Money in the Bank is WWE's next major Premium Live Event (PLE), and its flagship match offers massive opportunities for two lucky Superstars.
Not only does this give them an opportunity to win a world title, it could also mean that they become the person who dethrones Cena's record-breaking 17th championship reign.
More Pro Wrestling: Recently Released Superstar Working With WWE Again
So let's take a look at the wrestlers who should be the ones to raise the briefcase over their heads in June.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 07: Damian Priest cashes in the Money in the Bank briefcase during Night Two at Lincoln Financial Field on April 07, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Sadly, Chelsea Green no longer has the Women's United States Championship, having recently dropped it to Zelina Vega. While this could be seen as a negative, there is actually massive upside for Green: she can now go for a world title.
Given her persona and the likely assistance of the Secret Hervice, there is no doubt that Green could make a meal of having the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn will always be wildly over with the crowd due to his constant underdog status and his unbelievable likability. Despite this, one thing has always eluded Zayn: a world championship.
With the briefcase, Zayn can immediately put himself in the main event scene and give himself the major boost he needs to overcome that final milestone.
Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez remains one of the most exciting new talents on the main roster. And she more than proved that she is ready for the main event with her performance at the Royal Rumble.
Perez firmly established herself as a star in NXT, having won the NXT Women's Championship twice. Now, she could do the same by winning Women's Money in the Bank.
Drew McIntyre
Even though Drew McIntyre won the Men's Money in the Bank match last year, he was unable to cash in and lost the briefcase in a single day.
Since he is on a redemption tour this year, attacking everyone who has wronged him, it would only make sense for McIntyre to win the ladder match again, but this time be more patient and successful with his cash-in. Plus, this could give him a more satisfying title run than his previous two.
Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley remains one of the most dominant WWE Superstars on the roster, having won multiple world titles as well as the Women's Royal Rumble. It seems that all is missing is the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Ripley would be excellent with the briefcase, likely utilizing it in menacing fashion rather than being sneaky. Nothing would be scarier to a champion than when she showed up ringside and cashed in with pomp and circumstance.
Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio may be a heel right now, but the massive reaction he received at WrestleMania 41 when he won the Intercontinental Championship shows that this may not be the case for long.
Even if he were to make a face turn, his character likely wouldn't change, meaning he could still perform a sneaky cash-in. Plus, if Ripley were to also win, the photos of them together would be hilarious.
Naomi
Naomi has been on a tear, proving why she is one of the most underrated and valuable members of the WWE roster. She more than deserves her flowers for her excellent work recently, and the Money in the Bank briefcase is the way to get there.
Additionally, this would be a great way to introduce Jade Cargill to the main event scene given the two's history.

WWE legend Charlotte Flair shows athletic prowess at Fanantics Fest 2025 NYC
WWE Superstars were all over Fanatics Fest 2025 NYC. The one who did the most work was Charlotte Flair, who tried her hands and feet at many different sports, none of them involving wrestling. The 14-time women's champion ran into a current WWE champion, the heel John Cena. No word on whether they traded secrets on how to be diabolical in the squared circle. Flair is chasing a championship currently. She won the Royal Rumble in 2025, becoming the 11th person to capture the event more than once. However, she failed to add a 15th title to her resume when she lost to Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania. There's always hope in WWE, though.

