00:00To a guaranteed world title opportunity.
00:08Welcome to Money in the Bank.
00:15Hello again everybody at ringside.
00:16I'm Michael Cole, the incomparable Pat McAfee from Monday Night Raw,
00:20and the legendary Wade Barrett from Friday Night SmackDown.
00:23Legendary, wow, that's big.
00:25But today we are all celebrating an anniversary, 28 years to the day,
00:30since the great Michael Cole made his play-by-play debut here on Shotgun.
00:35Congrats, Michael Cole.
00:37Let's see if I can do a little bit better tonight.
00:38Also joining us our Spanish colleagues,
00:40just across the way, Marcelo Rodriguez and Jerry Soto.
00:43Amigos, amigos.
00:44We continue making history in Los Angeles.
00:46It was early, and now it's got to Money in the Bank.
00:49We make history once and again.
00:52But who will take each belt?
00:54Who will be the ladies and gentlemen in the bank?
00:58We'll see you soon soon, here in Los Angeles, live in Los Angeles.
01:01Thank you very much.
01:06Ladies and gentlemen, let's head up to the ring.
01:08And the great, Alicia Taylor.
01:14The following is the Women's Money in the Bank letter match.
01:24In this match, there are no count outs, no disqualifications, no pinfalls or submission.
01:35The only way to win is to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase, which contains a contract
01:45for a guaranteed championship match, any time, any place, for up to a year.
01:57Introducing Burst, from Columbus, Ohio.
01:59Introducing Burst, from Columbus, Ohio.
02:00Introducing Burst, from Columbus, Ohio.
02:02Alexa Bliss.
02:08This is Ringy PS4.
02:10How exciting is it?
02:11How exciting is it?
02:13How many hours work happened to the world did anything you put in for
02:15Japir's Money in the Bank?
02:16It wasn't the time to be the most painful for you, in the way.
02:17When is he registered the board?
02:18Put your community in the bank to make sure you steal your unit thanks to your main
02:28board, which made their order of all- dua-gua is everywhere.
02:30Don't let the freaky old doll get under your skin.
02:38Alexa Bliss knows what it takes to win money in the bank.
02:42Back in 2018, Wade, Alexa Bliss won the contract and
02:47on the very same night, cashed in on Nia Jax to become a world champion.
02:52Freaky old doll, that is a reincarnated Lily doll that is effectively
02:57the North Star of Alexa Bliss.
03:01She's made a couple of shocking surprise returns already this year.
03:06But it would not be a shock whatsoever if Alexa Bliss grabs the money in the bank
03:11contract this evening.
03:13That all might help but Alexa's ready.
03:16More time in Alexa's career that she's in this match.
03:27Next, from Laredo, Texas, Roxanne Perez.
03:41The prodigy qualified for her very first money in the bank contract ladder match
03:46by beating Natalya and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match.
03:51It has been an incredible year for Roxanne Perez.
03:55She set a record in the Women's Royal Rumble, lasting over one hour in seven minutes.
04:00She was in the elimination chamber.
04:03And of course, now a part of the Monday Night Raw roster and
04:05a chance once again, Pat, to make history tonight.
04:07Yeah, the prodigy is a perfect moniker for Roxanne Perez.
04:12Started training when she was 15 years old.
04:14Knew she was born for this industry.
04:16And all she has done has dominated and had success.
04:20Damn near flawless in the ring.
04:22Could certainly see her climbing that ladder and changing her,
04:26her family, and all of wrestling lives forever.
04:29She has won the very best in her,
04:33and she is always waiting for her.
04:35And I'm looking for her.
04:37She lost her car.
04:37She lost her car.
04:38I'm looking for her.
04:39She's複数 now.
04:40I'm looking for her.
04:42She's amazing.
04:43I'm looking for her.
04:44I'm looking for her.
04:45I'm looking for her.
04:46She's too very close to her.
04:48She's too very close to my heart.
04:50And you know.
04:52Yeah, I'm looking for her.
04:53However, what yeah.
04:55From Orlando, Florida, Naomi!
05:25Naomi beat both Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in a triple threat match to qualify here tonight.
