WWE Raw delivered another adrenaline-fueled night of surprises, comebacks, and championship aspirations, with Rhea Ripley firmly reestablishing her dominance—and a fan-favorite Pirate Princess making a stunning return to the ring. In a highly anticipated triple-threat qualifying match for Money in the Bank, Ripley overcame both a spirited Kairi Sane and a briefly present Zoey Stark to advance to the July 7th premium live event.
Rhea Ripley Advances to Money in the Bank as Kairi Sane Makes Triumphant WWE Return
The match started with high-octane energy but quickly shifted gears when Stark appeared to tweak her knee during a springboard maneuver, forcing her exit early in the bout. That left Ripley and Sane to turn the contest into an impromptu one-on-one showdown. And for a moment, it seemed like the returning Sane, resplendent in her iconic Pirate Princess gear, might steal the victory with her trademark agility and heart. She delivered a series of fast-paced strikes and nearly nailed Ripley with her signature InSane Elbow, only to be intercepted mid-flight by a thunderous Ripley boot.

It wasn’t long after that the Judgment Day powerhouse hit Sane with a brutal Riptide for the stacked up pinfall win. The victory not only propels Ripley into the growing Money in the Bank ladder match field but also signals her first major step back toward the Women’s World Championship following her recent absence. For Sane, it was a triumphant return despite the loss, reminding fans why her unique charisma and in-ring precision make her such a beloved figure in WWE lore.
Roxanne Perez and Rhea Ripley Qualify for Money in the Bank, Joining Alexa Bliss in the Lineup
Earlier in the night, Roxanne Perez scored a major upset in another triple threat qualifier, pinning veteran Natalya with her signature Pop Rocks maneuver. That win sets up an intriguing MITB field that now includes Perez, Ripley, and last week’s qualifier, Alexa Bliss.
With the ladder match looming and only a few spots left to fill, the road to Money in the Bank is paved with drama, redemption arcs, and perhaps a golden briefcase for one lucky Superstar.
