By Richard Trionfo on 2018-06-11 23:03:00

We are in Little Rock, Arkansas and your announcers are Michael Cole, Jonathan Coachman, and Corey Graves.

We start off with all eight of the Raw Money in the Bank match participants on ladders.

Kurt Angle makes his way to the stage.

Kurt reminds us that the Money in the Bank PPV is on Sunday.  For the first time, the ladder matches will feature four people from each show.  It is the most grueling match in WWE history.  It will test you but the winner will get a chance to cash in anyplace and anytime for a championship match.

Baron Corbin makes his way to the stage.  He says as the Constable, he represents Stephanie McMahon.  He is here to make sure that Raw goes smoothly.

Kurt says he would love to see the contracts come back to Raw.

Baron says if they do not come back to Raw, Stephanie will be disappointed and he asks if we want Stephanie disappointed.

Alexa says she will fight through the pain and grab the contract. 

Sasha asks what hurts on her.

Alexa says her shoulder and she adds a question mark to it.

Sasha says it didn't look like it was her shoulder.

Ember says after Sunday, Alexa will be sore.

All four women say they will win.

Kurt says that he knows Natalya has been cleared to wrestle, but is she ready for this match.

Natalya says she is ready to grab that contract and secure a title match against the soon to be WWE Raw women's champion Ronda Rousey.

Sasha says Ronda could be the champion, but she will cash in.

Kevin says he wants to talk about something important.  This match is not fair.  Braun is so much taller that he wants the briefcase raised for him. 

Bobby asks if the briefcase should be lowered for him and Kevin likes the idea.

Kevin comments on Baron's new haircut and he tells Baron to do something about this.

Braun says he should do something about Kevin.

Kevin asks Baron to deal with the threats from Braun and Braun says it was a promise.

All four men say they are going to win until the Alexa Emergency Siren goes off.

Alexa says she knows who will win.  It will be her Mixed Match Challenge partner Braun Strowman.

Sasha says it will be her Mixed Match Challenger partner, Finn Balor, who will win.

Finn says he thinks Sasha will win.

Braun says on Sunday someone will be getting these hands.

The announcers run through the other matches for Money in the Bank.

We go to the locker room where Kevin Owens stops by to talk to Finn Balor.  Kevin gives Finn some olives since he doesn't have an olive branch and Finn likes the gluten free crap.

Kevin says they need a plan for the match tonight. 

Finn doesn't like the idea of 'We'.

Kevin says he cannot let this week end the way it did last week.  They are both former Universal Champions and neither got the rematch they deserved.  What if Braun wins and he cashes in and becomes the champion.  He could be holding their title forever.  Kevin says that Finn cannot beat Brock, and he says he can beat Brock but it will be taxing.  Kevin suggests taking out Braun so he does not make it to Sunday.  Maybe it should be Men versus Monster.

Winners:  Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

After the match, Dolph gets on the mic and he says last week's battle royal was a fluke.  They are over it.  Drew says here is your proof.  Exhibit A and Exhibit B.  Dolph says some of you have the guts to question this alliance.  This isn't just hype.  Dolph tells every tag team to take a good look because the show starts and ends right here.  This is your future.  Drew says everyone's future is in their hands.  They are here to save this division and take every other team out.

Roman Reigns is in the back and he is asked about his match against Jinder Mahal and why would Jinder make the challenge six days before their match.  Roman says Jinder is an idiot.  The only reason he is not in the Money in the Bank match is Jinder.  He will not get a chance to cash in against Brock.  Jinder has earned this ass whooping.  It is time for Jinder to get his receipt.

We go to commercial.
