Tiffany Stratton, Bayley, Nia Jax Segment 

Tiffany Stratton: This Saturday, it officially became, Tiffy Time, when I climbed up that ladder, to the Tiffy Top, grabbed that briefcase, and became the youngest Ms. Money In The Bank in WWE history. And Trish Stratus may have been the hometown host, but I was the real star of the show. And she’s not here tonight to ruin my moment, because it is my time. Liv, Roxanne, Bayley, you better all keep your head on a swivel, because your guy’s title reigns are on Tiffy Time. And very soon, we will all be saying, and new WWE Women’s Champion.

Bayley: Tiffy, Tiffy, Tiffany Stratton, let me be the first to congratulate you on such a huge victory. I know what it takes, and as someone who has so much high praise about her lately, that must add a lot of added pressure, so I’m impressed that you were able to prove everybody right.

Tiffany Stratton: Bayley, why are you even here, what’s your point? You out of all people should know that it’s Tiffy Time.

Bayley: Tiffy Time, I don’t really care what time it is, I actually came in here to lend a hand of advice, because you know, I did win a Money In The Bank Briefcase in the past, in 2019. But let me guess, you didn’t even know what the WWE was in 2019, did you?

Tiffany Stratton: 2019, wasn’t that like a million years ago? And it’s 2024, and guess what, three years in this business, and I’m the youngest Ms. Money In The Bank in WWE history, while you were at home, watching from your couch, probably eating potato chips, with no friends.

Bayley: You know what? I’ll give you that. This is gonna be the last piece of advice I give you. If you even plan to use on that me, then you better plan on making history again, as the first women to ever fail a cash-in.

Nia Jax: Bayley, what are you doing out here, making empty threats? In case you forgot, that’s a rude welcoming to your Queen. But in case you forgot, Bayley, you have match against me in three weeks at SummerSlam, where I’ll be taking that title off of you.

Bayley: Is that right? Look, I don’t know who you think you’re talking to, but this isn’t NXT Hugger, Bayley, this isn’t 2017 Bayley who you single-handily put on the shelf for three months. Yeah, you’re proud of that, you idiot? This is the Grand Slam Women’s Champion, Bayley. This is your Royal Rumble Winner, and this is the WWE Women’s Champion. The same Bayley that’s going to embarrass you at SummerSlam. But you know what, let’s just play a game here, alright? Let me play devi’s advocate. Let’s say I slip on a banana peel at SummerSlam, and you do beat me, Tiffy, what’s going to happen then? You gonna cash in on Ole Nia Jax here, because we all know she’s got a little PTSD from the last time she was the champion.

Nia Jax: Bayley, I’m well aware you’re no longer the hugger I injured before your SummerSlam match in 2017. What are you now, BBL Bayley? I don’t know what you’re trying to prove by playing divide and conquer with Tiffany and Me. I have no problem with Tiffany. She’s my personal Barbie Doll. But you, Bayley, you’re not a toy, you’re my victim. And at SummerSlam, I’m going to victimize you.

Jax and Stratton gangs up on Bayley. Michin attacks Jax with a kendo stick to close this segment.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. Chelsea doesn’t have time for Byron’s terrible questions. Did you see what happened to her at Money In The Bank? The whole world is now calling her, The Mother Of Mayhem, The Princess Of Pain, so I don’t have time for this nonsense. She’s waiting to hear from Sir Nick Aldis. Chelsea tells Byron to go away.

Solo Sikoa Promo 

The Bloodline had all the titles, both Heavyweight, and both tag team titles. It would all be the same if Roman Reigns never went soft. It takes a new Tribal Chief to stay at top of his game. And that’s why here, to build a new family. A more powerful family. Honor your family. A more aggressive family. And this family will rule for decades as long as I’m the Tribal Chief. And by the end of the night, everyone will acknowledge me.

