Two Money in the Bank qualifying matches booked for WWE Raw
Money in the Bank qualifying begins with two triple threat matches taking place on WWE Raw tonight.
This afternoon, WWE uploaded a video with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announcing a pair of Money in the Bank qualifying bouts for tonight. IYO SKY vs. Zelina Vega vs. Kiana James will determine the first women’s ladder match participant. The first men’s participant will be determined by Jey Uso vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor.
SKY was last year’s women’s Money in the Bank winner. She successfully cashed in her briefcase on Bianca Belair at SummerSlam last August and held the WWE Women’s Championship until losing it to Bayley at WrestleMania 40.
Damian Priest won the 2023 men’s Money in the Bank ladder match and held onto the briefcase until a successful WrestleMania cash-in on Drew McIntyre. At Clash at the Castle last weekend, Priest defeated McIntyre to retain the World Heavyweight Championship after CM Punk got involved in the match.
Scotiabank Arena in Toronto is hosting Money in the Bank on Saturday, July 6. Including tonight, there are only three episodes of Raw and three episodes of SmackDown left before the event.
The venue for tonight’s Raw is American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
