Who will capture the championship opportunity of a lifetime?

It’s time for WWE Money in the Bank, one of the biggest premium live events on the wrestling company’s calendar. The event is headlined by the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank matches, where the winner of each match will earn a contract for a championship opportunity at any point in the next year. Each match will have six competitors but only one person will be able to climb up the ladder and snatch the coveted briefcase.

There are also three other matches taking place Saturday night. The World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships will be on the line, and the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline will reach a new chapter in a six-man tag team match.

Something about Money in the Bank and John Cena.

Trish Stratus came out and announced a surprise guest: the 16-time WWE Champion John Cena. His music hit and the crowd erupted, making another entrance just like how he did at Money in the Bank 2021.

Cena then revealed he was retiring from WWE.

Sami Zayn had the home country advantage, but Bron Breakker wasn’t fazed by it, going quickly after the champion. However, Zayn isn’t just some squash opponent; he has finesse and is one of the smartest wrestlers in the company, and he showed he wouldn’t go down easy, taking some shots that seemed to surprise the challenger.

There were spots where Breakker would deliver one of his signature hard-hitting counters to get on offense, including a Franken-steiner to Zayn off the top rope. Breakker had words for Zayn after he kicked out and they went outside of the ring. Breakker tried to do his top-speed spear around the ring, only for Zayn to jump over. Breakker didn’t run into the steel steps, so he had time to recover, get onto the mat and deliver a flying clothesline to Zayn off the announcer’s table.

Breakker had the opening and went for the final blow. Zayn got out of the way with clipped him. With the challenger hanging off the turnbuckle, Zayn delivered a helluva kick, knocking Breakker out and getting the pin to retain the title.

Analysis: Anyone could have made the case for either star to win, but it made sense for Breakker to get his first big push now. He has unlimited potential and a win would have launched his career to new heights. Zayn is the ideal champion that can compete with anybody on the roster and isn’t someone that’ll go down easily.

A major theme in the match was while Breakker was able to showcase his power and speed, he learned his opponents aren’t just going to be out in seconds. It takes skill to win, and it’ll be something for him to work on as he works his way up to the top. Don’t be surprised if this isn’t the only meeting between the two.

The chaos started as soon as the bell rang, and Drew McIntyre emerged as the first person to attempt to grab the briefcase, only for the quick ending to be spoiled by Chad Gable and Andrade. “El Idolo” then did an impressive Spanish fly to Hayes and onto the ladder. The crowd was clearly loving the energy.

LA Knight and Jey Uso were the fan favorites and they traded barbs at the top of the ladder, with the crowd chanting “yeet” and “yeah” with every blow. Hayes disrupted the moment and had a chance to grab the ladder, only to again be taken out by Andrade. Andrade then delivered an insane sunset flip power bomb to Hayes onto the ladder. Moments later, Gable launched LA Knight out of the ring and to a ladder out of the ring.

Gable went to get the briefcase, but Uso moved the ladder, leaving Gable hanging off the briefcase. He couldn’t grab it and fell face first onto the mat. Uso had a prime chance to win, only for McIntyre to hit Uso with a ladder. It knocked him off, and McIntyre was all by himself. He climbed up the ladder and grabbed the briefcase to secure his championship opportunity.

Analysis: There were plenty of spots in this one to create some stunning moves that a Money in the Bank match is expected to have. It was easy to tell there were only three contenders that really had a chance to win, and while it was expected, McIntyre’s victory makes sense given he has the best story going on right now since WrestleMania. The win adds intrigue to the World Heavyweight Championship match since he said he will cash in later on in the night? Will he do so? Or does CM Punk have another surprise up his sleeve?

WWE Hall of Famer and Toronto native Trish Stratus is the host of Money in the Bank, and she got the night started by welcoming the crowd to Scotiabank Arena. Ring announcer Samantha Irvin then sang the U.S. national anthem and artist Rylan James sang the Canada national anthem.

Money in the Bank 2024 will be July 6 at 7 p.m. ET.

Money in the Bank will take place in Toronto, Canada. It will be held in Scotiabank Arena.

The event can be streamed on Peacock, but you must have their premium or premium-plus subscription to watch. Internationally, it will be available on WWE Network.

Winning the Money in the Bank match means a title bout against any champion anywhere, at any time, and it is often a success.

On the men’s side, 19 of 24 (79%) briefcase holders went on to claim the title they cash in on. The women’s side has seen perfection with all seven holders becoming champions.

The Money in the Bank match was introduced at WrestleMania 21 in 2005 and it was annually held at WWE’s premier event until it became its own premium live event in 2010. For a few years, there were two men’s Money in the Bank matches until there became a sole men’s match.

Here is the history of winners:

2005: Edge (at WrestleMania 21)2006: Rob Van Dam (WrestleMania 22)2007: Mr. Kennedy (WrestleMania 23)2008: CM Punk (WrestleMania 24)2009: CM Punk (WrestleMania 25)2010: Jack Swagger (WrestleMania 26)2010: Kane2010: The Miz2011: Daniel Bryan2011: Alberto Del Rio2012: Dolph Ziggler2012: John Cena2013: Damien Sandow2013: Randy Orton2014: Seth Rollins2015: Sheamus2016: Dean Ambrose2017: Baron Corbin2018: Braun Strowman2019: Brock Lesnar2020: Otis2021: Big E2022: Austin Theory2023: Damian Priest

The Women’s Money in the Bank match was added in 2017 and has been held every year since then. Here is the history of the match:

2017: Carmella2018: Alexa Bliss2019: Bayley2020: Asuka2021: Nikki A.S.H.2022: Liv Morgan2023: Iyo Sky

Will there be a shocking ending or dramatic return on Saturday night?

Ahead of Money in the Bank, WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque dropped a hint that fans may get something extra during the premium live event.

“Got a few surprises in the tank. So, it’s going to be a fun night,” Levesque said on social media.

There will be some high stakes in the World Heavyweight Championship match between Damian Priest and Seth Rollins. If Rollins wins, then Priest must leave The Judgment Day, but if Priest wins, then Rollins cannot challenge for the title as long as Priest remains champion.

Cody Rhodes says prior to his entrance music “Wrestling has more than one royal family,” and while it’s true, there’s another WWE star making a solid case for his family to be in the picture.

Son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner – both WWE Hall of Famers – Bron Breakker has exploded onto the scene ever since he arrived at the company in 2021. He won the NXT Championship twice and the NXT Tag Team Championship, and since his callup to the main roster, he’s become someone with unlimited potential. He’s been nothing but dominant since his arrival, and he’ll have the biggest match of his young career Saturday when he challenges Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship during WWE’s 2024 Money in The Bank event.

So even though he isn’t exactly a “genetic freak” like his uncle, Breakker has proven there is no star like him.

“With what I’m doing, I’m not so sure anyone’s ever done it before,” Breakker told USA TODAY Sports.
