Money in the Bank qualifying matches have taken center stage on both SmackDown and Raw. One of the most anticipated matches on Monday night was Chad Gable taking on Penta and Dragon Lee in a Triple Threat match. Their chemistry was completely off the charts, with all three superstars hitting their signature moves on each other.
However, during an incredible match, there was one spot that left all the fans shocked and concerned. Penta tried to take advantage of the situation by hitting a Tiger Driver ’98, attempting to lift both of his opponents first. However, Gable wasn’t in the right position and suffered a bad landing right on his neck. Surprisingly, the American Made leader was completely fine, and the match continued.
In the final moments of the match, as Gable climbed onto the top rope, El Hijo del Vikingo kicked him, taking revenge for being attacked earlier. Penta took advantage, hit Lee with the Mexican Destroyer, and picked up the win by hitting Gable with the Penta Driver. He became the third wrestler overall—and the first from Raw—to qualify for the 2025 Money in the Bank ladder match. Seth Rollins also qualified from Raw later in the main event.
LA Knight and Solo Sikoa have already qualified by winning their respective matches on SmackDown. The match between Penta, Gable, and Lee was very well received by the fans, with many calling it the best match of the night. The American Made leader is scheduled to have a singles match against Vikingo on June 7th at Worlds Collide.
AJ Styles might interfere in Chad Gable-Vikingo’s match at WWE NXT Worlds Collide?
One of the most well-known figures in WWE, AJ Styles, is not participating in Money in the Bank this year. Names such as Sikoa, Penta, Rollins, and Knight are already starting to appear on the match card, but Styles is not mentioned on that list. Since he has nothing scheduled for the main roster show; he might maintain his prominence by making an unexpected cameo at Worlds Collide.
Styles stunned everyone by attacking the Olympian backstage during the May 27 broadcast of Raw. Vikingo’s interference caused Gable to lose his Money in the Bank qualifying match. Backstage after the match, a bloodied and irate Gable confronted him. However, The Phenomenal One suddenly appeared and punched the latter in his injured face as soon as he walked away.
Many fans are clamoring for Styles to win the championship once again. The last time he was in the title picture was against Cody Rhodes in 2024. Both stars put on a show at Backlash. Their rivalry concluded at Clash at the Castle, where they competed in an ‘I Quit’ match. Unfortunately, the former WWE Champion lost both encounters.
