Alexa Bliss and Solo Sikoa are the initial contenders who have clinched slots for the 2025 Money in the Bank ladder showdown. Their victories came from Triple Threat matches in the WWE Friday Night SmackDown, paving their way to compete for this year’s treasure trove.
Bliss competed fiercely against Michin and Chelsea Green. Green almost clinched a victory on Michin, using her Un-Pretty-Her / I’m Prettier / Unprettier techniques. But it was Bliss who triumphed by re-entering the ring and sealing the victory with her signature Sister Abigail DDT finishing move.

The men’s bout featured participants Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Rey Fenix.
Sikoa, with some assistance from JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu, emerged victorious over Fenix by executing a Samoan Spike and thereby securing the first men’s spot.
HE MADE IT!!
