Opening Credits.
Commentary: With another packed show tonight, in the Main Event, Edge returning from injury takes on The Monster Abyss in a Money in the Bank Qualifier, Edge is aiming for back to back victories in Money in the Bank, while taking the record for most cash in's with 3. However he faces an uphill struggle tonight, due to the injury inflicted on him by Cody Rhodes just 2 weeks ago.
Talking of injuries, despite the backstage attack Melina suffered last week, she will be in action tonight, with a rematch with Nikki Bella for the Diva's Championship she lost last week. An attack that seemingly was instigated by Brie Bella.
But we open the show with the WWE Champion, The Miz taking on the United States Number 1 Contender Wade Barrett.
The Miz v Wade Barrett
Mid Match: Cody Rhodes came down to ringside distracting The Miz
Winner: Wade Barrett via Pinfall.
Post Match: Cody Rhodes once again launches a beatdown on The Miz ending with a Title shot to Miz' skull
Backstage: Brie Bella approaches Nikki, she informs Nikki that the Doctor she has been seeing has informed her she's progressing well, so much so that she will be able to accompany Nikki to the ring tonight for her Title defence.
However Nikki is unsure due to the circumstances around Melina's attack last week.
Brie claims she had nothing to do with it, claiming Melina was already on the ground when she arrived.
Nikki points out that she thought Brie was getting treatment, that it was only later that night that she found out Brie was at the arena......................
Brie tells Nikki, he doctor let her leave early to celebrate Nikki's Title win, but when she found Melina, she knew she would get the blame and just left instead..........she promises she was fully aware of her actions.........she was NOT responsible.
However Nikki still feels that so there is no controversy, she go to the ring alone tonight.
Clearly a heartwrenching decision by Nikki, but will it be the right decision?
Backstage Interview_Renee Young with Melina....................Why after being unconscious backstage last week has Melina chosen to invoke her rematch clause so quickly, could she regret this decision.
Melina claims that she never saw who attacked her, but after seeing the footage later, she knows it was Brie..........and then co-incidentally Nikki found her, but had no knowledge of Brie being at the arena. She claims these blackouts that Brie has been claiming is nonsense and Nikki knows it, it's all a ploy to first get the Diva's Championship, then take Melina out to prevent the rematch, However tey failed on the second part, she's taking her rematch, and taking her Title back................tonight.
Renee is about to pass back to commentary, when she hears a commotion a little down the corridor, which the camera's rush to cover..........
where Bobby Roode and A J Styles are having a full on brawl..............
which eventually security manage to pull apart.......
GM Office: Triple H and Stephanie discuss Ryback and his nerve to confront Triple H last week...................and then Ryback being awarded a DQ victory last week because Barrett got involved, a match that Triple H claims he had in total control until that point.
Stephanie tells him to not worry about it, Ryback DIDN'T beat him last week, they have bigger things to think about, such as getting Triple H a WWE Title match, which starting next week Stephanie will put in motion.
Parking Lot: After a 2 week Suspension instigated by Stephanie........John Cena arrives at the arena.
Next up Triple Threat action between the 3 Raw Women that have qualified for Money in the Bank..............this is an opportunity to gain a psychological advantage.....
Mia Yim v Lita v Velvet Sky
Mid Match: Angelina Love comes down to assist Velvet Sky....
Winner: Mia Yim via Pinfall over Velvet Sky.
Backstage: Stephanie confronts Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara backstage, she informs them that their friend Suicide crossed the line with his actions on Friday's Smackdown.....................as a result his victim X-Pac has demanded that next week on Smackdown, Suicide finds a partner to take on x-Pac and a partner of his choosing in an Elimination Tables Match.
In ring Promo: Ryback gas entered the ring, there are just 2 weeks to go until Ryback defends the United States Title against Wade Barrett, and while Barrett chose the stipulation of No DQ, Ryback is pleased, because after the weeks of torment including their time together as part of The Nexus, the time for retribution is near......................the hunger is there, and if Barrett wants to fuel him even more..................FEED ME MORE!!!
Backstage: Angelina Love and Velvet Sky talk about how their plan failed earlier in the match, after Lita & Mia teamed up to nullify them...........and that at Money in the Bank, The Beautiful People need to win the contract.
Velvet claims she WILL win the contract, cash in and become Champion, but right now, there's someone that Angelina needs to meet.................they then leave together............
Epico & Primo v Doug Williams & Nick Aldis
Winners: British Invasion via Pinfall by Doug Williams on Epico.
Backstage Interview: How does Barrett feel about Ryback's apparent excitement of going into a match that Barrett got to name the stipulation?
Barrett claims that Ryback is putting on bravado, he worked with him for 6 months with The Nexus, Ryback was weak then, he's still weak now, Barrett will walk out with the United States Title in 12 days time, and then considering he beat the WWE Champion earlier, he may just go onto become a dual Champion, adding the WWE Title to his collection.
(c) Nikki Bella v Melina
Diva's Championship
Winner and STILL Diva's Champion: Nikki Bella via Pinfall.
Post Match: Nikki celebrates as Melina slipped away defeated..............and then Brie turned up to celebrate with her sister........
GM Office: John Cena meets with Stephanie, he was surprised to hear that his suspension was lifted by Stephanie, and has to wonder why?
Stephanie doesn't want to talk about the Payback PPV or 2 weeks ago, she wants to talk about the future, the fact that in 12 days the Money in the Bank PPV takes place, and there's one spot left on the Raw side to fill............and next week she wants John Cena in a match, because despite her disdain for him, she has to admit Raw is better with John Cena.........................but she has a warning for Cena, he lost at Payback which means he's not on Triple H's level................so stay out of his business.
And now it's time for the Main Event, with Edge returning to action in a Money in the Bank Qualifier against The Monster Abyss...........
Edge v Abyss w/ James Mitchell
Money in the Bank Qualifier
Mid Match: Bobby Lashley came out of the entranceway, pausing at the top of the ramp.....................catching the eye of Abyss, Abyss exploded in rage, leaving the ring and heading up the ramp.....................James Mitchell had to hold Abyss back to prevent any contact due to the no contact clause with Lashley......................all the while, the referee was counting.............
Winner: Edge via Countout.
Post Match: Realising that Abyss had just been counted out, Lashley left, retaliation for Abyss costing him last week, Abyss meanwhile stormed back to the ring in a destructive rage..................Edge and the referee wisely vacated the ring................Mitchell just stood with the sinister look.
