00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30We are in mint condition, the Money in the Bank qualifiers continue.
00:37Money talks, Scott, and nothing gets our superstars' attention faster than an opportunity for gold.
00:43But as the last remaining spots start to fill in, superstars are getting more desperate to covet this green opportunity.
00:50But don't despair, because we will make sense of it all this week in WWE.
01:00Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this week's got us feeling like a million bucks as we get one step closer to Money in the Bank.
01:08That's how I feel, Meg. How about you? Penny, for your thoughts?
01:11Scott, I think that you can bank on it being a great day, because I'm right there with you.
01:16Los Angeles won't even know what happened.
01:18Oh, you said it, but before we can cash in on an unforgettable night at the Intuit Dome,
01:22we need to get through some other items here on the agenda.
01:25Welcome, my friends, to This Week in WWE.
01:27It's me, your buddy, your pal, Scott Stanford.
01:29And I'm Megan Morant, collecting the last deposit from SmackDown before Money in the Bank, including one American Nightmare.
01:35Yeah, listen, Cody Rhodes made his first appearance on the blue brand since WrestleMania
01:39to immediately discuss the elephant in the room we're talking about John Cena.
01:44Namely, Rhodes' own hesitation against his one-time friend and mentor that cost him the undisputed WWE title,
01:50something Cody promised Cena he'd never do again.
01:53Yeah, and this still sore subject really worked the American Nightmare up to the point of needing to just calm himself down.
01:59And the best way to do that, well, grand surprise.
02:02It was one so big that even we would be yeeting about it.
02:05Yeah, it's the one, the only, Jey Uso.
02:08And as the world heavyweight champ, as music hit,
02:11Meg Knoxville erupted into full-on yeet mode.
02:14Yeah, but Scott, that was all cut short by one giant hater.
02:18If it isn't professional wrestling's biggest wannabes.
02:31You are nothing more than a John Cena wannabe.
02:38And you are nothing more than a John Cena wannabe.
02:47You both wanna be me so bad it makes me sick.
02:52You want my fame, you want my money, but you will get neither because you are too desperate and you are too lazy.
03:02There is one, one other human being in WWE who embodies hustle, loyalty, and respect.
03:14And he got the fortune fame and followers to back that up.
03:18Surprise losers.
03:22My partner for the main event of Money in the Bank is here as well.
03:27This is a moment in history all of you get to witness the moment that John Cena stood side by side in the ring with Logan Paul.
03:56And look, all of you will live long, pathetic, miserable lives.
04:06But at least you will get to say that you saw that.
04:12Yeah, yeah, you people are ungrateful.
04:31You don't know what's good for you.
04:33There is one problem though, although this does seem too perfect.
04:38The problem is I should be standing next to the WWE Champion as a WWE Champion.
04:52I should have been the one to leave Saturday night's main event with that World Heavyweight Championship around my waist.
05:03But Jay, look at me.
05:04Look at me.
05:05You got lucky, dog.
05:08You got lucky, Jay.
05:09You got lucky.
05:10You know it.
05:11I know it.
05:12They know it.
05:13He knows it.
05:14Yeah, you Cody Rhodes.
05:16You needed Cody Rhodes to save you.
05:19Yeah, remember that Jay?
05:20Yeah.
05:21When Cody Rhodes interfered in the match because you two cheaters can't do a single thing in this business without it being handed to you.
05:28These two nepo babies were born on third thinking they hit a triple.
05:35Self made man, self made man.
05:41Five years ago, nobody ever would have believed that Logan Paul would be a WWE superstar.
05:54And they certainly never ever would have believed that I would be tag teaming with the greatest of all time.
06:04But look at me now.
06:07I'm not just a superstar in the WWE.
06:10I am the superstar in the WWE.
06:13My time is now.
06:15He has told the world that his time is almost up.
06:18He is the last real champion.
06:20I am the inevitable face of this company.
06:23So Ja, Jay, Cody, at Money in the Bank next weekend.
06:28Boys, if you want some, come get some.
06:32Hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:37We ain't got a way for Money in the Bank.
06:40We can have this right now.
06:44Right now.
06:45Hey, hey.
06:59What are you guys arguing about?
07:01Where are you headed?
07:02Are you gonna go back there and polish his peacemaker?
07:05It's on.
07:08It's on.