Gen Z Woman's Bizarre Pregnancy Craving Goes Viral—It's Cereal With a Twist
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Gen Z mom to be is raising eyebrows online after sharing her latest pregnancy craving. London-based Lidia Mera (@lidiavmera) told TikTok viewers that it was the time of day where she needed her "current hyper fixation" snack now that she's in her third trimester. "It's a little bit... I wouldn't say weird, but let's just say interesting," Mera said in her clip. The 24-year-old then prepares a bowl of chocolate hazelnut cereal complete with milk and ice cubes and an unexpectedly generous splash of soy sauce. Mera told Newsweek that her pregnancy craving is a sweet and salty snack that "somehow" works perfectly. "The perfect fusion between refreshing ice cold milk, chocolate filled crunchy cereal for the sweetness and then finishing it off with soy sauce to add that salty element into it—the perfect combo," she said. As someone who's always had a sweet tooth, Mera explained that she's started to also crave salty foods since becoming pregnant. "I tried to find a way to incorporate that salty element into a snack I regularly have: a bowl of cereal, and soy sauce just sounded like the perfect solution," she told Newsweek. "The ice cubes came in to make the milk even colder because when you're pregnant anything ice cold is just immediately 10 times better." Mera's clip has been viewed over 228,000 times and asked TikTok users to "rate" her pregnancy craving in the comments. "Sweet and salty is a foolproof combo so I'm not entirely surprised that this works but damn that soy sauce came out of nowhere," one user wrote. "I have soy sauce on basically everything so I get it," another user added. "Soy sauce and milk? Hell nah," a third wrote. Dr. Shyamala Vishnumohan, an accredited practicing dietitian with a special interest in fertility and pregnancy nutrition, told Newsweek that there's a reason behind pregnancy cravings. "I've seen women crave everything from raw mango with salt to tamarind, amla or even green chilli," she said. "From a scientific standpoint, they're partly driven by hormonal shifts and partly by nutrient needs." Vishnumohan also pointed to research that shows up to 90 percent of women experience cravings during pregnancy, with most occurring during the first and second trimesters. "I also believe pregnant mothers carry this intuitive body wisdom—gently nudging them toward what they need," she said. "It's a beautiful mystery." As for other cravings, Mera said she's been all about "red meat, fries, ice cream—and even better when you pair it or dip it in soy sauce." The expectant mom told Newsweek her pregnancy craving elicited a mix of opinions. "Some people saying it's absolutely horrifying and some people agreeing that this could actually be a good combo, but not sure if anyone is actually keen enough to give it a go," she said.

How Lewis Hamilton Made the F1 Movie Production More Expensive
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton contributed to the "F1" movie as a producer with the responsibility of increasing the film's realism. As a seven-time world champion, Hamilton knows a thing or two about Formula 1, having raced for years all over the world in several generations of cars. His extensive experience rivals only Fernando Alonso on the grid, making him a valuable adviser for the movie. The British driver took his job very seriously, making sure his thoughts were taken into consideration. Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris attend the Apple Original Films & Warner Bros. Pictures "F1" World Premiere in Times Square on June 16, 2025 in New York City. Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris attend the Apple Original Films & Warner Bros. Pictures "F1" World Premiere in Times Square on June 16, 2025 in New York City. Photo byHamilton demanded that the lead actors, Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, do several practice laps at different tracks to get a real feel for the cars and how they handle. He did not want to be a token producer, but rather to make the movie as true to the sport as possible. One of the movie producers, Jerry Bruckheimer, detailed the extensive scrutiny Hamilton provided and what he advocated for in the name of realism. "Lewis Hamilton saw a part of it and gave us a critique of how the drivers actually do various things," Bruckheimer said. "The level of specifics that he gave us, like in Silverstone in Turn 3 you're in second gear, and he could hear with his ear we [Pitt] were in third gear. "So it's that kind of thing that he's bringing to the movie. "And he said... when he finishes a race, especially like Singapore, where it's very hot, he can barely get out of the car, they lose 10 pounds... and it's not only him, it's all of them. "They're just completely exhausted [and] we're going to show what it takes to be an F1 driver." The filmmakers made several different decisions to enhance the realism, including using real racing cars, filming the movie at real tracks, and capturing real F1 teams for the background. All these elements further connect the movie to the real-life sport. While the film is better off with all the realism, the production costs went up as a result. "Everything that he has brought to this movie, I can't even express our thanks to him and all the folks from F1 who made this all possible," Bruckheimer added. "But the authenticity that he brings, we can't imagine what goes into what a driver does, and what the sport brings to an audience. "Sometimes we don't like to hear some of the things he says, because it costs us more money to fix things, but we're all in, we want to make it great, and he's certainly helping us." "F1" hits the big screen on June 27. Apple Films produced the movie, and Joseph Kosinski - of "Top Gun" fame - directed it.
