It’s a big weekend in the WWE universe, as Money in the Bank returns Saturday for its 16th iteration as a standalone PLE. Across the men’s and women’s rosters, 12 wrestlers will compete for the chance to bag themselves a future title shot at the time and place of their choosing — provided, of course, they can climb that ladder before their rivals. We all know the gimmick by now.

Assuming you aren’t a new convert to WWE after the big Netflix move, you’ll be familiar with the deal when it comes to Money in the Bank — the longstanding Premium Live Event (PLE) which returns for its 16th annual outing this Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Out of all the big gimmicks in the WWE arsenal, Money in the Bank is the most geared toward propelling rising stars into the main title scene.

The non-stop action may have had us on the edge of our seats at the time, but did it leave a lasting impact on our power rankings list? Here’s how things stand as we start to the countdown until Money In The Bank. 10.

Wrestling fans were well fed this past weekend, with three big events across the two major promotions and a TNA pay-per-view to boot. With Sunday's AEW Double or Nothing being cited as an instant classic and WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event delivering its best outing since its revival in late 2024, there was plenty to digest from more than two dozen matches. Here are my big takeaways:For all my rhapsodizing on Friday about how the stars were aligned for Ospreay, Tony Khan had other plans.

It’s a beautiful sight to see, isn’t it? A babyface reaching the apex of their ascendancy. And if Wednesday night’s superb promo exchange on "AEW Dynamite" is anything to go by, then Will Ospreay looks to be making the final stages of his journey to glory with aplomb. Will “The Aerial Assassin” win the Owen Hart Cup on Sunday?

Have I been too quick to write off the John Cena heel turn? Given how quickly things can move in professional wrestling, I wouldn't want to U-turn just yet. But there's no denying that, for at least 30 minutes Saturday night at WWE Backlash 2025, the whole "evil Cena" concept actually clicked in a way that it hasn’t done so far. Cena vs. Orton wasn't the perfect match, admittedly — we could have done without stacking up refs like cannon fodder — but it was a massive improvement on Cena vs.

Does it matter that WWE fans keep cheering the heels? TNA supremo Scott D’Amore made a persuasive case in his Uncrowned column this past week that we shouldn’t get hung up on it. But is the guy who brought us the brilliance of the X Division really correct on this one? I agree with Scott that fans cheering on nWO-style rebels is no bad thing.

Keeping a 1,486-year-old building in good nick is no mean feat. So hats off to the architects and researchers in Istanbul who will soon begin the mammoth task of renovating the Hagia Sophia with the aim of protecting the Turkish national treasure against earthquakes. Local authorities in the Turkish city have already run computerised simulations of a large earthquake in order to identify potential weak points within the building.

Using the right materials can be important too. In the Caribbean, which was struck by two large hurricanes in 2017, hotels have been built using hurricane-resistant materials (like reinforced and insulated concrete), which will reduce the chance of structural damage in the event of strong winds. Islands are also investing in back-up energy systems - like solar generators - to prevent power outages. Having foresight is clearly useful.