07:09It's on right here in Knoxville, Wade.
07:11Yeah, that was a cheap shot from Cody Rosa just about lit this Powder King on fire.
07:18Oh, he's got him up looking for the attitude adjustment.
07:20Super kick.
07:22Disaster kick.
07:24Little taster of what we're gonna see at Money in the Bank one week from tomorrow.
07:31Over the rope, cross body to the outside on Cena.
07:36And springboard it in.
07:39But Jay meets him.
07:41They meet Logan Paul.
07:44How about some memories?
07:46Cody.
07:48Cody from Jay and Cody Rhodes.
07:55Money in the Bank.
07:58Cody Rhodes, Jay Uso, against John Cena.
08:08and Logan Paul.
08:11If the Maverick Logan Paul and the undisputed WWE Champion John Cena can't get onto the same
08:17page, then they have no shot at beating the reunited former tag team champions in the American
08:23Nightmare Cody Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Champion Jay Uso.
08:27But with only days until their epic bout starts, will it be enough time for Paul and Cena to
08:32strategize their way to victory?
08:34We will find out Saturday in Los Angeles.
08:37Ivar calls for war in Tulsa.
08:48Caller may want to exit the ring as well.
08:50Incoming!
08:51That's a bigger than a bucket move.
08:56And now Ivar.
08:58Uh-oh, he's gonna go up top.
09:03Dangerous 330 pounder when he flies from up there.
09:07Hey!
09:08Wait a minute.
09:09Roxanne Perez out of the apron distracting Ivar.
09:14J.D.
09:15J.D. McDonough takes advantage face first off the post.
09:20The prodigy comes out.
09:22Helps Finn Balor and J.D. McDonough.
09:25And now Balor up top with a coup de grace.
09:30Cover by Balor.
09:31One, two, three.
09:33And a win for Judgment Day.
09:35Here are your winners!
09:36The Judgment Day!
09:37A Pat Finn Balor's recruitment of Roxanne Perez paid off tonight.
09:50Well, the recruitment of Roxanne Perez seemingly has Finn Balor's fortunes turning in his favor.
09:56A returning Bianca Belair looked to turn her fortunes around last Friday with a visit
10:01to good ol' Rocky Top, Belair's hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.
10:05The EST was looking to regroup in a comfortable place with her family in the crowd cheering her on.
10:10Man, it feels good to be in Knoxville!
10:13This city is so special to me.
10:15And it's not just because it's my hometown, but it's because it's my safe space.
10:20I got the love and the support from my family that are right there.
10:24Everything that I've just been going through with losing my first WrestleMania match,
10:27losing the tag team titles, losing my friends along the way, I just wanted to come right back here to my safe space.
10:34However, it would not remain safe for very long.
10:37Welcome to Friday Night SmackDown!
10:41Former friend Naomi came out to ringside looking to reconcile with Belair.
10:46B, I am so glad you finally here on SmackDown.
10:51I just want to talk to you, please.
10:53But what is there to talk about?
10:55B, I just want your forgiveness.
10:57I've sent you text messages, voicemails, and you haven't gotten back to me once.
11:03Even when I landed here, I went by your parents' house to try to get a hold of you.
11:07Bianca was having none of it.
11:09And it didn't take long for things to take a wrong turn.
11:12But unfortunately, nobody was there, so I just let myself in.
11:16I went through your photo album.
11:18You know the one you got there on the coffee table?
11:20You just looked so freakin' happy, and it reminded me of how it was when we were together as tag team champions.
11:29We were best friends, and you betrayed my trust.
11:32You took our friend and threw her on the windshield of a car, and you lied about it to me for months.
11:37I trusted you.
11:38Come near my family again, I promise you what you did to Jade would be nothing compared to what I can do to you.
11:46You know, Bianca, it wouldn't be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair.
11:52Finally, help arrived in the form of a storm as Jade Cargill continues her quest of revenge against Naomi.
12:01But while it's revenge Cargill craves, Jade had to stop and focus on the very large briefcase hanging above her head
12:08as she was set to take on Naomi and Nia Jax in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.
12:14Nia Jax is in position, Wade.
12:21Not a position you wanna be in.
12:23Superplex powerbomb, Nia Jax.
12:26And right in the drop zone, two women getting stacked.
12:30She's stacking them.
12:31She's stacking them.
