Money in the Bank Articles - Page 5

When seven members of the WWE Universe get in a ring together with about a dozen ladders littered around the squared circle, the results can be chaotic. Why? Well, because ladders, like children and animals, are notoriously hard to work with, especially when they are on camera in front of a large audience. And yet, […]

Money in the Bank is a special premium live event in the WWE Universe. It features bouts both gimmicky and traditional, a slew of championship matches, and best of all, no commercials, which is quite literally the worst part of watching any wrestling show on television regardless of the promotion. With hours to fill and […]

After weeks of anticipation, Money in the Bank 2022, one of the most exciting WWE premium live events of the year, is officially upon us. Soon, fans will see if Ronda Rousey can beat Natalya for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, Bianca Belair can take care of Carmella after the former Lakers dancer replaced Rhea Ripley […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: WWE‘s Money in the Bank 2022 is upon us. Though it may not get the same hype as, say, WrestleMania or SummerSlam, Money in the Bank is one of the more consequential premium live events of the WWE calendar year, as the show’s namesake ladder match presents two wrestlers, one […]

Las Vegas is a special place for WWE superstar Happy Corbin; it’s where he recaptured his fortune, regained his dignity, and cashed in his old name and disheveled looks for a much “Happier” demeanor and some Gucci threads. So naturally, when news broke that Money in the Bank was booked for Vince Vaughn‘s favorite city, […]

While WWE Raw kicked off this week with a Men’s Last Chance Battle Royal for the penultimate spot in Money in the Bank, for the Main Event, it was the women’s turn with a Last Chance Elimination Match of their own, all for the eighth and final spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank […]

After watching Angelo Dawkins take care of Jimmy Uso on the previous episode of RAW, Montez Ford had a lot of pressure on his shoulders heading into a singles match of his own against the WWE‘s other Uso – Jay, not Sami Zayn. If he won the match, the Street Profits would earn the rights […]

With WWE‘s Money in the Bank less than a week away, RAW put on a Qualifying Battle Royal to secure one of the two final spots in the forthcoming Pay-Per-View’s namesake match. The rules were simple; 20 WWE superstars comprised of both RAW and SmackDown performers entered the ring at the start of the three-hour […]

Anytime Sheamus and Drew McIntyre get in a WWE ring together, it’s going to be a good time… well, at last for the fans in attendance, the duo clearly don’t like each other and they clearly don’t mind showing it. Though they have wrestled well over 100 times if you count house shows, anytime the […]

While Becky Lynch has yet to earn a spot in Money in the Bank and may ultimately sit out the event entirely following her loss to Asuka on RAW, the qualifying matches are ticking along, and slowly but surely the spots on the show are getting snatched up by the best WWE superstars male and […]

Sami Zayn is a lot of things to the world of wrestling. He’s a current WWE superstar, a good friend of former Ring of Honor star El Generico, and decidedly not a friend of Johnny Knoxville, whom he wrestled – if you want to call it that – to a loss at WrestleMania 38 earlier […]

Move over “Hangman” Adam Page, the WWE has their own, super-sized version of the crowd-pleasing performer in… Brock Lesner? “The Beast Incarnate?” Yes, you read that correctly, after years of being the “final boss” of Vince McMahon’s promotion, Lenser has been thrust into babyface duty against “The Head of the Table,” Roman Reigns, and, weirdly […]

Becky Lynch wants to take part in WWE‘s Money in the Bank. Okay, technically, Lynch wants to win back the Raw Women’s Championship, which she most recently held in April in her second reign, but after losing to Bianca Belair on 16 occasions – if you count house shows – and then failing to secure […]

You’ve heard of fighting champions, but how about a posing champion? Well, if you happen to be a fan WWE RAW, specifically since Theory defeated Finn Balor for the United States Championship back in April, you’ve fast become familiar with the term and likely have an opinion one way or another on the topic. Since […]

It hasn’t been a particularly good week for the WWE wrestler formerly known as Matt Riddle. He lost a big-time stipulation match to Roman Reigns that will keep him from wrestling for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship for the remainder of this current run on SmackDown, was overshadowed by the return of Brock Lesner, and […]

When news broke that Rhea Ripley was out for Money in the Bank with an undisclosed injury, it sent minor shockwaves through the WWE Universe and generated a ton of questions. Why was Ripley unable to go at MitB? Does it have to do with her teeth? And what about Bianca Belair, the woman she […]

There was a time when Shayna Baszler was untouchable. She was the WWE‘s big baddie in the Woman’s division, and even Becky Lynch struggled to contest with the MMA performer with a pension for inflicting pain on her opponents. Unfortunately, at least for Baszler, those days are apparently firmly in the past, as the “Queen […]

On the previous edition of WWE’s SmackDown, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus earned double disqualifications to end their match. Now normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal; many a match on WWE TV ends without the 1-2-3, and only a few folks have a problem with it. No, the problem with this particular ending was that […]

With Money in the Bank mere weeks away, Vince McMahon is in the news for a different monetary transaction, as, according to multiple reports, the owner of WWE is under investigation for paying out over $3 million in hush-money payments related to an intra-office affair. The news, initially broken by the Wall Street Journal but […]

Unless you live in the New York metropolitan area, don’t plan on going to WWE Raw hoping to acknowledge the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, this summer. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Reigns is currently only booked for the July 25th episode of RAW this summer, […]

Bianca Belair’s WWE Raw Women’s Championship run has been filled with big bout after big bout. She’s taken care of Becky Lynch, beaten Asuka, and, at Hell in a Cell, defeated Becky Lynch and Asuka to keep her title run alive and well. But at Money in the Bank, Belair has a match on the […]

Seth Rollins has rapidly become the WWE‘s answer to the Green Goblin. He dresses unnecessarily lavish, makes schemes, and cackles like a cartoon villain in an animated Disney movie. For years now, and especially since his program with Cody Rhodes that ended with a sledgehammer assault on the “American Nightmare’s” torn pec, Rollins has gone […]

Things haven’t been going particularly well for Becky Lynch as of late. She lost to Bianca Belair at Wrestlemania, lost to Bianca Belair and Asuka at Hell in a Cell, and, in a twist of fate that still has Bryan Alvarez floored, lost to Dana Brooke in an impromptu 24/7 Title match mere moments after […]

Qualifying matches in WWE and in any wrestling promotion are easy; win the match, and you qualify for whatever is up for grabs, lose the match and you don’t. It’s black and white, day, and night, and really shouldn’t have much ambiguity one way or another. But what happens when two wrestlers are disqualified at […]

Roman Reigns hasn’t publically been in a WWE ring since mid-may, when the “Head of the Table” took on Drew McIntyre for a live event in Iowa. Since that match, Reigns has missed Hell in a Cell, missed every episode of Raw and Smackdown, and now, will reportedly miss WWE’s next marquee event, Money in […]
