We’ve also got results from last night’s WWE Raw, the final stop before WrestleMania, and a preview for tonight’s NXT Stand & Deliver go-home show.

Let’s dig in!

🗓️ On This Day - 2020

The Most Bizarre Bank Heist in WWE History

5 years ago today, WWE aired one of its most unique and chaotic Money in the Bank matches ever—filmed cinematically inside Titan Towers in Stamford, Connecticut. With the world in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE pivoted to a wild, pre-taped format that blended action, comedy, and cinematic mayhem.

Men and women competed simultaneously in two intertwined matches that saw them fight from the ground floor of WWE headquarters all the way up to the rooftop, where the briefcases were suspended above a ring. Along the way, they crashed through conference rooms, gym equipment, and even a Vince McMahon cameo.

Asuka outlasted the women’s field—which included Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Dana Brooke, Carmella, and Lacey Evans—to claim the contract. On the men’s side, Otis stunned everyone by winning the briefcase after AJ Styles fumbled it into his hands during a scuffle with King Corbin.

Also competing were Aleister Black, Daniel Bryan, and Rey Mysterio—both of whom were hilariously tossed off the roof (and later revealed to be fine).

It was weird, it was wild, and it was one of the most unforgettable Money in the Bank matches of all time.

WWE Raw Results - April 14th, 2025

How it started

GUNTHER sent a terrifying message to Jey Uso. Michael Cole opened the show in the ring with World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER. The Ring General dismissed Jey Uso’s claims of confidence and said he was fully in control when he bathed in Jimmy Uso’s blood. He promised to not only beat Jey at WrestleMania for the fourth straight time but to call their mother afterward and tell her how much he enjoyed it.

How it ended

Rollins stood tall after chaos erupted between Reigns, Punk, and Heyman. Roman Reigns addressed the crowd, accusing Paul Heyman of betrayal for helping CM Punk. Seth Rollins interrupted and claimed Heyman made a conscious choice to side with Punk. Roman attacked Seth, then shoved Heyman down after a feigned moment of trust. Punk ran in for the save but got Speared. Rollins returned with a steel chair, took out both Punk and Reigns, and stood over them as Heyman cowered in fear.

Everything else that happened

Bayley def. Liv Morgan. After interference from Raquel Rodriguez and Lyra Valkyria, Bayley rolled Liv up with a jackknife pin. A post-match brawl broke out between all four women.

Logan Paul aired a highlight reel about his stardom to mock Styles. Styles tried to fight him, but Kross provided a distraction. Paul laid Styles out with a loaded punch.
