Big Matches Announced for 5/16 WWE SmackDown – The road to WWE Money in the Bank 2025 officially begins tonight on SmackDown, with the first round of qualifying matches scheduled for the May 16 episode.
WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis confirmed the night’s lineup in a video posted to social media ahead of the broadcast, which airs live from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The evening’s action will feature two triple threat qualifiers for the 2025 Money in the Bank Ladder Matches—one for the men and one for the women. On the women’s side, Chelsea Green, Alexa Bliss, and Michin will face off in a triple threat bout to earn a coveted spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. All three are vying to climb their way back into title contention, making this a high-stakes clash.
For the men, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Rey Fenix will collide in a triple threat match with family drama guaranteed to be front and center. With The Bloodline’s ongoing power struggle and Fenix representing a unique wild card, this match promises intensity and unpredictability.
In the main event, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton puts her title on the line against former ally turned rival, Nia Jax. The two have been embroiled in a bitter feud, and tonight’s title match could serve as a defining moment in Stratton’s reign—or a dominant return to championship glory for Jax.
