The show opens with Elias getting ready to play a song in the ring.

Rollins slaps the guitar from Elias' hands with the chair, but then Jinder Mahal blindsides him and helps Elias beat him up. Reigns runs down to make the save.

Kurt Angle comes out and pulls a Teddy Long by turning this fight into a tag team match.

Natalya appears hurt after the match and Rousey goes to check on her. Jax also seems concerned, but she and Ronda end up arguing a little. Ronda helps her out of the ring while Jax looks on from the ring with a look of regret on her face.

Tag Team Battle Royal
The B Team won and got a title shot against Wyatt & Hardy

Bobby Lashley comes out after the break to address Sami Zayn. He calls Sami to the ring and tells him to say whatever he has to say to his face. It doesn't take long for Zayn's music to hit, but he never shows up. He eventually calls to Bobby from the crowd with a mic. He says he will not get in the ring with Lashley until MITB
Zayn starts mocking some of the inspirational quotes Lashley posts to his Instagram. Lashley takes it all with a smile as Zayn runs him down.
Zayn questions whether Lashley was even in the army and the smile leaves Bobby's face. The segment ends with Sami leaving through the crowd.


Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss and Amber Moon vs. Riott Squad
Bayley's music hits and she runs down to the apron. Banks tags her and The Hugger goes wild on Logan. She hits her finisher to get the win in a matter of seconds. Banks and Moon look a little confused but still celebrate the win.

Banks and Bayley seem to make peace backstage after the match, but then Angle walks up and says their win doesn't count because Bayley was never supposed to be in the match. Sasha walks away looking mad.

Big Show appears after the break with some athletes from the Special Olympics to talk about this year's games.

Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens 
KO trips him on the top rope and starts stomping him into the mat until the ref DQs him. Owens takes out his ager on Balor with a frog splash from the top rope.
Owens grabs a ladder from under the ring and sets it up. He climbs up, but his nerves prevent him from jumping off. Balor recovers and takes him out with another dropkick. Finn climbs the ladder and hits the Coup de Grace. He climbs up again and pulls the briefcase down.

The show ends with Finn Balor holding up the Money In The Bank briefcase while sitting on top of a ladder. Will this be the scene come MITB?!

Rating 60/60

Pretty decent show and matches as we look forward to MITB!
