“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

The show kicks off with a video honoring Memorial Day with some veterans telling stories about missions they have served on and the people they lost in battle. We go into the arena to hear a loud “USA” chant.

We go backstage to see Brock Lesnar, and he is immediately booed by the crowd. Paul Heyman is with him.

Brock Lesnar’s Money in the Bank contract decision

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston’s music hits, and he makes his way to the ring throwing pancakes into the crowd. We see a video package of Dolph Ziggler making a surprise return to attack Kingston and challenge him to a WWE Championship match at WWE Super ShowDown.

A “Kofi” chant picks up. Kingston says he loves the crowd. Last week on Smackdown, Owens took out Big E and re-injured his knee. Then Dolph Ziggler attacked him, but he didn’t finish the job because he’s still standing here and standing tall. When the time is right, he will address Ziggler. Tonight he is here for Mr. Money in the Bank. Paul Heyman said tonight would be the night Lesnar chooses his opponent. Kingston considers himself to not only be a fighting champion, but the greatest WWE Champion of all time. Kingston can do that by beating Lesnar. What Kingston wants right now is for Lesnar to come out and cash in the Money in the Bank contract on him here tonight.

WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins’ music hits, and he comes out to a big reception. Rollins says he’s not Brock Lesnar… he’s better. Rollins likes where Kingston’s head is at. Rollins doesn’t want to wait around either and wants to know who Lesnar is cashing in on. We’ve got the WWE Champion and the Universal Champion here. All we’re missing is Lesnar, so let’s get him out here. Rollins calls Lesnar out.

Brock Lesnar’s music hits… and his music quickly changes to a dance theme. Lesnar comes out wearing a shirt that says, “Brock Party,” and the Money in the Bank briefcase has fake speakers on it. Lesnar comes out dancing with the briefcase on his shoulder like a boombox. Lesnar gets in the ring and psychotically dances. Kingston’s New Day theme starts playing, and Lesnar looks at him. Then Rollins’ music plays, and Lesnar looks at him. Heyman is in the background head-banging. Rollins, tired of the joking around, leaves the ring.

Kingston takes his championship off and tells Lesnar to cash in. Heyman says it’s just like Rollins to pee on everybody’s parade. His client, Brock Lesnar, was going to announce right here and now against whom he was going to cash in the Money in the Bank, but Seth Rollins ruined the “Brock Party.” The crowd loudly boos, but Heyman says you cannot boo Lesnar. The boos get louder. Heyman tells the crowd not to boo them. Boo Seth Rollins. Lesnar and Heyman then leave the ring.

All of a sudden, Dolph Ziggler attacks Kingston from behind and lays him out with a Zig-Zag on the ramp. Ziggler grabs a steel chair and goes to Kingston, but Xavier Woods runs down and fights him off. Ziggler retreats.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Kofi Kingston still being helped up the ramp. Dolph Ziggler returns to attack Xavier Woods. Woods punches him back to ringside, but Ziggler soon rakes the eyes. Ziggler sends Woods into the barricade, but Woods soon makes a comeback by sending him over the barricade. Woods leaps off the barricade with an axe handle smash. Woods then brings him back to ringside only to throw him back into the crowd. Woods sends Ziggler into a barricade and throws a garbage can onto him.

Woods sends him back to ringside and climbs over, but Ziggler quickly attacks the knee. Ziggler then bounces Woods off the steel ring steps. Ziggler grabs a steel chair and hits Woods in the back with it. Ziggler gets him in the ring and hits it again before digging it into his throat. Ziggler is bleeding and appears to have busted open his eyebrow. Kofi Kingston runs down with a chair to scare Ziggler away.

https://twitter.com/tde_wrestling/status/1133167651600121857

-Commercial Break-

Kofi Kingston is helping Xavier Woods up to his feet. Dolph Ziggler comes out to the stage. Kingston has been worrying about who Brock Lesnar is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on when he should be worrying about him. WWE Super ShowDown is eleven days away. Ziggler is taking that title away from him. Ziggler loves Kingston as the WWE Champion, but every time he sees him with that title it reminds him that it should have been him.

Ziggler says they were friends for years, and he defended Kingston as being more than a B+ player. What happens when Kingston doesn’t have the title? What happens when Ziggler takes the title from him? The millions of fans that look up to Kingston… what happens to them? It took him longer than he wanted because at WrestleMania it should have been him. However at Super ShowDown… it will be him. Ziggler then walks off.

Later tonight, we’ll see WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics take on Becky Lynch and Nikki Cross in a non-title match. There will also be a Fatal 4-Way match to determine the Universal Championship challenger at WWE Super ShowDown. It’ll be The Miz taking on Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, and Baron Corbin. Corbin is replacing AJ Styles, who was originally advertised but is injured.

We go backstage to see a big Memorial Party with a bunch of WWE Superstars dancing around. The Usos take centerstage and wish Natalya a happy birthday. Jimmy Uso says everyone is invited… except The Revival. They welcome everyone to The Uso Block Party.

