Ricochet upset AJ Styles to become the first man to book a place in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match on 18 July.

Asuka & Naomi def. Eva Marie & Doudrop – Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

Eva Marie announced her great equaliser as Doudrop ahead of their Money in the Bank Qualifying Match. Doudrop was forced to do most of the heavy lifting early, but Eva Marie attempted to tag her way in to steal the glory with Naomi down in the squared circle. After The Glow kicked out, Marie looked for a panicked tag, but Doudrop backed away from her partner, which allowed Naomi to grab the roll-up victory.

John Morrison def. Randy Orton – Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

It was a night for upsets as John Morrison pulled a fast one on Randy Orton. Things looked bleak for Johnny Drip Drip after Orton smashed him through the announce table. However, as the Viper stalked his prey, chaos erupted after a Drip Stick attack from his injured partner, the Miz, and Riddle’s ride into ringside allowed Morrison to hit a Starship Pain for another stunning upset.

Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross def. Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax – Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

Nikki Cross embodied an entirely new spirit on the red brand and walked back into the twisted world of her old friend Alexa Bliss in hopes of defeating Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax for Money in the Bank opportunities. The gaze of Bliss set Reginald into a trance during the match, and a near slap of The Irresistible Force caused the pair to leave The Queen of Spades behind. Left to fend for herself, Cross sprang into action and rolled up Baszler for the win.

Riddle def. Drew McIntyre – Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

The battle scars from his trip to Hell were still evident on Drew McIntyre, but The Scottish Warrior still attempted to persevere past Riddle to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. McIntyre valiantly powered through the pain, but the emergence of The Viper on the ramp seemed to reinvigorate The Original Bro, who continued to kick out from an all-out assault. After a seemingly endless series of crushing blows, Riddle rolled up McIntyre and held on for the upset.

Bobby Lashley def. Xavier Woods – Hell in a Cell Match

Bobby Lashley entered Hell in a Cell for the second time in 24 hours in an attempt to silence Xavier Woods and send a message to his WWE Money in the Bank opponent. The All Mighty Champion flexed his muscles with displays of brute strength, but Woods battled back by bludgeoning his opponent with a steel chair, Kendo stick and an elbow drop through a table. When it appeared the WWE Champion may have run out of steam, Lashley hit one crushing Spear on Woods and held onto the Hurt Lock long after MVP had chained closed the doors of the steel structure.
