WWE Money in the Bank preview & predictions: Expect a whole lot of Seth Rollins

WWE presents Money in the Bank tonight, providing an opportunity for some of the company’s post-WrestleMania storylines to take shape.

While WWE is still doing great, you could argue they’ve lost a bit of steam the past few months. John Cena’s heel turn as the current overarching storyline doesn’t seem to be landing with the same impact as the two years of Bloodline drama we’re coming out of. It’s still entertaining and it’s still answering what would have otherwise been the biggest “what if” in wrestling history. It’s just not carrying the company the way Roman & family did for so long.

As of this writing, tonight is only a four-match show, and the oddsmakers have heels winning three of them. Having just one babyface win on a premium live event doesn’t seem like something WWE would usually do, but with only four matches on the card, we’re in somewhat uncharted territory.

Below are previews and predictions for each match at WWE Money in the Bank 2025 (7 PM Eastern on Peacock/Netflix) from Los Angeles, California.

Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match: Seth Rollins vs. Penta vs. El Grande Americano vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Andrade vs. LA Knight

The oddsmakers have Rollins as a -165 favorite to win and it’s not hard to see why. He’s been the focal point of the big post-WrestleMania angle on Raw, alongside Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. 

The World Heavyweight Championship is going back on Rollins at some point, I’m assuming around SummerSlam, and him cashing in the briefcase seems the most likely way we get there. Rikishi will not be pleased. 

There are others in the match with decent enough chances to win. Knight is a +185 underdog. I’m almost sure he’ll have a moment in the match where it looks like he’s about to win, and we get the crowd’s reaction as they all simultaneously ask themselves, “Could LA Knight be a World Champion?” But I don’t know if he’s winning it. It’s not a great way for a babyface to win their first World title in the company.

The next favorite is Americano, who is, of course, an entirely separate person from Chad Gable who will be wrestling earlier in the day at Worlds Collide. He’s listed at +350. This seems significantly less likely than Rollins or Knight winning, but it’s possible, I guess. 

Sikoa is a +700 underdog. I’m expecting the tension between he and his Bloodline to potentially play a role here, but I don’t see him winning. 

Penta is a +1400 underdog. Like Knight, he’ll get a moment, but is likely not winning it. 

Andrade is listed at +5000 which is about as high as wrestling odds go. The oddsmakers are saying that Andrade winning would be one of the most surprising things to happen in wrestling history. I don’t know if it would be that, but he’s probably not winning either.

I feel pretty confident Rollins is grabbing the briefcase.

Prediction: Seth Rollins

Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul

Rhodes and Uso are -250 favorites to Yeet their way to victory. 

The obvious booking decision is to have a champion pinned, setting up a future title match. So does Paul pin Uso, or does Rhodes pin Cena? The oddsmakers say Rhodes pins Cena which makes sense as he is your top babyface and was pinned by Cena in his last match. 

But this begs the question, when do we get Cena vs. Rhodes 2? I assume Rhodes will be the one to eventually take the title off Cena, but I’m not expecting that until much later in the year when Cena’s dates are almost up. They’re going to need a storyline reason to delay that match unless Rhodes is losing again. 

Another possibility is that Paul pins Uso, setting up a rematch from Saturday Night’s Main Event. That match went under ten minutes, so maybe they’ll do something with more time. 

To me, it just seems like common sense to have Rhodes pin Cena here. Also, keep an eye on the match order. If this match happens after the men’s MITB briefcase is won, we could see a cash-in, especially if it’s Rollins on Uso. Then again, Rollins might hold onto the briefcase for a while.

Prediction: Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria defends against Becky Lynch

It feels unlikely WWE will have Lynch lose a third straight match to Valkyria, but who knows? The oddsmakers have Lynch as a -500 favorite, but I’d go even higher. A Lynch win keeps the feud alive through SummerSlam where Valkyria could win the title back.

Valkyria has won with roll-ups both times, so expect a few key moments or even the finish, to play off that. Ultimately, Lynch is probably doing something underhanded to win. She might just cheat, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some kind of angle.

Prediction: Becky Lynch wins the title

Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match: Rhea Ripley vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Naomi vs. Giulia vs. Alexa Bliss

I think Naomi takes this and the oddsmakers agree. She’s listed at -155.

She is the perfect candidate for a MITB win. She’s a heel with a new character and looks poised to be a major part of storylines going forward. At some point, though, WWE is going to want someone to have a women’s cash-in attempt fail. That could be Naomi, but we’ll have to wait and see.

There are other contenders too. Vaquer is listed at +300, but that doesn’t feel likely for all the same reasons other new babyface wrestlers don’t typically win MITB. Ripley at +350 is possible, but she doesn’t need the briefcase to reenter the title picture. She can just win matches.

Perez is a +500 underdog which sort of feels like the oddsmakers saying, “Probably not, but maybe.” I feel like that’s a testament to how well she’s done on the main roster so far.

Bliss is +1200. Her winning wouldn’t really fit with the whole wanting to be Charlotte Flair’s friend thing, or whatever that is.

Giulia is also +1200. Like Ripley, she can move up the card by just winning matches. The briefcase doesn’t seem necessary.

To me, Naomi is the clear-cut favorite.

Prediction: Naomi
