We cut to the arena and Jimmy Uso is trying to get into Roman’s office but Paul Heyman stops him. Heyman says Roman is working on something and Jimmy deserves his full attention and he will get it tonight as Jimmy walks away.

Roman Reigns walks down to the ring. He says lots of people didn’t like that he wasn’t there last week but there were a few things that he didn’t like last week too. He said Edge lied by saying that Roman feared him and at WrestleMania, for 10 seconds or maybe 20 seconds, there might have been a bit of doubt or fear. But that propelled him and he ended up winning. And the only reason Edge was able to get to him a few weeks ago was because Roman wasn’t even thinking about him. He was concentrated on his family.

Reigns says but since they are talking about family and out comes Jimmy Uso to the ring. Jimmy asks him why he thinks he got in Edge’s face last week, if it wasn’t for him but for them. But he didn’t see Roman last week, he must have been on vacation. Roman says he didn’t tell him to make decisions for them and if anyone earned a vacation it’s him but he doesn’t take vacations. Roman says he was busy doing what Jimmy couldn’t do, he was busy doing his job too.

Out comes Jey Uso to the ring. Jey says he is back and not for anyone of them but for all of them. He tells Roman that his right hand man is back. And as for Jimmy, he always has his back, even through these hard times right now, to get back to doing what they do and that is to become the seven time WWE Tag Team Champions. They both hug as Roman laughs.

Roman says he has been saying it all along. That’s all he ever wanted. He says seven time tag team Champions, Universal Champion for however long he wants to be. And the way they do it is together, on the same page, all of them working together and no one can touch them if they do it his way. Both Jimmy and Jey hug Roman in the middle of the ring.

Baron Corbin is backstage and in comes Kayla. She asks him about how history with Nakamura as Corbin says he has to win tonight. He lost his money, his crown, his car, even payments on his house. He has to win, he needs to win and he wants to win. He says he won the Money in the Bank before and he will do it again.

Sonya makes her way down to the ring. She says that Bayley has an injury and will be out for at least nine months and she will not be able to compete for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank. However, Bayley did have words to the WWE Universe. We see a clip of a recorded video by Bayley. She says you wanted to see the longest reigning Women’s Champion in WWE history take back her title.

Bayley says but now she is hurt and they don’t care that she is hurt. That she did this to get better for Money in the Bank, that she did this for everyone and this is all their fault. And who ever replaces her is not as good as her.

Sonya says Bianca Belair will no longer defend her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank but instead will defend it next week in Texas in front of an audience. And her opponent will be a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and two time Money in the Bank winner, Carmella.

And as she says that, out comes Carmella to the ring. Carmella says she gets that everyone is mad, she is hot and they are not. She thanks Sonya for the long overdue honor but once more, Sonya made a mistake. In addition to being a two time Money in the Bank winner, she is also the hottest woman in WWE.

Out comes Liv Morgan who says she doesn’t understand. Sonya appoints Carmella at Money in the Bank and now she is appointed as Bayley’s replacement. Liv says she cannot just appoint Carmella as Carmella cuts her off. Liv gets in Sonya’s face as Sonya says enough. She was about to announce Carmella’s replacement for Money in the Bank and that is Liv. And she has a few seconds to get out of her face before she changes her mind.

Liv tells Carmella she hopes she wins next week because when she wins Money in the Bank, she will cash in on her. Out comes Bianca Belair to the ring. Bianca says she will gladly accept Carmella as her appoint. She doesn’t know if Bayley’s injury is real, if it’s not, it’s a new low for her. And if it is, she respects her competitive skills. And she will see Carmella next week.

Paul Heyman tells Roman that they may have a problem and that is Edge. He says Edge intends on calling him out to the ring tonight. Heyman apologizes and says that Edge also questioned his manhood.

Tony Storm will be joining SmackDown.
