Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore are on commentary.
Backstage, Damian Priest attacks Drew McIntyre, slamming him into a truck gate. The two brawl until they’re briefly pulled apart, only to start fighting again.
WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton made her entrance, introduced by ring announcer Mark Nash. Wade Barrett joined Joe Tessitore on commentary as they recapped Stratton’s win over Nia Jax from last week.
Stratton said that a year ago, she walked into Money in the Bank with all the hype, and now she’s the champion. She reminded everyone she beat Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax. Just as she started warning the future MITB winner not to try cashing in on her, music interrupted her.
Alexa Bliss took the mic and said she didn’t think she and Tiffany had ever formally met. She reminded Tiffany that she’s a former Women’s Champion and a former Ms. Money in the Bank. Alexa said she had been watching closely ever since Tiffany beat Charlotte Flair. She made it clear she didn’t feel sorry for Charlotte, but she needs that briefcase. She told Tiffany not to take it personally — “It’s just business.” Alexa said she actually liked Nia, but she doesn’t know Tiffany, and that’s not a good thing. “You better pray I don’t win at Money in the Bank. If you thought your rise was fast, wait for your downfall.”
Charlotte Flair’s music hit, and she walked out with a mic in hand. Charlotte said if there’s one thing people know about her, it’s her humility — “I might be the most humble 14-time champion ever.” She congratulated Tiffany for beating her at WrestleMania and said she’s doing great, but it won’t last. Charlotte admitted the one thing she’s never done is win Money in the Bank, and if that’s the route she has to take, so be it. She promised to win, cash in, and take her title back. “When I want something, I don’t wait. I take it.”
Tiffany fired back, calling Charlotte a hypocrite. “Didn’t you say cashing in the briefcase was the easy way out?” She said Alexa and Charlotte were both a bit vintage for her taste. “You were the standard. I’m the upgrade.” Tiffany reminded them that whether they liked it or not, “it’s always Tiffy Time as long as I’m champion.”
As Tiffany headed up the aisle, Giulia made her way to the ring.
Wade Barrett noted that if Zelina Vega wins Money in the Bank, she could not only chase more gold but also stop anyone else from using the briefcase to cash in on her. Zelina Vega finds herself caught between Charlotte Flair and Giulia in a tense staredown. Before she can react, Charlotte shoves her out of the ring and charges at Giulia. But the U.S. Champion isn’t backing down—she drops Charlotte hard to the mat.
Giulia steps up next, only to get knocked aside by Flair, who quickly hits a fallaway slam on Vega as she reenters the ring. Giulia tries to go after Vega with a few stiff shots, but Flair counters and drives Giulia into Vega’s midsection.
Vega rolls to the outside as Giulia gains control with a flurry of strikes on Flair, but the Queen answers back and both go down in a double knockdown. Vega slides back in, and when Giulia and Charlotte try for a double suplex, Vega counters with a sharp DDT, nearly scoring a double pin.
She’s thrown out again, and Giulia eats a big boot from Charlotte that sends her to the floor. Flair follows, but both women get caught off guard when Vega launches herself onto them with a dive, taking us into picture-in-picture.
During the break, Giulia and Flair briefly reunite to beat down Vega, dragging her back into the ring and nailing a double suplex on the U.S. Champion. The alliance quickly fades as Flair rolls up Giulia for a two-count. Charlotte then goes after Vega in the corner, but Vega hits a jawbreaker and follows with a roll-up of her own, nearly stealing the win.
Giulia spots her chance and nails a back suplex on Vega, going for the pin—only for Charlotte Flair to break it up. The tension boils over into a shoving match between Giulia and Flair, which ends with Giulia dropping the Queen with a stiff dropkick. Charlotte recovers quickly, driving Giulia into the corner and nearly scoring a three-count as the broadcast returns from break.
