The road to the Money in the Bank 2025 Ladder Match reaches its final turn on the June 2 episode of WWE Raw. In a triple-threat match, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano will clash for the sole remaining spot in the men's ladder match, set to take place on June 7.
Solo Sikoa, Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Andrade, and Penta have already secured their spots in the MITB Ladder Match. One spot remains, which will be fought among the WWE Raw stars.
The announcement came during the May 30 episode of WWE Smackdown, revealing that AJ Styles and CM Punk will face each other for the first time inside a WWE ring since the 2025 Royal Rumble. While they¡¯ve never met in a singles or triple threat match in WWE before, their highly acclaimed matches in Ring of Honor back in 2004 make this a must-watch. However, both stars come to the match with rivalries brewing.?
?CM Punk¡¯s road to this qualifier is filled with tension, mainly because of his ongoing feud with Seth Rollins and the newly formed faction, which includes Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. The rivalry heated up recently when Punk ran from behind to hit Rollins with a surprise GTS on last week¡¯s Raw, leaving the faction stunned.?
This bitter feud dates back to earlier clashes, such as the triple threat match at WrestleMania 41, where Seth Rollins defeated CM Punk and Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman¡¯s help. More recently, Rollins¡¯ faction, with Bronson Reed¡¯s support, secured a victory over Punk and Sami Zayn in a tag team match on Saturday Night¡¯s Main Event, adding more fuel to the fire.
Seth Rollins has already qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where CM Punk may end up facing him if the ¡°Second City Saint¡± qualifies in the upcoming WWE Raw episode.?
Chad Gable just got cooked by AJ Styles

?AJ Styles enters this qualifier with his own set of grievances, particularly towards El Grande Americano. Styles suspects that El Grande is, in fact, Chad Gable, who allegedly assisted The Judgment Day in a previous tag team match against Styles and Penta. This suspicion led to a backstage altercation where Styles attacked Gable, further fueling the animosity between them. Chad Gable, having previously failed to qualify on May 26, sees this match as a second chance to prove himself (as El Grande Americano).?
As the final spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match hangs in the balance, the intertwining rivalries and personal vendettas promise a thrilling and unpredictable contest on Raw.
