WWE Prepares for Money in the Bank Event in June

INGLEWOOD, California — WWE is gearing up for its next big event, Money in the Bank, scheduled for June 7 at the Intuit Dome. Fresh off a successful Backlash event, where John Cena defeated Randy Orton, fans are eager to see who will secure a chance at championship glory.
This year’s Money in the Bank will feature ladder matches that give Superstars an opportunity to grab a briefcase, providing them with a shot at the men’s and women’s titles. Notably, last year, Drew McIntyre won the ladder match but failed to capitalize on that win after interference from CM Punk.
McIntyre is expected to contend again this year, along with rising stars like LA Knight, who will try for a third consecutive appearance in the iconic match. Other potential entrants include Aleister Black, Finn Balor, and Jacob Fatu, promising a competitive environment.
The women’s division looks just as exciting. Tiffany Stratton, the reigning champion, won last year’s Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match and continued her ascent by defeating Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41. This year, Naomi and Jade Cargill are strong contenders for the briefcase, along with potential surprise returns from stars like Kairi Sane and Michin.
Another team to watch is Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, defending the Women’s Tag Team Championship. A potential showdown with Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky could be on the horizon, especially after their recent conflicts on Raw.
In the lead-up to the event, WWE has hinted at various storylines. For example, John Cena’s anticipated match against R-Truth on May 24 could lead to championship contentions with former Judgment Day member Damian Priest. This narrative has been amplified by Cena’s prominent role in the show’s marketing.
As Money in the Bank approaches, fans can expect surprises, shifts in storylines, and the possibility of a stacked card. WWE aims to maintain the excitement and unpredictability that has made previous events a success.
The upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event will also play a role in shaping the final match card leading to Money in the Bank.
