How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank: Schedule, Peacock stream info, match card, preview, predictions
'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes is back and he's out for revenge against the man who cost him the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania, John Cena. Rhodes will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso to face Cena and Logan Paul in a star-studded tag team clash at WWE Money in the Bank Saturday, streaming live at 7 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock. Two weeks ago, Cena continued his reign of terror by attempting to sabotage Jey in his title defense against Paul, before Rhodes appeared for the first time since WrestleMania to save Jey, setting up Saturday's tag team match. As part of his goal to ruin pro wrestling before he retires at the end of the year, Cena has said he would love nothing more than to leave the World Heavyweight Championship in the hands of the social media star. 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK! 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK TO STOP JOHN CENA FROM SCREWING OVER JEY USO! #SNME Seth Rollins will headline the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and will face five Superstars still looking to win their first world championship in WWE. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Andrade, El Grande Americano and Rollins will hope to climb the ladder and seize the contract suspended above the ring that guarantees them a championship match at a time of their choosing. This year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will feature three Superstars who were called up to the main roster within the last few weeks. Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer will try to outmaneuver each other and former world champions Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Naomi for the right to call themselves Ms. Money in the Bank. And Lyra Valkyria will defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship in what is sure to be a heated rematch against Becky Lynch. Last month at Backlash, Valkyria successfully defended the title, only to be viciously attacked by Lynch post-match. The following week, Valkyria retaliated by sabotaging Lynch in her Money in the Bank qualifying match. And if the stakes weren't already high enough, if Lynch loses Saturday, she has agreed to never again challenge Valkyria for the Intercontinental title. But if Lynch prevails, Valkyria has agreed to raise Lynch's hand and acknowledge her as the victor. How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank on Peacock Date: Saturday, June 7 Time: 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT Streaming: Peacock Location: Intuit Dome (Inglewood, CA) 2025 WWE Money in the Bank match card* Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Solo Sikoa vs. LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins vs. Penta vs. Andrade vs. El Grande Americano Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Stephanie Vaquer Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship *Card subject to change 2025 WWE Money in the Bank predictions Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul With the Undisputed title not on the line Saturday, it could be an opportunity for Rhodes to get some payback for his loss at WrestleMania, while keeping the belt on Cena. But ultimately, it doesn't seem productive to slow Cena's heel run in any way with so many potential dream matches that could take place before he retires at the end of the year, such as against CM Punk. PREDICTION: John Cena and Logan Paul defeat Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match Seth Rollins' new villainous faction has grown even stronger with the addition of Bronson Reed, and eventually Rollins is going to need some gold around his waist to properly stand tall as the leader of the group, à la Triple H in Evolution. A Rollins victory would also give Paul Heyman something to hold on his way to the ring again. PREDICTION: Seth Rollins wins the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match It feels too early for any of the recent main roster call-ups to wield the Money in the Bank briefcase and Rhea Ripley doesn't need it. And surely there's no way they would let Naomi utter the 'it wouldn't be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair' line to Bianca Belair on SmackDown last week without a big payoff, right? PREDICTION: Naomi wins the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship I'm so conflicted by this one, so I'm going to go out on a limb here. In order to avoid having the promising young Valkyria raise Lynch's hand in defeat, while also booking 'The Man' strong for her eventual feud with Bayley, Valkyria wins Saturday by disqualification after a merciless attack by Lynch. And perhaps Bayley returns to save Valkyria. Remember, Lynch admitted to injuring Bayley backstage before WrestleMania in order to take her place as Valkyria's tag team partner and the feud between the two legendary Four Horsewomen does not need a belt. PREDICTION: Lyra Valkyria defeats Becky Lynch by disqualification to retain the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

WWE Raw results: Lyra Valkyria vows not to let Becky Lynch ‘poison' the Intercontinental title at Money in the Bank
On the June 2 episode of WWE RAW, Lyra Valkyria stepped into the spotlight and made her intentions clear. She is not just fighting for gold this Saturday. She is fighting for pride, respect, and to stop Becky Lynch from poisoning the legacy of the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. Live from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Valkyria took the mic during the second hour of RAW and went straight after her Money in the Bank opponent. She responded to Lynch's earlier pre-taped promo and challenged her to say those words to her face. Moments later, Lynch came out to the ring, but before she could say much, Lyra shut her down. The champion told Becky that her words were hollow and her actions were driven by ego. She said Becky once stood for something, but in recent months, she has only cared about power. Valkyria said she once looked up to Lynch, but now feels nothing but disappointment. She admitted that no one has ever hurt her the way Lynch has, but that pain has made her stronger. Tensions boil over before the Money in the Bank clash We've got a #MITB preview tonight on #WWERaw! According to Valkyria, Lynch's attempt to hold her down only unlocked the version of her that is capable of defeating 'The Man' once again. With fire in her voice, Valkyria promised to protect the Women's Intercontinental Title from being tainted by Becky's manipulation and pride. Lynch responded by saying that Lyra's perspective has been poisoned. She insisted she never wanted to hurt Valkyria but wanted to make her better. However, she added that things have changed, and now the only thing that will truly break Lyra is when she is forced to raise Lynch's hand after losing at Money in the Bank. Becky then left the ring, refusing to fight in Tulsa. But Lyra chased her up the ramp, leading to a wild brawl that had to be broken up by WWE officials. This match is about more than wins and losses. After defeating Lynch at Backlash, Valkyria is looking to prove it was not a fluke. Becky, who has added personal stipulations to their upcoming bout, is trying to reclaim her place by force. If she loses, she can never challenge Lyra again. If she wins, Lyra must publicly raise her hand in defeat. The two women are not just former NXT rivals. Their story now includes betrayal, anger, and unfinished business. Lyra Valkyria stands tall with a clear goal. To win at Money in the Bank. To silence Becky Lynch. And to make sure the title she proudly wears is never 'poison'ed by Becky Lynch.
