WWE MONEY IN THE BANK LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE
Prepare to fight, unsheathe your scythe a ghastly beam of ill to slice the life with blinding light and seventh dimensional skill. The centuries of dedication inherited, till at last, from years of solar gladiation can only end in white heat, red hot, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this pro wrestling show, folks.
The pre-show consists of Scott Stanford and Peter Rosenberg hanging out on a set and hyping up the show. At various points, Booker T, Renee Young, and John “Bradshaw” Layfield bust in with their own takes and predictions. New Day are interviewed backstage and talk about how they don’t run from challenges, and it could be a pancake on a pole match but they’ll always come out on top.

Collar and elbow, Cesaro with a side headlock, shot off, shoulder block for two. Drawing Hardy back up, back into the headlock, reversal blocked at first, Jeff gets his own, shot off, shoulder block, drop down, hip toss! Manhattan Drop, snapmare, blockbuster, action spills to the floor. Cesaro catches a dive and then puts Hardy into the barricade and then over it onto the floor!

Jeff Hardy wins by pinfall with the Swanton Bomb.
The main show kicks off with a video package depicting WWE Headquarters as being immensely tall and in the center of a big city district full of skyscrapers, so that feels like Vince compensating for something.

Asuka vs. Carmella vs. Dana Brooke vs. Lacey Evans vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler (Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
The men start in a gym and beat the hell out of each other in and around the weight machines. The women are in a lobby and Asuka dives off the facade above the elevators, taking the other five out with a crossbody! The Empress gets in the elevator and the door shuts before anybody else can get in! Mysterio goes for a tijeras off some equipment but Black counters with a hard knee!

Dozer picks up a barbell loaded with weights and sets it down on AJ’s chest to trap him! Styles asks a passing Mysterio for help but the arguable greatest of all time leaves him to stew!
Hallway chase, past the bathrooms... and Rey Mysterio runs into Brother Love! Corbin cuts Bryan off ahead of some elevators, brawling away, and the men fight into an elevator! Rey comes up the rear as Shayna leads a merry chase up some stairs! The men brawl out of the elevator near them and the chaos gives Asuka a distraction to slip out but Baszler sees her and gives chase!
Black fights off on his own while Bryan, Corbin, and Otis fight in a room with some ropes strung along the walls. The American Dragon leaves them laying and runs off as a Doink reveals himself to be hiding behind a chair! Four of the women run into each other, Carmella slaps Jax and Nia takes her into a conference room for a beating!
Shayna shoves Dana into the room as well, throwing her over a table! Jax and Baszler size each other up and start clubbering! Nia knocks her down, Brooke takes Jax out with a chair and retrieves a briefcase that’s hung from the ceiling, but Stephanie McMahon appears to tell her the real briefcase is on the roof.
McMahon asks her to clean Nia’s drool off the floor and leaves. Carmella takes a portrait of herself as Ms. Money in the Bank off the wall and breaks it over Dana’s head! She moonwalks out... AND LACEY EVANS PUNCHES HER IN THE THROAT! AJ Styles is alive and he’s gonna fu— he’s gonna find Rey. He stalks the corridors yelling about how he’s gonna find him and hurt him, but he runs into locked door after locked door.
Styles turns and faces a portrait of the Undertaker and gets spooked but continues his chase. He opens a door into a blue smoke-filled room full of Deadman paraphrenalia, a coffin, an urn, and such, and turns around into a hard kick from Black! Al shuts him in the room and leaves. Paul Heyman is enjoying a feast at a catering table when everyone in both matches that isn’t unconscious in a boardroom somewhere runs in and squares up!
Brooke runs into him, still wearing the portrait of Carmella, when Otis declares a food fight and throws a platter at Paul E’s head! Indeed... FOOD FIGHT! Rey gets sandwiched between Jax and Dozer, Bryan and Black (who have met before at wXw AMBITION in shoot style excellence, go check it out) brawl off and Nia puts Mella through a table!
Jax and Otis are the only two left standing in the catering area and leave in mutural respect. Dozer finds a deli counter and takes some pie... JOHN LAURINAITIS IS HERE FOR SOME PEOPLE POWER! OTIS PIES HIM! Asuka runs into a janitor and yells excitedly at him in Japanese when all the other women come running. Brooke is last and she slips and falls on the freshly mopped floor!
Roundhouse kick takes Baszler out, Nia slams her into a wall, and Asuka still has the lead! Bryan and Black still brawling, Al whips him into a wall but Styles blindsides him! Dan and AJ brawling, they fight into Vincent Kennedy McMahon’s office! Mr. McMahon stands up and they stop fighting. He tells them to get out and they put some chairs back in place before leaving. Vince sanitizes his hands and goes back to work.
Outside, AJ and Bryan bicker about just whose fault that weird encounter was when Corbin comes up behind them and takes them into a nearby conference room to beat them up. Jax and Asuka are the first two to the roof, entering the ring with Evans not too far behind them. Nia is dominant, scoop lift into a military press drop on Lacey!
Jax climbs, Asuka cuts her off, strike rush, but Nia puts her into the ladder! Evans from behind with a right hand, she climbs the ladder but again Asuka plays spoiler! She dumps the ladder over into Jax, we get more back and forth brawling, some drama as Evans tries to climb over her but gets knocked down. Corbin climbing up the other side and trying to stop her for some ungodly reason but she knocks him down...
Asuka wins the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, retrieving the briefcase.
Otis comes to the roof and rolls into the ring but of course, the rungs of the ladder break under his weight again. Sigh. Corbin attacks and folds the ladder up so he can ram Dozer in the belly with it, but Otis sidesteps the next charge and it’s Caterpillar time! Black and Mysterio come to the roof next, setting a ladder back up and climbing opposite sides.
Styles slides in and knocks the ladder over with both of them on top of it! Corbin knocks Rey off a guardrail and then throws Black over the edge as well! AJ climbs the ladder, Bryan up the opposite side, Corbin pulls Dan off and Otis yanks at Styles! The fray clears, Styles is still standing and he resumes climbing the ladder.
Baron up the opposite side, jockeying for position, fighting over the briefcase, AJ unhooks it but Baron’s got a hand on it... AND ELIAS IS HERE?! HE SMASHES A GUITAR OVER CORBIN’S BACK! Styles drops the briefcase and Otis catches it...
Otis Dozovic wins the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
That’s... the show, folks?
