The May 23 episode of WWE SmackDown went down at the EnMarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia. Money in the Bank was thick in the air, and that included qualifying matches.
This weeks SmackDown featured a Mens Money in the Bank Qualifying Match. The participants were Aleister Black, LA Knight, and Shinsuke Nakamura. The winner would move one step closer to earning a spot in the ladder match.
This match kicked off the shows third hour, and fans were more than ready to see it go down. Everyone in the contest had a chance to steal the spotlight. They also went through a commercial break.
Fans were behind Aleister Black in a big way, as they chanted for him as he fought toe-to-toe with Shinsuke Nakamura. They traded some stiff strikes, but the two soon separated.
Black caught Nakamuras knee when he tried for a Kinsasha. Then Black landed a Black Mass on Nakamura, but LA Knight threw him out of the ring to steal the pinfall. Now, LA Knight is on his way to Money in the bank.
During the May 16 episode of WWE SmackDown, we saw Solo Sikoa clinch the first spot in the Mens Money in the Bank match. They did not hold any mens qualifying matches on RAW this week, but they will next week.
The 2025 Money in the Bank event will take place on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. We will have to see what happens, but we will certainly have full coverage here at Ringside News.