05:31And, Wade, Naomi makes history tonight.
05:34She ties both Becky Lynch and Natalya for being in the most Women's Money in the Bank
05:38contract ladder matches ever tonight, her fifth appearance.
05:43Well, let me tell you right now, you can throw the record box out of the window.
05:46Those first four appearances by Naomi, this is a very different woman.
05:53Proceed with caution, more cutthroat, more demented, more dangerous than ever.
05:59This, perhaps, is the night that Naomi finally gets the job done in Money in the Bank.
06:05Naomi has flipped a switch.
06:08Is it the right one for Money in the Bank?
06:14I think so, actually, there's a chance.
06:16Well, all of these six women in the match were tagging last night on SmackDown.
06:21Naomi turning her back on Roxanne and throwing it to the walls.
06:25Every woman for us out tonight.
06:27Every woman for us out tonight.
06:32From San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie Baccaire.
07:00Man, the mood changes when La Primera enters the building.
07:06This is Stephanie Baccaire's third match in the last 24 hours.
07:11She was in a tag match last night on SmackDown.
07:14She was victorious with Lola Vice in a tag team matchup earlier today.
07:18And rolls collide across the parking lot of the Kia Forrest.
07:22And tonight, Wade, she does it again in her first ever ladder match here in WWE.
07:27Yeah, for me, that is a suicide mission.
07:30Look, historically, these kind of matches, Money in the Bank ladder matches,
07:34are not over quickly.
07:36These are marathon affairs.
07:38So good luck being victorious tonight when you're starting off severely sub 100%.
07:44How lucky you're gonna have Stephanie on Monday Night Raw?
07:47She's special.
07:48She is phenomenal.
07:51She is stupendous.
07:52She can pull it off, Wade.
07:54Don't be done.
07:56If I care.
07:57From Tokyo, Japan, Julia.
08:18The beautiful madness that is Julia.
08:23And we learned last night, Wade, that not only does she have her sights set on Money in the Bank,
08:28but she has her sights set on Zelina Vega and the Women's United States Championship.
08:33Yeah, Zelina Vega got herself a whooping last night at the hands of Julia,
08:39as did the Secret Hervis.
08:42Julia out for anything that moves right now and is desperately seeking gold.
08:47Grab that briefcase, cash in the contract on any champion, on any brand.
08:53And gold is coming to you soon, Julia.
09:17So here we go, gentlemen.
09:22Someone's career will take a very drastic turn.
09:25Not yet, not yet.
09:26Tonight.
09:26This is what we're doing.
09:31Let Marvin blow the roof off the place first, Cole.
10:02Here's from Adelaide South Australia, Rhea Ripley.
10:22That is what they call a fake out way so
10:25I can get the crowd much more hype for the entrance of Rhea bloody Ripley.
10:30Ladies and gentlemen, Rhea Ripley to many the favorite coming into this matchup.
10:33However, she is at a disadvantage.
10:36Rhea has never been in a ladder match in her entire career.
10:41I spoke with her earlier today, she admitted she had some butterflies.
10:45Didn't quite know what to expect heading into this match tonight.
10:48Will that affect her, Pat?
10:50I think everything that Rhea Ripley has accomplished has led her to a moment
10:55of being confident in any match that she is in.
10:59She's a favorite anything she does.
11:02So a ladder match, she's never done it before.
11:04I assume Rhea Ripley's gonna master it quickly and
11:08everybody else is gonna have to feel her brutality.
11:12Rhea Ripley defeated Kairi Sane and
11:14Zoey Stark to qualify.
11:15Shout out to Zoey Stark who is on the mend with the injured knee.
11:19Positive prayers and vibes to Zoey Stark from all of us.
11:22Now, let's change somebody's career, Cole.
11:25Here we go, one of these women will earn a guaranteed world title opportunity.
11:31Every woman for herself tonight.
11:37A mixture of veterans and newcomers.
11:40Naomi's fifth Money in the Bank contract ladder match.
11:44The first for Roxanne, and Julia, and Stephanie, and of course Rhea Ripley.
11:49Alexa Bliss, a former winner.
11:51OG's taking on the young bucks here.