12:32She's stacking them.
12:33She's stacking them.
12:34It's an annihilator.
12:35Jade takes the best of it.
12:39Naomi looking to get shoulders down and she does.
12:43My oh my.
12:44Here is your winner, Naomi.
12:55Naomi claims her spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match, prompting Rhea Ripley, Roxanne
13:00Perez, Alexa Bliss and Julia to proceed with caution.
13:04But even with her words of warning, will Naomi be able to climb the ladder and cash in on an
13:09opportunity of a lifetime.
13:10The following is the women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
13:22Only time will tell which one of these ladies will earn the right to call themselves Miss Money in the Bank.
13:29It is extremely crowded atop the ladder.
13:32Oh!
13:35And now we got a race between Morgan and Lynch.
13:38Morgan all alone at the top.
13:41Miss Money in the Bank.
13:42Career altering elation.
13:45Oh my God, are you kidding me?
13:48It's Liv Morgan.
13:49Miss Money in the Bank coming to the ring.
13:52She's cashing them cool.
13:54Liv Morgan, who just a couple of hours ago won the contract.
13:58The contract.
13:59Holy hell!
14:01Roll up, Liv did it!
14:03Liv did it!
14:04Liv the champion!
14:05Liv the champion!
14:06Liv the champion!
14:13But care now.
14:15Liv flips through.
14:18Ducks the hook.
14:19And Morgan now.
14:20Case first with a code breaker.
14:21Went for Oblivion.
14:24Correcting.
14:25Liv Morgan now.
14:26Going for the win.
14:28But Ivy Nile not gonna allow it to happen.
14:30Trying to steal one here.
14:31On the care.
14:32Cover.
14:33Morgan's gotta break things up.
14:34Oblivion, Liv thought she had it.
14:37But Ivy Nile wouldn't allow it to happen.
14:40Ivy Nile saved the match.
14:43I think it was over there.
14:44And Liv driven face first into the steel steps as the triple threat match continues.
14:51No count outs.
14:52Ivy Nile back into the ring.
14:55The second of the ring.
14:56My care.
14:57Caught her.
14:58Stephanie to my care now.
14:59Looking to put her away.
15:00With the S.V.B.
15:02Cover.
15:04My care in matches.
15:05Qualifies for money in the bank.
15:09Here is your winner.
15:12Stephanie.
15:14The care.
15:18Welcome to Monday Night Raw Stephanie back here.
15:20What a way to kick off her official career on the red brand.
15:23With an immediate ticket to money in the bank.
15:25And with that our ladder match is full.
15:27Launching La Primera into the path of Rhea Ripley.
15:31Alexa Bliss.
15:32Roxanne Perez.
15:33Naomi.
15:34And Julia.
15:35As all six women face off for the money in the bank briefcase.
15:38Saturday.
15:39June 7th.
15:40In Los Angeles.
15:44Stephanie back here has quite the weekend ahead of her.
15:46Before she even thinks about climbing a ladder at money in the bank.
15:49Valk hair wades into familiar waters.
15:51Alongside Lola vice at worlds collide.
15:53Against two triple A superstars.
15:55Who helped J.C.
15:56Jane win the NXT championship.
15:58Off of Stephanie Valk hair.
16:00Sheik Tormenta.
16:01And Alice.
16:02But if we want to talk about familiar foes.
16:04Well.
16:05We might as well ask Lyra Valkyria.
16:07Who finds herself defending the women's intercontinental championship.
16:10Against Becky Lynch.
16:11For the second time at money in the bank.
16:13After the man's first failure to claim the only title she has yet to win.
16:18This rematch came with a stipulation.
16:20If Becky loses.
16:21She can never challenge Lyra Valkyria for the title again.
16:24But if the man wins.
16:26Valkyria has to give Lynch the respect she feels she's earned.
16:30By raising Becky's hand in victory.
16:32Despite the long history of mentorship between these two.
16:36Respect seems out of the question at this point for Lyra Valkyria.
16:41Who called out Lynch for one final confrontation.
16:44Before money in the bank.
16:46I have beat you twice.
16:49I have beat you blind.
16:51And at money in the bank.
16:53I am going to beat the crap out of you.
16:55And ensure that you never get to poison.
16:59What it means to be intercontinental women's champion.
17:06The only thing that is poison is your perspective.
