The annual Money in the Bank premium live event aired live from the O2 Arena in London, England on Saturday, and the show kicked off in a big way with the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, LA Knight, Santos Escobar, Butch, Damian Priest and Logan Paul all went to war as they battled for the briefcase, but it was Damian Priest who walked out with the contract. Ahead of the match Michael Cole reiterated that the wrestler who wins the briefcase will be able to cash in their title shot for any championship on any brand.
Logan Paul entered the match last and all of the competitors stared at him then briefly teamed up to beat him down. The match got underway and the fans made it clear that they were very much behind LA Knight. Logan Paul made a comeback and tried to climb the ladder, but Shinsuke, Ricochet, Butch and LA Knight all teamed up again to get him off the ladder.
Damian Priest went to attack Logan Paul, but Paul suggested they team up, so they both worked together to set up two tables outside the ring. However, the alliance was short lived as Priest attacked Logan Paul immediately after as the fans chanted “you deserve it.” Priest moved the ring steps then set up a ladder horizontally on the steps and ring apron. He tried to put Logan Paul through it, but Logan Paul ended up hitting Priest with a frog splash on the ladder as the fans chanted “you still suck!”
At one point Butch set up a ladder outside the ring then hit a moonsault on LA Knight, Escobar, Ricochet and Nakamura. He tried to climb the ladder in the ring, but Logan Paul stopped Butch and the fans booed Paul heavily, but Santos Escobar took Logan Paul out.
Logan Paul made his way back up the ladder and battled with Ricochet, but LA Knight pushed them over into the ropes then Ricochet sent them both through the tables outside the ring.
Butch and LA Knight climbed up the ladder and LA Knight tried to suplex Butch off the top, but Butch tried to break Knight’s fingers so Knight fell off. Damian Priest climbed up and chokeslammed Butch off the ladder. LA Knight grabbed Priest then sent him out of the ring. Escobar tried to stop Knight, but Knight hit him with Blunt Force Trauma. Shinsuke Nakamura then tried to stop LA Knight, but Knight then took out Shinsuke and climbed the ladder. He grabbed the briefcase, and it looked like he had it won, but Damian Priest stopped him and went for a Broken Arrow off the top on Knight. Priest then climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase.