Andrade El Idolo & Carmelo Hayes Segment 

Byron Saxton: Andrade, thank you for sitting down with me today. Last Saturday, in Toronto, Money In The Bank, a lot of people said that you had a star making performance. But here we are, nearly a week later, and those same people are asking what’s next for Andrade?

Andrade El Idolo: What’s next? The vision is the same, WWE is my destiny. That’s why I’m here.

Carmelo Hayes: Hold on, Byron, what are we doing talking to this guy for? We should be talking about the real MVP in that match. The guy that stole the show at Money In The Bank, the one that everybody is talking about.

Andrade El Idolo: Hey, Melo, Tranquillo. I didn’t say I was the MVP, the people said it, the people have spoken.

Carmelo Hayes: Well, people are saying that you’re the one that screwed me out of that match. Man, I should be treated better around here. I don’t know if people forgot, I’m a first round draft pick, I need to be treated like that. I’m the guy that pinned Randy Orton. I went against Cody Rhodes in my very first night in this company, let’s talk about it.

Winner: Legado Del Fantasma via Pinfall 

– Chelsea Green tells Pretty Deadly to step in the back of the line. No one will get in her way of talking to Nick Aldis. We see LA Knight walk out of Aldis’ Office. Knight tells Chelsea that Aldis is pretty busy, and she’ll have to wait a little longer.

– We see Cody Rhodes talking to Randy Orton inside the locker room. Randy heard what Solo Sikoa had to say, and there’s a good chance that Cody will be standing alone in a ring with a much of Samoan’s. He also knows that Cody doesn’t want his help, but whether he likes it or not, if things go sideways, he’ll come out there and have his back. Randy will always and forever have Cody Rhodes back. Kevin Owens feels the same way, but he’s not here tonight. Randy insisted that Kevin should stay home with his family. Randy tells Cody to give Solo a piece of his mind. Everything does come to an end. So, when this business with The Bloodline is over, Cody is going to have a lot of men that are coming after his WWE Championship. At the end of the day, Randy will still have Cody’s back.

LA Knight Promo 

Let me talk to you. Money In The Bank came and went. Let’s be honest, I’m not going to stand out here and complain. I ain’t gonna cry. I ain’t gonna make excuses. It didn’t go my way. I got dumped onto a ladder as someone reached up and grabbed that Money In The Bank contract. So, then I just start thinking to myself. I start thinking, Money In The Bank contract or no Money In The Bank contract, I told you all, it doesn’t make a difference. He’s the walking embodiment of Money In The Bank. YEAH! So, what’s that got me doing, let’s rewind our clocks, just a touch. Because let’s go ahead and look at the path to Money In The Bank. I got a little piece of footage that I think we should take a look at. Go ahead and cut that.

And you look at that, every single person in this building right now, every single person at home, what they saw was this man, he did move on to Money In The Bank, right? YEAH! But let’s look a little deeper. Let’s really think about what we really saw there. Because, yeah, I did move on to Money In The Bank, but there’s something more important that happened right there. What happened there was, I pinned the United States Champion. With that in mind, I got something delivered to me, hot and fresh from Nick Aldis Office. And let me just say that what’s inside of here was just for me. What this had in here had Nick Aldis’ signature already on it.

And what this is, is a contract for the United States Championship at SummerSlam. Now, the only thing that’s missing, I looked in here, and I see a signature from Nick Aldis, I see a signature from LA Knight, YEAH. The only thing missing is a signature from that edge lord, Logan Paul. So, what I want to do, I want Logan Paul to come on down here and sign this contract, right now. But don’t get too excited, that’s not going to happen. I can’t do that, you know why? Surprise, surprise, roll your eyes, guess who’s not here? Logan Paul. But Logan, you can b rest assured that, one way or another, I will get this contract signed, it will be you, it will be me, and guess what? At SummerSlam, I will own you, I will own that belt, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Not because you’re not good enough, because I won’t let ya. And that’s not an insult, that is just a fact of life, with everybody saying, LA Knight, YEAH!
