The final two SmackDown participants for this year's Money in the Bank ladder matches have been determined, and the Monday Night Raw roster has gained a new Superstar with a big trade taking place today.
First up, on Friday Night SmackDown, Naomi defeated Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in her Triple Threat qualifying match (by pinning Jax) to earn the second-to-last spot in the women's match.
Later in the night, due to some inadvertent distractions from Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo trying to help Jacob Fatu out, he came up short in his Triple Threat qualifier, allowing Andrade to score a pin over Carmelo Hayes, meaning Andrade secured the penultimate spot in the men's match for himself.
In regards to the big trade, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced via a video post on WWE's X account that the red brand has signed Stephanie Vaquer to join the women's division, and that she will be facing Ivy Nile and one half of the women's tag team champions, Liv Morgan, in the remaining qualifier left for the last spot in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
Stephanie Vaquer just lost the NXT Women's Championship on Tuesday night's episode of NXT to Jacy Jayne, which has now freed her up to move, and no time was wasted in bringing her up to the main roster.
Rounding out the news, the other Triple Threat qualifying match for the final spot in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match will be between CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano. It's interesting that Chad Gable not only already wrestled in a qualifier, but is getting a second chance here under his mask, despite how he's already booked to compete at the WWE and AAA Worlds Collide crossover event happening on the same day. Assuming he wins this, that will mean Gable will have to go from Worlds Collide at the Kia Forum over to the Intuit Dome, though that is only a few minutes and perfectly able to happen.
As it stands right now, this is the updated card for the WWE Money in the Bank 2025 lineup:
- Tag Team Match: Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul
- Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Andrade vs. LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Penta vs. Seth Rollins vs. (AJ Styles, CM Punk, or El Grande Americano)
- Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Rhea Ripley vs. (Ivy Nile, Liv Morgan, or Stephanie Vaquer)
- Last Chance Match for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch — If Valkyria wins, Lynch cannot challenge for the title anymore so long as Valkyria is holding it. If Lynch wins, Valkyria has to raise Lynch's hand in victory.
