LET'S GET YOU SET WITH OUR
PANEL.
>> I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE.
MONEY IN THE BANK, ONE OF THE
MOST EXCITING NIGHTS HERE.
A SHIFT IN THE LANDSCAPE AS WE
KNOW IT.
I'M EXCITED TO INTRODUCE THE
OTHER TWO PANELISTS.
I KNOW THIS MAN VERY WELL.
HE IS, I WILL SAY IT TIME AND
TIME AGAIN, THE LAST
PROFESSIONAL BROADCASTER, SAM
ROBERTS.
SAM: I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HERE TO
WITNESS HISTORY.
YOU SAID THERE COULD BE CHANGES
IN THE LANDSCAPE.
THERE WILL BE.
SUPERSTARS WILL EARN THE MONEY
IN THE BANK CONTRACT TONIGHT,
AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
>> THE MAN TO MY LEFT, HE IS A
HARVARD LAW GRADUATE, THE BEST
DRESSED MAN IN W W E, FORMER
TWO-TIME TAG TEAM CHAMPION.
HE'S GOT A LOT OF MUSCLES.
I'M GOING TO WIND DOWN.
DAVID: TAKE NOTES.
THAT IS HOW YOU INTRODUCE
SOMEBODY.
SHE IS WEARING MONEY GREEN.
>> IS THAT MONEY GREEN?
DAVID: LIME.
>> MONEY IN THE TONIGHT AT 7:00
EASTERN, 4:00 PACIFIC ON THE WWE
NETWORK.
REMEMBER THAT WWE IS FREE FOR
NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
LET'S START WITH WHAT YOU WILL
SEE TONIGHT LIVE.
THIS MATCHUP.
DAVID: AT WRESTLEMANIA 35, KOFI
KINGSTON FILLED HIS DREAM OF
BECOMING A WWE CHAMPION.
>> UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE
LINE, BOTH MEN HAVE WORKED THEIR
ENTIRE LIVES TO HAVE A MAGICAL
MATCHUP LIKE THIS.
SETH ROLLINS, AJ STYLES.
>> IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG
NIGHT FOR BECKY TWO BELTS.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE ON THE
LINE AGAINST THE SASSY SOUTHERN
BELL LACEY EVANS.
CHARLY: THE MAN WITH A SMACK
TOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
AGAINST CHARLOTTE FLAIR.
>> THE BIG DOG SHOWED UP.
TONIGHT, ROMAN LOOKS TO TUNE UP
ELI US.
>> THIS IS WHERE THE WOMEN'S
DIVISION CHANGES FOREVER.
EIGHT WOMEN COMPETE.
ONE OF THEM WILL GET AN
OPPORTUNITY AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS GET THAT
CONTRACT.
>> THAT'S ALL THEY NEED TO DO?
NO BIG DEAL.
HOW ABOUT TWO GUYS WHO HAVE
DIFFERENT STYLES INSIDE THE
RING.
REY MYSTERIO, WE KNOW HE IS
DYNAMIC.
HOW WILL HE GET THE JOB DONE?
I AM ANXIOUS TO FIND OUT.
CHARLY: THE CRUISERWEIGHT
CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE.
TONY NESE DEFENDING THE TITLE.
>> THESE TWO, THEY WERE BEST
FRIENDS UNTIL THEY WEREN'T.
THIS ONE IS DEEPLY PERSONAL.
SHANE-O MAC AND THE MIZ INSIDE
O A STILL -- INSIDE OF A STEEL
CAGE.
SAM: THE ACTION WILL BEGIN ON
THE KICKOFF SHOW AS DANIEL BRYAN
AND ROWAN FACE OFF AGAINST THE
USOS.
>> THEN WE HAVE THE MEN'S MONEY
IN THE CAGE MATCH.
HERE IS THE FIELD.
WHICH ONE OF THESE MEN WILL
CLIMB TO THE TOP AND RETRIEVE
THE CONTRACT?
CHARLY: AS YOU CAN TELL, THE
CARD IS STACKED FROM TOP TO
BOTTOM.
ONLY ONE PLACE TO CATCH ALL OF
THE MONEY IN THE BANK ACTION,
THAT IS GOING TO BE ON WWE
NETWORK.
START YOUR FREE TRIAL BECAUSE IT
IS FREE FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS TONIGHT IS
GOING TO BE THAT MEN'S MONEY IN
THE BANK LADDER MATCH.
FOUR MEN FROM RAW, FOUR MEN FROM
SMACKDOWN LIVE.
A GUARANTEED TITLE OPPORTUNITY
THAT THEY CAN CASH IN ANYTIME,
ANYPLACE.
THERE IS ONE MAN IN THE MATCH
TONIGHT WHO HAS BEEN REPLACED.
>> BRAUN STROWMAN WAS ORIGINALLY
SCHEDULED TO BE IN THIS MATCH.
