Money in the Bank is WWE's next major Premium Live Event (PLE), and its flagship match offers massive opportunities for two lucky Superstars.
Not only does this give them an opportunity to win a world title, it could also mean that they become the person who dethrones Cena's record-breaking 17th championship reign.
More Pro Wrestling: Recently Released Superstar Working With WWE Again
So let's take a look at the wrestlers who should be the ones to raise the briefcase over their heads in June.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 07: Damian Priest cashes in the Money in the Bank briefcase during Night Two at Lincoln Financial Field on April 07, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Sadly, Chelsea Green no longer has the Women's United States Championship, having recently dropped it to Zelina Vega. While this could be seen as a negative, there is actually massive upside for Green: she can now go for a world title.
Given her persona and the likely assistance of the Secret Hervice, there is no doubt that Green could make a meal of having the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn will always be wildly over with the crowd due to his constant underdog status and his unbelievable likability. Despite this, one thing has always eluded Zayn: a world championship.
With the briefcase, Zayn can immediately put himself in the main event scene and give himself the major boost he needs to overcome that final milestone.
Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez remains one of the most exciting new talents on the main roster. And she more than proved that she is ready for the main event with her performance at the Royal Rumble.
Perez firmly established herself as a star in NXT, having won the NXT Women's Championship twice. Now, she could do the same by winning Women's Money in the Bank.
Drew McIntyre
Even though Drew McIntyre won the Men's Money in the Bank match last year, he was unable to cash in and lost the briefcase in a single day.
Since he is on a redemption tour this year, attacking everyone who has wronged him, it would only make sense for McIntyre to win the ladder match again, but this time be more patient and successful with his cash-in. Plus, this could give him a more satisfying title run than his previous two.
Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley remains one of the most dominant WWE Superstars on the roster, having won multiple world titles as well as the Women's Royal Rumble. It seems that all is missing is the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Ripley would be excellent with the briefcase, likely utilizing it in menacing fashion rather than being sneaky. Nothing would be scarier to a champion than when she showed up ringside and cashed in with pomp and circumstance.
Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio may be a heel right now, but the massive reaction he received at WrestleMania 41 when he won the Intercontinental Championship shows that this may not be the case for long.
Even if he were to make a face turn, his character likely wouldn't change, meaning he could still perform a sneaky cash-in. Plus, if Ripley were to also win, the photos of them together would be hilarious.
Naomi
Naomi has been on a tear, proving why she is one of the most underrated and valuable members of the WWE roster. She more than deserves her flowers for her excellent work recently, and the Money in the Bank briefcase is the way to get there.
Additionally, this would be a great way to introduce Jade Cargill to the main event scene given the two's history.

Pregnant Cat Gets Ready To Give Birth—Her Partner Won't Leave Her Side
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A male cat's unwavering presence beside a pregnant feline has melted the hearts of viewers online, after a short video of the pair went viral on TikTok. Posted by @sophiasenchi on June 13, the video has garnered more than 4.1 million views and 806,000 likes, resonating with animal lovers drawn to the intimate moment between the expectant feline couple. The clip, which runs just 13 seconds, shows a female cat lying in a pen as she appears to prepare for labor. Nearby, a male cat watches closely, his gaze fixed on her with what many viewers have described as unmistakable concern. The video's on-screen text reads: "Dad being so concerned that mama is in pain and about to give birth," while the caption adds: "He kept crying for her." The post has prompted more than 1,700 comments, many expressing admiration for the male cat's attentive behavior and the emotional bond on display. The brief but powerful footage offers a rare glimpse into the social dynamics of domestic cats, an area of animal behavior that remains less documented than their canine counterparts. While it is uncommon for male cats to play a role in birth or kitten-rearing in the wild or in most domestic settings, viewers were struck by the tenderness on display. TikTok users flooded the comment section with responses describing the scene as heartwarming and emotionally stirring. "They kissed in the beginning," one viewer said, while another added: "First supportive cat baby daddy I've seen." "His little ears down," a third viewer commented. "If cats don't leave their wives when they're pregnant we shouldn't too," another said. "Please tell at least some of the babies inherited his ears," a different viewer said. "Boy cats are the sweetest," another added. "Mine stayed to watch her through the entire birth process and cuddled with the babies." "When nature shows you a good example," another said, while another added lightheartedly: "Happy father's day to him." "We need more men like this," another viewer said, in much agreement. "Baby you alright? If you need me to do anything just let me know ok? I will be with you through everything I promise," another added. "Male Scottish folds are genuinely the cutest and most caring cats on the planet and to top it off they're so cute," another said.

