We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae, and Tatum Paxley make their way to the ring.

The bell rings and LeRae throws a piece of clothing at Paxley. Stratton rocks LeRae with a back elbow and lands a handspring back elbow on her, then follows it up with a spinebuster and delivers a Hip Attack on her as Paxley delivers an enzuigiri to her from outside the ring.

LeRae rolls up Paxley when Paxley gets back inside the ring before Paxley delivers a knee strike to Stratton and lands a missile dropkick to send her crashing out of the ring. Paxley then delivers a moonsault off the ring apron to level Stratton and LeRae on the outside, then dumps LeRae back inside the ring during the commercial break.

LeRae rolls out the other side of the ring, but Stratton and Paxley both dump LeRae back inside the ring. Paxley and Stratton then pull one another back out of the ring to prevent the other from getting in and shove each other, but LeRae cinches in a Half Boston Crab on Stratton.

Paxley and LeRae teeter on the ropes, but Stratton joins them up there and delivers a double superplex to LeRae with Paxley. LeRae lands a German suplex on Paxley back from the break, but Stratton lands a double Stunner on Paxley and LeRae. She delivers an Alabama Slam to LeRae and follows it up with a Swanton Bomb to her off the top rope, but Paxley catches Stratton with a flipping kick on her head.

We then head backstage to a verbal confrontation between Chelsea Green, Paige, and Nikki Bella. Paige slaps Nikki, and Green whips her hair into Nikki's face. 

Rey Fenix, Nathan Frazer, and Axiom then make their way to the ring. Ricky Saints and The War Raiders follow.

We then head backstage, where Charlotte Flair reveals to Tatum Paxley that they have a Number One Contenders Match for the Women's Tag Team Championship against Fatal Influence next week as Alexa Bliss is standing by. 

Back at ringside, Sami Zayn makes his way out. 

Zayn asks how many fans came to ride or die with the last real good guy, then says no one has had the journey he has to the Undisputed WWE Championship and voices his disappointment for the reaction from the live crowd. He says he's not given the equal respect of other WWE champions and says when someone gets a match with him for the Undisputed WWE Champion, it's a foregone conclusion that they will win. He says the Undisputed WWE Championship is proof that he's a survivor who overcomes, but Je'Von Evans' music hits and he makes his way out.

Evans says he didn't mean to interrupt Zayn, then says Zayn is getting all red looking like an angry bird and is crashing out. Zayn says Evans has a big future and he's been where he is, but Evans says Zayn is about to say his time is coming. He ponders the idea of his time being right now, then ponders it not taking him 20 years to get to the Undisputed WWE Championship like it did for Zayn. He says he's coming for the Undisputed WWE Championship and says it's possible for him to become the youngest Money In The Bank holder, then says he might pull back up to "SmackDown" with his Money In The Bank briefcase to beat the snot out of Zayn.

Penta's music hits and he makes his way out. He tells Zayn that when he wins the Money In The Bank briefcase, he will become a World Champion whether it's the Undisputed WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship.

Trick Williams' music hits and he makes his way out. He tells Penta and Evans he sees what they've been doing on "WWE Raw" and says he respects it, but they both have the same problem of pride. He says he holds down "SmackDown" and congratulates Zayn on becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion, but throws some zingers at Zayn and says he would never respect a champion "who can't brush his own teeth". He says only one man in the ring looks, talks, and smells like Money In The Bank, but Zayn says no one can do what he does. He says only one man can win the Money In The Bank briefcase, then says he's looking at 2-3 losers and asks what happens when the losses start to pile up. He asks what happens when the crowd starts to sour on them, then says he survived being the gingerbread man and still came out on top. He says no one can overcome what he has, then dares Williams to "sniff [him] again". He says Evans, Penta, and Williams don't deserve to stand in the same ring as him.

Zayn heads up the entrance ramp, but Finn Balor's music hits and says he told Zayn he's coming for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Zayn says Balor isn't special and clocks Zayn. GUNTHER appears to cinch in a sleeper on Balor and level him with a clothesline, then levels Zayn with a clothesline.

Giulia then makes her way to the ring. 

We then head backstage, where an angry GUNTHER pins Danhausen against a wall and sends him crashing into some nearby objects. 

Back at ringside, Blake Monroe makes her way out.

The bell rings and Monroe gains the upperhand. She whips Giulia into the corner of the ring spine first, then delivers a suplex to her and goes for a pin. Giulia kicks out and lands a kick on Monroe's head, but Monroe sends Giulia crashing into the top turnbuckle face first and jams her boot into Giulia's face.

Monroe sends Giulia's head repeatedly bouncing off the mat, but Giulia lands a jawbreaker on Monroe and delivers a missile dropkick to her off the top rope. She runs over Monroe with a knee, but Monroe pins Giulia. Giulia kicks out, but Monroe delivers a Sling Blade to her.

Giulia sets up for a Falcon Arrow on Monroe, but Monroe escapes. Giulia rocks Monroe with a knee strike before Monroe sends Giulia crashing into the ring post face first and pins her for the win.

Winner: Blake Monroe