LET'S TAKE YOU BACK TO RAW A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
ON THIS NIGHT, IT WAS ALL ABOUT
BRAUN STROWMAN ATTACKING.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I
WOULD NOT WANT TO BE THROWN IN
THE BACK OF A GARBAGE TRUCK.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
THAT IS WHEN BRAUN STROWMAN IS
IN HIS COMFORT ZONE.
NOW WE FAST-FORWARD TO THIS PAST
WEEK ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW.
HERE WAS THE STIPULATION.
IF ZAYN COULD BEAT DREW -- BEAT
BRAUN STROWMAN, HE WOULD TAKE
HIS SHOT.
DREW MCINTYRE, WELCOME TO THE
PARTY.
THERE AND CORBIN, WELCOME TO THE
PARTY.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, DON'T LET
THE FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF GOOD
STORIES.
SAMI ZAYN IS IN, BRAUN STROWMAN
IS OUT.
AS WE SEE SAMI ZAYN, YOU WONDER
WHAT KIND OF SHAPE HE'S GOING TO
BE IN.
NOW THAT THE LANDSCAPE AND THE
CLEAR FAVORITE, LAST YEAR'S
WINNER IS OUT, HOW DO YOU SEE
THIS STARTING TO PLAY OUT?
DAVID: THERE IS CLEARLY AN
ALLIANCE BETWEEN CORBIN,
MCINTYRE, AND ZAYN.
SAM: ZAYN IS A PATSY HERE.
THEY WANTED BRAUN STROWMAN OUT
OF THE MATCH.
THEY THROUGH SAMI ZAYN BACK TO
THE LIONS RIGHT AFTER THE MATCH
TOOK PLACE.
THE ONLY REASON THAT HAPPENED
WAS SO THEY COULD GET BRAUN
STROWMAN OUT OF THE MATCH.
CHARLY: WHO IS THE BIGGEST
PERCEIVED THREAT IN THIS MATCH
NOW?
SAM: EITHER ONE OF THOSE TWO.
DAVID: I'VE GOT TO GO WITH RANDY
ORTON.
THERE'S NOBODY WHO TAKES MORE OF
AN OPPORTUNITY THAN RANDY ORTON
TO STRIKE OUT OF NOWHERE.
THIS IS WHAT THIS MATCH IS ABOUT
.
>> IT IS OPPORTUNITY, SEIZING
IT, ALSO UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU
ARE WILLING TO PUT YOUR BODY
THROUGH TO CLIMB THAT LADDER AND
RETRIEVE THE MONEY IN THE BANK
CONTRACT.
IT HANGS THERE ALL NIGHT FOR
SUPERSTARS TO JUST THINK ABOUT.
>> PLEASE WELCOME THE WOMAN
FACING OVERWHELMING ODDS AS SHE
DEFENDS TONIGHT BOTH THE RAW AND
SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S TITLES IN
SEPARATE MATCHES.
YES, THE MAN, BECKY TWO BELTS,
BECKY LYNCH.
LAST TIME WE SAW YOU, YOU HAD
BEEN PUT THROUGH A TABLE AND
CHARLOTTE FLAIR -- A TABLE,
LACEY EVANS AND CHARLOTTE FLAIR
STANDING OVER YOU WITH TWO
BELTS.
COULD WE BE SEEING THE END OF
BECKY TWO BELTS TONIGHT?
BECKY: WHAT WE SAW ON MONDAY
NIGHT WAS A PAIR OF JACKALS WHO
NEEDED EACH OTHER TO TAKE ME
DOWN.
THOSE TWO CLOWNS KNOW
INDIVIDUALLY THEY DON'T HAVE
WHAT IT TAKES TO BEAT ME.
TONIGHT, I EVEN THE ODDS.
LACEY EVANS IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT
WHAT CHARLOTTE FLAIR ALREADY
KNOWS, THAT IT IS A WHOLE
DIFFERENT BALLGAME WHEN YOU STEP
IN THEIR ONE-ON-ONE VERSUS THE
MAN.
THAT CHAMPIONSHIP PRESSURE, THAT
NEED TO PROVE YOURSELF AS A
BETTER WOMAN, THAT CRIPPLES SOME
AND PROVES OTHERS.
YOU DON'T NEED TO REMIND ME OF
THE MOUNTAIN I'M FACING BECAUSE
I'M THE ONE WHO WALKS AROUND
WITH THE WEIGHT OF HISTORY ON MY
SHOULDERS.
I CONDUCT AND DODGE BUT THE
RIGHT -- I CAN DUCK AND DODGE
BUT THE RIGHT ROAD ISN'T THE
EASY ROAD WHEN YOU ARE BLAZING
TRAILS.
I CAME HERE TO MAKE THE
MEANINGFUL LIKE BECKY LYNCH.
YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL THE STRENGTH
OF A TITLE BASED ON THE LINE OF
PEOPLE QUEUING UP TO TRY TO TAKE
IT AWAY FROM THEM.