WWE star John Cena sends referee flying during Night of Champions match
John Cena retained the Undisputed WWE Championship in a chaotic main event ending against CM Punk at the Night of Champions premium live event on Saturday. While Cena came out mostly unscathed, there was one person who wasn't participating in the match that took one of the hardest bumps of the night. The person was longtime WWE referee Charles Robinson. Seth Rollins and his stablemates Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker interfered in the title match. Reed and Breakker took out Punk before Cena was thrown out of the ring. Rollins appeared to be ready to cash in his Money in the Bank contract to receive a title shot at any place and any time. He called for a new referee as the main referee of the match was knocked out of the ring. Robinson sprinted down to the ring, but as he got close to the apron, Cena came over to shoulder block him and prevent Rollins from getting a chance to officially insert himself into the fold. Cena and Punk eventually cleared the ring to resume their one-on-one matchup. However, Rollins eventually got into the ring and cost Punk a chance at the title. Cena pinned Punk and kept the belt around his waist. "I am alive," the 60-year-old Robinson wrote on X. Robinson has been a pro wrestling referee since 1997 when he was with World Championship Wrestling. He received comparisons to Ric Flair because of his blonde hair and was called "Little Naitch" as a slight to "The Nature Boy." Cena will now likely defend his title against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in August. Rhodes won the King of the Ring tournament earlier in the night.

Woman Sneaks Clingy Pet Into Every Space She Visits—People Can't Get Enough
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A "clingy" dachshund's attachment to her owner which sometimes forces her owner to sneak her into events with a bag has left viewers on TikTok in hysterics. A June 26 TikTok post, shared by the canine's owner under @ernonpan, shows the puppy peeking out of a handbag as she is carried from place to place. An overlaid text on the video read: "Just me sneaking my clingy dachshund puppy everywhere," while the caption added: "it's either this or a dachshund crying like she is abandoned forever." The clip has been liked more than 62,000 times to date, and viewers have been quick to flood the comments with reactions ranging from admiration to empathy, with many sharing their own experiences of having needy pets who refuse to be left behind. Dachshunds, often referred to as sausage dogs, are often described by owners and breeders as intensely loyal and prone to developing separation anxiety. The American Kennel Club (AKC) notes that the breed is clever, lively and courageous, but can also become clingy with their favorite human. Many dachshunds form a strong attachment to one person in their household, which can make them prone to distress when left alone. In this case, rather than leave the dog behind to howl in protest, @ernonpan simply carries her around—handbag and all. The result is a humorous, tender moment that has struck a chord with dog lovers. "Did exactly the same thing with an 8-week-old dachshund when I went to go on a tram (even though I was carrying him anyway) so I put him in my backpack and had his head out of the bag, ticket person came around and couldn't really say anything," one viewer said, while another added: "I take my dog with me in a backpack for dogs and he loves it. Just doctors/hospital are an exception." "Our children," a third viewer said. "They should be allow everywhere." As short-legged, long-bodied dogs originally bred for hunting, dachshunds are surprisingly energetic despite their small stature. They crave companionship and often become distressed if left alone for extended periods. This personality trait makes them well-suited to devoted owners willing to accommodate their constant need for closeness—even if it means sneaking them into everyday settings in a purse.
