This win is a big step forward for Ripley. She hasn't looked the same since losing her Women's World title before WrestleMania 41. But now, with a spot in the June 7 ladder match, she has a chance to climb back to the top. She joins Alexa Bliss and Roxanne Perez as the first three names confirmed for the 2025 Money in the Bank. This year's event will take place at the Intuit Dome and will stream worldwide on Netflix. With the briefcase in sight, Ripley is back in the race for gold.
Kairi Sane returns after injury
WELCOME BACK KAIRI SANE! Can she beat Rhea Ripley and Zoey Stark to qualify for the Women's #MITB Ladder Match TONIGHT? 🪜#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/FM3RItD7H0
This match was also special for Kairi Sane. She returned after being out for months with a hand injury. Fans were happy to see her back, and she looked sharp. She gave Ripley a tough fight and came close to winning it. Kairi Sane went for her InSane Elbow from the top rope, but Ripley blocked it with a big boot. That moment turned the match. Ripley quickly followed up with a Riptide and got the pin.
Now Ripley has her eyes on the briefcase. She wants her title back, and this win could be the start of something big.

Lights, Camera, Algorithm! Runway AI Joins the Production Crew
Not that innovations tend to enter the scene under the cloak of obscurity, now come loud, Netflix and Disney are venturing into the future of film production via their considerations toward Runway AI's generative video technology. This isn't a headline-catching pivot or marketing ploy-just a wise, strategic investment for a leaner and smarter ecosystem of content productions. Instead of losing their voice over discussing how "AI is changing the entertainment industry," they have quietly placed AI tools to multiply creative capabilities behind the curtains, rather than replace human creativity. Runway AI made headlines when it revealed that Netflix had utilized generative tools for visual effects in its Argentine sci-fi series The Eternaut. One of the scenes featured in the video was of a building collapse execution performed ten times faster and at a fraction of the traditional VFX costs using Runway's AI models. The increasingly secretive Disney experiments with Runway's capabilities. Disney has its eyes set on a fast, scalable avenue for pre-visualization, editing, and rendering of high-quality content without costs ballooning, given the huge franchise portfolio and large-scale production pressures. Unlike some of the tech-first disruptors, both studios are extremely careful about getting into any kind of controversy. Their deployment of AI is consciously thought out by humans and integrated into existing workflows. But what makes the Runway AI even more enchanting, beyond generating almost-realistic videos from text or image prompts, is its expansion of the creative toolkit. With Gen 4 and Act Two, directors and editors can rapidly scratch visual ideas, animate scenes without green screen, and replace cumbersome manual steps with iterations based on a few prompts. In effect, it's equipping the filmmakers with a virtual VFX assistant that can churn out high-fidelity results in a matter of hours, as compared to the several weeks it takes today. From a business operations standpoint, this is a dream scenario. Budgets become leaner, production timelines shrink, and visual standards go up. Studios can now prototype scenes faster, test narratives more effectively, and push creative boundaries without burning capital. Importantly, this approach is not eliminating jobs—it's reallocating creative energy to higher-value tasks while AI handles the repetitive and time-consuming ones. The long-term implications for the entertainment sector are immense. Indie filmmakers now have access to tools that were once the domain of major studios. VFX can be democratized, not gatekept. Global storytelling becomes easier as AI bridges budget constraints and language barriers. For streamers trying to meet escalating content demands, this is not a luxury—it's a some in the industry express concern over copyright and synthetic content, companies like Netflix and Disney are clearly prioritizing compliance and thoughtful use. Disney's earlier lawsuits against AI image generators suggest a legal-first mindset, and both studios are moving cautiously. There's no blanket adoption—just targeted, project-specific integrations designed to test impact before ahead, expect hybrid production crews that include prompt engineers alongside cinematographers. Expect faster ideation cycles, more personalized content, and a shift toward AI literacy as a core skill in the creative economy. This is not a disruption—it's a natural evolution, one that respects tradition while optimizing for the future. Netflix and Disney's early embrace of Runway AI is a blueprint for how legacy companies can move fast without breaking things. It's pragmatic innovation: quiet, careful, and rooted in value creation. For those building the next generation of content, the message is clear—this isn't the end of creative storytelling. It's just the beginning of a more intelligent version.
