“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
A video kicks off the show hyping up the Money in the Bank event. We’ll see two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, as well as the WWE Universal Championship, WWE Championship, and RAW and Smackdown Women’s Championships being on the line.
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Naomi vs. Carmella vs. Nikki Cross vs. Mandy Rose w/ Sonya Deville vs. Ember Moon vs. Dana Brooke vs. Natalya vs. Bayley
All the women look up at the Money in the Bank briefcase before everyone starts fighting. Cross gets Brooke and Carmella in the apron and punches away at them.

Elias walks out to the ring and plays an electric guitar. Elias says normally he’d be playing acoustic, but his guitar broke. Not only is he the biggest acquisition in Smackdown Live history; he’s the biggest acquisition in WWE history. Vince McMahon texted him saying he can sleep well at night knowing Elias is the future of WWE. That made him feel good until he had to come to a substandard toilet bowl like Hartford. Now that Roman Reigns is out of the way, he can perform. Elias tells the crowd to hold the applause, silence their cellphones, and shut their mouths.
Elias sings that the people of Hartford are boring and he brings the energy. No one wants to hear Roman talk. Reigns can shut his mouth because Elias just took him for a walk. Elias brings up the Whalers leaving because Hartford is a disgrace. Elias completes his song and says, “Thank you! Goodnight! I love none of you!” Corey Graves talks about how much he loved that performance. Elias goes to leave and poses on the ramp.

Probably one of the most insane #MITB Ladder Matches I've ever seen. The bumps they took on the ladder were next level dangerous at times. What a huge surprise to have Brock Lesnar appear as the 8th man at the end and win this.

This was a really fun show. I have to say this is one of the better WWE PPV main shows I've seen in a while. Great surprises, great matches… What more can you want? #MITB
