WWE Money in the Bank 2025 featured one of the most star-studded women’s matches in company history: Alexa Bliss, Guilia, Naomi, Rhea Ripley, Roxanne Perez and Stephanie Vaquer in a six-woman ladder match.
In the eighth installment of the match, WWE mixed in three of its most seasoned veterans with three red hot rising stars who’ve all been called up to Raw or SmackDown in 2025. The goal? Outlast your opponents, climb up the ladder, grad the coveted WWE Money in the Bank briefcase and cash it in for a guaranteed world title show at at any time over the next year.
Kicking off the show in the Intuit Dome, WWE’s ensemble of women’s stars battled it out in an attempt to become the eighth “Ms. Money in the Bank” in history, putting on quite the show in the process. But in the end, only one star reigned surpreme.
WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Results For Women’s Ladder Match
Naomi Wins 2025 WWE Money in the Bank Ladder Match
For the first time ever, Naomi can call herself “Ms. Money in the Bank.”
It was no secret that Naomi, in the midst of the best run of her WWE career, was the overwhelming favorite to win the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase. She entered the pay-per-view with reports indicating that she was the top choice to win the match.
And that’s exactly what Naomi did for the first time in her career.
Some of the key highlights of the women’s ladder match were:
- Ripley went for a Razor’s Edge on a ladder, but Perez reversed it with a hurricanrana and then hit a springboard moonsault onto Ripley, who was laying on top of the ladder.
- Roxanne and Guilia worked together for a tandem modified slam on Bliss, sending her stomach first into a ladder.
- Much to the delight of the live crowd, Vaquer blasted Ripley with a Devil’s Kiss on a ladder and then nearly captured the Money in the Bank briefcase.
- With four women battling it out on top of a massive ladder in the middle of the ring, Bliss and Perez simultaneously hit impressive Code Reds on Naomi and Vaquer, respectively, sending them crashing off two separate ladders. This prompted well deserved “This is awesome!” chants from the Intuit Dome crowd.
- Ripley had a Riptide on Guilia just as Bliss hit a Sister Abigail DDT on Perez, and the audience responded with “This is awesome” chants once again.
- As Ripley and Bliss fought atop the ladder, Naomi emerged from outside the ring and pushed the ladder over, sending both stars smashing into two ladders inside the ring. This allowed Naomi to grab the briefcase and win the match.
Of course, the biggest highlight was Naomi’s career-defining win. The odds-on betting favorite to capture the 2025 WWE Money in the Bank briefcase, Naomi earned this victory with a stellar character arc over the past few months.
Naomi had spent all of 2025 feuding with Jade Cargill in one of WWE’s best non-title women’s feuds in recent memory, even making her way into a rare WrestleMania women’s non-title bout.
Especially in recent weeks, Naomi had reinvented herself as one of the most intriguing stars in all of WWE, and now, she has one full year to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase and capture a world title.
Cash-In Options for Naomi After WWE Money in the Bank 2025 Victory
Tiffany Stratton Or Iyo Sky
The most obvious potential cash-in for Naomi would be SmackDown’s current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
Stratton isn’t clicking quite as well as expected as champion, and Naomi would be a fresh titleholder on the blue brand. Naomi cashing in on Stratton is a much more likely option than doing so on Iyo Sky, who is currently on the opposite brand, Raw.
There is a ready made storyline for Naomi, who has plenty of history with Stratton, to cash in on SmackDown’s current champion in the near future. That would potentially allow Naomi to seamlessly continue her storyline with one or two stars she’s been joined at the hip with.
Naomi Cashes In WWE Money In The Bank Briefcase On Jade Cargill Or Bianca Belair
Naomi has been connected with Jade Cargill, her WrestleMania opponent, and Bianca Belair, her former tag team partner, more than just about anyone in WWE.
Both of those stars are strong candidates to be world champions in the near future, and if WWE decides to play the waiting game, then Naomi’s Money in the Bank win could be saved for further down the road. There’s no need to rush Naomi’s cash-in, after all, and it would be quite the story if she finally cashed in that briefcase on either Cargill or Naomi.
For now, Naomi will keep that WWE Money in the Bank briefcase by her side, but logic says that her guaranteed title shot will play a major role in her long-term storyline with Cargill and Belair.
