Naomi’s Cash-In Ranked Top 3 Ever By WWE Analyst
Naomi’s surprise Money in the Bank cash-in at WWE Evolution 2 stunned fans and shifted the women’s division in a major way.
As the main event between Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY reached its final moments, Naomi shocked the world by making her move, and it’s already being called one of the best cash-ins WWE has ever seen.
The match itself had fans on the edge of their seats. Ripley and SKY gave everything they had in a grueling back-and-forth battle. SKY’s high-flying offense met Ripley’s powerhouse strength in a contest that could’ve gone either way. Just as Ripley looked to close the match with an Avalanche Riptide, SKY countered it into a Spanish Fly, leaving both women laid out.
That’s when Naomi’s music hit. The crowd erupted as she sprinted to the ring, briefcase in hand. With both competitors down, the 37-year-old star seized her moment, taking out Ripley by sending her into the ring post before hitting her signature Split-Legged Moonsault on SKY to win the Women’s World Championship.
Sam Roberts Calls Naomi’s Cash-In One of the Best Ever
WWE analyst Sam Roberts was quick to weigh in on Naomi’s moment on his Notsam Wrestling podcast. He praised the execution, emotion, and impact of the cash-in, calling it one of the top three in WWE history.
“I would rank, and maybe it’s recency bias, I would rank this easily as a top three cash-in of all time. And it’s probably not three. I think it might be right there under Seth Rollins for WrestleMania 31. It’s tough for me to think of a cash-in other than Seth WrestleMania 31 that I enjoyed more than Naomi cashing in at Evolution tonight.”
Roberts emphasized Naomi’s ongoing excellence in WWE, saying this moment felt earned and well-timed. “Naomi is doing the best work in her career right now. And you want to see people get rewarded for that.” [0:29 -1:20]