I KNOW I HAVE TWO ROSTERS FULL
OF WOMEN WHO WANT WHAT I HAVE.
TONIGHT, THE DOUBLE CHAMP IS
GOING IN THERE TO DISH OUT
DOUBLE BEATINGS BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MAN COMES
AROUND.
CHARLY: GOSH, YOU REALLY HAVE TO
LOVE THE FIGHT IN BECKY LYNCH.
IS SHE IN OVERHEAD TONIGHT?
-- IN OVER HER HEAD TONIGHT?
SAM: HER CONFIDENCE HAS DEVOLVED
INTO SEVERE DELUSIONS OF
GRANDEUR.
THERE IS NO WAY BECKY LYNCH WILL
LEAVE THIS BUILDING TONIGHT WITH
TWO TITLES.
>> THE YOUNG LADY HAS COME IN
AND MADE A STATEMENT, MADE A
NAME FOR HERSELF EARLY ON.
>> HER OPPONENT LACEY EVANS
ALWAYS FULL OF CONFIDENCE.
IF YOU ASK LACEY, SOMETHING SHE
ALWAYS HAS A LOT OF IS CLASS.
>> BECKY TWO BELTS, MORE LIKE
BECKY BIG MOUTH IF YOU ASK ME.
HONESTLY, YOU TALK SO MUCH
TRASH.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
TRASH, DON'T YOU?
THE LONGER IT SITS, THE MORE IT
ROTS.
EVENTUALLY YOU BAGUETTE UP AND
TAKE IT TO THE CURB, WHICH IS
EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO
END UP TONIGHT.
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY, KEEP
TALKING, BECAUSE THE MORE YOU
RUN YOUR MOUTH, THE SWEETER IT'S
GOING TO BE WHEN I TAKE THAT
TITLE OFF OF YOU.
AFTER I CLEANED THE RING OF YOUR
NASTY PRESENCE, IT WILL BE
CHARLOTTE FLAIR'S TURN TO
COMPLETE THE SWEEP AND ENSURE
YOU REALIZE TH MAN WAS NO MATCH
FOR A QUEEN.
OR A LADY.
>> I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST.
I LOVE THAT.
I LOVE THE ARROGANCE, THE
COCKINESS, THE CONFIDENCE.
CHARLY: SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS.
SAM: SHE CAN THROW HANDS, AS IT
IS PROVEN.
SHE KNOWS SHE CAN BACK IT UP.
>> ANOTHER BIG MATCHUP TONIGHT,
KOFI KINGSTON AND KEVIN OWENS.
IT TOOK 11 LONG YEARS FOR HIM TO
REACH THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.
HE IS HEALTHY, FRESH, AND READY
TO TAKE IT.
>> OVER 80,000 WWE FANS BEHIND
KOFI KINGSTON AS HE GETS HIS
FIRST EVER ONE-ON-ONE W TITLE
MATCH.
>> KOFI KINGSTON.
AND THE KNEE!
>> KOFI RETURNS THE FAVOR.
>> BRIAN IS BARELY MOVING.
KOFI IS CHAMPION.
11 LONG YEARS.
HIS PROPER W W E CHAMPIONSHIP.
>> THE BIRTH OF MY KIDS AND
MARRIED MY WIFE, THE WWE
CHAMPIONSHIP WAS THE GREATEST
MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
>> PLEASE HELP ME WELCOME YOUR W
WWE CHAMPION, KOFI KINGSTON!
>> I DON'T MEAN TO BE A DOWNER,
BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT
SOMEONE IS MISSING TONIGHT.
HERE'S THE THING, YOU GUYS ARE
USED TO BEING A TRIO.
WITH BIG E NOT HERE, I THINK IT
IS TIME THAT YOU GUYS ENLIST THE
HELP OF BIG O RIGHT HERE.
>> YOU ARE SAYING YOU WANT TO
SEE THE FIRST MEMBER OF THE NEW
DAY.
>> MONTREAL!
FEEL THE POWER.
>> I WAS WAITING OVER HERE TO
JUMP IN.
>> HE ALWAYS WORKS VERY WELL
ALONGSIDE THEM.
>> TONIGHT IS A BIG NIGHT.
>> WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
>> I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD TIME.
>> I WILL RELIEVE YOU OF THE
BURDEN YOU HAVE BEEN CARRYING
AROUND SINCE WRESTLEMANIA.
IT IS TIME TO ANSWER A QUESTION
I'VE HAD ON MY MIND FOR QUITE A
WHILE.
THAT IS, CAN KOFI KINGSTON STAND
ON HIS OWN?
HE IS IN THE CHAMPION'S HEAD.
>> MONEY IN THE BANK.
THERE'S GOING TO BE HELL TO PAY
FOR KEVIN OWENS.
>> I KNOW THE ANSWER FOR THE
ENTIRE WWE UNIVERSE.
>> EXCUSE ME, KEVIN.