17:15You say that I have hurt you more than anybody else.
17:18I believe you're speaking emotionally even though I did physically hurt you too.
17:24But emotionally I have hurt you more than anyone else.
17:27I don't believe that's true.
17:30You know what I think happened?
17:31I think you wanted an excuse to hate me.
17:35You took any excuse to hate me because you want to replace me.
17:40But you can't do that.
17:41Nobody can.
17:42I didn't want to hurt you.
17:50I wanted to make you better.
17:52But that's all changed now.
17:56And now I know the thing that's going to hurt you the most is when you're gonna have to raise my hand.
18:02She's not gonna take that as she rushes now down the entrance way to attack Becky.
18:14And the fight is now on.
18:17She's getting her ass kicked by Lyra here.
18:20The intercontinental champion.
18:22The women's champion now.
18:23Taking it to Becky Lynch.
18:24Officials trying to separate these two.
18:26This is an emotional powder keg.
18:29Heading into Saturday at Money in the Bank.
18:36Lyra Valkyria looking stronger than ever heading into her next bout with Becky Lynch.
18:42This former protege turned powerhouse champion is clearly ready to teach her past mentor a lesson.
18:48As Valkyria defends her women's intercontinental championship against Becky Lynch at Money in the Bank.
18:58It doesn't get any bigger than this.
19:00WrestleMania.
19:01The ladder match.
19:02The Money in the Bank.
19:03Let's get it on.
19:04And we kick things off for the winner of last year's Money in the Bank ladder match.
19:07CM Punk.
19:08And ladies and gentlemen, you must climb a ladder, retrieve the briefcase.
19:12And inside, a guaranteed title opportunity anytime, anyplace.
19:17There goes Kane.
19:18It's left to Punk.
19:20Can Punk do it?
19:21Punk does it.
19:23For the second straight year, CM Punk is Mr. Money in the Bank.
19:31Oh my God, CM Punk.
19:33CM Punk has elected to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.
19:37And that's what Money in the Bank is all about.
19:39Cashing it in at the right place at the right time.
19:43And CM Punk sets Jeff Hardy up for the gold of sleep and it connects.
19:48And we have a new World Heavyweight Champion.
19:51His name is CM Punk.
19:54And now, Javon is gonna fly.
20:05Wow.
20:06My.
20:07Come over here.
20:08Keep this in the ring, please.
20:10Javon Evans is out of his damn mind.
20:15Are you looking at me?
20:17You looking at the champ?
20:18Your business is in there.
20:19Your business is in there.
20:20It ain't with me tonight.
20:22It ain't with me tonight.
20:23It ain't with me tonight.
20:24It ain't with me tonight.
20:25It's got a little preview of Worlds Collide right there.
20:29Ethan Page out of his chest, squaring off.
20:32Wait.
20:33No, Ethan Page slams Phoenix and sends him over our announce desk.
20:37And he eats a huge super kick.
20:42His glasses just went flying ten feet as Javon Evans laid him out.
20:49Phoenix is down.
20:50Ethan Page is down.
20:51There's a roll up.
20:52There's a roll up.
20:53Attempted to steal a quick one was Berto, but too fast is Javon Evans.
20:58Fred Dodd, Fred Dodd Evans.
21:01And the big kick on the outside.
21:03And the young rising star is putting on a show.
21:08What is Page doing?
21:09A distraction from Santos Escobar.
21:11Referee did not see a thing.
21:13What in the world is Ethan Page doing?
21:16Well, he shouldn't have squared off to Ethan Page who was minding his own business.
21:21MTY Los Garza.
21:24That's what you get.
21:25That was a spectacular showing.
21:31Here are your winners.
21:34Los Garza.
21:38Legado means legacy.
21:43And for Los Garza and Santos Escobar, they have a storied one to uphold in AAA.
21:48But legacy can easily be tarnished.
21:51And when taking on three sadistic and savage high flyers, that legacy might be damaged and defaced beyond repair by El Ijo de Dr. Wagner Jr, Psycho Clown and Pagano.
22:03Ethan Page may have removed Ricky Saints from the NXT North American title pitcher.
22:08But in a flash, Javon Evans, Laredo Kid, and Ray Phoenix have jumped into the frame.
22:14Now against some of the fastest and fiercest competition in the world, All Ego will have to go all out to retain.
