius.

10:00My beard is full of long term feuds.

10:02A USA Today reporter asked Paul Levesque at the post show conference if Truth was actually

10:06released from WWE last week, and how much the fans played a part in him seemingly coming

10:12back.

10:13To which Levesque replied, I love the question, did you enjoy the show?

10:17All part of the show, man.

10:19Not so according to R-Truth himself, who replied to a tweet calling his run-in one of the greatest

10:25moments in history.

10:26Not just WWE history, by the way, but all history that tweet says, presumably ranking it alongside

10:31the end of World War 2, the signing of the Magna Carta and the discovery of penicillin,

10:35and that we all got worked.

10:37To which Truth replied, no work.

10:40A banner then appeared on WWE's official shop of a new t-shirt design for Truth, but under

10:45his non-WWE name of Wrong Killings.

10:49PWInsider then reported, R-Truth is indeed back and will be going under the Wrong Killings

10:54name going forward, at least initially.

10:56He was in discussions with several promoters about appearances and independent booking several

11:00days ago, so the decision to bring him back happened over the last 72 hours.

11:07Then Fightful Select added, R-Truth is back with WWE before he ever technically left.

11:13No.

11:14It's not a work.

11:16Apparently Truth's pre-existing contract had not yet expired, but last weekend he was

11:20notified by WWE that they wouldn't be offering him a new one.

11:24Fightful's sources now claim he does have a new deal under Ron R-Truth Killings, which

11:29Truth's own son posted on his Instagram.

11:31Congrats on the new deal, Dad!

11:33Last run!

11:34Fightful notes that Truth had been flooded with phone calls and messages about his WWE departure

11:39over the last week, and seemed shocked and kind of disgusted, as we all were.

11:45Because it wasn't just WWE getting rid of Truth, it was the nature in how they treated

11:49a 17 year long veteran of the company, reportedly being told by a talent relations employee over

11:55the phone in a very cold and impersonal way, instead of someone like Levesque breaking the

12:00news personally.

12:01Fightful continue that Killings actually ignored many of WWE's approaches during the week, until

12:07Nick Khan took over and called Killings to work out a new deal.

12:11We're told that the deal was a meeting halfway situation.

12:15One WWE veteran told SRS that Levesque isn't happy with the way this has gone down, quoting

12:20them saying, I can tell Hunter doesn't like it.

12:23He doesn't like the fans hijacking creative.

12:27But unhappy or not, WWE made a smart decision, winning back a lot of fan and roster support.

12:32Money in the Bank 2025 is a 3.5 out of 5 show.

12:39Money in the Bank on this very channel soon.
