WWE Raw May 19: Rhea Ripley joins Alexa Bliss and Roxanne Perez in Money in the Bank match
Rhea Ripley is back in the big picture. On WWE Raw, she booked her place in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match with a strong win in a triple threat qualifier. It wasn't smooth though. Zoey Stark hurt her knee early in the match and had to be helped out by officials. That left just Ripley and Kairi Sane in the ring. The pace slowed down for a bit as they both tried to settle into what became more like a one-on-one match. From that point, Ripley took control and showed why she's still one of the top names in the women's division.

This win is a big step forward for Ripley. She hasn't looked the same since losing her Women's World title before WrestleMania 41. But now, with a spot in the June 7 ladder match, she has a chance to climb back to the top. She joins Alexa Bliss and Roxanne Perez as the first three names confirmed for the 2025 Money in the Bank. This year's event will take place at the Intuit Dome and will stream worldwide on Netflix. With the briefcase in sight, Ripley is back in the race for gold.

This match was also special for Kairi Sane. She returned after being out for months with a hand injury. Fans were happy to see her back, and she looked sharp. She gave Ripley a tough fight and came close to winning it. Kairi Sane went for her InSane Elbow from the top rope, but Ripley blocked it with a big boot. That moment turned the match. Ripley quickly followed up with a Riptide and got the pin.
Now Ripley has her eyes on the briefcase. She wants her title back, and this win could be the start of something big.
