Naomi Rises Through the Wreckage to Win Her First Money in the Bank

Nobody had Naomi walking out with the briefcase (except us) — but that’s exactly why she did.

In a match that blurred the line between carnage and art, Naomi defied the odds and outlasted five of WWE’s fiercest women to snatch her first-ever Money in the Bank victory. It wasn’t just a win — it was a statement. The glow isn’t just back… it’s dangerous.

This match was a demolition derby in heels.

From the jump, alliances were formed and broken in seconds. Giulia and Roxanne Perez thought they could double-team Rhea Ripley and take the biggest threat out early. That plan lasted about 30 seconds. Naomi saw the distraction and bolted up the ladder, but Stephanie Vaquer came in like a sniper, snatching Naomi down and launching her own offense.

Vaquer went full chaos queen, taking out Perez and Giulia with surgical precision. In one of the wildest visuals of the night, she tried to climb the ladder with Giulia on her back. It didn’t end well. A brutal German suplex grounded both women.

Naomi got creative, trying to tie Giulia into the ladder like it was a trap — but the Japanese icon wasn’t having it and delivered a suplex that echoed. That’s when Alexa Bliss reappeared like a horror movie jump scare and cleared house, only to get into a ladder-top brawl with Vaquer.

Then all hell broke loose.

Bliss, Vaquer, Perez, and Giulia all climbed two ladders. In one of the night’s most jaw-dropping spots, Bliss powerbombed Vaquer off the ladder and tipped the others over, sending Giulia and Perez crashing like dominoes. The crowd lost their minds.

But that wasn’t the end — far from it. Perez and Giulia bounced back with rage, using a ladder to turn Bliss into a human accordion. Perez then lost her cool and started smashing Giulia’s head into the steel like she was trying to delete her from existence.

Then Ripley rose from the grave like the final boss. She hit the ring like a hurricane, throwing bodies, using Naomi as a human weapon, and absolutely ragdolling Perez in a Razor’s Edge. Alone in the ring, Ripley brought in the tallest ladder she could find and added a ladder bridge just to be sadistic.

She teased a Riptide on Vaquer on that steel bridge — but Vaquer flipped the script and nailed her devastating Devil’s Kiss. The crowd came unglued. Vaquer had it. She climbed. But Perez yanked her back down into reality.

Suddenly, it was all four women again — Perez, Bliss, Naomi, and Vaquer — clawing their way up two ladders. Bliss and Perez hit synchronized Code Reds that sent Naomi and Vaquer crumbling. It looked like either one of them was about to claim victory.

But Giulia had other plans. She climbed like a woman possessed, grabbing the briefcase. Perez met her at the top and things turned ugly. Perez grabbed Giulia by the braids and bounced her head off the ladder. Bliss pulled down Perez, and Ripley caught Giulia — double takedown in stereo. A Riptide and Sister Abigail landed at the same moment, leaving Ripley and Bliss to share a tense, icy stare across the carnage.

But Naomi wasn’t done yet.

Like a shadow rising, she sprinted in and shoved both veterans off the ladder and into another one, bodies crashing in a twisted tangle of steel. With no one left in sight, Naomi climbed rung by rung. The crowd knew. Naomi knew. It was her time.

Click.

She unhooked the briefcase and the building exploded.

Naomi — the woman who’s been overlooked, sidelined, and underrated — just flipped the table. She’s now one contract away from changing the entire women’s division.

Let every champion beware: The glow is no longer just a vibe. It’s a threat.
