Money In The Bank 2018 - The LIVE Results



Backstage, Kevin Owens shows up with a garbage bag, and tells Charly Caruso that his back has been acting up since facing Braun Strowman last week and feels like a fool. He feels everyone should have worked together against Braun Strowman, but nobody listened to him. Suddenly, somebody shows up and hands Owens two gallons of pancake syrup. When Charly asks if Owens has pancakes in the bag, he says no, then walks off. Charly then gets some news from someone off-screen, but she does not share it with the viewers.

Daniel Bryan fields some questions from social media. His game plan against Big Cass is the same as everyone else: making him tap out. He says being General Manager of SmackDown Live was nice, but he could not be in the ring doing some he enjoyed, and it motivated him to work harder to get back into the ring. He also says that besides submission skills, he has the legs, lungs and heart advantage over Big Cass, which he says will allow him to out-match and out-fight Big Cass.

Charly Caruso interviews Seth Rollins, who is playing Elias's now-broken custom made guitar. After joking that John Mayer gave him the guitar, he says that Elias is stiff competition, and while he is talented, he has a mean streak. He says that Elias' greatest hits wouldn't make a dent against his B-sides, and says that the Intercontinental title is his title and that he fights for it every night. Seth says tonight will be no different and that he will walk out WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Kevin Owens interrupts Samoa Joe on the kick-off panel, asking him to work together against Braun Strowman. Joe says he will never trust Owens, and tells him to buzz off.

The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).

Backstage, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) go over their plan for who is in the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match when Kevin Owens shows up. Kevin Owens empties the bag full of pancakes on a nearby table and also delivers the two gallons of syrup, then asks The New Day to help take out Braun Strowman. The New Day say they are not cheaters, and ask him to talk it out with some pancakes. When Owens says that he doesn't like Pancakes or The New Day's cereal, they tell him to get out. Owens then says he hates breakfast food, Chicago, Illinois and The New Day, and says IHOP was right to change their name to IHOB. Big E then tricks Owens to come back so he can take the syrup, then Owens leaves.

Bobby Lashley beats Sami Zayn after three vertical suplexes.

Before the next match, Elias says he will take the Intercontinental title in return for Seth Rollins taking a piece of his soul, and calls him a stepping stone to the future. He tells Rollins to lay down so he can walk on by. Elias considers performing, but then decides that Chicago, Illinois is not worth it.

Backstage, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle and SmackDown Live General Manager Paige argue over whose brand will win the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match and talk about the dual-branded pay-per-views until Raw Constable Baron Corbin shows up. Corbin says tonight is about bringing both contracts back to Raw, then Paige reminds him of how he lost his contract last year. Corbin simply leaves after telling Angle to get it done for Raw.

Sunil Sign is in a wheelchair and wearing a neck brace as he introduces Jinder Mahal for the next match.

Roman Reigns beats Jinder Mahal. During the match, Sunil Singh reveals that he is not even hurt when he gets out of the wheelchair and pushes Roman Reigns into the ring post on the outside behind the referee's back. He almost does it again later in the match, but he and Jinder both get Superman Punched before Sunil gets Speared. Afterwards, Roman gets back in the ring and is almost rolled up in an inside cradle by Jinder, and Roman kicks out and hits the Spear for the win.



Special Olympics powerlifter Katie Millar and her mother Judy are in the front row.

Carmella retains the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Asuka after Asuka is distracted by another person covered in robes and wearing a mask like Asuka's. That person unmasks to reveal that they are James Ellsworth, who hasn't been seen in months.
