Seth Rollins said he will have absolute power and total control over the entire industry when he wins the Money in the Bank tomorrow and there is nobody that can stop him. This brought out Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and JC Mateo. Solo said he is going to win Money in the Bank. Rollins told Solo his family would rather stab him in the back than have his back. He is threatened a little bit by one Fatu in this ring, but it’s not him. Breakker and Jacob had a staredown before Rollins gave his team the signal to leave the ring. Jimmy Uso came in and attacked Solo, Jacob and Mateo from behind.

Backstage, Cody Rhodes and Jimmy Uso asked Jey Uso if he is okay. Jey said the only thing we got to worry about is what John Cena and Logan Paul have to say tonight.

LA Knight said he did what he had to do to qualify for Money in the Bank.

Rollins then tossed Black out of the ring. Reed gave Knight a Senton splash, followed immediately by a spear from Breakker.

Backstage, Jade Cargill said she will become Queen of the Ring and go on to SummerSlam to win the championship. As she was asked where she stands with Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair. Flair told her that salt and sugar look the same, so choose your friends wisely or don’t have any at all. Charlotte said there is only one queen in the WWE. Tiffany Stratton walked by and told them both good luck with that.
Santos Escobar told Angel and Berto that they will beat Psycho Clown, Pagano, and Dr. Wagner Jr at WWE Worlds Collide.

He said he will beat El Hijo del Vikingo at WWE Worlds Collide to become the AAA Mega Championship. Andrade and Penta showed up and Gable argued with them. Pearce told Andrade and Penta they can settle this tonight against the Creeds Brothers.
Tiffany Stratton said last year she won Money in the Bank. This year whoever wins it, their world will be evolving around me. Rhea Ripley said she never won Money in the Bank because she didn’t have to. She does know what it’s like to be the champion, and she misses that.

Rhodes hyped his upcoming tag match at Money in the Bank alongside Jey Uso against John Cena and Logan Paul, with Jey promising a “Yeetdown.” Just as Cena was being introduced, Logan blindsided Jey. Chaos erupted as Cody attempted a Cross Rhodes on Logan, but Cena stunned him with a belt shot.
