Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. In four weeks, at Money In The Bank, Randy Orton will have his championship rematch against Jinder Mahal. Also, the Money In The Bank Ladder Match will take place, with the winner getting a guaranteed contract for a shot at the WWE Championship. The five participants for this year's Money In The Bank Ladder Match are AJ Styles, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens. When Owens shows up, he is told by Shane that he is not one of the five participants...but "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura is. Not surprisingly, Owens calls Shane out on everyone else in the match but AJ Styles won at Backlash, because he beat Styles at Backlash (even though Ziggler also lost at the event). Shane puts Owens in the match and makes him the sixth participant no questions asked. Corbin tells Owens to shut up, and tells Sami Zayn he has no chance and they might as well give him the briefcase. Styles tells SmackDown Live this is the house that he built, and regardless of who he's up against, he'll show them why he's the franchise player when he takes the briefcase. Sami Zayn says he has respect for what Styles has done, but as he says he's here for the same thing, Corbin tells him he's riding high on a fluke victory at Backlash. Sami tells him that victory is no fluke, and if Corbin wants to keep running his mouth, he has no problem making it double or nothing and that they don't need to wait until then. Ziggler says he has won the Money In The Bank Ladder Match before and cashed in successfully, and that he will be damned if he doesn't do it again. Nakamura tells Ziggler he may as well call him "Mr. Money In The Bank." Shane then puts Corbin in a match against Sami Zayn tonight, and Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens will take on AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura tonight, as well.
Becky Lynch and Charlotte beat Carmella and Natalya with a Disarmher to Carmella after Naomi kicks James Ellsworth off the apron.
Sami Zayn gets a surprise pinfall on Baron Corbin mere seconds after their match starts, and Baron Corbin brutally attacks Sami Zayn after the match, sending the assault into the crowd. After referees try to restore order, Baron Corbin walks away and Sami Zayn is placed on a stretcher.
We see footage of Sami Zayn being pushed out on a stretcher during the break.
AJ Styles talks with "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura backstage. Styles admits they have history, and tells him to follow his lead in tonight's tag team match. Nakamura tells him he will be winning the Money In The Bank Ladder Match and turning his house into his playground.
It's time for another Fashion Files. Just when Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) are about to clean out their desk and turn in their badges to Commissioner Shane McMahon, Shane puts them both in singles matches against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) later tonight.
It's time for the WWE Championship celebration with Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh). Jinder Mahal says that the people booed him then for being different from them, but now they boo him for exposing them. He says that Randy Orton is on the decline - just like America - that he is already the greatest WWE Champion of all time, and that nothing will spoil his celebration, as this is about him as he celebrates for his people, for Punjab and for India. He then speaks in Punjabi, and then the celebration caps off with a massive amount of pyro.
We see another vignette of Lana dancing.
Tyler Breeze quickly beats Jey Uso as Jey is on the microphone and Fandango shoots at him with a water gun. Then, Fandango beats Jimmy Uso just as quickly as Jey chases after Breeze and a distracted Jimmy pulls off Breeze's wig, allowing Fandango the same schoolboy pin opportunity as Breeze. After the match, Breezango challenges The Usos to a SmackDown tag team title rematch, and after the referee talks with people in the back, the tag team title rematch is on.
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango).
Commissioner Shane McMahon is met by Natalya backstage, who asks for a shot at the SmackDown Women's Title. Suddenly, James Ellsworth and Carmella show up, and Carmella wants a shot, too. Becky Lynch also shows up wanting a shot, as does Tamina and Charlotte Flair. Shane makes a match for next week, where the five of them will compete in a Fatal 5-Way where the winner faces Naomi for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship at Money In The Bank.
Tonight on 205 Live: Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick in a Street Fight! Kendrick says Tozawa has continuously disrespected him, but tonight is the last time, as tonight's match has no rules and that Tozawa will learn his final lesson.