11:55Straight into the heavy artillery, throwing fists in a scenario like that.
11:59Given the six competitors, I back Ripley every single time.
12:05Three experienced, three brand new.
12:07And Naomi now, sending Alexa Bliss into Rhea Ripley.
12:12And it'll be Stephanie Bacare trying to introduce the first ladder of this match.
12:18And Naomi made her pay.
12:19Again, Naomi the veteran in this matchup.
12:22She knows all the tricks of Money in the Bank.
12:24Plus one more bruise added to Stephanie Bacare's collection over the past 24 hours.
12:30If she's gonna be victorious tonight, there's gonna be about 300 more added to that frame.
12:35Now, Alexa Bliss, as Rhea Ripley uses her as a weapon.
12:40Yeah, they made an agreement right there beforehand, seemingly shook hands.
12:44Let's get this down to one-on-one.
12:47Alexa Bliss and Mommy.
12:55Alexa goes right out to the ladder as Julia and Stephanie Bacare, Roxanne Perez now in the ring.
13:00Stephanie outside the ring, looking on.
13:03Again, to Wade's point.
13:04Stephanie went through a lot in the past 24 hours.
13:07Have you ever had to wrestle three matches in 24 hours?
13:10Hell no, I had to quit on the spot.
13:12But wait a second, two women who distinctly dislike each other.
13:16And now Stephanie Bacare with a springboard cross body.
13:20Now all three of these women over the past six months exchanged the NXT championship several times.
13:26Roxanne and Julie had a brief tag team with you guys over on Raw.
13:31Certainly no love lost between any of them.
13:33And the future's so bright in WWE, and you're looking at it right now.
13:38Jeez!
13:42Stephanie Bacare with a big smile on her face after taking out Roxanne Perez.
13:48Her third match in how many hours?
13:5024.
13:50Not even.
13:51It's less than that.
13:52It must be 20 at this point.
13:54And Naomi, the kick right to the side of the head.
13:57I don't know how she got her foot over top of that ladder.
13:59Incredible flexibility.
14:01And athleticism from Naomi, who is now taking control.
14:05Yeah, face first, and Naomi has cleared the ring for perhaps an opportunity
14:10to climb the ladder and grab the contract.
14:13Naomi just so cutthroat ever since throwing Jay Cargill through a car windshield
14:19six months ago.
14:20Now looking to really make good on the promise that has been there for 15 plus years.
14:25Bang!
14:26Rhea Ripley bounced off the ladder and Naomi dominating right now.
14:31This Naomi with the Money in the Bank briefcase would be dangerous to the
14:35entire women's locker room.
14:39Just received a text message from the woman that Alexa Bliss cashed in on in 2018.
14:46She was champion at that point, Nia Jax.
14:48Had some interesting words for you, Mr. McAfee.
14:52Yeah, I read your font, which is obvious.
14:55Alexa Bliss!
14:57Alexa Bliss on the offense.
15:00Michael Cole's font on his phone is at 200 size, so I could read it.
15:04Nia Jax told me to shut up.
15:06Nia Jax, why don't you watch some greatness at Money in the Bank?
15:09And Alexa now trying to set up the ladder.
15:11Julia now, wow, what a kick.
15:13Last time you started talking smack McAfee, you ended up in the ring getting
15:17battered by the ring general.
15:19Be very careful what you say about Nia Jax.
15:21Amen, brother.
15:23You're right.
15:23Nia, I apologize.
15:24I wish you were here.
15:26Julia, former NXT Women's Champion, NXT Iron Survivor, challenger.
15:31Of course, made her name a spectacular star in Japan.
15:36Global sensation is Julia.
15:38And she is very comfortable in between those rows.
15:42A disaster, and Alexa Bliss bounced off the ladder.
15:47Julia is so elegant, but so fierce with her fighting style.
15:53Hence the beautiful madness.
15:57Beautiful madness as the ladder fell there.
15:59And quite the rivalry in NXT between these two.
16:03Julia with a knee right to the face of McAer.
16:05Both hired around the same time, both massive global stars,
16:09both massive weights of expectations on their shoulders.
16:13I feel like Julia and Vaka are gonna be career long rivals here in WWE.
