Enzo Amore vs Big Cass- Money in the Bank Qualification Match
They may be tag team partners, but neither Enzo or Cass could afford to let personal feelings get in the way of this huge opportunity. Although many would've thought Enzo would get demolished in this match, it was actually quite competitive, as the Jordan of Jargon used his speed to stay in it. It wasn't enough, as the power of Big Cass was simply too much, and Amore was put away with an East River Crossing.
Afterward, Big Cass celebrated the biggest win of his career, before helping Enzo back to his feet. The two men shook hands, and Enzo wished Cass luck at Money in the Bank.
Winner: Big Cass
Fandango vs Tyler Breeze- Money in the Bank Qualification Match
You could tell that both Fandango and Tyler Breeze felt quite nervous about this match, as neither man has been able to stay in the title picture on their own accord. Money in the Bank might be their only shot, and neither was willing to back down, putting on a tense, back and forth affair. Several times, Fandango came close to putting the match away, hitting big move after big move. Nothing worked, so he threw his morals out the window, trying to cheat to get the win. Even that didn't work, and the window of opportunity was now open. However, Prince Pretty missed on the Super Model Kick, and Fandango capitalized with a Falcon Arrow and the Last Dance leg drop.
Winner: Fandango
Sami Zayn vs Randy Orton
After falling prey to a RKO at Backlash, Sami Zayn was determined not to let a second chance to punish Randy Orton pass him by. The story of this match was whether or not Zayn was willing to be as nasty and as brutal as The Viper has been, in order to get the win. Early on, the answer was no. Sami wrestled a straight up match, and although he had some moments, he wasn't really in control of the match. Any time Orton got a hold of the match, he ground things to a halt, and quickly opened him up. Perhaps it was the taste of blood that finally got to him, but the Underdog from the Underground began to fight like he never had before. He embraced his more vicious side, even more so after Orton survived a Helluva Kick. He took the Intercontinental Champion to the outside, delivering a second big boot to Orton's head, right off the ring post. The Apex Predator still continued to fight, though it seemed to be a losing battle. His final shot was a RKO, that couldn't quite get the job done, and he finally was finished after Sami locked in the Koji Clutch to end an incredible match.
Winner: Sami Zayn
AJ Styles vs Bray Wyatt
This was a big match, as two faction leaders squared off in our main event. AJ Styles was determined to prove once more just how great he is, but someone else had a different idea. Triple H is back! The Game attacked the Phenomenal One during his entrance, brutalizing him with rights and lefts while the crowd cheered him on. We hadn't seen the Game since March, and he was ready for revenge against the man that took him out of action. Styles seemed to be about to receive some retribution in the form of a Pedigree, but security intervened. They separated the two men, allowing Styles to escape to the back as SmackDown Live went off the air.
