Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
After warring throughout the match, issues between The Miz and Jon Moxley of Raw defined the finish. Moxley initially laid out Miz with a knee trembler, but as he scaled the ladder, Miz regained his bearings long enough to grab Moxley's leg, preventing him from climbing high enough to grab the briefcase. As Moxley tried to fight Miz off, Bobby Roode snuck up the other side of the ladder. Before Moxley or Miz could react, Roode unhooked the briefcase and became Mr. Money in the Bank!
Winner: Bobby Roode
Ruby Riott(c) vs Toni Storm- Raw Women's Championship Match
With one match against each other already, Riott and Storm had no need for a feeling out process in this championship match, going all out from the opening bell. Both women went at it with vicious strikes, and it became clear that this match would be over quickly. After Storm blasted Riott with a running knee, the champion rolled to the outside, looking to catch her breath. Storm was taking no prisoners, and took a running start, leaping over the ropes for a big plancha! But the challenger found nothing but the hard ring mat, as Liv Morgan pulled her leader to safety. Riott took the opportunity to powerbomb Storm onto the outside, a stiff looking spot, before rolling the challenger back in for a pinfall. But with all the fighting spirit she could muster, Toni Storm kicked out at two! This earned a lot of respect from the Hartford crowd, but Storm was still hurt, and Riott recovered from her shock to hit the Riott Kick for the three count.
Winner and still Raw Women's Champion: Ruby Riott
Sami Zayn(c) vs Daniel Bryan vs John Cena- WWE Championship Match
This triple threat match was full of action, as three of SmackDown's best duked it out. Zayn and Cena would have a bit of a rivalry early on, as Zayn hit Cena with a Tornado DDT on the floor and Cena responded with an F-U later in the ring for a near fall. Bryan battered both Cena and Zayn with Yes! Kicks, but frequently had his finishing moves countered, leaving the "American Dragon" no closer to becoming a two-time WWE Champion. But Bryan would have his chance after Cena took out Zayn with a powerbomb, and Bryan was able to lock Cena into the Cattle Mutilation! As Hartford desperately screamed for Cena to tap, Zayn made the save, breaking up the hold. Zayn jettisoned Bryan from the ring, and then locked Cena in the Koji Clutch! Once again, John Cena was in massive trouble, as the "Doctor of Thuganomics" was so close to tapping. But now Bryan saved the match, flooring Zayn with a roundhouse kick. Bryan led Hartford in resounding Yes! chants, before delivering the Busaiku Knee to Cena! But as Bryan went for the cover, he was blasted from behind by a steel chair courtesy of a desperate Sami Zayn, who got the pinfall himself to retain his title.
Winner and still WWE Champion: Sami Zayn
Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Aleister Black- Universal Championship Match
After three matches against the "King of Strong Style", Aleister Black knew what kind of fight he was in for here tonight. Black was on the front foot throughout, confident and emphatic in everything he did. It was only by the narrowest of margins that Shinsuke Nakamura kept his title reign intact, surviving one Black Mass after forcing a rope break, and only just kicking out of a second one a few minutes later. With seemingly no way to win, Nakamura just tried to get himself counted out, but was stopped by Goldberg, who demanded Nakamura re-enter the ring or his title would be handed over to Black. Now with nowhere to run, Nakamura needed a new gameplan. He countered a third Black mass, and took his chance. Off the top rope, Nakamura hit Black with a spinning back heel kick! An incredible risk taken by the champion, but it connected, and sent Black rolling out to the floor. Nakamura dropped Black on the outside with a vicious reverse DDT, and suddenly the champion was in control. It seemed like Nakamura had pulled a rabbit from the hat, as he connected with the Kinshasa! 1..................2...............but Black kicked out! An incensed and frustrated Nakamura lifted his prey to the top rope, looking for an avalanche landslide. But Black countered into a sunset flip powerbomb! A big bicycle knee strike from Aleister Black put Nakamura into a daze. Black slit his throat, and delivered another knee strike! Slowly, soaking in the moment, Black lifted Nakamura up with his boot.................and hit a third Black Mass! 1...................2...................3!
Winner and the NEW Universal Champion: Aleister Black
Post-Match
Finally, one year after losing his title, Aleister Black was champion once more. "The Dutch Destroyer" lifted the gold in the air with a sense of pride, showcasing his new prize for all to see. Remembering what happened last year, Black kept an eye out the entire time, making sure there was no hint of Bobby Roode or his briefcase, but there would be no cash-in tonight. Aleister Black is the face of Raw once more!
