LA Knight, Tiffany Stratton, Naomi qualify for WWE Money in the Bank

Three more wrestlers qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder matches set for July 6 on Friday’s WWE SmackDown.

Knight pinned Paul with a roll-up after hitting Escobar with BFT to secure the victory.

In the first women’s qualifying bout on Friday’s episode, Tiffany Stratton defeated Jade Cargill & Candice LeRae in a triple threat. Stratton pinned LeRae with the PME after Indi Hartwell interfered on LeRae’s behalf and took out Cargill on the floor.

In the second women’s qualifier on Friday, Naomi defeated Hartwell & Blair Davenport after Cargill got retribution on Hartwell, interfering in the match to lead to Naomi’s victory.

Five of six spots are secured in both the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches set for next Saturday, with the final spots to be decided on Monday’s Raw.

Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus vs. Ilja Dragunov will decide the final men’s participant in a qualifier on Monday’s Raw, while Zoey Stark vs. Ivy Nile vs. Dakota Kai will determine the final women’s qualifier.

As announced during this week’s show, Becky Lynch will face Sonya Deville in a qualifying match on next week’s Raw. Lynch is coming off a loss to Trish Stratus at last week’s Night of Champions pay-per-view, while Deville is coming off a loss in Monday’s Women’s Tag Team Championship bout on Raw. 

Also set for next week, Zoey Stark will face Natalya in a Money in the Bank qualifier. Stark helped Stratus defeat Lynch at Night of Champions, and that program continued in an angle on this week’s Raw where Stratus and Stark laid out Lynch. Natalya is coming off a defeat in a SmackDown Women’s title match against Rhea Ripley at Night of Champions. 

Next week’s Raw lineup: 

WWE Raw, Monday, June 5 —

Two wrestlers qualify for men’s WWE Money in the Bank ladder match

Two wrestlers qualified for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match on Monday’s episode of WWE Raw. 

Ricochet defeated The Miz, and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Bronson Reed in qualifying matches to punch their ticket to the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match set for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on Saturday, July 1 from London. 

Qualifying matches will continue on Friday’s SmackDown, with one men’s bout and one women’s bout. In addition, two women’s qualifiers have been announced for next week’s Raw. 

On the men’s side, LA Knight will face Montez Ford of The Street Profits on SmackDown in a qualifying bout. 

The first women’s Money in the Bank qualifier takes place on SmackDown, with Zelina Vega facing Lacey Evans. 

Women’s qualifying matches will continue on next week’s Raw, with Becky Lynch vs. Sonya Deville, plus Zoey Stark vs. Natalya announced for that show. 

In addition, it was notable on Raw in a backstage promo segment with Gunther and Matt Riddle that Gunther suggested that Riddle could cash in for a shot at his Intercontinental Championship. While the Money in the Bank ladder match winner has traditionally challenged for a World title, the precedent was established last year that the contract could be cashed in on a secondary title, as Austin Theory unsuccessfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract for a shot at the United States title.

Asuka, Omos qualify for WWE Money in the Bank ladder matches

Asuka and Omos won qualifying matches for Money in the Bank on WWE Raw and will appear in ladder matches at the event.
