Kofi Kingston shows up to start tonight's show. After a video package of Dolph Ziggler's attack on him from last week, Kofi talks about Kevin Owens re-injuring Big E's as well as Ziggler's attack on him. He says that Ziggler tried to finish him, but he did not finish the job for he is still here, and when the time is right, he will address Ziggler. As for tonight, tonight is the night that Brock Lesnar chooses his opponent and he considers himself to be a fighting champion and wants to be one of the best WWE Champions of all time. To do that, he must beat Lesnar. He asks Brock Lesnar to cash in his Money In The Bank contract on him tonight, then Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins admits he is not Lesnar, but he likes where Kofi's head is at and that he wants to know who Lesnar will cash in on, too. He says Lesnar is the only thing missing right now, and demands that Lesnar show up to make his decision. Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up, and the music suddenly changes to hip-hop music. Lesnar now has a new Money In The Bank briefcase with two sub-woofers on the back, and he is also wearing a hoodie with the words "Brock Party" on it. Lesnar does the Running Man as he makes his way to the ring, Kofi's theme plays, then Rollins' theme plays, and all the while, Lesnar and Rollins pretend to get down to the music. Rollins leaves, but Kofi stays in the ring. Heyman says it is just like Rollins to "pee on everybody's parade," and that Lesnar was going to announce who he was going to cash in against when Rollins ruined his and Lesnar's "Brock Party." He tells Kofi to blame Rollins for Lesnar not doing it, then he and Lesnar leave. As Heyman and Lesnar leave, Kofi is attacked from behind by Dolph Ziggler again, and Ziggler hits Kofi with a Zig Zag on the ramp. Ziggler grabs a steel chair, but Xavier Woods shows up and fights Ziggler, who quickly flees through the crowd.
After the commercial break, three referees are helping Kofi Kingston to the back when Dolph Ziggler attacks Kofi again. Xavier Woods keeps Ziggler at bay and takes their brawl to the ring. Woods and Ziggler's brawl soon makes its way into the crowd for a little while before Woods sends Ziggler back over the guardrail, but Ziggler gets the upper hand after kicking Woods in the knee. Ziggler then grabs a steel chair and smashes it into Woods' back before wrapping it around his head. Kofi returns with a steel chair of his own, and Ziggler retreats through the crowd.
After another commercial break, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are still in the ring. Dolph Ziggler shows up yet again and says he thought he knew Kofi, but Kofi has been wasting all his time on Brock Lesnar when he should have been worried about him. He tells Kofi to celebrate like he has never celebrated before for the next eleven days, for he is the best WWE Champion that he can remember. However, every time he sees Kofi with the title, it reminds him that it should have been him. Ziggler says he has admired Kofi, and that Kofi has always had two people watching his back. He says he knew of Kofi's potential early on and knew he could be champion, then asks what will happen to Kofi and his fans when he takes the title from him. He admits it took a little longer than he wanted it to, and says that it should have been him with the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. Ziggler then says that at Super Showdown, it will be him.
Everyone is having a Memorial Day block party backstage. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) wish Natalya a happy birthday, then thank everyone for showing up to the party.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Shane McMahon, who says that he will beat Roman Reigns at Super Showdown like he will beat his opponent tonight. He then heads to the ring with Drew McIntyre.
Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre are in the ring. He says that he and Roman Reigns' families have been around for generation and that the difference between the two families boils down to respect. He says that this is the only way to explain Roman Reigns hitting his father WWE Chairman Vince McMahon with a Superman Punch, and while the McMahon family exemplifies respect, Roman's family exemplifies viciousness. He namedrops members of Roman's family including Afa and Sifa, The Wild Samoans, and knows them better than Roman himself, all the way down to their accomplishments and their mistakes. He chooses not to disparage The Wild Samoans, for it is not in his nature, and that Vince was always there to clean up after The Wild Samoans' mistakes. Shane says he is here representing the McMahon family, and asks who in "the Samoan dynasty" will face him right now.
Shane McMahon beats Lance Anoa'i by submission following a beating to Lance from Drew McIntyre before the bell rings. After the match, Drew hits Lance with a knife edge chop before Shane puts Lance in his triangle hold again and mocks him, saying the worst mistake Sika ever made was spawning Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns shows up and Superman Punches Drew McIntyre before yanking Shane out of the crowd. Shane fights him off, but he ends up eating a Superman Punch. McIntyre saves him from a Spear, then Roman checks on Lance. Backstage, Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon are seen leaving the arena.
