John Cena warns media, he will ruin wrestling, he is the last real champion in WWE

After making history at WrestleMania 41, John Cena warns the media that he will ruin wrestling and he is the last real champion in WWE

INGLEWOOD, CA — Who will be the one to grab the coveted briefcase?

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 has arrived as one of wrestling’s popular matches is back to grant stars the chance to propel their career toward glory. The titular men’s and women’s matches of the evening will each have six competitors vying to be the one to climb the ladder and snatch the contract that grants a championship opportunity at any point in the next year. 

Two other matches are scheduled, including Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch battling it out once again. Plus, there’s the strange tag team match up of John Cena and Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

Money in the Bank always invites mayhem, and plenty of it could be in store Saturday night. Follow USA TODAY Sports’ for all the action from the Intuit Dome.

Match in progress.

After the stare down to start, Stephanie Vaquer and Alexa Bliss had early chances to shine. There was an open window for Giulia to be the first attempt, but she opted for blows with Rhea Ripley, a decision that didn’t pan out. Then came an impressive sequence from Roxanne Perez, who launched herself onto Ripley on top of a ladder twice. Perez became the first attempt at snagging the briefcase, and it was quickly thwarted by Bliss and Giulia. Understanding the danger of Ripley, Perez and Giulia teamed up and stacked several ladders on top of her to prevent her from getting involved.

Giulia tried to stop attempts up the ladder until Bliss got her out of the way. As four of the competitors tried to get on the ladder, Bliss knocked them down. Soon afterward, she took a hard drop onto the side of the ladder by Perez and Giulia. Then Ripley emerged from the pile of ladders, bringing carnage to the ones that put her down. Ripley nearly threw Vaquer onto a ladder, but it was countered with Vaquer’s signature Devil’s Kiss on the hardware.

Naomi, Perez, Vaquer and Bliss all tried to get an upper hand onto the ladder, and destroyers from Bliss and Vaquer wiped them all out. Giulia was the lone standing and had the opportunity until Perez got up to challenger her. They each traded blows on top of the ladder before Bliss and Ripley got back involved. Bliss hit Sister Abigail on Perez and Ripley landed a Riptide on Giulia, leaving the veterans standing in the ring.

Bliss and Ripley were on top of the ladder when Naomi rushed in and pushed them off. Naomi hurried to set the ladder up and climbed up to snag the briefcase to become Ms. Money in the Bank.

Analysis: Like usual, the women’s match was magnificent. Each star was given a chance to shine and the new main roster call-ups in Vaquer, Perez and Giulia each got a chance to boost their profile. If an MVP award was given out, it would have to go down to Perez and Vaquer for all the spots they were able to generate. Ripley had her usual crowd-pumping moments, and Bliss showed she’s still capable of being a main event name if she gets the chances.

A case could have been made for each star to win, but Naomi just seemed destined to be the victor. She has mastered this heel turn and made herself more valuable when she could have been fading toward the back of the roster. Instead, she’s completely turned around the WrestleMania 41 loss into some solid momentum. She ensures her relevancy and could be another family member of The Bloodline to hold gold in recent years. History is also made as she’s the first Black woman to win a Money in the Bank match.

Naomi had become a dangerous woman in 2025. Now, Naomi becomes even more dangerous with the briefcase in her hand.

One way to identify who are the top wrestlers is by who has a nickname. More often than not, those with a tag are some of the greats.

There’s “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels. “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns. “The Viper” Randy Orton. “The Man” Becky Lynch. “The Champ” John Cena. The list goes on and on. 

Then there’s Roxanne Perez.

From the moment she signed with WWE at age 20, Perez has been dubbed “The Prodigy.” Meaning a highly talented youth, the nickname set incredible expectations for her. How can you be named “The Prodigy” and not become an instant success? The bar was set incredibly high for the woman standing at 5-foot tall.

So far, Perez has soared above every benchmark set on her.

The final Money in the Bank appearance for John Cena has arrived as he embarks on his final year of wrestling. His tag team match will be the sixth match of 2025 as the year is nearly halfway complete. The 17-time WWE Champion is 4-1 on the year.