22:22As NXT's first women's double champion, Raw's newest acquisition Stephanie Vaquer is no stranger to double duty in the first of two matches Saturday.
22:31But given the run-ins leading up to Worlds Collide, Daliz and Cheek Tormenta are aiming to end Vaquer's night early, which is where Lola Vice's fists come into play.
22:41Dragon Lee leads Dorado and Cruz del Toro into a battle that will send air traffic control at LAX into a frenzy as the LWO takes on the trio of Aerostar Mr. Iguana and Octagon Jr.
22:55And in a match for his newly obtained AAA Mega Championship, El Ijo del Vikingo makes his first defense against Chad Gable.
23:04With Gable's infamous history with luchadores well documented, a win here could be Chad's redemption.
23:10And the collective world's regret.
23:13The City of Angels is in for a hell of a beginning with Worlds Collide.
23:17Live only on YouTube this Saturday, June 7th at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific.
23:22You know Meg, while the worlds of AAA and WWE are set to collide for the very first time, CM Punk's collision course with Seth Rollins and his new associates has, is and seemingly always will be inevitable.
23:37Scott, but for CM Punk, what he sees as inevitable is doing the unprecedented, winning a third Money in the Bank ladder match and becoming champion one more time.
23:47And no matter who he needs to cash in on, his friend Jay, his famed foe John Cena, even Gunther if he prevails on Monday, Punk promises to win.
23:55But as sure as the Second City Saint may be, someone else needs Punk to be absolutely sure.
24:01Because if Punk doesn't win the title, let alone qualify by night's end, Sami Zayn is sure that a whole different fate is inevitable.
24:08If Seth Rollins wins that briefcase, if he wins the contract, this place, it's over, okay?
24:18It's over.
24:19It turns into something very different.
24:21It turns into something unrecognizable.
24:23It's gonna turn into something that you and I will not like.
24:27So I am telling you now, I need you to win tonight.
24:34We all need you to win tonight.
24:40And Punk, for whatever it's worth, I want you to win tonight.
25:05But I also want you to know that should you win, and should you win the Money in the Bank contract,
25:19and should you win the World Championship, you and me will be face to face in this ring again.
25:28And we will have a very different conversation than the one we're having right now.
25:37I look forward to it, Sami.
25:49And now it is time for the interpromotional Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
26:07No pitfalls, no submissions, only one way to win.
26:10Secure a ladder and possess that briefcase.
26:13You're gonna break yourself a head drop.
26:16He don't care.
26:17Up two, four.
26:19Van Damme at the top of the ladder.
26:21He got it.
26:22Van Damme.
26:23He got it.
26:24This from Van Damme can now be called Mr. Money in the Bank.
26:30I'm cashing in the Money in the Bank at one night stand.
26:36It is without question the biggest match in the career of Rob Van Damme.
26:41This is unbelievable.
26:43My God.
26:46Come on, Rob.
26:47Go for it.
26:48One, two, three.
26:50The winner and new ECW Champion, Rob Van Damme.
27:04Hey, can you get him up into position?
27:11He collapses down.
27:13Well, what an effort it was from R-True, but once again,
27:18completely overestimating his own power against this humongous human being.
27:24Tour of the Islands, JC Matteo.
27:29Whoa.
27:33Here is your winner, JC Matteo.
27:40While Lil' Jimmy and R-True's imaginary crew of friends could not help tonight,
27:46JC Matteo continues his streak of devastation, and now it's just punishment time.
27:53Headbutt after headbutt against Truth.
27:59And now.
28:00Jimmy's on the way.
28:04With a chair in hand.
28:07Big brother who Solo Sokoa has trained to woo back into his groove.
28:14Mateo comes right in.
28:34JC attacks from behind.
28:36And Solo Sokoa is yelling at JC.
28:39There's a master plan for Solo that he wants.
28:48As Solo Sokoa's recruitment drive of Jimmy Uso continues, Damian Priest is happy to say
28:54that his war with Drew McIntyre has finally come to an end, defeating the Scottish psychopath
28:59inside the confines of a steel cage.
29:02And even though it left him with quite the black eye, Priest hasn't lost sight of what he came to SmackDown for.
29:09Championships.
29:10Damian's preoccupation with McIntyre prevented him from vying for that very briefcase that started the whole saga.