16:18Yeah, both expected to be world champions as well.
16:21Go ahead and climb that ladder, grab that briefcase.
16:23Maybe you can punch that ticket a little bit earlier than expected for
16:26the career path as Rhea Ripley now dragging herself up to the apron.
16:33Rhea and Julia, a little bit of history on Raw.
16:37For a few months and out, Ripley with a big forearm and back into the ring.
16:41And here comes, Mami in control, Julia into the corner.
16:44Ripley has such an intimidating aura.
16:48And that is why relative newcomers like Julia, like Vaka, like Roxanne,
16:54should know it's best to steer clear, if possible, in this kind of match.
16:59And remember, Rhea has had success in this building.
17:02The Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, she beat Liv Morgan to win the world championship.
17:07Back on the season premiere of Monday Night Raw on Netflix in January.
17:12Rhea has had success in every building, every town, every continent,
17:15as she delivers a massive knee to the prodigy.
17:17Such a power disparity between Perez and Rhea-
17:22And perhaps Rhea Ripley and anyone else in this match.
17:26Rhea Ripley looks like she's only gotten stronger as well, back, wider than ever.
17:36Able to pick up Naomi, dump her onto the ladder.
17:38Rhea Ripley not even trying to set up that ladder and start climbing.
17:44Damage has not been completed yet, five women need further beat downs.
17:50That's experience, that's the veteran factor.
17:53Yeah, again, Wade, a great point.
17:55Rhea knows it's a bit too early to climb the ladder, so
17:57she's gotta do more damage to her opponents.
18:00Very different, it's a one-on-one ladder match in a six-woman ladder match.
18:04There's always a woman fresh waiting to stop you.
18:07Gut wrench, up in to the position for the Razors, and my goodness.
18:14Wow.
18:14What a counter by Roxanne, driving Rhea Ripley into the ladder.
18:18And now Roxanne with an opportunity.
18:21And Perez, springboard moonsault into Rhea, into the ladder.
18:26Roxanne Perez, Hurricane Rotter, springboard moonsault.
18:32That just shows you in a nutshell right there, Pat, the brilliance of Roxanne Perez.
18:37Seconds away from imminent disaster, turns it into a massive offensive move.
18:42And now potentially, it's gonna be the woman to scale the height.
18:46Yeah, perhaps seconds away from copying off what has already been an incredible 20-25.
18:52Perez climbing the ladder.
18:54Roxanne Perez now intercepted by Alexa Bliss, who drags Perez off the ladder.
18:59See a lot of that tonight, catching an ankle is a match-saving move.
19:04And now Bliss sent out of the ring.
19:06And now it's Julia and Roxanne Perez, two of the young superstars in WWE today.
19:11Look at a cross at one another, former enemies, former teammates, now climbing the ladder at
19:16the same pace, at the same time, but Rhea Ripley playing defense.
19:20Both of these women, Perez and Julia, looking to turbo charge their careers.
19:26Get to that main event level in the first year here on Raw and SmackDown.
19:32Of course, get those main event paychecks while you're at it.
19:35Yeah, and again, interesting move here, Bolton gonna climb the ladder.
19:38Rhea Ripley was coming too, and now, Julia and Perez trying to work together as a team.
19:43And finally, it pays off.
19:45That's a little bit about being brand new with the ladders there.
19:48Now dumping another ladder onto Rhea.
19:54Kept locking up on them, they were able to adjust, still able to squash Rhea Ripley.
19:58And right there, that's the problem with having the aura of Ripley, having the resume of Ripley,
20:04being the favorite in this match.
20:06Every other woman in the match knows it, and it behooves them to team up against you first and foremost.
20:12Yeah, Rhea Ripley had to know that everybody else was gonna wanna eliminate her,
20:16especially the two rooks.
20:19And we mentioned it's every woman for herself in this match.
20:23But you will see temporary alliances form, like is going on now.
20:28Mm, it's a brilliant move if they're doing what I think they're doing.
20:33Look at- Smack those ladders, bury Rhea Ripley.
20:38Bury Rhea and bury her chances of winning this match in the process.
