– Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest got into a pull apart brawl backstage as the show went on air.

Tiffany Stratton, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair Segment 

Tiffany Stratton: Savannah, Georgia. What time is it? My, oh my, how much can change in over a year. This time last year, I was walking into Money In The Bank, with all the hype in the world. Some people thought I was in over my head, and I let the pressure get to me. But here I am, standing as your WWE Women’s Champion. And along my way here, I’ve beaten some of the best. On the grandest stage of them all, I beat Charlotte Flair. And then, last week, I kicked Nia Jax’s face off. And in two weeks, at Money In The Bank, someone else is going to have the same opportunity that I had. And here’s what I have to say to that person. If you try cashing in on me, just know.

Alexa Bliss: I don’t think we’ve formally met. I, too, am a former Women’s Champion. Former Ms. Money In The Bank. I’m Alexa. And you, Tiffany, I’ve had my eye on you. You caught my eye when you beat Charlotte at WrestleMania. And you know, I actually felt bad for her, but then I remembered, you can’t feel bad for a narcissist who needs to call herself The Queen. I don’t need any of that. But what I do need is that briefcase, right there. Because, Tiffy, is it okay if I call you Tiffy? Tiffy, thank you. You know, it’s business, it’s not personal, you know that. You cashed in on Nia Jax, I did the same thing when I had the briefcase. But the difference was, I actually liked Nia, and I don’t know you. So, you better pray that I do not win that briefcase, because if you thought your raise to the top was quick, just wait for that downfall.

Charlotte Flair: Now, if there’s one thing I’m known for, it’s humility. I might be the most humble 14-time World Champion in the history of WWE. Now, I wanted to come out here and humbly congratulate Tiffany Stratton for beating me at WrestleMania. Tiffany, sweety, you’re doing great, but it’s not gonna last forever. Now, here’s the thing, Savannah, I’ve done everything there is to do in this business, except win Money In The Bank. Now, if that’s the path I got to take, so be it. So, when I win Money In The Bank, and I cash in that briefcase, not only am I going to take that title back, I plan on taking back the spotlight. Because here’s the thing, when I want something, I don’t wait, I just take it.

Tiffany Stratton: Char, you’re a lowkey giving hypocrite. I mean, weren’t you the one saying that, cashing in, and winning the title is the easy way out? So, what are you doing out here trying to qualify? And to be honest, you two are a little vintage for me. Y’all were the standard, and I’m the upgrade. And whether you two like it or not, for as long as I’m champion, it’s always going to be Tiffy Time.

However, the only way that could happen is if Jacob and JC work together like a family. Jacob prevents Solo from saying Yadadamean, because he’s not saying it right.

Knight is going to return to the place that helped him become a star. He’s gonna walk through the darkness.

It’s a championship season. Knight will drop BFT’s on everybody. It’s a hit it and quit it situation. Somebody is catching three the hard way, tonight. Knight will move on to MITB. With or without the briefcase, Knight is the leaving breathing example of Money In The Bank.

R-Truth Promo

Savannah, Georgia, make some noise. What’s Up? I’mma tell y’all what’s up. Everybody keep asking me, how are you going to handle fighting your childhood hero John Cena tomorrow night? But they don’t get it, I’m not fighting my childhood hero John Cena tomorrow night, the man I see now, the man that attacked me, I don’t recognize him. But I’ve been thinking about my childhood hero, John Cena. I couldn’t figure out where it went wrong or how I could’ve prevented this. And then I realized a problem, I said I realized a problem. Power. It’s always power. He used to call me his friend, his brother. But the more power and fame he got, the more disconnected he felt. The text messages, less. The replies, slower. The phone calls stopped. I felt like he was always annoyed with me, because no matter what I did, it was wrong. I blame me. Then I thought I did something to upset him or I was getting on his nerves, but then I started talking to others, and they saw him the same way that I did. John Cena isolated himself with power.

He was like that Goblin Fella in Lord In The Rings. He became corrupted with all the power he gave himself. That’s you, John Cena, that’s you, staring at your championship, calling it your precious. It’s not the championship, it’s your ego, dog. You stopped having fun, and now you get mad when someone wants to have fun or have a good time. I don’t like who you’ve become, John. I don’t believe you’re happy. He’s not happy. You are the greatest of all-time. He’s the greatest of all-time, y’all. I don’t know if I can bring you back, but I’m gonna try. You’re not going to take my joy away from me, John Cena. You want to ruin wrestling? So, if I want to save wrestling, I have to save you. Now, I don’t want to put my hands on you, but if I have to, I will beat the ever-living hustle, loyalty, and respect right back in your ass. I’m gonna leave you with us, I miss my hero, I can’t deny it. So, Saturday, we say it again. If Cena Wins, We Riot! What’s Up?