29:18But Priest sees the chance to prove himself against, quote, the most badass champion in WWE, one he has unfinished business with.
29:27So, in once again becoming El Campagnon, Priest channels an old moniker of his, the Archer of Infamy, taking aim at Jacob Fatou and the United States title.
29:39At some point, you and I are gonna get in this ring, and we're gonna handle business, but that's for you and me.
29:45And if your crew, your so-called family wanna get involved, they could catch a fresh one too.
29:52I don't want it to be a nickname anymore, I don't want it to be a moniker, I want it to be a fact.
30:00Damian Priest is, and forever will be, El Campeon.
30:05WIPA!
30:09Wow!
30:12The aspirations are great, but the tension, even greater.
30:16As seconds later, Damian Priest crossed paths with the United States Champion.
30:20However, we're only left with anticipation, as Fatou's focus was on qualifying for Money in the Bank.
30:26Needing to get past two men, who are no stranger to each other, nor the opportunity at stake.
30:31Andrade and Carmelo Hayes.
30:39The implant of that on Andrade.
30:41No defending that if you're Andrade, double jump moonsault.
30:45He lands it, but Solos up on the apron.
30:49That's the match over.
30:51Do it, do a moonsault.
30:54He's saying do it again, meanwhile he could have gotten into the cover there.
30:58Well Andrade's a powerful competitor.
31:01One more!
31:03JC Mateo's ordering him around.
31:05Look who's here!
31:09Are you kidding me?
31:11Jimmy Uso has arrived!
31:16No!
31:17Oh no!
31:18Would you look at the ring now with Andrade delivering the message!
31:22Oh!
31:23Andrade delivered the message!
31:25Here is your winner, Andrade!
31:31Solo Sokoa might be taking big withdrawals from Jacob Fatou's trust.
31:40But Jacob's loss is a gain for Andrade, as El Idola looks to make the climb for the third time.
31:46With the books almost balanced, only one of these men will enter the history books as the next Mr. Money in the Bank,
31:52and quite possibly the next WWE or World Heavyweight Champion this Saturday, June 7th.
32:02This is Money in the Bank, the ladder match.
32:05Someone will scale the ladder, someone will grab the briefcase, and one of these men will change their lives forever.
32:13Oh, no!
32:15Oh, God!
32:16It is time, Seth!
32:18Uh-oh!
32:19Can this be the night Big E changes his career?
32:23We all wanna go hit this-
32:26What?!
32:28It's happening!
32:29Big E is catching in his Money in the Bank contract!
32:34It's official!
32:35Are we gonna see it?
32:36Speed ending!
32:38Will we have a new champion?
32:40We do!
32:41Can you believe it?
32:44Big E laid it out for the world to hear.
32:47I am coming for the WWE Champion.
32:50Well, mission accomplished.
32:52You are looking at your new WWE Champion.
33:05You, you, you, you, you, you, you have all killed the tag team.
33:10The tag team division that we built.
33:14Matter of fact, matter of fact, let's hold a moment of silence right now for
33:18the death of the SmackDown tag team division.
33:22Everybody stand up.
33:23Get up.
33:24Everyone get up.
33:25Bow your heads.
33:26A moment of silence.
33:27A moment of silence begins now.
33:32Wyatt Six!
33:45They're here!
33:46Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six.
33:50Rowan takes out Motor City Machine Guns.
33:55Loomis off the top rope.
33:58A week ago they returned.
34:03Joe Gacy double close line.
34:06Back to Bedlam in the SmackDown tag division.
34:09Powerbomb on top of Axiom.
34:13What is the motivation?
34:15What is the reasoning behind these attacks?
34:18Nikki Cross.
34:19God.
34:20What is she doing here?
34:21Takes out Candice LeRae.
34:23She came out of nowhere.
34:25She absolutely terrifies me.
34:27As is the rest of the Wyatt Six.
34:29Sister Abigail Howdy delivers.
34:32I will.
34:45Oh, my friends, the SmackDown tag team division was already heating up, but now the returning
34:50Wyatt Six have set it ablaze with consecutive attacks on the division as a whole.
34:55It seems that the Wyatts are operating at breakneck speeds towards success, maybe literally.
35:00Raw's tag team division is also feeling the heat with a new tandem consisting of the unstoppable
35:05badass Braun Breaker and big Bronson Reed, brought together, of course, by Seth Rollins.