TONIGHT IS A BIG NIGHT FOR YOU
AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WWE
TITLE AWAITS.
YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN THE
HEAD OF KOFI KINGSTON, BUT CAN
YOU GET YOUR NAME IN THE RECORD
BOOKS AND BECOME THE NEW
CHAMPION?
KEVIN: CAN I?
THE WAY I HAVE DESTROYED THE NEW
DAY THESE PAST FEW WEEKS SHOULD
BE YOUR ANSWER.
IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF I CAN,
IT IS A MATTER OF HOW I AM GOING
TO BECOME WWE WE CHAMPION
TONIGHT.
THERE'S A COUPLE WAYS I CAN GO
ABOUT THIS.
I CAN SLAP THE POSITIVITY RIGHT
OFF OF HIS FACE.
I CAN BREAK KOFI'S HAND SO I
DON'T HAVE TO HEAR HIS CLAPPING
OR SEE HIM THROW STUPID PANCAKES
AROUND ANYMORE.
TONIGHT, I AM KOFI KINGSTON'S
DREAM AND GIVE HIM A MUCH NEEDED
CHECK.
KOFI KINGSTON IS A FANTASTIC
ROLE MODEL.
AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMER AND ALL
AROUND VERY NICE GUY.
I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HIM
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT HE IS
THE W WWE CHAMPION.
NOW I WANT THAT TITLE.
I GUARANTEE IT WILL BE A NEW
DAY!
BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE FIRST DAY
IN THE ERA OF KEVIN OWENS AS WWE
CHAMPION.
CHARLY: THAT SURE IS NOT RENEE,
BUT I WAS ONCE CONFUSED FOR
RENEE BY KEVIN OWENS SO I
UNDERSTAND WHERE HE COMES FROM.
KOFI KEEPS GETTING CALLED AND
UNDESERVING CHAMP, BUT HASN'T HE
ADEQUATELY PROVED HIMSELF?
DAVID: YES, BUT HE HAS PROVEN
HIMSELF FOR YEARS.
SAY WHAT YOU WANT, HE HAS
SKILLS.
I HAVE BEEN IN THE RING WITH
KOFI.
HE HAS GOT NASTY ATHLETICISM BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE'S GOT AN
INCREDIBLE WILL TO WIN.
HE HAS PROVEN THAT.
JONATHAN: WHEN I WATCHED THAT,
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW?
I SAW THAT THEY WANTED TO
BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE WAS ON
THEIR SIDE, EVERYONE WANTED TO
BE PART OF THE NEW DAY, EXCEPT
KEVIN OWENS.
I THINK KEVIN OWENS IS SO FAR
INSIDE EVERYBODY'S HEAD THAT I
BELIEVE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
SAM: KOFI KINGSTON, THE WHOLE
FAIRYTALE THING HAS TO GO AWAY
NOW.
THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS
TRANSCENDED THE ROLE THAT KOFI
KINGSTON IS ON HIS KOFI
KINGSTON.
HE HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE
WILDCARD RULE LIKE NOBODY HAS.
AMAZING TITLE DEFENSES.
AT THE SAME TIME, HE HAS MADE
ONE BONEHEADED MOVE, AND THAT
WAS ALLOWING KEVIN OWENS TO
PRETEND TO BE A NEW DAY MEMBER.
I WAS SITTING THERE WAITING FOR
KEVIN OWENS TO DO WHAT KEVIN
OWENS DOES, STABBING HIS PARTNER
IN THE BACK.
THAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT
KEVIN OWENS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
GET THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE.
DAVID: I THINK HE'S BEEN SITTING
AT HOME, REHABBING, REALLY
LICKING HIS CHOPS.
SAM: HE'S NOT GOING TO GET IN
ANY FURTHER, BUT HE'S IN THERE.
CHARLY: HE'S DEFINITELY AWARE OF
WHAT COULD BE IN STORE FOR HIM.
JONATHAN: LET'S GO BACK TO
SMACKDOWN.
MYSTERY MAN HAD A BIG TIME
ANNOUNCEMENT AND PROMISED A LOT.
>> THE GREATEST ACQUISITION IN
SMACKDOWN HISTORY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ELIAS!
♪
JONATHAN: I THINK MANY OF US
THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE
ROMAN REIGNS THAT MADE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT.
IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE ROMAN
REIGNS CAME OUT TO LET MYSTERY
MAN KNOW WHAT HE THOUGHT.
SAM: APPARENTLY HE DOESN'T LIKE
TO BE UNDERVALUED.
JONATHAN: SMACKDOWN LIVE IS ONE
WEEK LATER.
SHANE-O MAC APPARENTLY HAD AN
ISSUE WITH ROMAN REIGNS PUTTING
HANDS ON HIS FATHER.
HE IS LIKE, IT'S GO TIME, EXCEPT
IT WASN'T A FAIR FIGHT.
GOING AFTER ROMAN REIGNS, TO ME,
IS NOT THE SMARTEST PLAY.
