On June 2, 2025, WWE Raw took place at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, marking a significant night as the show wrapped up events ahead of Money in the Bank. The highlight was a triple-threat qualifying match for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match featuring CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano.
The night kicked off with CM Punk promoting the match, during which Sami Zayn appeared to encourage Punk. The bout started with high energy as fans cheered intensely. Early on, CM Punk tried to pin El Grande Americano, but Chad Gable, who was masked, managed to stay loose. Just before the commercial break, El Grande Americano gained control.
When the match resumed, Punk battled toe-to-toe with El Grande Americano, holding his rivals but failing to secure a pinfall. Throughout the match, the crowd loudly chanted “We Want the Truth” and “This is great” as Punk and AJ Styles exchanged strikes. The fans also chanted for Punk while trying to send El Grande Americano to the top rope, but AJ Styles interrupted the attempt.
In the final moments, Punk landed the GTS, but Bron Breakker intervened, pulling him out of the ring. Bronson Reed soon joined, leading to a beatdown, which Jay Uso tried to counter but ran off fighting two large opponents. AJ Styles then took control by attacking everyone outside the ring, prompting fans to erupt with a “Holy sh*t” chant.
Suddenly, El Grande Americano delivered a headbutt with his loaded mask, followed by an incredible forearm strike, securing his victory and the final spot in the 2025 Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. After the match, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Seth Rollins attacked the babyface.
Leading into Money in the Bank, Solo Sikoa secured the first spot on the May 16 episode of WWE SmackDown. La Knight qualified on May 23, while Penta and Seth Rollins also earned their places. Andrade clinched his spot after winning a qualifier on May 30’s SmackDown.
The winner of the 2025 Money in the Bank Ladder Match remains unpredictable, keeping fans eagerly guessing.
