Charlotte vs ???
The SmackDown Women's Champion looked in good spirits to open the show, but she was not a fan of the woman who answered her open challenge, the returning Bayley! We hadn't seen the Hugster since her loss to Asuka at Fastlane, but she was in top form in her return to the ring. She out-wrestled Charlotte, something we haven't seen many do, including hitting an impressive corner dropkick. Bayley countered a Spear from the Queen into a Bayley to Belly to score the huge win.
Bayley took the time to celebrate with her fans, when she was attacked by Nia Jax. Jax was apparently not a big fan of Bayley, as kept the assault going before being dragged away by security.
Winner: Bayley
Jack Swagger vs Tye Dillinger- Money in the Bank Qualification Match
Tye Dillinger is on the roll of his career, after finally ending his rivalry with the Social Outcasts last week. Although Jack Swagger did his best to use his amateur wrestling skills, he couldn't slow the Perfect Ten down. Dillinger connected with a big Perfect 10 facebuster for a two, then hit a superplex and a Tye Breaker for the win.
Winner: Tye Dillinger
John Cena vs Big Show- Money in the Bank Qualification Match
The Face That Runs the Place was in for the fight of his life as he took on the giant known as the Big Show. This was a slugfest, as both Cena and Big Show exchanged with some of their best shots. The World's Largest Athlete kicked out of the Attitude Adjustmest, but it was Cena's kick-out of the WMD that was perhaps more impressive. In the end, Big Show whiffed on a second KO Punch, allowing Cena to connect with another AA and lock in the STF to get the submission victory.
Winner: John Cena
The Wyatt Family vs Roman Reigns and Cesaro
This was an excellent tag team encounter, a true back and forth fight between two great teams. All four men had moments to shine, as Harper and Wyatt brawled with Cesaro and Reigns. There were near falls galore, and tons of big moves. It was Cesaro and Roman Reigns, this unlikely tag team, that looked the best, as their tag team offense was absolutely crisp. A Giant Swing/Dropkick combo laid Luke Harper out, as the Swiss Superman looked to pick up the win. This great match was then ruined by the interference of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. The Club, unhappy about their loss at Backlash, took out Reigns behind the official's back, putting him through the barricade. A distracted Cesaro allowed Harper to make the tag, and Bray connected with Sister Abigail to take Cesaro out.
Winners: The Wyatt Family
