He says that being World Heavyweight Champion gave him an anchor to slow down, and thanks the fans for helping him process all the grief and all the loss, knowing they will help him get through losing his title. He admits he was not supposed to be World Heavyweight Champion, as Seth "Freakin'" Rollins cashed in him, but all of a sudden, opportunity arose, he won number one contendership, and if it he had not become champion, Jey Uso would be here right now. Punk admits he lost last night, but he is still the best in the world, and he proved it even though it was not his night. He then says he will stay ready, as he never knows when another opportunity will fall out of the sky. Suddenly, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up with a black eye. Cody says he did not expect this and that the fans gave Punk the flowers he deserves, but says he feels like a loser right now. Punk says Cody beat a first-ballot hall of famer who was also a friend and mentor, and while beating up someone one hates is easy, beating up a friend is hard. Punk says he is free and shouldered the burden, but last night was not his night.

Sol Ruca tells Liv that she has been watching her and calls her an inspiration over the past decade as well as the top woman in the division.

We see a video package of Brock Lesnar's WWE career.

The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) heads to the ring. Heyman says he had a whole speech prepared, but the beginning of the show threw him off. He says that his favorite part of WrestleMania was expecting the unexpected, and that what happened last night will be in his heart for the rest of his life. He talks about CM Punk kissing everyone's ass and mentions that Brock Lesnar is now in the "now" portion of the WWE into the "forever" portion, as he is done for now and forever will be "the baddest motherfucker on the planet." Heyman then focuses on the now, stating that there is a resurgence in the tag team division thanks to Logan Paul and Austin Theory, then gives Logan Paul the floor. Logan Paul is booed mercilessly as he states that the only reason that The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and LA Knight stole the victory from them at WrestleMania is because of iShowSpeed, who he calls "backstabbing" and "ungrateful." He says that he is sick of streamers coming into WWE and doing what the Superstars do, and says that he hates the outsiders and that nothing that happened at WrestleMania matters. He also says that iShowSpeed left with a piece of his fist in his face, while he and Austin stayed tag team champions. Heyman says that a magnificent favor was done for him by Gunther, and thanks Gunther before telling him that he owes him one and is ready to repay when he is ready. Heyman then introduces Bron Breakker as the man who broke Seth "Freakin'" Rollins in half. Bron Breakker heads to the ring and talks about how he became the leader of The Vision in tonight's arena one year ago today because Rollins was "too weak," and boasts that he enjoyed ruining everything for Rollins at WrestleMania. He hopes that Rollins is watching somewhere, because from here on out, he will be coming after him and attacking him. Suddenly, Rollins shows up from behind and attacks The Vision with a metal folding chair. Theory hits Rollins with a right hand, and the numbers game quickly takes over. All of a sudden, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up for the first time in months and take out Logan Paul and Austin Theory. The Street Profits take their brawl into the crowd, then a busted open Bron Breakker gets back in the ring to go for a spear on Rollins only for Rollins to superkick him and fight back. Rollins goes for The Stomp, but Breakker avoids it and hits the Spear. He tells Rollins that he will ruin everything Rollins has ever done and that the fans will remember him as a shell of what he used to be before hitting Rollins with another Spear.

We hear from JD McDonagh, who says that he and Finn Balor are supposed to be family, but now Finn Balor has changed so much he barely recognizes him. He says that he stood behind Finn Balor and took bullets for him, but Finn Balor cost them gold, and throwing away their friendship was so easy he would do it again. McDonagh then tells Finn Balor that he will step out of his shadow and prove that the Finn Balor he knew and loved is dead.

Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and heads to the ring. Along the way, he meets up with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso), and lets them join in. Roman says he was going to keep it simple and talk about the future, but after seeing his cousins, he decided to handle some family business first. He tells The Usos that he missed having The Usos' full trust, respect and admiration and missed doing business with them, and right now, they are separated and scattered, and they are weak because of it. Roman says that when they come together, nobody can stop them, and it was while they were together that they ran the business for four years straight. He asks The Usos not to serve him, but to stand by him as family. Jimmy Uso says that Roman Reigns will always be his and Jey Uso's Tribal Chiefs and everyone else is "the twos" while they are "the ones." The three of them are about to raise a finger in the air when Jacob Fatu shows up. Roman tells Jacob it has been a long while since he last saw him and that there are only a couple of reasons he would be here. Jacob shows up and makes it clear he needs the World Heavyweight Championship. He also says he does not want to be Tribal Chief, but he wants everything the Tribal Chief has, and he will do anything for his family, even if that means going through Roman. Jacob then states that he is upgrading and levelling up his household at Backlash. Roman says he agrees and wants all of those things for Jacob, too, and has faith that Jacob can beat him. He then asks Jacob if he can handle the burden on being World Heavyweight Champion. He then asks if Jacob can handle the burden of acknowledging him if he loses. Roman tells Jacob that the air at the top is thin and gives Jacob a week to decide, then says he does not think Jacob is ready before he and The Usos leave.