20:43This year, perhaps, will not be the year of Mammy in the Bank.
20:46Well, wait a minute, guys, because Naomi is in the ring all by herself as Julie and
20:51Roxanne are more worried about burying Rhea Ripley.
20:55Naomi is gonna put her in self-position to perhaps win this match.
20:58She's the only one up.
21:00She's the only one in the ring.
21:02Stephanie Bacare.
21:04And Stephanie now playing defense, trying to prevent Naomi,
21:08rips her back down to the mat, and now the slugfest begins.
21:12I'll tell you right now, this kind of match, there's an element of strategy,
21:15playing possum on the outside, just cuz you're fresh, just cuz you can.
21:20Jump back in the ring immediately, stay out of danger, wait to pick your spot.
21:25Wait till everyone else's guard is down.
21:27And now Stephanie Bacare doing just that, taking out Naomi,
21:31taking out Julia, taking out Roxanne Perez.
21:33Stephanie.
21:39And a dragon screw, and Naomi just screaming in pain.
21:44Her knee just ripped apart by Bacare.
21:47I don't know how much strategy went into that move from Bacare, but
21:50try climbing a ladder with shredded ligaments and tendons in your knee.
21:55Good luck from here, Naomi.
21:57Snap suplex by Stephanie Bacare, who may have put herself in position to claim
22:02the briefcase, grab the contract, change her career here at WWE.
22:07Now it's Julia, the beautiful madness dragging left from Mira down to the ring.
22:13This would make sense for Stephanie Bacare to be able to win this.
22:19But Julia knows Stephanie better than anybody else in the entire WWE.
22:24And with Julia on her back, Stephanie is gonna try to climb the ladder.
22:27Gonna try to scale the ladder with Julia on her back.
22:31Three matches in 18 hours, climbing a ladder with another adult on her back.
22:37Stephanie Bacare.
22:38Bacare is just depleted, understandably so, and that was just too much.
22:42Completed, she just carried a woman halfway up the ladder.
22:44She's in a third match in 24 hours, Wade.
22:47She made her way halfway up because she is depleted.
22:50Had she been fresh, had she not competed in Bakersfield and earlier today,
22:55Michael Cole, perhaps she would have been able to make it to the top.
22:59Man, you are a spin doctor.
23:00And now it's Julia's turn.
23:02Julia trying to climb the ladder now.
23:04Will it be Julia's opportunity?
23:06Naomi hobbling around on one leg after the dragon screwed by Bacare.
23:11And now Naomi.
23:13She places Julia within the ladder.
23:14Julia does not wanna be there.
23:15Wow.
23:17Naomi.
23:19She's just a different cat, Wade.
23:20You said it earlier.
23:21This is not the Naomi that people have known for many years here at WWE.
23:25Ask Jade about it, ask Nia about it.
23:27Dumped right on the back of her head, but Julia's hung up now.
23:32Now Alexa Bliss with a drop kick.
23:34So inventive of Julia's power.
23:36That German suplex halfway up the ladder, but left herself completely unprotected in the process.
23:42Bliss talked a lot about how winning the contract the first time around,
23:45cashing in on the same night, changed everything for her.
23:48She went to a global superstar in one night.
23:50And now Alexa Bliss climbing the ladder, trying to grab the contract.
23:54On the other side of things, Roxanne Perez trying to make it up there as well.
23:58Alexa Bliss fingertips away.
24:00He's gotta go up at least another rung, and now it allows Roxanne to get to the top as well.
24:04And now Roxanne and Alexa Bliss moments away from the briefcase.
24:08It's the part of the match where competitors start punishing.
24:11You see anyone above halfway on that ladder, your chances are slipping away,
24:16perhaps three seconds away from losing your big opportunity.
24:20Do what you can to put an end to it.
24:22Stephanie McCair gets her own ladder out here, Cole.
24:24And now it's Stephanie climbing, trying to climb at the top of the ladder as Roxanne and
24:28Alexa trying to take each other out.
24:29And now Naomi, gingerly making her way up the ladder, on a bad knee.
24:33Alexa Bliss now from behind.
24:35Someone's gonna have a real bad landing coming up soon.
