Money in the Bank 2022 buildups progressed through this week’s edition of WWE Raw with a couple of qualifying matches. The first men’s division qualifier from the red brand was also hosted on the June 13 episode of WWE Raw.
Seth Rollins defeated AJ Styles in it to officially qualify for the Men’s Money In The Bank 2022 ladder match. Rollins picked up the win after dodging the Styles Clash move and countering it with a roll-up for the pin-fall win in this match featuring the top superstars from Monday Night Raw roster.
Prior to the match, Rollins cut a promo on taking out Cody Rhodes with a heinous attack, last week where he also promised to win Money in the Bank 2022 ladder match. Rollins won the 2014 edition of the MITB ladder match and would go on to cash in his contract during the main event of WrestleMania 31 where Brock Lesnar was defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns.

Seth Rollins is the favorite heading into Money in the Bank 2022
Rollins ran into the ring and cash in the briefcase successfully to pin Roman Reigns to become the new world champion. This moment is often helmed as the ‘heist of the century’ in WWE’s history and also the best cash-in in the entire Money In The Bank history. Going by Rollins’ experience, he’s obviously one of the favorites to win the Money in the Bank 2022 ladder match.
As for AJ Styles, he has competed in two Money In The Bank matches, first in 2017 in a match that featured Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, Dolph Ziggler, and the winner, Baron Corbin. He then participated in the 2020 edition of the match that took place at the WWE HQ. Otis won that match but The Miz eventually held the briefcase and cashed it in successfully on then WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
