Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of WWE Money in the Bank 2024 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Here is a look at the lineup for Saturday's show:
Let's take a look at what happened during Saturday's premium live event.
The Pre-Show
1 of 8
You can watch the two-hour pre-show in the embedded video. No matches were included, but we did get some cool musical performances at the end.
Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
2 of 8
- The pre-show ended with Samantha Irvin and Ryland James singing the American and Canadian national anthems back-to-back. It was a cool way to kick off the show days after Canada Day and July 4.
- Michael Cole was pumped up for Uso's entrance. Everybody else's entrance felt boring after the crowd went nuts for Jey. He probably should have come out last.
- The way Andrade's leg hit a ladder when he hit a springboard leg drop looked painful. He avoided falling onto the ladder, but his leg slammed into it after the initial impact.
- Andrade's reverse Spanish Fly on Hayes was amazing. Both men executed it perfectly.
- The sunset flip from Andrade to Hayes onto a ladder was awesome.
The first contest on the card was the men's MITB match. Uso made his way through the crowd as the first competitor to be introduced, while McIntyre was the last man to enter the ring.
Surprisingly, everyone waited for the bell to get going instead of fighting as soon as they had the chance. We also didn't see anyone roll right out of the ring, which almost always happens in these contests.
The Scottish Warrior was the first to use a ladder as a weapon and took out a few opponents before trying to climb up for the briefcase.
This was a standard MITB match. The stronger wrestlers provided a base for the high-flyers to hit risky spots, and everyone took their fair share of damage from the ladders. We didn't get anything groundbreaking, but this had enough well-performed spots to keep fans entertained from bell to bell.
One thing that stuck out was how nobody felt more dominant than anyone else. Everybody had their moment to shine and their fingers on the briefcase at one point. Andrade and Hayes had some of the most impressive moments, but everybody looked good.
When it looked like Uso was going to claim the briefcase and the win, McIntyre threw a ladder into him like a javelin to knock him down. The former WWE champion climbed up and claimed victory for himself to end a solid MITB match.
McIntyre may have won, but Andrade and Hayes were the standouts here. They created several highlight-reel moments together and separately.
Result: McIntyre won men's Money in the Bank ladder match
Grade: B+
Notable Moments and Observations
Sami Zayn vs. Bron Breakker (Intercontinental Championship)
3 of 8
- Breakker needs better entrance music. At least his singlets usually have cool designs.
- Zayn's first moonsault to the floor almost ended in disaster, but he managed to save himself.
- The second moonsault Zayn tried from the barricade later in the match was saved by Breakker, but it almost ended with Zayn landing on his head.
- Breakker's Frankensteiner is a wild display of agility and athleticism, especially when he pops up to the top rope like it's nothing.
The intercontinental title was on the line in the second match when Zayn faced Breakker, a man who has been a constant thorn in his side for weeks.
As expected, the Canadian fans gave Zayn a warm welcome, and he looked genuinely touched as he soaked it in.
Breakker showed off his power by easily hurling Zayn after their first lockup. He also showed off some speed with a quick go-behind and a second throw. He made it seem like he was toying with Zayn, so the champion slapped him to show he wasn't intimidated.
Having to follow a six-person ladder match would be difficult for anybody, but they did a good job making sure they weren't lost in the shuffle.
Zayn is one of the best underdog performers in the business, so he made Breakker look even more dangerous than usual by selling every move as if he was close to giving up.
The longer this went on, the more it proved that Breakker is no one-trick pony. He's a versatile performer who is going to have a long career if he stays healthy. Unfortunately for him, this was not his night.
The Underdog From the Underground hit a Helluva Kick and pinned his challenger to retain the IC title in a performance that made both men look like stars.
Result: Zayn defeated Breakker
Grade: B+
Notable Moments and Observations
John Cena Announces His Retirement
4 of 8
John Cena came out and in quick and unceremonious fashion announced he was retiring from WWE.
The 16-time world champion then spoke fondly about the Canadian fans who have been with him his whole career.
Cena said the 2025 Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41 will be his last.
Damian Priest vs. Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight Championship)
5 of 8
- Rollins was getting over 100 decibels from the crowd during his entrance according to a graphic on the screen.
- Before the match, Finn Balor had a suspicious look on his face after Priest left the Judgment Day's clubhouse.
- Rollins' hurricanrana counter to a chokeslam looked really good.
- Rollins tried to catch and slam Priest when he jumped off the middle rope, but it didn't go as planned.
Rollins had the entire arena singing along to his entrance music as he made his way out for the world title match against Priest.
As soon as the bell rang, they were trading strikes and trying to go for a quick win. The Archer of Infamy avoided a Pedigree and scored the first two-count with a suplex.
Both men kept their eyes on the stage expecting McIntyre to show up and cash in his newly won briefcase.
