3 reasons why WWE made Naomi Ms. Money in the Bank

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 started with the traditional Women’s Ladder Match featuring six top women: Rhea Ripley, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Stephanie Vaquer, and Naomi. The contest was arguably a classic MITB contest with multiple jaw-dropping moments.

The bout ended in chaos as Naomi, using her veteran ring IQ, kept herself low-key and let other women fight for their lives. Meanwhile, she waited for the perfect moment and took out Ripley and Bliss, with the other competitors laid out. The Glow grabbed the ladder, quickly climbed up, unhooked the briefcase, and won the match.

In this article, we look at three reasons why Naomi won the Money in the Bank briefcase:

#3. Noami has become a top heel superstar

Jade Cargill returned to WWE at Elimination Chamber 2025 and attacked Naomi. It was later unveiled that The Glow was indeed her mystery attacker, who took the former AEW star out and took her spot with Bianca Belair as the Women's Tag Team Champions.

With the revelation, Naomi turned heel and has since been on a five-star run. Her dark side has been ruthless and trash-talking. She drew a lot of attention with her recent comments and actions.

She has clinched her spot at the top of the women's division as a top heel. Her winning the Money in the Bank briefcase was yet another hint that she is back in serious title contention.

#2. WWE could add some fresh storylines

WWE, under Triple H’s creative direction, has been nothing but entertaining. However, for some time, the Stamford-based promotion has been receiving backlash for booking similar and repetitive plots with the same old faces.

The global wrestling juggernaut needs some new faces in the spotlight. Naomi getting her flowers and winning the Women’s Money in the Bank has opened multiple new possibilities for her, including possibly title bouts against names like Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, and much more should she cash in successfully.

#1. Adding an unexpected twist

The Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match was stacked with several former champions competing for the ultimate prize. Going into the bout, Naomi was the least favored to clinch a win over all the competitors.

However, The Glow snatching the win in the concluding moments of the match has served as a perfect shocker and an unexpected twist. Her win has now altered the entire trajectory of the women's division in WWE.
