CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano to lock horns in Money in the Bank qualifier on WWE RAW
The road to the Money in the Bank 2025 Ladder Match reaches its final turn on the June 2 episode of WWE Raw. In a triple-threat match, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano will clash for the sole remaining spot in the men's ladder match, set to take place on June 7. Solo Sikoa, Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Andrade, and Penta have already secured their spots in the MITB Ladder Match. One spot remains, which will be fought among the WWE Raw stars. The announcement came during the May 30 episode of WWE Smackdown, revealing that AJ Styles and CM Punk will face each other for the first time inside a WWE ring since the 2025 Royal Rumble. While they've never met in a singles or triple threat match in WWE before, their highly acclaimed matches in Ring of Honor back in 2004 make this a must-watch. However, both stars come to the match with rivalries brewing. Seth Rollins remains the key obstacle in CM Punk's title chase CM Punk makes a surprise appearance on #WWERaw to make Seth Rollins GTS. 🔥 CM Punk's road to this qualifier is filled with tension, mainly because of his ongoing feud with Seth Rollins and the newly formed faction, which includes Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. The rivalry heated up recently when Punk ran from behind to hit Rollins with a surprise GTS on last week's Raw, leaving the faction stunned. This bitter feud dates back to earlier clashes, such as the triple threat match at WrestleMania 41, where Seth Rollins defeated CM Punk and Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman's help. More recently, Rollins' faction, with Bronson Reed's support, secured a victory over Punk and Sami Zayn in a tag team match on Saturday Night's Main Event, adding more fuel to the fire. Seth Rollins has already qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where CM Punk may end up facing him if the 'Second City Saint' qualifies in the upcoming WWE Raw episode. AJ Styles and El Grande Americano clash amid rivalry Chad Gable just got cooked by AJ Styles #WWERAW AJ Styles enters this qualifier with his own set of grievances, particularly towards El Grande Americano. Styles suspects that El Grande is, in fact, Chad Gable, who allegedly assisted The Judgment Day in a previous tag team match against Styles and Penta. This suspicion led to a backstage altercation where Styles attacked Gable, further fueling the animosity between them. Chad Gable, having previously failed to qualify on May 26, sees this match as a second chance to prove himself (as El Grande Americano). As the final spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match hangs in the balance, the intertwining rivalries and personal vendettas promise a thrilling and unpredictable contest on Raw.

WWE Smackdown results: Solo Sikoa books his place at WWE Money in the Bank 2025 ladder match
Solo Sikoa has officially punched his ticket to the men's Money in the Bank 2025 Ladder Match, securing a significant victory on the May 16 episode of WWE SmackDown. In a high-stakes triple threat qualifier against Jimmy Uso and Rey Fenix, Sikoa capitalized on ringside distractions from Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo (formerly Jeff Cobb) to deliver a decisive Samoan Spike to Fenix for the pinfall victory. This win marks a pivotal moment for the new Bloodline leader, Solo Sikoa, who has been vocal about his mission to restore dominance to his Samoan family lineage following Roman Reigns' title loss at WrestleMania. With the Money in the Bank briefcase now within reach, Sikoa aims to reclaim the championship and bring it back to his bloodline . Solo Sikoa now competes in his FIRST MITB Ladder CONGRATS to him 🔥 Rey Fenix headed for Worlds Collide? Rey Fenix, a recent addition to the WWE roster from AEW, was a fan favorite heading into the qualifier. His dynamic in-ring style and high-flying maneuvers had the crowd rallying behind him. However, his loss in the qualifier may not be the end of his journey. Speculation is rife that Fenix could be slated for a prominent role in the upcoming Worlds Collide event, a joint production between WWE's NXT and the newly acquired Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. They've been booking Rey Fenix super weekly since his debut, it's obviously better than what AEW was doing with him but I really hope he gets a push soon.I'm also hoping Rey lost because he'll be at worlds collide Scheduled for June 7 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, the same day as Money in the Bank, Worlds Collide is set to feature talent from both NXT and AAA, with Fenix's name being prominently mentioned Given Fenix's lucha libre heritage and the event's focus on cross-promotional matchups, his participation in Worlds Collide seems plausible. This could explain his absence from the Money in the Bank ladder match, allowing him to showcase his skills on a platform that celebrates his wrestling roots. As the road to Money in the Bank continues, Solo Sikoa's momentum is undeniable. With the briefcase in sight, he stands poised to make a significant impact on WWE's championship landscape. Meanwhile, Rey Fenix's potential involvement in Worlds Collide adds an exciting dimension to WWE's summer programming, promising thrilling matchups and storylines for fans worldwide.
