WWE announced two Money In The Bank qualifying matches for tomorrow’s episode of “SmackDown.”
In a men’s qualifying match, Drew McIntyre is set to face Sheamus.
Once the best of friends, tough-as-nails adversaries Drew McIntyre and Sheamus are set to square off in what is sure to be an explosive Money in the Bank Qualifying Match on SmackDown.
In recent weeks, The SmackDown Warrior has reemerged on the blue brand to join forces with The New Day against The Celtic Warrior and his Brawling Brutes. In a pair of Six-Man Tag Team Matches, each trio has walked away with one victory apiece.
Now, McIntyre locks horns with Sheamus in a one-on-one, high-stakes contest, with the winner becoming the first entry in the 2022 Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. In that showdown on July 2, many of the best Superstars in WWE will battle to climb the ladder and seize the coveted Money in the Bank contract, which they can cash in for a World Championship Match at any time they choose.
On the women’s side, Lacey Evans is set to face Xia Li.
For weeks, Lacey Evans shared the hardships of her past that have made her the extraordinary Superstar she is today. Now, Evans will make her highly anticipated blue brand return to the ring in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match. It will be no easy task, however, as she will be standing across from Xia Li, a dangerous Superstar whose own tough past has made her a force to be reckoned with.
Who will punch their ticket to the July 2 Money in the Bank Ladder Match by becoming the first entry in the 2022 Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The electric showdown on July 2 will feature many of the best Superstars in WWE as they fight to ascend the ladder and seize the coveted Money in the Bank contract, which they can cash in for a World Championship Match whenever and wherever they choose.
Tomorrow’s match will be Evans’ first match in more than a year. Evans recently came back after going on maternity leave. She was originally set to make her in-ring return on Memorial Day on “Raw,” but WWE sent her instead to the Coca-Cola 600 race.
As noted, since Evans’ WWE return, she was moved a few times, first “SmackDown,” then to “Raw,” and now she’s back to “SmackDown” again.
WWE Money In The Bank 2022 is taking place on Saturday, July 2nd at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