JONATHAN: WE'VE GOT TWO
DIFFERENT STORIES WE'VE GOT TO
GET INTO.
YOU GOT TO BELIEVE THAT ROMAN
REIGNS HAS GOT TO REFOCUS IN
ACTION IN MY OPINION.
SAM: HERE'S THE REAL DANGER OF
ELIAS.
THE MCMAHON FAMILY HAS CLEARLY
MADE AN INVESTMENT IN HIM.
VINCE MCMAHON INTRODUCED HIM THE
WAY HE INTRODUCED HIM BECAUSE
THEY WANT THE PERCEPTION TO BE
THAT HE'S THE MOST VALUABLE
COMMODITY ON SMACKDOWN.
WHEN VINCE MCMAHON PUTS THAT
KIND OF INVESTMENT INTO A
SUPERSTAR, YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW
HE'S INVESTED IN THAT SUPERSTAR.
DAVID: THAT IS WHY ELIAS WALKS
AROUND HERE LIKE HE'S THE MAN.
LET'S NOT FORGET WHO'S YARD THIS
IS.
THIS IS THE BIG DOG'S YARD.
HE OVERCAME TREMENDOUS
ADVERSITY, CAME BACK TO PROVE
THIS IS STILL HIS YARD.
CHARLY: WILL IT STILL BE HIS
YARD IF HE DOESN'T WIN THIS
MATCH TONIGHT?
SAM: IF HE DOES NOT BEAT ELIAS
TONIGHT, IN SMACKDOWN IS
CERTAINLY NOT ROMAN REIGNS'S
YARD.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARGUMENT YOU
COULD POSSIBLY MAKE THAT
SMACKDOWN WOULD BE ROMAN REIGN''
YARD IF HE LOSES TONIGHT.
JONATHAN: THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY
ON THIS PANEL WHO HAS BEEN VINCE
MCMAHON'S RIGHT HAND GUY.
HE'S RIGHT HERE.
IT'S TRUE.
MY POINT IS, IF IT DOESN'T WORK
FOR MR. MCMAHON, HE'S GOT
SOMETHING ELSE UP HIS SLEEVE.
SHANE-O MAC MADE IT VERY
PERSONAL WITH HIS FORMER TAG
TEAM PARTNER, THE MIZ.
HE WAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
UNTIL SHANE-O MAC WENT AFTER
POPPA BEAR.
TONIGHT, THEY WILL BE LOCKED
INSIDE THAT DEMONIC STEEL CAGE.
>> LET'S REFLECT A LITTLE BIT ON
WRESTLEMANIA.
MR. MS. -- . MIZ HAD THE
AUDACITY TO COME IN THIS RING.
HE AGGRESSIVELY PUT HIS HANDS
UP.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THAT
68-YEAR-OLD BAKED POTATO FACE
AND HIS SON GOT EXACTLY WHAT
THEY HAD COMING TO THEM.
>> SHANE-O MAC!
>> FROM BEHIND THE MIZ.
>> I LIKE THIS SIDE OF MIZ.
>> SHANE MCMAHON HAS AWOKEN
SOMETHING INSIDE MIZ THAT MAYBE
WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
>> HE CONTINUES TO DRAG MY DAD
INTO THIS.
>> SHANE JUST CALLED FOR A
PICTURE WITH MIZ'S FATHER.
>> EVERY WORD, EVERY ACTION.
>> THE MONEY IN THE BANK
PAY-PER-VIEW, IN THE RING, BY
CHALLENGING SHANE MCMAHON 28
STEEL CAGE MATCH.
>> THE BEST IN THE WORLD
HIGHTAILING IT OUT OF HERE.
BLIND WITH RAGE.
>> SHANE MCMAHON.
>> HE HAS BEEN HANDED EVERYTHING
WITH A SILVER'S IN HIS MOUTH.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A
SILVER SPOON MEETS A STEEL CAGE.
>> REMEMBER THIS.
I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
>> THERE WILL BE NOWHERE TO RUN.
THERE WILL BE NOWHERE TO HIDE.
LOCKED INSIDE A STEEL CAGE.
CHARLY: THIS IS A WRESTLEMANIA
REMATCH.
THE DIFFERENCE MAKER TONIGHT
TAKES PLACE INSIDE A STEEL CAGE.
>> I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT
SHANE MCMAHON.
HOW HYPOCRITICAL IS HE?
HIS WHOLE BEEF WITH ROMAN REIGNS
IS FOR PUNCHING HIS FATHER.
HE PUNCHED MIZ'S DAD.
THAT IS WHY IT HAS BECOME SO
PERSONAL.
SAM: HE PUNCHED MIZ'S DAD
BECAUSE HE GOT INVOLVED IN A
MATCH.
SHANE MCMAHON, HE WAS LOOKING AT
MIZ'S FATHER IN THE FACE DURING
A MATCH WITH THE MIZ.
