World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest has something to prove against the Superstar who first lifted his title to prominence. El Campeon battles Seth “Freakin” Rollins for the title at WWE Money in the Bank.
Rollins was the first to carry the new World Heavyweight Title, and he quickly lifted the gold into elite status as a fighting champion against the likes of Drew McIntyre, Finn Bálor and Shinsuke Nakamura.
At WrestleMania XL, McIntyre finally ended that reign, only to lose the title moments later when Damian Priest cashed in the Money in the Bank contract, pinned McIntyre and walked off The Grandest Stage of Them All with the title.
When Rollins emerged for the first time since The Show of Shows on the June 17 edition of Raw, he seemed ready to enter the Money in the Bank Ladder Match to earn his way back to the World Heavyweight Title. After a tense verbal exchange with Priest, however, the champion offered a title opportunity to Rollins to show The Visionary and everybody else that he is the Superstar who truly deserves the gold.
Then, one week later, Priest and Rollins came face-to-face and raised the stakes of their match. A Damian Priest win will mean The Visionary could no longer challenge him, and a Rollins win would mean El Campeón must leave The Judgment Day.
Meanwhile Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will join forces with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens against The Bloodline.
The Bloodline have a long and tumultuous history with Rhodes, Orton and Owens. When Roman Reigns took a leave after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to The American Nightmare at WrestleMania, Solo Sikoa took the mantle of Tribal Chief and made significant changes to the deadly faction.
Solo ruthlessly brutalized his brother Jimmy Uso and added the destructive Tama Tanga and Tonga Loa, sons of the legendary Haku. At WWE Clash at the Castle, Sikoa orchestrated a 3-on-1 attack on Rhodes, but KO and The Viper jumped into the brawl and evened the odds. Then, on the June 21 edition of SmackDown, Jacob Fatu emerged to assault Orton and Owens before hitting Rhodes with a Samoan Splash onto the announce table from the top rope.
As a result, the stage was set for a highly anticipated Six-Man Tag Team Match!
Six male superstars will chase destiny as they try to heist the Money in the Bank contract in this death-defying matchup.
Jey Uso will enter his first Money in the Bank Ladder Match after dispatching Finn Bálor and Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat Match.
Andrade took care of Kevin Owens and Grayson Waller to ensure his second chance in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Chad Gable, despite being brutalized during a gruesome scene at the conclusion of the June 17 edition of Raw, defeated two behemoths in “Big” Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman to qualify for the first time in his career.
Carmelo Hayes is also set to enter his first Money in the Bank Ladder Match following a victory over Randy Orton and Tama Tonga on SmackDown.
Andrade, thus far, is the only Superstar to have experienced a Money in the Bank Ladder Match after competing in the 2019 edition.
LA Knight joined the match by defeating United States Champion Logan Paul and Santos Escobar with an assist from New York Knicks star player Jalen Brunson.
Drew Mcintyre grabbed the final spot with a huge victory over Sheamus and Ilja Dragunov.
Plus the winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match has a 100 percent record of turning the contract into gold.
Just ask IYO SKY, who will compete in her second Money in the Bank Ladder Match after winning last year’s career-altering event. SKY later cashed in and became WWE Women’s Champion, holding that title for 245 days before losing it to Bayley at WrestleMania XL. SKY took down Kiana James and Zelina Vega to earn her second chance.
Chelsea Green is set to enter her first Money in the Bank Ladder Match after she prevailed against Bianca Belair and Michin.
Joining the field for her first Money in the Bank Ladder Match is Lyra Valkyria, who defeated Shayna Baszler and Kairi Sane to qualify.
Tiffany Stratton conquered Jade Cargill and Candice LeRae while Naomi defeated Blair Davenport and Indi Hartwell to each qualify.
The final spot was snagged by Zoey Stark who overcomes Ivy Nile and Dakota Kai to qualify.