Giulia fights back to her feet, landing a series of strikes that push Flair to the ropes. But Charlotte answers with a big kick that drops the U.S. Champion. Vega tries to capitalize, but Flair lifts her onto her shoulders—just in time for Giulia to deliver a perfectly timed dropkick, knocking both women to the mat. Giulia scrambles for back-to-back pin attempts on Vega and Flair, but only gets two counts each.
Giulia stays aggressive, sending Charlotte into the corner—but Flair battles back and regains control. She climbs to the top rope and launches herself with a crossbody, taking down both Giulia and Vega. As Flair recovers, Vega traps her in a headscissors and transitions into a submission hold, locking it in tight. Giulia breaks it up, but Flair quickly drops her again. Charlotte then steps over both opponents and heads back to the top rope, connecting with a moonsault on both Giulia and Vega. She goes for the double cover, but it only gets a two count.
Giulia sends Vega into the ropes and traps Charlotte Flair in a Rings of Saturn. Flair manages to twist out of it for a nearfall to break the hold. Vega charges back in with a kick, then hits a 619 on Flair—only to get rocked by a headbutt from Giulia. The U.S. Champion turns her attention back to Flair but runs straight into a spear! Flair covers, but it’s only a nearfall.
Charlotte tosses Vega out of the ring and goes for the Figure 8, but Giulia escapes and nearly steals the pin. Flair tries again, but this time Vega flies in with a Meteora straight to her face.
Vega follows up with a Code Red on Giulia, but Flair breaks the count just in time. The crowd shows their appreciation as the action keeps coming. Giulia is thrown out of the ring, and Vega dodges a spear—only to eat a big boot from Charlotte.
Flair locks in the Figure 8 one more time, but just as Vega looks ready to tap, Giulia crashes in with a double stomp to break it up. Vega rolls to the outside, and Giulia capitalizes—nailing the Northern Lights Bomb on Flair for the pin and the win.
Giulia celebrates her win and looks up at the Money in the Bank briefcases hanging above the ring.
A video package airs with DIY. Gargano and Ciampa talk about the tag division and call out the Motor City Machine Guns. Ciampa says he’s ready to face Chris Sabin later tonight on SmackDown.

Back from the break, R-Truth walks to the ring. R-Truth gets in the ring and asks Savannah, Georgia what’s up. He talks about Saturday Night’s Main Event and says he’s not facing his childhood hero, because he doesn’t recognize the man John Cena has become.
Truth says he didn’t know where things went wrong, but realized the problem is power. Cena used to call him a friend and brother, but the more power he got, the more distant he became. The texts slowed down, the replies stopped, and the phone calls ended. Truth thought he was annoying Cena, but others felt the same way. He compares Cena to Gollum from Lord of the Rings, saying he’s become obsessed with the title like it’s his precious. Truth says he doesn’t like what Cena’s become and doesn’t believe Cena is happy.
He calls Cena the greatest of all time and says he’s going to try to bring him back. If Cena wants to ruin wrestling, then Truth has to save it—by saving Cena. R-Truth says he doesn’t want to fight John Cena, but if he has to, he’ll beat the hustle, loyalty, and respect back into him. He ends by saying that tomorrow night, we’ll say it one more time—if John Cena wins, we riot. “What’s up!?”
We then see a recap of the brawl from Raw involving CM Punk, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, and Bron Breakker, hyping their tag team match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Naomi says she’s been undervalued, underappreciated, and underestimated. The old Naomi let people take advantage of her—but not anymore. Jade Cargill says Naomi took everything from her. Nia Jax says she only cares about one thing—the title. Naomi and Jade got in her way, and when someone ruins her chances, she ruins theirs. Jade makes it clear—no one’s taking anything from her again. Nia says she doesn’t trust Naomi, and Naomi says she’s done letting Jade and Nia get the best of her. She’s taking that contract.
Nia says it doesn’t matter who’s in front of her—she’ll destroy anyone that stands in her way. All three will face off in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match next week.
