WWE Money in the Bank 2023 results: Usos run the table; Damian Priest, Iyo Sky win MITB
It's time to climb the ladder, grab the briefcase and capture the opportunity of a lifetime at Money in the Bank.
For the first time in its 16-year history, Money in the Bank took place outside the U.S., with the ladder-match event held at The O2 Arena in London.
Aside from the men's and women's matches, five other matches took place Saturday afternoon, three of which were title matches − the women's tag team championship, intercontinental championship and world heavyweight championship.
In other competition, Cody Rhodes fought Dominik Mysterio of "The Judgment Day," and the latest chapter of the epic meltdown of The Bloodline in its "civil war" was written, with a shocking ending to one of the best storylines in WWE.

Men's Money in the Bank match: Ricochet vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar vs. Butch vs. Damian Priest vs. Logan Paul
Is The Judgment Day about to be one of the best factions in WWE?
It came down to crowd-favorite LA Knight vs. Damian Priest at the end of the Money in the Bank match, but the Priest converted a broken arrow off the top of the ladder, knocking LA Knight down, securing the briefcase and securing a title shot.

Later on, Priest proclaimed himself "Señor" Money in the Bank.
Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan
What a turn of events.
Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler were dominant for much of the match, but in a random moment, Baszler turned on Rousey − with no warning − and attacked her. Morgan was shocked as Baszler left the ring, and Rodriguez delivered the final punch to pin Rousey, reclaiming the titles they never lost.
Intercontinental Championship Match: Gunther (c) vs. Matt Riddle
The reign of the "Ring General" continues, as Gunther handled Riddle the majority of the match, forcing him to submit to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
But the fireworks weren't over. After the match, Drew McIntyre returned to the ring for the first time since WrestleMania 39. There have been questions whether McIntyre would return, but showing up to headbutt and land a claymore on Gunther showed we have a renewed rivalry for the title.

Cody Rhodes vs. Dominik Mysterio
The "American Nightmare" became the "England Nightmare" with a seemingly easy win over Mysterio.
Mysterio landed some quality moves, along with WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley interfering a couple of times. But Rhodes has much more experience, and with the crowd overwhelmingly behind him, secured the victory.
John Cena returns
Even overseas, John Cena is still finding ways to shock WWE.
After Cody Rhodes defeated Dominik Mysterio at Money in the Bank in London, Cena's "The Time is Now" started blaring inside the O2 Arena, sending the crowd into a frenzy as Cena emerged from the tunnel.
Donning his typical gear, Cena made it to the ring and performed his usual antics before finally taking the mic.
"Surprise!" Cena said.

Women's Money in the Bank match: Zelina Vega vs. Becky Lynch vs. Zoey Stark vs. Bayley vs. Iyo Sky vs. Trish Stratus
Damage CTRL might be done, but Iyo Sky won't mind, as she is the new Ms. Money in the Bank.
The match was full of high-flying and extreme moves, but the turning point was Bayley knocking Sky off the ladder just as she was about to grab the briefcase. It was then between Bayley and Becky Lynch, but Sky reappeared with handcuffs, locking Bayley and Lynch together between the ladder. Sky climbed over her Damage CTRL leader and grabbed the briefcase.
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Seth 'Freakin' Rollins (c) vs. Finn Bálor
We already saw one faction crumble Saturday, and there’s question marks surrounding another.
Injured World Heavyweight champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins struggled to gain any advantage against The Judgement Day’s Finn Bálor, as the momentum went back and forth with both stars. Things got interesting when Money in the Bank winner and The Judgement Day partner Damian Priest came out, showing interest in cashing in his title opportunity.
The decision rattled Rollins, but when it looked like Bálor was set to become the new champion, Priest’s presence distracted Bálor, which allowed Rollins to hit a curb stomp to not only retain the title, but show some cracks in the dominant faction.
Bloodline Civil War: The Usos vs. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa
The main event of the night lived up to the expectations, and had the crowd fully into every move each star made.
The tension was built for weeks, and they gave it their all in this match. It appeared several times one team was going to end up on top, but kick-out after kick-out had everyone in disbelief. The Usos hit a 1D on Roman Reigns, but the referee was knocked out so no count was made. Reigns and Sikoa then hit a Samoan spike-spear combination, and then stacked the Usos for the pin, but shockingly the twins kicked out.
After getting Sikoa out of the match, Reigns looked like he had a win, but Jey Uso had a sneaky shot on Reigns to throw him off. They then did several superkicks on Reigns, before Jey Uso hit a frogsplash on Reigns to do the unthinkable: pin Reigns.
Not only was it a major win for the Usos, but it was the first time Reigns was pinned since December 2019.
