Superstars started to fill in the fray for the Money in the Bank 2025 ladder matches set for the titular premium live event, earlier next month, starting from the latest episode of Friday Night Smackdown. Two qualifiers for entering the upcoming ladder matches went down on the May 16 episode that took place at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
In the opening match of the show, Alexa Bliss defeated Chelsea Green and Michin in a Triple Threat Match to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank 2025 Ladder Match. Green almost scored the pinfall victory after downing Michin with the Unprettier finisher. But Bliss stopped the referee’s count and hit Green with her Sister Abigail DDT to secure the win.

Later that night on Smackdown, Solo Sikoa defeated Rey Fenix and Jimmy Uso in a Threat Match to qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank 2025 Ladder Match. Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo (FKA Jeff Cobb) tried to interfere in the match in favor of Sikoa, which allowed Sikoa to pin Fenix after hitting him with the Samoan Spike.
After the match, LA Knight attacked Mateo for costing him the US title match opportunity at Backlash, which led to Nick Aldis booking an impromptu match where Mateo defeated Knight in his Smackdown debut.
