Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Before the Men’s MITB match can kick off, that sneaky sneak Adam Pearce comes out an inexplicably adds Theory to the match… the look on Drew’s face somehow comforts me in this moment. Later when he’s viciously chopping Theory’s chest alongside Sheamus, it pays off.
Everyone attacks Omos, literally throwing ladder after ladder on top of him, burying the Nigerian Giant underneath a literal pile of ladders… the teamwork was short lived as Sheamus turns on everyone while Seth Rollins uses it as his opportunity to scurry up a tall ladder but is intercepted by Sami Zayn. On a dueling ladder next to them Theory and Sheamus, Sheamus shoves Zayn and Rollins away, but then goes at it with Theory. Fall away slam from Madcap as he is alone, setting up the ladder and trying his chances himself, no dice.
After Drew McIntyre is close, he’s knocked off and Sheamus hits the White Noise on Drew McIntyre, Sheamus sets up a tall ladder of his own, but in the corner. Riddle re-emerges to a big pop as they begin exchanging blows, dropping Riddle with an Irish Curse backbreaker. Riddle with the momentum as he power slams ala Orton and then climbs the tall ladder in the corner, does a backflip onto everyone below in a majorly fun spot.
Omos is back! Everyone else gangs up on him to do a really great spot where it takes six men to throw him through the announcer’s table!
There are so many near grabs, with seemingly everyone getting their mitts on the briefcase for a brief moment, with Riddle hitting an insane RKO on Rollins off the top of a ladder paving the way for your new Mr. Money in the Bank…

Ronda taps out Natalya to retain the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship.
After the match, Liv Morgan’s music hits and she’s runs out – cashes in the MITB briefcase on Ronda and becomes THE NEW WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion!!

Street Profits vs. The Usos
OBSESSED with the interface of Pat McAfee and Corey Graves with Michael Cole sort of stuck between. Give me one good reason it isn’t them having a match at SummerSlam, I feel like Graves has said he’s cleared for competition…
This match has now officially stolen the show, we’ll have to see what else is in store but this was exceptional. We say weird hyperbole alot to describe matches but that was really one of those “love letters to tag-team wrestling” that at least I will continue to talk about for years. The last from WWE was The Usos vs. New Day Hell in a Cell 2017.
Controversy! As after the match, there’s replays that show that Ford’s shoulder was actually up!

Bianca Belair vs. Carmella for WWE Raw Women's Championship
Big match feel fostered by an excellent video package that if you hadn’t watched WWE in awhile, would have you completely unaware that Carmella had been out of action for weeks before challenging Bianca!
After some more solid back and forth action, Bianca and Carmella are down in the ring with Carmella shouting down Bianca, telling her, “I am the best!” and telling her I believe, she is the tackiEST, which fires up Bianca who strikes back, snatches up Carmella and gets the pinfall victory for the win.
After the match, Carmella attacks Bianca as she’s celebrating on the turnbuckle, pulling her backwards to face plant into the mat. She jabber jaws up the ramp, making it clear this feud shall continue.
