Alexa Bliss' husband and pop singer Ryan Cabrera was in attendance last night to watch his wife compete in the six-woman Money in the Bank ladder match. Bliss also appeared in an interesting backstage segment during the show where she had an exchange with her doll, Lilly, to advertise the WWE Capital One credit card.

As mentioned by the Wrestlevotes Twitter earlier in the day, Interim WWE CEO Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Nick Khan had a meeting with talent before the show. Sources that attended tell "Fightful" that the "vibe was positive" throughout.

The report also notes that as of Saturday morning, finishes for the matches hadn't been discussed with everyone competing on the card. Additionally, many talents who originally planned to fly into Las Vegas on Friday were booked for SmackDown late in the week and had to adjust travel plans accordingly.
