WWE Money in the Bank 2025 set for Inglewood with full match card revealed
Full match card set for WWE Money in the Bank 2025 WWE will present the 16th annual Money in the Bank premium live event this weekend at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The event maintains WWE's recent trend of short-format shows and includes four matches on the main card. As customary, two of those matches will be the signature men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches. The women's Money in the Bank match features six competitors: Alexa Bliss , Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Naomi, and Rhea Ripley. The field offers a balance of veteran talent and new contenders. On the men's side, Seth Rollins leads the lineup alongside LA Knight, Andrade, Solo Sikoa, Penta, and El Grande Americano. Rollins, who previously won the Money in the Bank match in 2014 and cashed in successfully at WrestleMania 31, enters as the favorite. These ladder matches will determine which male and female competitors receive future championship match opportunities at a time and place of their choosing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mouth Wrinkles Are No Match For This Little-Known Drugstore Wrinkle Cream Lift & Firm Undo Title defense and tag team match round out the Inglewood card In the lone championship bout on the card, Lyra Valkyria will defend the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch. This marks the second meeting between the two during this title reign. Valkyria defeated Lynch last month at WWE Backlash. Per the stipulation, if Lynch fails to win, she will not be eligible to challenge for the title again during Valkyria's current reign. The card also features a tag team match with high-profile implications. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso will face the pairing of John Cena and Logan Paul. Rhodes recently lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cena at WrestleMania 41 in April. Jey Uso, meanwhile, successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Paul in a recent encounter. Live Events The match pairs longtime allies Rhodes and Uso against opponents with recent title history, contributing additional storyline context to the event. Cena and Paul team up following their respective championship pursuits, while Rhodes and Uso continue to align as key figures in WWE's top-tier narrative arcs. With the final card confirmed, WWE Money in the Bank 2025 positions itself as one of the company's major summer events. The combination of title stakes, ladder match suspense, and returning stars adds multiple layers of interest heading into the show at the Intuit Dome.

Swifties blamed for Travis Kelce interview leak as Bussin' With The Boys crew relives ‘hacked' moment
The Bussin' With The Boys podcast team faced a major setback when their unreleased interview with Travis Kelce was leaked online (Getty Images) In a surprising and chaotic turn of events, the Bussin' With The Boys podcast crew recently opened up about a behind-the-scenes disaster involving their unreleased interview with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce . According to the show's editors, a leak of the unlisted YouTube interview caused panic within the team—and they believe Taylor Swift's passionate fanbase may have been behind it. Travis Kelce interview clips mysteriously leak before release, sending podcast team into panic On a recent episode of Back of the Bus, a spinoff of Bussin' With The Boys, crew member Mitch recalled the shocking moment when footage from their yet-to-be-published Travis Kelce interview surfaced online. 'He was so big that we kind of got hacked. We weren't recording with Travis at the time. Clips started hitting Twitter, 10-minute clips,' Mitch recounted. 'You look at me, and you were like, 'Did you post the episode?' I'm like no.' Mitch had uploaded the interview as an unlisted video on YouTube—a common practice for internal sharing before a video officially goes live. However, even unlisted videos can be viewed if someone obtains the direct URL. Somehow, Swifties—Taylor Swift's notoriously tech-savvy and devoted fandom—appeared to have found it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Jack shows me these videos on Twitter, and I'm like, What did I do wrong? I had to go tell Will and Taylor. I don't know what happened, but somehow the episode was leaked. I don't know how somebody got the URL. Swifties hacked us,' Mitch concluded. Swift's fans are known for their unmatched online detective skills. From tracking her private jet to decoding song lyrics, Swifties spare no effort in supporting—and sometimes protecting—their queen. When Swift started dating Kelce nearly two years ago, their attention naturally extended to every detail of his public appearances and media engagements. In this case, their deep-dive internet sleuthing may have inadvertently compromised a podcast team's entire rollout strategy. Despite the chaos, the Bussin' team had nothing but praise for Kelce and his team, even giving a shout out to the New Heights podcast, which Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason. They specifically acknowledged their respect for New Heights' social media producer, Jake Chatzky—known online as Jets Jake—for how he handles their digital content.