We go elsewhere backstage to see Shane McMahon warming up. Charly Caruso says she heard he’s competing and wants to know who it will be against. McMahon says he has to face Roman Reigns at Super ShowDown, so this is a warmup. Drew McIntyre joins his side. McMahon makes his entrance, but then goes to the back when he doesn’t like the reception.

-Commercial Break-

Video Package: Triple H vs. Randy Orton at WWE Super ShowDown

Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre are in the ring. McMahon says the Samoan Dynasty has gone on for years, long before him and Roman Reigns. All fights have come down to respect. Respect has been ingrained in him since he was a little boy. It wasn’t for Reigns. How on earth can you explain how Reigns could strike down the patriarch of WWE, his father Vince McMahon?

Look who Reigns is representing. You can go back to the High Chief Peter Maivia. Maybe you’d know his grandson, The Rock. Two individuals were the most vicious and well known: The Wild Samoans. Reigns’ father was Sika. McMahon says he knows Sika better than Reigns does. McMahon says he won’t disparage The Wild Samoans. His father was always there to clean up The Wild Samoan’s mistakes. A chant of, “This is boring,” picks up. Who of the Samoan Dynasty will take on McMahon?

-Commercial Break-

Shane McMahon w/ Drew McIntyre vs. Lance Anoa’i

Before the match begins, McIntyre pulls Anoa’i out of the ring and slams him back and forth into the barricade and ring apron. McIntyre then throws him into the ring post before hitting an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. McMahon commentates from in the ring and sarcastically says that was uncalled for. McMahon then tells the referee to ring the bell.

McMahon punches and kicks Anoa’i back to the corner and beats him down. An “AEW” chant picks up. Anoa’i fights back while the crowd chants, “This is awful.” Anoa’i dropkicks McMahon down. McMahon quickly blocks a kick and delivers a back elbow. McMahon punches away at him before applying a triangle choke for the submission.

Winner by Submission: Shane McMahon

McMahon tells McIntyre to pick Anoa’i up. McIntyre then chops Anoa’i down. McMahon applies another triangle choke and says if Sika was here, he’d be doing the same to him. McMahon says the biggest mistake Sika ever made was spawning Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns’ music hits, and he comes out to the stage. Reigns hits McIntyre with a Superman Punch before chasing McMahon. Reigns hits McMahon with a Superman Punch and sets up for a spear, but McIntyre pulls McMahon out of the ring. They run to the back. Reigns and Anoa’i fist bump in the ring.

We go backstage to see Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre still running.

-Commercial Break-

Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and he comes back to the ring with Paul Heyman. Heyman says the time has come for his client to inform one champion who will be having the Money in the Bank contract cashed in on.

WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins’ music hits, and he comes down to the ring. Rollins says the title is his life. Lesnar points at the Money in the Bank briefcase. Rollins says he sees it and tells him to shut his mouth. Lesnar makes a mockery out of the championship because he is a joke. Lesnar says, “Beat box, bitch!” Rollins says he stomped Lesnar’s head into the mat at WrestleMania and can do it again right now. Lesnar used to be the most feared man in combat sports history, but now he’s hiding behind Heyman as a shell of what he used to be. Rollins dares Lesnar to cash in the briefcase.

Heyman pulls out the contract and starts to read the clause that Lesnar has a year to cash in. Lesnar stops Heyman, takes the contract, and slaps Heyman with it. Lesnar was unaware that he had a year to cash in the contract. Lesnar says he’s got a year before saying, “Seth Rollins… screw you.” Lesnar then walks off.

All of a sudden, we see WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth running through the crowd with a bunch of RAW jobbers chasing him. R-Truth escapes and runs off with Carmella on his back.

Charly Caruso is backstage with AJ Styles. She asks about Styles’ injury. Styles says he felt a pop in his lower back at Money in the Bank. Styles says he wanted to compete tonight for an opportunity at the Universal Championship. That’s not going to happen tonight. She asks how long he’ll be out. Styles starts to explain, but Corbin attacks him from behind.

Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring. She’ll team with Nikki Cross to take on The IIconics, next.

-Commercial Break-

Nikki Cross and Billie Kay start off. They lock up, and Peyton Royce tags in. Cross takes Royce down, but Royce soon comes back with an arm wrench. Kay tags in, and Cross hits a headlock takeover. Cross gets them out of the ring and hits a cross-body lock off the apron.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Kay keeping Cross grounded. Cross sidesteps an avalanche and tags in Lynch. Royce also tags in. Lynch hits a diving clothesline on Royce before knocking Kay off the apron. Lynch hits a Bexploder on Royce before connecting with a running forearm. A “Becky” chant picks up.

They’ll have a singles match at WWE Super ShowDown, so they’d have to work double duty if either of them win this match. Corbin attacks Strowman from behind and punches away at him.
