Lineups for Money in the Bank 2023 ladder matches have gradually started to get filled up as seen on this week’s episode of Smackdown. Two new participants were declared via two separate matches.

LA Knight is the first to join the fray from the Smackdown side in the Men’s 2023 Money in the Bank ladder match. On the June 2 episode of Smackdown, Knight defeated Montez Ford of the Street Profits to qualify for the match.

Knight has joined Shinsuke Nakamura and Ricochet, who both qualified for the ladder match on the May 29 episode of Raw by respectively defeating Bronson Reed and former two-time MITB ladder match winner The Miz.

From the women’s side, Zelina Vega became the first woman to go into the 2023 Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match by defeating Lacey Evans on Smackdown. Evans came out donning WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter’s get-up but that didn’t earn her the win.

Thus, Zelina is back on the championship hunt after failing to win the SmackDown Women's Championship against Rhea Ripley at Backlash last month. At this stage, she’s one of the favourites to win the MITB ladder match.

WWE has also announced the following four Money in the Bank qualifying matches for next week’s SmackDown while two more qualifiers only from the women’s division will be hosted on Raw. The lineups are given below:
