A very vocal contingent of wrestling fans have been extremely disappointed by WWE programming in recent months, with WrestleMania 41 not living up to the hype and Backlash being a glorified house show.
Add in a relatively meaningless Saturday Night’s Main Event, and wrestling fans are becoming desperate for a good wrestling show. The hope now is that the 2025 edition of Money in the Bank gets the company back on the right track.
One way to ensure the June premium live event (PLE) is a success is to stack the Money in the Bank 2025 ladder matches with talent. Here are the Superstars most likely to fill out the multi-person bouts.
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Predicted Participants: Solo Sikoa, Logan Paul, Penta, LA Knight, Gunther, Cody Rhodes
While Jey Uso and the World Heavyweight Championship have a storyline in place that could eventually see Sami Zayn challenge for the title, John Cena and the Undisputed WWE Championship are directionless once he disposes of R-Truth.
The men’s ladder match is a defacto No. 1 contendership for Cena’s belt.
Regardless of who Triple H and WWE Creative put into the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, it should be the triumphant return of Cody Rhodes that steals the headlines and the briefcase.
As a company, WWE should leave Rhodes as a surprise entrant, with Gunther being the betting favorite heading into the event. At the event, the former champion’s music should hit, sending the crowd into a frenzy and Rhodes back to the main event for a rematch with Cena.
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Predicted Participants: Alexa Bliss, Giulia, Rhea Ripley, Roxanne Perez, Liv Morgan, Charlotte
When Tiffany Stratton successfully defended her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, many fans thought the storyline was over. If Flair walks out of Inglewood, California, with the briefcase, she’s coming for Stratton.
But what about Iyo Sky and the Women’s World Championship? WWE Creative has a blank slate for the Raw champion. On one hand, the company could go back to Ripley for a WrestleMania rewind, but it should be time for a change.
Giulia is one of the most talented prospects WWE has ever recruited for the women’s division, and she should be portrayed as strong on the main roster. Having Giulia win the briefcase and set her sights on Sky would be the marquee matchup the red brand desperately needs.
