Take a look at the most memorable moments of Money in the Bank. There is a time and a place for it.
Money in the Bank will change the careers of two wrestlers on Saturday night.
There are two MITB matches at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, one for the women's division and the other for the men. The winner of each event will be given a world title shot at any time they want.
Bianca Belair is defending the Raw title against a late replacement in Carmella, who stepped in after Rhea Ripley wasn't medically cleared, and Natalya is trying to win the SmackDown belt.
On the men's side, both brand belts will be on the line as The Usos face The Street Profits and Theory defends his title against Bobby Lashley.
As it happens, follow along as Mike recaps everything.
Liv Morgan has money in the bank.
In a fantastic, frenetic Women's Money in the Bank match, it was Morgan who climbed the ladder and captured the briefcase for a guaranteed shot at one of two women'schampionships.
The action got going when Morgan andBecky Lynch tried to double-suplex Raquel Rodriguez. The two women were on the ladder at the same time.
Shotzi tried to run up a ladder that was supposed to be used to attack Rodriguez, but she fell through. Lynch connected with a Springboard Splash onto a group of women on the ladder bridge. After taking out the group with a 450 splash, she climbed up the ladder. Rodriguez was thrown into the bridge by Bliss after she stopped her climb.
Shotzi took a hip toss from Asuka onto the same ladder before she started another climb. They landed on their feet afterBecky tried to tip them over. Evans was able to grab the briefcase but she was stopped by Rodriguez.
Morgan did a sunset flip powerbomb on Evans in one of the high spots of the match. Rodriguez was alone on the ladder when Shotzi stopped her and threw her into a tree.
Shotzi put Bliss on her shoulders and connected with an Electric Chair Slam, but she crashed into the ladder first. Shotzi tried a senton off the top rope onto Lynch, but Lynch moved out of the way and Shotzi hit the ladder first.
Asuka kicked Lynch to the head after returning to the ring. Rodriguez threw her out of the ring. Rodriguez tried to send Asuka through the ladder, but it was too late. Rodriguez was placed into a triangle by Asuka.
Lynch joined the action and set up Asuka flat on the ladder before she connected with a modified senton and the Las Vegas crowd went crazy.
Lynch tipped Shotzi and Rodriguez off of one of the ladders, then tipped Evans and Bliss off of the other, before climbing herself. Morgan set up a ladder next to Lynch's so that she wouldn't go up. Morgan stopped Lynch from falling when she pushed off the top rope. After grabbing the briefcase, Morgan cried tears of joy as the Las Vegas crowd erupted in cheers.

Morgan is on the Raw brand so she could be in line for an eventual shot at Bianca Belair. Lynch could find herself in a singles program with Asuka moving forward.
The reign of the youngest US champion is over. Bobby Lashley had to submit from the Hurt Lock to win the U.S. championship.
Theory tried the A-Town Down, but Lashley reversed the finish. Theory hit Lashley with the spear after he escaped a Powerslam. Lashley sunk in the Hurt Lock to win the game.
Theory went to work with a series of elbows, followed by an extended chin lock after Lashley was taken off the top turnbuckle. Theory dug the lock in deeper for another 90 seconds after Lashley almost powered out of the chin lock.
Lashley connected on a clothesline and a belly-to-belly suplex. Theory tried a somersault into a clothesline, but was caught. Theory kicked out of a roll up and used a drop toe hold to hit Lashley. He kicked a shotgun into the air.
Theory's first championship run ended when Lashley hit his power slam.

It was a bit of a surprise that Lashley won since Theory has had a lot of success. Theory looked strong despite the loss. Theory was facing the most formidable opponent of his career and a victory would have signaled that he was destined for stardom. It's possible that WWE wanted the belt off Theory so he could move onto even bigger things, but a second match with Lashley could be on the horizon.
Bianca Belair successfully defended her Raw Women's title by defeating Carmella with theKOD. The champion was hurt after Carmella attacked her and then followed with a series of punches. Liv Morgan's music didn't get heard.
Belair should find a new opponent for SummerSlam if Liv Morgan uses the briefcase to set up the match.
The men's Money in the Bank ladder match was held.
The women's championship of the World Wrestling Entertainment was won by Natalya.
