Matt Riddle looked to book another Money in the Bank appearance as he pulled out all the stops against The Judgment Day’s Damian Priest. Early on, The Original Bro locked on the Kimura, but Priest was able to power out.

Riddle took to the sky to ground the powerful Archer of Infamy, hitting a beautiful Floating Bro on Priest on the outside of the ring.

Riddle continued to use his submission expertise, slapping on a triangle hold and using the ring ropes as leverage. Priest kept fighting out, however, hitting a headlock driver to quell Riddle. 

Riddle almost had Priest’s number after a huge fisherman’s superplex, but Priest would not go down. As Riddle tried to hit the Floating Bro, Priest moved out of the way. Riddle once again went to the top rope, but Priest caught him with the Razor’s Edge to cap off a big win over The Original Bro.

Kevin Owens’ anger earlier in the evening turned this non-title matchup into a tag team title defense.

Intercontinental Champion Gunther looked to add to his already impressive trophy case, and he and his associate Ludwig Kaiser were poised at the start.

KO and Sami Zayn were able to stand the initial Imperium onslaught, with KO hitting a Senton and Zayn connecting with a gorgeous sunset flip powerbomb.

Zayn tried to connect with the Helluva Kick on Kaiser, but Kaiser was able to evade, allowing Gunther to explode on Zayn with a huge lariat. Somehow Zayn was able to kick out at 2.999.

An Imperial Bomb from Gunther and Kaiser almost had the match won for Imperium, but KO kept the match alive. 

With the match reaching the final stages, Matt Riddle made his way down to the ring to provide KO a chance to plant Gunther with a DDT on the ramp.

With Gunther indisposed, Zayn landed the Blue Thunder Bomb on Kaiser to retain the tag team titles.