24:39And now it's Julia trying to steal one.
24:44Pathbreaker from Alexa Bliss on Naomi, Julia.
24:47And Alexa now turning her attention to Stephanie McCair.
24:51What a power bomb.
24:52I'm gonna hope in this position, the other women tie themselves up with each other.
24:58Give you a unrestricted pathway to the top.
25:02And Alexa Bliss, you notice how Julia and Roxanne bailed off the ladder before Bliss could connect.
25:07That was a great move, keep themselves fresh there.
25:09Yeah, really smart.
25:10Take that landing.
25:11And you know you're going down, but land as safely as you possibly can, given the circumstances, and stay in the firefight.
25:17You see Julia helping out Roxanne once again against Alexa Bliss.
25:22Previously, it was against Rhea.
25:24Feels like you can see the generations battling here at Money in the Bank.
25:28These young up and comers, I agree, Pat, they know full well the threat that the veterans who've been here, done it before, they know full well they're the favorites.
25:36You gotta do something to shake things up.
25:39They wanna say we're the future now.
25:41And a double team again by Julia and Roxanne.
25:45And it's funny, we call them the young up and comers.
25:48Julia and Stephanie have made their name across the world.
25:51Roxanne Perez has dominated NXT for a number of years.
25:55They're working together here, and they are demolishing people.
26:02Alexa Bliss broken over a ladder.
26:04So wait, this is the strangest relationship between these two.
26:08Well, it will behoove them both to carry on working together.
26:11And now, well, you knew that was coming, do not turn your back.
26:15Dross goes out the window, there's so much at stake here.
26:19Who can stab, who in the back first, and of course, it's Perez.
26:23So if Roxanne Perez wins the Money in the Bank contract, what does that do for
26:27her standing in Judgment Day?
26:29Does she become a full-fledged member then?
26:32Well, Judgment Day are in desperate need of power infusions.
26:35Uh-oh.
26:36God.
26:37Roxanne Perez realizes she's stuck.
26:42Rhea Ripley coming out of the rubble and the wreckage and
26:47driving Perez into the barricade.
26:49Undertaker Giff out of the ladders, Rhea Ripley's back in charge.
26:54Mami's on top.
27:00God, Rhea's got that look in her eye, unshakably focused.
27:04Yeah, Julia not backing down though, but Rhea Ripley unloading.
27:08Well, maybe you should back down when Mami is in this kind of mood.
27:12All that results is physical destruction.
27:15And we've got Julia in a trance right now.
27:18And there's the power face first, goes Julia.
27:24Meanwhile, Naomi back into the ring and runs into a boot by Rhea Ripley.
27:28Roxanne Perez gonna get punished as well.
27:30It's always just a matter of time before Razor's Edge into Naomi.
27:36Ripley went on a tear like this.
27:40Hey, yo, Rhea Ripley might win money in the bank.
27:44Rhea feeding off this sold out crowd of 17,000 plus tonight.
27:50She's not looking to climb that ladder, wait a minute.
27:52She wants to do some more destruction.
27:53Ripley's already left a path of broken bodies in her wake.
27:57That to me was the time to start climbing.
28:00Nah, she wants brutality.
28:01Joliot.
28:07Remember the number, 100%.
28:11The amount of times that the cash into the contract has resulted in
28:16crowning a world champion in the women's division.
28:21It's almost weird to see Rhea Ripley without a title around her waist.
28:27You get that briefcase in her hand, that title's coming home to Mami.
28:31Quickly.
28:33This is the eighth year we've had a women's money in the bank contract ladder match.
28:38Carmella, of course, the very first winner back in 2017.
28:42Rhea Ripley looks to become the latest winner here tonight.
28:46Clearly the largest ladder we've had in the ring thus far.
28:49And Rhea gonna try to scale the ladder.
28:51And now it's Stephanie Bacare, who intercepts, runs into a head bump by Ripley.
28:56And in a stardom and jaw, Stephanie Bacare.
28:58Yeah, to many, this would be a dream match, Rhea and Stephanie if they ever go one on one.
29:03I'll tell you right now, Rhea Ripley has no interest in contemplating dream matches.