THE MIZ, HIS TO BECOME FAMILIAL
AND YET REPUTABLE IS SO AGAINST
HIS NATURE THAT IT HAS
DISTRACTED HIM.
DAVID: I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE
MIZ IS LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA.
WHEREVER HE WAS LOOKING.
IT IS A NEW LAYER TO THE MIZ
THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE,
A LAYER THAT HE WANTS TO GET
BACK BECAUSE OF HIS FAMILY.
DON'T YOU LOVE THAT?
>> FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE MIZ
ISN'T BRAGGING ABOUT HIMSELF.
CHARLY: HE WANTS HIM
FACE-TO-FACE INSIDE OF A STEEL
CAGE WHERE NO ONE CAN RUN.
JONATHAN: THAT STEEL CAGE BRINGS
UP A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANIMAL
AND ELEMENT.
SHANE, HE LOVES WHEN THE ODDS
ARE UP HERE.
THE DANGER IS THAT AN ALL-TIME
HIGH.
DAVID: NOW HE IS LOCKED IN THERE
WITH MIZ AND THERE IS NOWHERE
FOR SHANE TO RUN.
CHARLY: WE HAVE ANOTHER RIVALRY
WE ARE GOING TO WITNESS TONIGHT,
AND IT IS ONE THAT IS CROSS
BRAND COURTESY OF THAT WILDCARD
RULE.
TAKING ON ONE OF MONDAY NIGHT
RAW'S BEST TEAMS, THE USOS,
STILL TO COME.
>> SUMMER.
RELAXATION, ADVENTURE, AND ONCE
IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCES.
WHAT IS MISSING?
YOU.
POWER UP YOUR SUMMER WITH FIVE
HOUR ENERGY.
FIVE ARE ENERGY PRODUCTS
INCLUDING CHERRY EXTRA STRENGTH
AND SEND IT IN.
IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT YOU ARE
HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
POWER UP YOUR SUMMER WITH FIVE
HOUR ENERGY.
>> WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, I WAS
ALWAYS GETTING ATTACKED, ALWAYS
PICKED ON, ALWAYS LAST ONE
CHOSEN.
LAST WEEK, -- I'M GOING TO GIVE
ALEXA A CHANCE BECAUSE SHE'S
BEEN NOTHING BUT LOVELY TO ME.
IT UPSETS ME THAT SHE CAN'T
COMPETE TONIGHT.
I HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF
MY OPPORTUNITY.
LAST YEAR, ALEXA WON THE MONEY
IN THE BANK CONTRACT.
I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HER.
CHARLY: ALEXA IS OUT, NIKKI
CROSS IS IN.
TO BREAK DOWN THE LADDER MATCH,
WE HAVE WWE HALL OF FAMER AND
THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE
COMMENTARY TEAM.
>> I WAS LISTENING TO THE HEATED
DISCUSSION BACK THERE.
I COULDN'T WAIT TO HOP IN AND
JOIN YOU GUYS.
CHARLY: ALSO JOINING US, SONYA
DEVILLE.
YOU HAD A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR
TAG TEAM PARTNER AS TO WHICH ONE
OF YOU WOULD BE COMPETING.
SONYA: IT WAS A TOUGH DECISION.
THERE SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND ABOUT A CONFIDENT
WOMAN.
SHE KNOWS WHEN TO STEP UP AND
WENT TO STEP BACK.
CHARLY: AREN'T YOU A LITTLE BIT
CONCERNED THAT MANDY DOESN'T
HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN A LADDER
MATCH?
SONYA: FIRST EVER WOMEN'S
WRESTLEMANIA BATTLE ROYAL, SHE
WAS A PART OF.
FIRST EVER ELIMINATION CHAMBER,
FIRST EVER TAG TEAM ELIMINATION
CHAMBER.
INEXPERIENCED?
JONATHAN: A COUPLE HOURS FROM
NOW OR AN HOUR, BECAUSE IT WILL
BE RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW,
YOUR BEST FRIEND WINS THE MONEY
IN THE BANK CONTRACT, SHE IS
RAISING IT UP HIGH ABOVE.
ARE YOU TELLING US THAT YOU WILL
BE INCREDIBLY HAPPY FOR HER.
>> OF COURSE I'M GOING TO BE
HAPPY FOR HER.
>> HOLD ON, I JUST HAVE A QUICK
QUESTION.
WHY ARE WE TALKING TO YOU?
>> SHE GAVE UP HER SPOT FOR THE
MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH.
>> I CARE MORE ABOUT OTHER
PEOPLE THAN MYSELF, UNLIKE YOU.
>> I'M COMPETING IN THE WOMEN'S
DIVISION.
I'M COMPETING IN THE WOMEN'S
DIVISION.
>> THAT IS WHAT MATTERS.
>> STOPPED TALKING, NO ONE IS
LISTENING.
JONATHAN: ALL RIGHT, I HAVE TO
HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
ARE YOU OK, ARE YOU DONE?
>> WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
CONVERSATION.
NOW SHE HAS TO STEP IN WITH HER
IRRELEVANCY.
>> NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR TAG TEAM
PARTNER EITHER.
JONATHAN: NOW IT IS STARTING TO
GET PERSONAL.
WE WILL GO DOWN TO RINGSIDE.
>> I WAS TRYING TO TAKE NOTES ON
EVERYTHING GOING ON.
THAT IS WHAT THIS NIGHT IS ALL
ABOUT.
IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR.
LIVES ARE GOING TO CHANGE
FOREVER.
>> I'M STILL GETTING OVER THE
FACT THAT THEY CALL YOU RENEE
YOUNG.
SOMEBODY'S CAREER WILL CHANGE
FOREVER BY CLIMBING THE LADDER
TONIGHT.
>> LET'S GET THE ACTION STARTED
RIGHT NOW ON THE KICKOFF SHOW.

A.K.A. SPONGEBOB AND PATRICK.
SPONGEBOB AND PATRICK ABOUT TO
GET LOCKED DOWN.
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, LET'S
GIVE A BIG WELCOME TO THE USOS.
TOM: I'LL BET SPONGEBOB AND
PATRICK DIDN'T ENJOY THAT.
PATRICK STAR IS GROWING AS AN
INTELLECTUAL SUPERIOR.
EVERYBODY IN THE WWE UNIVERSE,
ESPECIALLY USO.
TOM: BRIAN AND ROWAN AGAINST THE

>> WHAT SORT OF CHAOS WILL ENSUE
IF THEY BECOME THE FOR A TAG INE
CORNER.
 SMACKDOWN TAG
TEAM CHAMPIONS AS MEMBERS OF THE
MONDAY NIGHT RAW TAG TEAM
DIVISION?
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS.
HE IS THE SIZE OF A REDWOOD
TREE.
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS MAN.
NOW ON THE MOVE.
WHAT A BEHEMOTH.
ROWAN AND BRIAN HAVE TAKEN
CONTROL OF THIS MATCH UP AGAINST
THE USOS.
CLIMBED THE LADDER, GRABBED THE
BRIEFCASE.
INSIDE IS A CONTRACT.
THAT CONTRACT GUARANTEES YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME WWE
CHAMPION'S.
WAIT A MINUTE!
ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE, CAN A
LIFE CHANGE IN AN INSTANT.
THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.
>> W W E "MONEY IN THE BANK"
PAY-PER-VIEW, STREAMING LIVE ON

THAT CAN ALL CHANGE HERE
TONIGHT.
IF YOU RETRIEVE THAT BRIEFCASE
AND THE CONTRACT INSIDE.
>> TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE END,
WHAT JIMMY AND JEY ARE GOING
FOR.
THEY ARE MEMBERS OF THE
SMACKDOWN ROSTER.
THEY WILDCARD RULE, THEY ARE
EXPLOITING IT TO FULL EFFECT.
IF THEY WIN HERE, YOU WOULD
THINK THAT PUTS THEM IN
CONTENTION FOR A TITLE
OPPORTUNITY.
BYRON: A CHANCE TO BECOME A
CHAMPION, WHY WOULD YOU NOT JUMP
ON THAT?
TOM: DANIEL BRYAN VERY WISELY
TAKES OUT THE LEG.
THIS IS THE STRATEGY FROM
TUESDAY NIGHT ON SMACKDOWN LIVE
IN LONDON.
THIS IS WHERE ROWAN DOES HIS
BEST WORK.
KICKOUT BY JEY.
COREY: ROWAN REALIZES THAT JEY
USO WILL NEVER BE EQUAL TO
HIMSELF OR THE NEW DANIEL BRYAN
SO HE'S TRYING TO SQUEEZE THE
BRAIN OUT OF HIS HEAD.
I SPEAK FOR ROWAN, FOR DANIEL
BRYAN.
TOM: LOOK AT HIS EYES.
MERCILESS FROM ROWAN, JUST
HAVING HIS WAY.
DANIEL BRYAN HAS GONE SO FAR TO
SAY THAT HE BELIEVES THEY COULD
PROPEL THE TAG TEAM DIVISION TO
ALL NEW HEIGHTS.
THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.
THE USOS ARE ON MONDAY NIGHT
RAW.
DANIEL BRYAN IS THE SMACKDOWN
TAG TEAM CHAMPION.
BRIAN, GIFTED SUBMISSION
SPECIALIST.
TOOK SOME TIME AWAY, PICKED UP
MEDICATION VERY HEAVILY.
DANIEL BRYAN WITH MENTAL
CLARITY.
COREY: JEY USO HAS GOT TO FIND A
WAY TO TAG IN HIS BROTHER.
HE MAY NOT LAST MUCH LONGER.
TOM: BRYAN HERE ON THE MOVE.
A KICK TO THE FACE.