35:11This seemingly indestructible duo looks to crush the world heavyweight champion on the
35:16visionary's behalf.
35:17But Jey Uso isn't alone.
35:19With matching shades at the ready for his honorary use, Sami Zayn, the duo are poised to be
35:24to erase this new stable before they can cause any more unrest to the red brand.
35:29But with Money in the Bank competitors solidified and a defense against Gunther looming, Jey's
35:34focus needs to stay sharp on the team of Breaker and Reed.
35:39Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn, Sami Zayn.
35:44Braun Breaker sent up over the top, Sami with eyes on the back of his head.
35:51Launching himself over.
35:54Uh-oh, Breaker and Reed catching Sami Zayn, main event Jey Uso suicide dive, everybody's down.
36:02And look who's here, with a stomp to Jey Uso.
36:13Seth Rollins forces a disqualification.
36:17You wondered when Seth Rollins was gonna show up.
36:21Seth didn't wanna find out if Braun and Bronson were gonna get the job done.
36:25And Sami Zayn fighting back against Rollins.
36:27Rollins went right after the world champ, that'll be his target.
36:32And now Sami Zayn runs into a headbutt by Big Bronson Reed.
36:37And Rollins now barking orders at these two, saying take him out, take care of him.
36:43Sami Zayn now, on the announce table.
36:47No!
36:52You gotta be kidding me!
36:54No way you're gonna kill the man!
36:56Get down!
36:57Bronson, get down!
36:59And Punk!
37:00CM Punk is here!
37:02Punk saves the day!
37:04Punk with a steel chair!
37:06Punk saving Zayn!
37:08Take it out Reed!
37:10Thank goodness for CM Punk, or Sami Zayn would be in a hospital tonight.
37:23CM Punk told Sami earlier tonight, I have your back.
37:28In this situation with Rollins and his new running buddies.
37:33I mean, I have no idea how this night ends if CM Punk doesn't save Sami there.
37:40Hey, back up, back up.
37:43Back up, what do you want to do?
37:47And it wasn't for Punk.
37:49That would have been total and utter destruction.
37:52We know where he's gonna be later tonight.
37:55We got him right where we want him.
37:58Trust me.
38:00Sage advice by Rollins because Punk's in that triple threat later tonight
38:05to try to qualify for the Money in the Bank contract ladder match.
38:10Even with boot marks on the back of his head,
38:13Jey Uso will have to put Seth Freak and Rollins on the back burner
38:17as the WrestleMania rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship is nearly upon us.
38:22However, with Jey Uso set for three matches in one week,
38:26will Jey truly be 100% when he stands toe-to-toe with the ring general in Phoenix?
38:31While this battle may occur in the desert,
38:33this destructive bout won't have a tumbleweed in sight.
38:39Live at a sold-out O2 Arena in London.
38:43Six women compete for a career-changing opportunity in the title of this Money in the Bank.
38:48It is thunderous inside the O2.
38:52Gio is nowhere near the briefcase.
38:54The moonsault off the ladder!
38:58You will never get a better opportunity to make this happen.
39:05Gio Sky missed Money in the Bank!
39:15Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Asuka for the WWE Women's Championship.
39:20Missed to Charlotte!
39:22Belair rolls her up!
39:24Belair wins the title!
39:27Missed Money in the Bank, Gio Sky!
39:32She's catching in!
39:34Jane is to the sky!
39:35Mobsault!
39:36Cover!
39:37The WWE Women's Champion is Io Sky!
39:42You know, Scott, second chances seem to be something of a theme in our final Money in the Bank qualifying match,
39:53just like Chad Gable getting a second opportunity to qualify for Money in the Bank.
39:58What do you mean?
39:59That's so grande americano!
40:00You know that that's not el grande americano.
40:03You know what?
40:04Whatever.
40:05I'm catching your drift here.
40:06Relax.
40:07Though AJ Styles could earn a chance to get back in the world title picture after his return
40:10from injury earlier this year.
40:12And CM Punk, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso are getting one more opportunity to put someone in position
40:17to stop Seth Rollins if Punk can qualify.
40:20And that right there is the real challenge.
40:22Just earlier that night as Tunk ran in to help Sami Zayn, Jey Uso against Seth, Braun, and Bronson,
40:28we saw that those three are definitely gonna be up to something during this last qualifying match.