29:08She wants the briefcase, she wants the victory right now, worry about the rest tomorrow.
29:14But yes, to your point Cole, there's dream matches all over this Money in the Bank match.
29:19The women's division is stacked.
29:21Who will be the Money in the Bank champion?
29:24Well, undoubtedly, the likes of Julia Bacare and Roxanne Perez are gonna be with us for
29:28the next 10 to 15 years.
29:31That's it, Rhea bloody Ripley doesn't buy an end to Stephanie Bacare right here.
29:36Yeah, Rhea has built a bridge from the corner to the ladder.
29:40And now Rhea Ripley, looked like she was looking for
29:43Rip Tide and- Wait a minute.
29:45And never gonna care.
29:46We got another, trying to fight out of this here.
29:49No, not up there, you gotta be kidding me, not up there, yes.
29:56One time for Booker T, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high.
30:05Devil's kiss on the ladder.
30:07The most popular move in all of WWE as mesmeric as it gets.
30:18And that might be the death blow to five women in this match.
30:22And here comes Stephanie, Stephanie scale on the ladder.
30:25Stephanie's got her hands on the briefcase.
30:28Can Stephanie Bacare become Miss Money in the Bank?
30:31Meanwhile, Roxanne Perez from behind.
30:34I promise you right now, perspiration on the hands at this point makes it grip so
30:39terrible, climbing the ladder and grabbing the briefcase.
30:42That's why it's so slow, and Perez pouncing at the right moment.
30:47WWE fans wanted a Bacare victory, booing Roxanne Perez, who prevented that from happening.
30:53Meanwhile, on the other side of the ladder, Alexa Bliss gonna climb.
30:57Roxanne Perez is there as well, both women at the top of the ladder.
31:02Women dropping like flies at this point, everybody running on fumes.
31:07And now Naomi.
31:09Catching Alexa.
31:10Look at it, look at it, look at it.
31:11In the background, Stephanie Bacare, walking the tightrope with the ladder.
31:15Now she goes after Roxanne Perez to stop Perez from winning the contract.
31:20Naomi's got a ladder in her hands.
31:23She has ideas as well.
31:24Stephanie Bacare with Roxanne Perez.
31:26Dangerous, dangling, top of the ladder.
31:31Now Stephanie, Roxanne trying to block here.
31:35Naomi now ducks under the ladder to grab Alexa.
31:41A little bit of a stalemate, who's gonna make the first move?
31:44Instruments of torture everywhere you go.
31:46And now it's Bacare trying to climb again.
31:47Nobody wants to make a mistake because the mistake will result in you being wrapped around this steel.
31:53Yeah, now Alexa Bliss gonna try to climb the ladder.
31:56You just tell how cautious these women have to be at this point.
32:00Yeah, one misstep and you could be out of this entire match.
32:03One slip and you could be going to hospital.
32:05Forget about winning the match.
32:06One great climb, you change your entire life.
32:09Bliss looking to do it for a second time in her career.
32:12Naomi looking to prevent.
32:13This is Naomi's fifth Money in the Bank ladder match.
32:16Roxanne and Stephanie on the other side of the ladder.
32:21What do they think in here?
32:23There's something.
32:25I believe they just communicated to each other.
32:27What the hell?
32:28Yes.
32:30What the hell?
32:31My God!
32:32Dueling Cone Reds!
32:41In stereo, Cone Reds on the ladder.
32:45So much taken out of these women.
32:48But wow, Naomi and Bakur absolutely hate that.
32:54Meanwhile, Bliss and Roxanne taken out and something's stirring in the ring, Cole.
32:59Yeah, Roxanne able to hit the Cone Reds, which she calls of course the Pop Rocks.
33:02And everybody's down.
33:05Julie is fresh.
33:06She's back in the ring.
33:0817,000 plus love what's going on here tonight.
33:16Julia looking to take advantage.
33:18There are bodies strewed everywhere.
33:20Yeah, let the bodies hit the floors after they hit the ladders.
33:24Dueling Cone Reds.
33:26Never in my life did I think I'd see that, especially here at Money in the Bank.
33:30How about Julia?
