- We kick off the show with the New Day, who come out to a special entrance with a band. They say they had to make an entrance New Orleans, for the home of WrestleMania before saying they'll defeat the Usos at Money in the Bank and win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. They are interrupted by the Usos, who say they'll retain the titles before being interrupted by Breezango, who say the Usos' Day One is not H, it's G for gross. They are interrupted by the Colons, who call Breezango the worst detectives ever and say their fashion sense is horrible. They say they didn't trash the Fashion Police Department, but they're going to trash them.
- The New Day & Breezango with Big E vs The Usos & The Colons-Jimmy Uso tells Kofi to start...just so he can tag out to Epico. Kofi & Epico go back and forth before Kofi hits a back elbow for a near fall. Woods tags in for a sliding clothesline and a diving elbow drop for a near fall before Fandango tags in. Fandango hits a headscissor takedown before blocking a sunset flip and hitting a leg drop for a near fall. Breeze tags in for a double elbow drop, but Epico is able to force him into his team's corner. Jey Uso tags in for a bodyslam before the heels beat down Breeze. The heels control the match until Breeze hits an enziguri on Primo. Woods tags in for an assisted tilt-a-whirl splash with Breeze before dropkicking Primo for a near fall. Woods follows up with the Honor Roll before all hell breaks loose. Kofi & Fandango hit a double dropkick on Jey Usos before Breeze & Woods hit another on Jimmy. The New Day & Breezango clothesline the Usos out of the ring before the commercial break. We come back to Primo working over Breeze with a surfboard. The heels control the match until Breeze throws Epico into Primo and clotheslines Primo, effectively DDTing Epico. Woods gets the hot tag and runs wild on Jimmy Uso before tagging out to Kofi and taking out the Colons with a somersault plancha. Kofi floors Jimmy Uso with a diving axe handle before hitting the Boom Drop. Kofi calls for Trouble in Paradise, but Jimmy avoids, only to get caught a second time. Jey Uso breaks up the fall before Fandango clotheslines him out. Primo tags in and tries to hit the Backstabber on Kofi, but Kofi holds the ropes to block it. Kofi hits a backbreaker after tagging out to Woods, who hits double stomp for the three and the win. Pretty enjoyable match.
- "Free Agent" John Cena returns to SmackDown on July 4th. So he can show up on RAW & SmackDown now, I guess.
- Backstage, AJ Styles warns Shinsuke Nakamura can get overly excited for big matches. However, Sami Zayn shows up and is composed...for about five seconds. He says he wants to go over strategy, but no one else talks and he goes on and on before leaving. Nakamura says he likes him.
- Dasha Fuentes interviews Mojo Rawley. He thanks Shane McMahon for giving him the opportunity to face Jinder Mahal last week and even though he lost, he always bounces back from defeat and the best from him is yet to come. Suddenly, Zack Ryder shows up and says Rawley has nothing to be ashamed of, but they have unfinished business as a team.
- Naomi vs Tamina-Before the match, Lana comes out and watches the match from ringside. Naomi beats down Tamina in the corner, only for Tamina to headbutt her down. Tamina throws Naomi around the ring before going to the headlock. Naomi tries to come back with two roundhouse kicks, but Tamina is able to floor her before beating her down in the corner. Tamina controls the match until Naomi flips out of a back suplex and hits a kick out of the corner. Naomi kicks away at Tamina, but Tamina catches her off a crossbody and hits a spinning side slam for a near fall. Tamina goes to the top rope for the splash, but Naomi catches her with an enziguri, throws her down to the mat, and hits a split-legged moonsault for the three and the win. Fine match, nothing special. After the match, Lana attacks Naomi and hits a sitout spinebuster before holding up the SmackDown Women's Championship.
- Jinder Mahal comes out for a promo. He says he'll defeat Randy Orton at Money in the Bank and prove that he is a coward. He says Orton fears him and he will cut down his legacy piece by piece. He says this is the era of the Modern Day Maharaja before speaking in Punjabi. Orton's music hits, so Jinder sends the Singh Brothers to guard the entranceway. However, Orton appears (possibly from out of nowhere) and hits an RKO on Jinder before going into the crowd.
- In the locker room, Kevin Owens approaches Dolph Ziggler & Baron Corbin. They have none of it at first, but Owens points out that they have to work together to weaken their opponents or they could walk into Money in the Bank worse for wear. He ends by saying they don't have to be friends, but they shouldn't be their own worst enemies.
- Renee Young interviews Randy Orton. He says he said all he needed to in the ring tonight and that the time for talking is over. He ends by saying he'll win the WWE Championship back at Money in the Bank.
- Natalya vs Charlotte Flair-The two go back and forth before Natalya throws Charlotte down by her hair before the commercial break. We come back to Natalya working over Charlotte with an elevated surfboard. Natalya controls the match until Charlotte fires back with chops and a knee drop. Charlotte follows up with an overhead suplex before going to the top rope for a moonsault, but Natalya kicks out. Charlotte tries for it again, only for Natalya to come over and powerbomb her for a near fall. Natalya goes for the Sharpshooter, but Charlotte blocks it and gets a near fall off a roll up. Charlotte quickly follows up with a big boot for a near fall before Natalya gets a near fall off a small package. Charlotte kicks out and quickly hits Natural Selection for the three and the win. Fine match, nothing special.
- It's the "Fashion Files: Sweet Victory." Fandango poses in front of a mirror before finding Tyler Breeze laid out in a destroyed office. On the corkboard, we get what might be the best joke they've ever made in one of these segments.Top notch. Breeze says his attackers had greasy hair, dry skin, and two arms. Fandango sketches it, and Breeze says that that's them. They leave, only for the camera to show that Fandango drew two stick figures.
- Dasha Fuentes interviews Lana. She says she doesn't care what the fans think of her and that she's going to crush Naomi at Money in the Bank to become the SmackDown Women's Champion.
- Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin, and Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn, AJ Styles, and Shinsuke Nakamura-Nakamura & Ziggler start the match going back and forth before Nakamura drops a knee on Ziggler. Nakamura gives Ziggler Good Vibrations in the corner, which Ziggler responds to with an uppercut and a dropkick. The heels control the match, beating down Nakamura in the corner until Nakamura dodges an elbow drop. Styles gets the hot tag and runs through Ziggler, hitting a pumphandle gutbuster before hitting the Ushigoroshi, but Owens breaks up the fall. Zayn sends him out of the ring and takes him out with a somersault tope as Styles goes for the Styles Clash. However, Ziggler is able to counter it and hit a jumping DDT for a near fall.

Zayn crawls to make the hot tag, but Owens & Ziggler pull Styles & Nakamura off the apron. Ziggler & Nakamura and Styles & Owens brawl at ringside before Zayn manages to hit the Helluva Kick for the three and the win. After the match, we get the standard brawl before Money in the Bank where everyone fight with ladders and someone climbs a ladder and grabs the Money in the Bank briefcase. This one ends with Nakamura climbing the ladder and grabbing the briefcase after hitting the Kinshasa on Baron Corbin to close the show.
