    • Paul spoke briefly about what he would do if he wins the briefcase tomorrow before he was interrupted by LA Knight, who received a much more positive response. 
    • Knight said the odds favored him at Money in the Bank because he’s a megastar. Paul told Knight that he was only supposed to be a “mega manager” in WWE.

    • Butch ran out and attacked Paul right away and then everyone started brawling and the show went to commercial. 
  • Butch defeated Santos Escobar and LA Knight in a triple threat match
    • Butch pinned Escobar with The Bitter End.

    • Usos came out and said when Roman loses tomorrow he won’t be Tribal Chief anymore. They then implied that perhaps Sikoa could be the new Tribal Chief. 
    • Things eventually broke down and the two teams brawled to end the show.
