Natalya set for WWE women’s Money in the Bank ladder match
One of the last spots in this year’s women’s Money in the Bank ladder match has now been filled.
WWE announced on Monday that Natalya will be taking part in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The announcement was made via a tweet from WWE authority figure Sonya Deville.
Deville wrote: “With all the changes and challengers for #MITB and #Smackdown, I will be the one to establish some consistency for this Sunday and there is NO ONE more consistent than 1/2 of our @WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions…@natbynature. Nattie, welcome to the MITB Ladder Match!”
Natalya joins Asuka, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross, Zelina Vega, and Liv Morgan in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. There’s still one more wrestler left to be announced for the match.
Carmella had originally been announced as one of the women’s Money in the Bank participants. But with Bayley injured and out of her scheduled match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair at Money in the Bank, it was announced that Belair will instead be defending her title against Carmella on this Friday’s SmackDown. Morgan was then announced as Carmella’s replacement for the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Natalya & Tamina are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. They lost a non-title match to the debuting Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox on SmackDown this past Friday.

- Universal Champion Roman Reigns defends against Edge
