The 2025 Money in the Bank event was a highly anticipated premium live show by WWE, featuring two new winners of the coveted Money in the Bank briefcases. Alongside the ladder matches, the card included a main event tag team bout showcasing both male and female Intercontinental titles and other top stars. Fans may have missed various interesting details and fun facts scattered throughout the event.
One notable highlight was Chad Gable competing under a new persona, El Grande Americano, marking the first time a male competitor fought in Money in the Bank matches under two different gimmicks in consecutive years (2024 and 2025). While female wrestlers like Nikki Cross have competed under multiple personas before, this was a unique moment for the men’s division. This milestone is notable given the 20-year history of these ladder matches.
During Triple H’s era running Money in the Bank shows, neither of the two ladder matches has ever headlined the event. The 2025 show continued this trend with the main event tag match featuring Cody Rhodes & Jay Uso against John Cena & Logan Paul. Previous years also had tag team main events but never with ladder matches as the final bout, a booking choice that some fans might find unusual.
Additionally, Lyra Valkyria versus Becky Lynch was a rare instance of consecutive Pay-Per-View rematches for the women’s division during the Triple H era. This was the first time in three years that the same women’s match was featured back-to-back at premium events, highlighting the significance of their ongoing rivalry.
Naomi’s victory in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match was especially noteworthy. It was her fifth attempt at winning the briefcase, making her the female wrestler with the longest wait to capture this prize. On the men’s side, only Drew McIntyre shares a similar record of winning on his fifth try.
Fan Take: This event was packed with historic moments and unique storylines that enrich WWE’s legacy. For fans, seeing veterans like Naomi finally triumph and witnessing innovative gimmicks like El Grande Americano shows the evolving nature of WWE storytelling, hinting at exciting developments to come in the sport.
