Both Priest and Morgan went on to use their contracts in the months following the event. Damian Priest cashed in his briefcase in September 2024 to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. Liv Morgan cashed in her briefcase in October 2024 to challenge for the Women's World Championship.

How the Money in the Bank match works

Money in the Bank is a ladder match format where multiple wrestlers compete to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The match typically involves six to eight competitors, and the first person to climb the ladder and grab the briefcase wins. The match is designed to be chaotic and unpredictable, with wrestlers using the ladder as both a weapon and a tool to reach the briefcase.

WWE holds separate Money in the Bank matches for men and women, so there are two winners each year. The event has been held annually since 2010, and it is considered one of WWE's major pay-per-view events alongside WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series.

What the contract guarantees

The Money in the Bank contract is a legally binding agreement within WWE's storyline that guarantees the holder a championship match. The holder can invoke the contract whenever they choose, which means they can challenge for the title on their own terms rather than waiting for a scheduled opportunity. This gives the winner a significant strategic advantage because they can choose the timing and circumstances of their challenge.

The contract is valid for one year from the date of the Money in the Bank event. If the winner does not cash in the contract within that year, it expires and becomes worthless. Some winners have held onto their contracts for months before using them, while others have cashed in within weeks.
