The first two competitors to earn spots for the 2025 Money in the Bank ladder matches are Alexa Bliss and Solo Sikoa, who both won Triple Threat matches on WWE Friday Night SmackDown to qualify for this year’s battle for the briefcase.
Bliss was in action against Michin and Chelsea Green, who nearly got the win on Michin after an Un-Pretty-Her / I’m Prettier / Unprettier, only for Bliss to come back into the ring and hit her Sister Abigail DDT finisher for the win instead.

The men’s match was contested between Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Rey Fenix.
With a little help from JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu, Sikoa scored the pin over Fenix after a Samoan Spike to earn the first men’s slot.
HE DID IT!!