40:33We know where he's gonna be later tonight.
40:36We've got him right where we want him.
40:39They had no problem throwing in their weight to tip the scales for Seth the week before.
40:43And the mission is still the same, Meg.
40:45You get the visionary a world title opportunity.
40:48So with the matter of who takes the last spot in the ladder match carrying a bit more weight
40:54than usual, we were left holding our breath for the eventual breakdown of this Money in the Bank qualifying match.
41:01Got a sleep connects.
41:07Punk, can he cover?
41:10Punk into the cover.
41:12And shades of last week with Sami Zayn.
41:17Tonight brought Breaker cost Punk the match.
41:20And Reed and Breaker pounded away on CM Punk.
41:24No rules, no disqualification.
41:27Jay Uso couldn't help himself, him and Sami coming out here to the aid of CM Punk.
41:36AJ Styles was going for the phenomenal forearm and Bronson Reed backed into it and took him out.
41:43Might have hyperextended his knee there, AJ Styles.
41:46Now his attention is turned.
41:50And now Styles top rope taking everybody out.
41:53Everybody's down, remember no disqualification.
41:56No disqualifications, no count outs.
42:06And hey, Pat, check out AJ Styles now up to the apron now.
42:17Styles measuring his man.
42:19Styles looking at a phenomenal forearm and a headbutt by El Grande Americano.
42:23That headbutt took out Styles.
42:26El Grande Americano's going to Money in the Bank.
42:30Here is your winner.
42:32CM Punk, thinking of a GTS.
42:38And it's been a Punk by Breaker.
42:41The insurance policy pays off.
42:43Sami Zayn back into the fight.
42:47And Big Bronson Reed just steamrolling Zayn.
42:52Lot of meat out here.
42:54Bronson and Braun Breaker unleashed like two rabid balls.
43:00And Rollins with a stomp to Zayn.
43:04In those steel-toed boots.
43:07Seth freaking Rollins.
43:08And a stomp to Punk.
43:09Jey Uso, back into the fight.
43:13But the number's too much for Jey.
43:19Breaker with a spear.
43:21And now a stomp to Jey Uso.
43:28Rollins seeks power.
43:31Absolute power.
43:33And he's on his way.
43:36We've seen this before.
43:42Tsunami!
43:53Oh no.
43:57He's got a tag team match on Saturday.
44:00Go through next Monday.
44:02Tsunami!
44:07El Grande Americano qualifies to enter the Money in the Bank ladder match.
44:11But it's Seth Rollins who's looking strongest heading into this massive weekend.
44:15Regardless, that makes six bringing us Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Solo Sokoa, Andrade, Penta, and El Grande Americano all brawling out for that career-changing Money in the Bank contract.
44:27Sounds like trouble.
44:29And make it double.
44:30Because that same night, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Stephanie Vaquer, Roxanne Perez and Julia all face off to earn a title opportunity anytime, anywhere.
44:40If they emerge victorious in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
44:45However, it's not all about ladders and briefcases at Money in the Bank.
44:49In Los Angeles, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria run it back with a Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line.
44:55But above even that, this battle is about respect.
44:59And one half of this tag team match has a serious lack of respect for wrestling.
45:05And they're looking to ruin it for everybody.
45:07Cody Rhodes and Jay Uso defend the heart and soul of professional wrestling against John Cena and Logan Paul at Money in the Bank.
45:16Live from Los Angeles, Saturday, June 7th.
45:19Scott, I mean, with how good all of these Money in the Bank qualifying matches have been, I think we're in for quite the payday this weekend at Money in the Bank.
45:31Oh, my goodness.
45:32With worlds collide that same night, too?
45:34I mean, we practically won the lottery, Meg.
45:36It's gonna be the two lucky superstars that managed to climb the ladder and claim the contract who really raped the riches over this weekend, though.
45:44Listen, they say money can't buy happiness, which is true.
45:46But a Money in the Bank briefcase, that buys happiness.
45:49So, with ladders to climb and contracts to claim, I think it's about time we put this episode in the vault and get ready for LA.
45:57I guess we have to.
45:58I'm Scott Stanford.
45:59And I'm Megan Morant.
46:00We will see you all after Money in the Bank to give you our two cents this week in WWE.