JEY USO IS IN TROUBLE.
NOW, JEY.
DROP BY USO.
BYRON: HE HAS CREATED HIMSELF A
VALUABLE OPENING NOW.
CAN JEY USO MAKE THE TAG?
TOM: ROWAN NOW LEGAL.
THE TAG, AND HE'S GOING TO GET
IT.
JIMMY USO IS LEGAL IN THIS MATCH
AND ALL OVER ROWAN.
LOOK AT JIMMY USO ATTACKING THE
BIG MAN, WHO JUST SWATTED HIM
OFF.
>> JUST TO BIG, TOO POWERFUL.
LANDED ON HIS FEET.
TAKEDOWN, ROWAN.
A POWER OUT BY ROWAN.
FRIGHTENING POWER.
A KICK ABSORBED BY ROWAN.
WHAT POWER!
INTO A JACKHAMMER.
COVER, KICKOUT.
STILL ALIVE.
>> AT WRESTLEMANIA, I BECAME THE
FIRST EVER WOMEN'S CHAMPION.
I'M HOLDING TWO BIG TARGETS.
>> BECKY LYNCH!
>> I WILL DEFEND MY WORLD

ARE NEVER THE SAME AFTER
PARTICIPATING IN A LADDER MATCH.
TONIGHT, WE WILL FIND OUT WHY
WHEN THEY ATTEMPT TO EXTEND TO

SAM: THE WOMEN OF W WWE, A
SECOND LADDER MATCH GOES DOWN
TONIGHT FOR THE ULTIMATE
OPPORTUNITY.
JONATHAN: SETH ROLLINS SAID HE
DIDN'T COME THIS FAR TO BE
SECOND BEST.
HE SAID THIS MATCH COULD GO FAR
TO CEMENTING HIS LEGACY.
TONIGHT, WHO WILL HAVE THAT
LITTLE BIT EXTRA?
>> PASSION, DRIVE, HEART,
QUALITIES ANY SUPERSTAR MUST
HAVE IF THEY WISH TO BE CALLED
CHAMPION.
FOR SETH, THERE HAS ONLY BEEN
ONE PASSION, ONE DRIVE, ONE
DREAM, LEAPING OVER EVERY
HURDLE, OVERCOMING EVERY
OBSTACLE, CLIMBING EVERY

WEEK, WHOSE JOURNEY IS DEFINED
BY CONQUERING EVERY CHALLENGE

BUILT.

MAYBE THE BEST PERFORMER OF OUR
GENERATION.

FIRST TIME EVER.
WHAT IS IT GOING TO COME DOWN TO
TONIGHT?
SAM: I'M A GIANT AJ STYLES FAN,
BUT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS
OF HIS SMACKDOWN RAIN, HE WAS
FLIRTING WITH STAGNATION.
HE WASN'T REALLY GETTING THE JOB
DONE.
HE BROKE THAT CHAIN OF EVENTS
WHEN HE CAME TO RAW AND
REINVENTED HIMSELF.
I THINK AJ STYLES IS ONE OF THE
BEST WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD, BUT
THE BEST IN THE WORLD MUST WIN
CHAMPIONSHIPS, PERIOD.
JONATHAN: WITH THAT BEING SAID,
WHAT DOES SETH ROLLINS NEED TO
DO TONIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT AJ
STYLES DOESN'T HAVE A MAGICAL
NIGHT?
BETH: SETH AND AJ, THEY WERE
COMPETING, RISING ON THEIR WAY
TO INCREDIBLE HEIGHTS AT THE
SAME TIME.
TWO OF THOSE GENTLEMEN HAVE THE
RESPECT OF EVERYONE IN THE BACK.
I'M LOOKING FOR THEM TO BRING
OUT THE BEST IN ONE ANOTHER AND
TO SEE THE RESILIENCE.
I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE A
CLINIC.
RESILIENCE WILL BE KEY TONIGHT.
JONATHAN: I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR
AND SEE WHAT THESE TWO -- THIS
IS A NIGHT WHERE CAREERS ARE
CHANGED, CAREERS ARE MADE.
YOU ALSO KNOW THE FUTURE, IF YOU
CAN WIN ONE OF THESE MONEY IN
THE BANK'S CONTRACTS, YOU CAN
SET THE TONE FOR THE NEXT 12
MONTHS.
THERE ARE CERTAIN NIGHTS THAT
YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE.
TONIGHT IS THAT NIGHT.
YOU NEED A COMBINATION OF SKILL
AND LUCK, SHOWING UP IN THE
BRIGHTEST LIGHT.
THEY ARE ABOUT TO GET REALLY
BRIGHT.
THE MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER
MATCH KICKS OFF THE SHOW NEXT.

>> NAOMI, YOU HAVE GOT TO
WONDER, WILL SHE HAVE WHAT IT
TAKES TONIGHT?
SHE CERTAINLY HAS THE FLASH.