33:31Potentially changing her entire career quickly upon arrival at WWE.
33:35Can she get up to the Money in the Bank briefcase?
33:38Dealing with the ladder is a battle in of itself.
33:42Yeah, that's part of the problem, Pat.
33:43These ladders often do not wanna cooperate with superstars.
33:47You have to position them exactly right.
33:50Otherwise the climb is for naught if you can't reach the briefcase.
33:53And here's Julia now, trying to get to the top of the ladder again on the other side.
33:57Roxanne Perez trying to beat her there.
33:59Julia's got her hands on the briefcase.
34:01Julia's just got to unclip it to win the contract.
34:03But Roxanne Perez prevented it from happening.
34:07And now these two battling at the top.
34:11Placed atop a 14-foot ladder, one woman goes down here, one woman stays up and grabs the briefcase.
34:20Full hair, bowling hair at the top.
34:22It would only be appropriate to come down to these two after the rivalry that they've had.
34:28And now a headbutt to Roxanne, Julia's opportunity now.
34:33Will Julia be able to unclip the briefcase?
34:36She's close.
34:37Roxanne Perez though with a handful of hair.
34:39Alexa Bliss trying to drag Perez down.
34:42Roxanne trying to hang on.
34:43Now the briefcase is starting to sway, which could cause an issue as well.
34:49Rhea Ripley backed into things.
34:51Julia deciding I should take care of Rhea Ripley.
34:56And now dragged off the ladder by Rhea.
35:01And Ripley now, and Alexa Bliss now.
35:06Riptide and Sister Abigail.
35:09We can do that too, says Alexa Bliss in mommy.
35:22What a fight here for the Money in the Bank briefcase.
35:25There would be a lot to break down.
35:27Two women with the biggest resumes in this match.
35:32Four bodies strewn around the ringside area.
35:36And yes, fellow.
35:40This is awesome.
35:41One of the biggest prizes in the game.
35:45Tantalizingly close for these two women.
35:47Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, race to the top, race to the briefcase.
35:51Naomi back into the ring.
35:52Now Bliss and Ripley.
35:53Naomi now.
35:57And you notice how Alexa and Rhea trying to get down the ladder before Naomi is able to
36:02tip it off.
36:02And Rhea face first off the ladder.
36:05Bliss is down as well.
36:06Naomi with a chance.
36:08It's two women down, two women out cold.
36:11And Naomi don't proceed with caution.
36:15Sprint off that ladder and change the course of your career.
36:19Naomi up the ladder.
36:21Naomi with nobody around.
36:23Naomi may have a clear shot at the contract.
36:27Naomi close to the top of the ladder.
36:30Is this Naomi's moment?
36:31Naomi has the briefcase.
36:34Naomi has Miss Money in the Bank.
36:42Here is your winner, the 2025 Miss Money in the Bank, Naomi.
36:58Tiffany Stratton, Io Sky, beware.
37:04Naomi, new attitude and all.
37:09Has a contract she can cash in any time she pleases for a world title opportunity.
37:16So much happened in this Money in the Bank match.
37:18We had Dueling Code Reds followed by Riptide and Sister Abigail.
37:26And this is the moment it looked like the two Vets in a match with the biggest resumes.
37:30We're gonna battle it out for supremacy.
37:33But Naomi, another former world champ, had other ideas in.
37:38Let me get this right, Cole.
37:40The fifth time of asking for Naomi, she grabs the briefcase.
37:44And the most demented, contorted woman in the locker room has some major power now.
37:55Naomi has all of the leverage, all of the power, all of the opportunity.
38:02And she has to be feeling all of the fulfillment for deciding to become this Naomi, ruthless.
38:08What an incredible performance by Alexa Bliss, and Julia, and Stephanie Bacare,
38:17Roxanne Perez, of course, Rhea Ripley.
38:21But in the end, Naomi now calls herself Miss Money in the Bank.
38:28And, guys, it doesn't matter what you think about her and how her attitude has changed.
38:32Naomi's worked hard in her career to get to this point tonight.
38:36Congratulations to Naomi.
38:50Well, there's one man that's smiling.
38:55Tremendous match at World.