Even though both competitors performed well, there was something off about this match. It may have been a lack of buildup in the feud, or it may have been the predictability of how it all played out. Whatever it was, it kept this clash from reaching its full potential.
After Rollins hit a Falcon Arrow, the referee declared a two-count for what was clearly a pin. The crowd began booing loudly until McIntyre showed up and handed his briefcase to the official to cash in and join the match.
The bell rang and they all started fighting. Now that it was a Triple Threat, nobody was disqualified when CM Punk showed up and attacked McIntyre with a steel chair. He obliterated The Scottish Warrior and then grabbed the world title to knock him out with one last shot.
Punk sat on the announce table and watched as Priest hit South of Heaven for the win.
The shenanigans toward the end added some drama to the situation and helped make this bout a lot more exciting.
Priest retained, Rollins is protected by not taking the pin, and the feud between Punk and McIntyre may now include The Visionary after he expressed anger toward The Best in the World for getting involved.
Result: Priest defeated Rollins and McIntyre
Grade: B
Notable Moments and Observations
Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
6 of 8
- Naomi's entrance could be the biggest thing in WWE if it made some minor tweaks and gave her back her old song or something new.
- Stark wore some face paint that gave off Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando vibes.
- Sky and Valkyria had a nasty spot with a ladder in the corner but seemed to be fine and continued with a nice sequence.
- Stark hit the back of her head on a ladder during a senton but kept going without any issue.
- Valkyria's German suplex from the ladder was awesome because Sky sold it so well.
- Naomi's DDT to Stratton was one of the best moments of the match.
Naomi was out first for the women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
As soon as it started, everyone cleared out of the ring to grab a ladder except for Green. She stole Sky's ladder and was too afraid to climb it, so she tried to use it to knock the briefcase down instead.
This contest quickly turned into short sequences with two or three competitors at a time while everyone else was down at ringside until it was their turn.
This setup allowed us to see several different combinations of opponents work together, but it led to a weird pace for several minutes. We saw a lot of good individual spots with little cohesion or reason for most of what we saw.
The crowd took a while but eventually got into it and chanted "This is awesome" after a few entertaining moments in a row. After the halfway mark, it felt like everything started clicking together more, and this turned into an enjoyable melee that outshined the men's match.
After Green came so close to winning, Stratton pulled down the briefcase to claim the win and a future title shot.
Result: Stratton won the women's Money in the Bank ladder match
Grade: A-
Notable Moments and Observations
The Bloodline vs. Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens
7 of 8
- Michael Cole said WWE had to pull strings to get Fatu into Canada.
- Rhodes' ring jacket was a little more ridiculous than usual. The big gold eagles on the shoulders were a bit much.
- Fatu no-selling Orton's signature DDT was a fun moment.
- The way Loa's head hit the announce table after Rhodes' suicide dive looked and sounded terrible. Hopefully, he's OK.
Solo Sikoa, Tama Tanga and Jacob Fatu represented The Bloodline with Tonga Loa by their side in the main event against Rhodes, Orton and Owens.
KO was given the same warm welcome as the other Canadian stars on the show. Rhodes and Sikoa looked like they would begin for their teams, but Tanga tagged in instead.
You could tell this was going to get more intense as time went on, so it made sense for them to start with a slow and methodical pace. As soon as Fatu tagged in for the first time, you could feel a change in the atmosphere, especially after he no-sold a DDT from Orton.
For such a bitter feud, it was surprising how long it took for this to devolve into a huge fight. Sikoa accidentally knocked out the ref, which ended up saving him from being pinned after taking every finisher from the babyface team.
The ref was crushed against the steel steps, and Fatu was put through the announce table. We saw just about everyone hit at least one finisher as they built toward the finish. The official was hurled back into the ring just in time for Sikoa to pin Rhodes with a Samoan Spike.
There was a lot to like in this match, but it also felt like a repeat of all of the same Bloodline tropes we have been seeing for the past few years. At least Sikoa pinning Rhodes will likely lead to a title match for the new Tribal Chief at SummerSlam on August 3.
Result: The Bloodline defeated Rhodes, Orton and Owens
Grade: B

The Final Word
8 of 8
This year's Money in the Bank PLE was mostly predictable but had a few surprises that helped make it stand out.
Cena's retirement announcement will be a talking point for weeks, Zayn retaining the IC title against a dominant Breakker in Canada was a feel-good moment, and both MITB winners felt like appropriate decisions.
However, having McIntyre cash in and fail on the same night thanks to Punk will be a controversial decision among fans even if it accomplished its goal of generating heat for their feud. The botch with Priest failing to kick out of a pin was quickly glossed over.
The women's MITB bout had some of the biggest highlights of the whole show and made all six competitors look like they deserved to be there.
Even if the main event felt like the kind of match we might see on a random Raw or SmackDown, all six men worked well together to make it a mostly enjoyable performance.
As a whole, this was a good pay-per-view that could have been better with a few small changes.
Grade: B+