Toni warns Thunder Rosa that if she wants to be a hero or a martyr and rally up the troops, then there is nothing more disgusting than a wrestler who says they are not selfish. She says that this is a business, not a charity, and if Thunder Rosa wants to uplift worker, then she should have stayed a social worker.

Zelina says that the three of them are tired of McIntyre's "rah-rah" speeches and that Drew is looking past Garza towards Money In The Bank. Suddenly, McIntyre is attacked from behind by Andrade, who is soon clocked with a Claymore Kick. Theory and Garza are hesitant to take on McIntyre after that, and McIntyre knocks Andrade out of the ring with another Claymore Kick.

Aleister Black beats Austin Theory to qualify for the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. After the match, Byron Saxton interviews Aleister, who jokes that he may have to cover up all his tattoos in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match before stating that each floor of WWE's corporate office will become his opponents' personal hell.

Before the next match, Charly Caruso interviews "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, who shows no remorse for breaking Sarah Logan's arm before heading to the ring.

"The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler beats Indi Hartwell by referee stoppage after stomping on her right arm much like she did to Sarah Logan last week. As medical staff check on Hartwell, Baszler grabs a ladder, then grabs Hartwell and slams her into the barricade before placing the ladder in front of the steel steps and slamming Hartwell into it. She then traps Hartwell's injured right arm in the ladder and kicks the ladder, hurting it even more.

Nia Jax beats Kairi Sane despite tweaking her left knee during the match.

We hear from Seth Rollins, who admires and respects Drew McIntyre being a fighting champion, as he knows what it is like to be in his shoes and go into the main event of WrestleMania and beat Brock Lesnar in the main event for a championship, unlike most men. He says that they both have a lot in common, and that they garner the respect of their peers and have a deep passion for the industry. Rollins then accepts McIntyre's challenge at Money In The Bank out of duty and necessity, as the fans needs a leader more than ever. Rollins says that he is a proven leader and McIntyre is not, and that he is the one who will sacrifice for the greater good, make the difficult decisions and be the light for the darkness. He says that at Money In The Bank, he will take his title not because he wants to, but because he has to.

We see footage from earlier today of The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) driving around as they chant their own team name and proclaim that they will dominate the tag team division.

Before the next match, MVP says that in his storied career, he has seen a lot of WWE Superstars literally rise and fall in pursuit of the Money In The Bank Briefcase for a championship match contract. He mentions Aleister Black punching his ticket as well as Rey Mysterio taking on Murphy later tonight, then says that right now is his turn and that Apollo Crews is in his way. He says that Apollo Crews is talented, but he is outclassed by him, and he says that he will go on to the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Apollo Crews beats MVP to advance to the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Ruby Riott. Riott says there was never really a Riott Squad to her, and that she had to get double shoulder surgery from carrying Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan on her back and making them look good and threatening. She says that Logan has a broken arm and that Morgan will be lucky if she doesn't break both of hers. She says that Morgan thinks she is all grown up, but she will show her how broken and weak she is without her.

Liv Morgan beats Ruby Riott.

We see Bobby Lashley flip a tractor tire, then says any world class athlete can flip the tire before asking who can flip the even bigger one behind him.

Before the next match, "D-Man" Dan Parker admits "Uptown" Andy Brown is a good wrestler but could use work on his promo skills, and says that Brown is "a product of the American education system" like all the fans and that Americans are some of the stupidest people on the planet. He says that he is born great because he is Canadian, and that while Andy Brown will be a good champion and that good is "good enough" for America, Championship Wrestling From Hollywood needs a champion who is great like him.

"Uptown" Andy Brown retains the CWFH Heritage Championship. During the match, Howdy Price shows up to get a closer look at the match.

The show ends with Muck Sticky - who is performing at Memphis In May - bringing brownies in place of a cake.