Referee John Cone is seen in the ring. Heyman introduces Lesnar, and announces that it is time for Lesnar to inform one champion that he will be cashing in on them. Before he can say much else, Seth Rollins shows up and says that the WWE Universal Championship is his life and that Lesnar makes a mockery out of it because he is a joke. He tells Lesnar that he beat him at WrestleMania and that he can do it again tonight. He says Lesnar used to be the most feared man in combat sports history, but now Lesnar is a coward. He tells Lesnar that if he wants a chance to prove him wrong, all he has to do is cash in on him. Heyman reads from the Money In The Bank contract, but Lesnar stops him and slaps him for not telling him he has a year to cash in. Lesnar tells Rollins he has a whole year to decide, and simply tells Rollins "Screw you." After Heyman and Lesnar leave, Carmella and R-Truth crawl into the ring with other Superstars chasing after them. R-Truth and Carmella flee through the crowd again.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, who is no longer medically cleared following a pop in his lower back following Money In The Bank. He wanted to compete in tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match for another opportunity at the Universal Championship, but it will not happen tonight. Before he can say more about how long he will be out, he is suddenly attacked by Baron Corbin, who replaces him in the match.
Becky Lynch and Nikki Cross beat The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce). After the match, Lacey Evans shows up, walks down the ramp, turns around and heads towards the back.
Back at The Usos' (Jimmy and Jey Uso) block party, Naomi and Tamina have a confrontation, but it ends up becoming a family reunion. The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) then show up and thanks The Usos for showing some decency and class for inviting them to the block party. The Usos say they did not invite them, but Naomi says they invited them and demands that both teams squash their beef at the block party.
Ricochet beats Cesaro.
It is announced that Rey Mysterio will have to vacate the WWE United States Championship next week due to being unable to defend it due to injury. Samoa Joe shows up and says that he could not help but overhear, and says he will be there and waiting to take back what is rightfully his.

Baron Corbin beats The Miz, Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match to become the #1 contender for the WWE Universal Championship after Strowman and Lashley fight their way through the crowd and into the back and Corbin hits Miz with End of Days.
The beanbag competition between The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) heats up at the block party, and after some cheating by The Revival, R-Truth shows up and says he isn't here. People then start trying to take the 24/7 Championship from him, starting a brawl as a result.
On this week's Firefly Fun House, Bray Wyatt asks everyone if they enjoyed his secret, which he calls "The Fiend," and says that The Fiend is here to protect everyone. He says that people say and do horrible things, and that he finds it hard to be brave and courageous until "The Fiend" show up, at which point he can be anything he wants to be. Abby says that Bray Wyatt doesn't want anybody to see how much of a sicko he is, and after Abby asks if Bray thinks he is a doctor, Bray dressed up as a doctor and diagnoses Abby with being a bully. Abby says she does not want to be stuck in this limbo anymore, and this leads to Bray Wyatt playing Limbo by doing his trademark spider walk to close out the segment. The two kids holding the limbo stick are not happy.
Corey Graves hosts the inaugural edition of "The Electric Chair" with special guest Sami Zayn. In this segment, the fans provide the questions, and no question is off limit no matter how controversial they are. A fan asks when Sami's retirement is, and Sami responds by asking the fan if his parents are related. Another fan asks Sami if he misses teaming with Becky Lynch. Sami asks the fan where her parents are. Another fan asks Sami how it felt to be destroyed by Braun Strowman, and Sami says he would rather walk up to him and smack him than answer that question, but he would get sued for it because this is America. He also says he would put the fan in life-crippling debt because American health care sucks. Sami says that the fans could have answered better questions, and another fan asks why he hasn't won the Universal Championship yet. Sami says he could win it any time he wants, but he would rather hold the fans accountable for their behavior. After Sami says he'll even answer questions about AEW (which elicits a response from the crowd), Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins chases Sami out of the ring, then tosses the electric chair that is in the ring out before the next match.
Seth Rollins beats Sami Zayn.
