Carmelo Hayes, Chad Gable, Andrade, and Jey Uso have all secured their spots in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match while Chelsea Green, Lyra Valkyria, and IYO SKY have earned their spots in the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match at WWE Money In The Bank on July 6.

Jacob Fatu shocked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and the WWE Universe last Friday on "SmackDown" when he blindsided the three men alongside Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa to become the newest member of The Bloodline after Rhodes has defeated Sikoa via disqualification in the main event. Following such, The Bloodline will be hosting an acknowledgement ceremony as tensions between the rise of the group and Paul Heyman continue to be on the rise.

Additionally, World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, former Bloodline member Jey Uso, WWE Women's Champion Bayley, and the aforementioned Rhodes are all advertised to be in town tonight on WWE's event page.

We are live! Wade Barrett and Corey Graves greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video recapping what happened during and prior to Jacob Fatu's WWE debut last week.

We see The Bloodline pull up to MSG as Paul Heyman stands by. The group then makes their way down to the ring, but as they do, we see Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton arrive at MSG. They storm down to ringside and begin brawling with The Bloodline down the ramp. Orton and Tama Tonga brawl at ringside as Owens and Loa brawl through teh crowd. Orton sends Tonga's head bouncing off the ring apron as Owens delivers a Swanton Bomb to Loa off a rail and through a table. Nick Aldis then runs down to the ring with a bunch of security guards to break things up.

Back from the break, Aldis tries getting Rhodes, Owens, and Orton calmed down now that The Bloodline has left ringside. A security guard slides in the ring, but Orton lands an RKO at him. Other security guards get in the ring, but Rhodes, Owens, and Orton clear the ring. Owens lands a Stunner on one of them, and Orton follows it up with a Stunner. Aldis storms to the back as Rhodes lands a Cross-Rhodes on another security guard.

Rhodes, Owens, and Orton then grab mics, and Owens tells The Bloodline they aren't waiting until Money In The Bank. Orton says he, Rhodes, and Owens will put The Bloodline down for good at Money In The Bank, and Rhodes says when The Bloodline looks at him, Owens, and Orton in the ring, they see three victims. He rattles off Orton, and Owens' accomplishments in WWE, and says he should be defending his Undisputed WWE Championship in MSG instead of fighting a war with The Bloodline he thought he finished at WrestleMania 40.

Aldis returns back to ringside, but this time, with referees and police officers. Rhodes sends a message to Solo Sikoa, and says he doesn't see a "Tribal Chief" in him, but rather a seat filler before he makes his way to the back with Owens and Orton as they are escorted by the police.

Back from the break, we see Aldis and the police officers escort Rhodes, Owens, and Orton to a car to drive them away from MSG.
