The final two places in the men's and women's Money In The Bank ladder match are set to be finalized on WWE Monday Night Raw. CM Punk looks to book his place in this weekend's high-stakes match, while Liv Morgan looks to take the last spot in the women's match. Here's your preview for the June 2 2025 episode of Raw on Netflix, the UK start time and who is in the Money In The Bank match so far this year. We're just days away from the WWE's next big Premium Live Event, Money In The Bank. With only two more main shows leading up to it, the excitement is building! For newer fans, the men's and women's ladder matches are absolute spectacles, seeing six superstars battling to reach the prestigious briefcase hanging above the ring. For those who succeed in attaining it, there's the chance of a title match any time, any place (literally, in the case of many Money In The Bank cash-ins). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But for those who come so close – well, given the car-crash nature of these matches, they're left with aches, pains, and the contemplation of how close they were. This evening's Monday Night Raw features two more qualifying matches. Each bout will see a former World Champion from both the men's and women's divisions vying to earn another shot at the top of the heap. However, for those competing this evening, there may be trouble ahead – both from external factors and internal conflict within their respective groups. Here's your preview for this evening's WWE Raw, including currently announced matches, the UK start time, and who is currently in the Money In The Bank ladder matches after the conclusion of last week's Friday Night Smackdown.

Fresh off delivering a devastating GTS to Rollins last Monday night – a direct consequence of the chaos at Saturday Night's Main Event involving Rollins, Paul Heyman, and their new alliance – Punk has a clear objective: ensure The Visionary doesn't lay hands on the coveted briefcase. To achieve this, Punk must first overcome formidable opposition in the ring. He'll collide with the phenomenal AJ Styles and the enigmatic El Grande Americano (cough) in a Triple Threat bout that promises explosive action and potentially massive ramifications for the Money in the Bank landscape. Money In The Bank Qualifying Match: Liv Morgan v Ivy Nile v Stephanie Vaquer Liv Morgan looks to reset her fortunes tonight after a tumultuous return to Raw last week. The intricate web of alliances and betrayals within The Judgment Day continues to fray, with Finn Balor's apparent machinations seemingly driving a wedge between Liv and Dirty Dom, ultimately costing Morgan her match against Kairi Sane. Amidst this internal turmoil, Liv now has a critical opportunity to shift focus and secure her spot in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. She'll need to navigate a challenging Triple Threat encounter against the formidable Ivy Nile and the exciting newest addition to the Raw Women's roster, former NXT Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer, as the road to Money in the Bank intensifies.

WWE takes WrestleMania 42 from New Orleans after announcing as host city in February
After announcing New Orleans as the host city for WrestleMania 42 earlier this year, WWE has removed the event from the Big Easy. According to a statement from the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, the promotion is rescheduling a WrestleMania in New Orleans for a later, unspecified year. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced New Orleans' Caesar's Superdome as the venue for 2026 in February during a segment on WWR Friday Night Smackdown at Smoothie King Center. Advertisement New Orleans & Company head Walt Leger also noted that WWE hopes to bring other pay-per-view events to the city. Instead of WrestleMania, they will bring the Money in the Bank — which usually takes place in June or July — to New Orleans. "We've worked with them for the last several days to try to identify some future dates and future events to bring to the city," Leger said. In a joint statement with New Orleans & Company, the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation said they are in talks with TKO "to expand our long-standing partnership through a multi-event, multi-year agreement which will include UFC 318 on July 19, 2025 [and] Money In The Bank in 2026." Advertisement A new venue for WrestleMania 42 is yet to be announced as fans on social media are calling for WWE to move it to Wembley Stadium in London. WWE's premier event was set at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this year and garnered 117,380 fans in attendance across both nights. New Orleans hosted WrestleMania 34 in 2018 and had 78,240 fans for a gate of $14.1 million. According to the Enigma Research Corporation, the pay-per-view had a $175 million impact on The Crescent City with three-quarters of the fans in attendance coming from outside New Orleans.
