Butch joined in with the attack before LA Knight came in and broke it up. Logan was back once more and tried to climb up to the briefcase before everyone else ran after him and kicked him down.
THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏 👏👏👏

Butch came in with a cricket bat and cleared the ring before Priest took him out at ringside. Logan tried to get Damian to work with him, and it worked for a bit as they stacked two tables at ringside before Priest took Paul down and tossed him into a ladder at ringside.
Damian hit Logan with a big strike off a counter and was about to suplex him into the steel steps when Butch interfered. Priest was lying on a horizontal ladder when Logan came in with a big splash.
THIS JUST HAPPENED! 🤯 #MITB https://t.co/l9qZ7x86Mu

SURPRISE!
@JohnCena is here at #MITB! https://t.co/p8M0ccEXia
John Cena was out next and talked about it being too long since WWE came to the UK. Cena said that WWE management may have felt a little apprehensive about booking a show in London before saying that he was trying to bring WrestleMania there as well.
The WWE Universe in London is as passionate as it gets! Just ask @JohnCena!
#MITB https://t.co/S9m2ZU5mIi
Cena asked the crowd to cheer for the idea of having 'Mania in London before Grayson Waller made his entrance. Waller pretended to be a fan before laughing at the idea of having 'Mania in London and calling Cena a liar.
#WrestleMania in London? @JohnCena wants to help make it happen!
#MITB https://t.co/0jnnxD6xTY
Waller instead wanted to have 'Mania in Australia and even offered Cena a spot on the hypothetical show. Waller wanted to 'save' Cena's career by having him on his talk show at WrestleMania Australia.
Cena passed on the offer, offending Waller, who attacked him from behind. Cena got back up and hit the Attitude Adjustment before walking out.

Who will become Ms. #MITB? https://t.co/9AHHBlOXKd
Trish Stratus and Zoey Stark went after Becky Lynch right off the bat before attacking Bayley and IYO as well. Becky cleared the field and went up top before Stark and Stratus came back and took her down.
Bayley stopped Stratus from climbing next before Zelina Vega joined in. IYO was on top of a ladder, but the ladder was pushed aside, so she hit a massive Over the top Moonsault on the competitors below instead.
What a #MITB moonsault by @Iyo_SkyWWE! 😲😲😲 https://t.co/g0D8aWCb32
Trish and Becky were fighting on top of a ladder before they were taken down, and Stratus hit Bayley with the Stratusfaction. Zoey attacked Becky with a pair of handcuffs and tried to handcuff her to the ring.
Becky ducked a shot from a ladder and set up Zoey on a ladder bridge to the announcers' table before dropping Stratus with a manhandle slam on the same ladder. Vega and Zoey were on top of a ladder next, and Vega hit her with a massive sunset flip bomb on another ladder.
An enraged @BeckyLynchWWE is out for payback at #MITB! https://t.co/LpHoelloeg
IYO was climbing up the ladder, but Bayley stopped her by dropping the ladder. Bayley went up herself, but Becky followed her up and took her down using the handcuffs. SKY came back and handcuffed Bayley and Becky together on the ladder before climbing over Bayley and picking up the win!

Seth Rollins (c) vs. Finn Balor - World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE Money in the Bank
This #WorldTitle match is INSANE!
#MITB https://t.co/GVrcUuOmHC
Seth Rollins started off strong and sent Balor into the corner before missing the pedigree. Balor stomped Seth in the ribs before getting some strikes and kicks on the ropes and sending the champ outside.
CASH IT IN?!
#MITB https://t.co/w3khid6PNY
Seth came back with the pedigree for a near fall before Damian Priest showed up with the Money in the Bank briefcase. The distraction almost allowed Balor to get the win before Priest sat down at ringside, and Balor came in with dropkicks and two Coup de Graces.
Back in the ring, Balor was about to finish it but Damian got up, distracting Finn. Rollins dodged the finisher, got up, and hit the stomp before getting the win.
Result: Seth Rollins def. Finn Balor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
What a #WorldTitle Match!
@WWERollins retains at #MITB against a determined @FinnBalor!

Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa vs. The Usos - The Bloodline Civil War at WWE Money in the Bank
Leave it to @HeymanHustle to ask the real questions here...
#MITB https://t.co/uiQv4pNx6u
Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso kicked off the match, and Sikoa got some chops and a big boot. Jey Uso tagged in and got the takedown before Roman Reigns demanded the tag. Solo was not happy but made the tag anyway before Roman hit Jimmy on the apron and took Jey down with a clothesline.
Jey came back with some strikes in the corner before being kicked down and taking a cheap shot from Solo. Sikoa tagged in and hit a clothesline, taking out Jimmy. The crowd was going wild, chanting things like 'Tribal W*nker' and causing Roman to get even angrier.
London is getting inside the head of @WWERomanReigns at #MITB!
#CivilWar https://t.co/NGsd1XtbZ2
Jimmy was taking a beating but managed to make the tag before Jey came in and got some superkicks to Solo. Jey did the hip attack but was met with the Samoan Drop, which he reversed. Roman came in with a sneaky tag, and Jey sent him off the apron before hitting both opponents with dives.
Roman got a Superman Punch off a counter and then hit the move again before Jimmy and Jey came in with a double spear for a near fall. Outside the ring, Jey sent Solo into the ring post before Jimmy took a Superman Punch for a near fall from Roman in the ring.
Never saw it coming!
#MITB #CivilWar https://t.co/VHU2vOa9tY
Roman took a superkick, but the splash from Jimmy was countered with the Guillotine. Jey got a blind tag before the ref was knocked out of the ring. Roman took the 1D, but the official was not there to count, as Jey got a count of nearly ten. The Usos tried for double splashes, but Solo interfered and joined Roman for a double uranage.
Solo hit the Samoan Spike on Jey before assisting Roman with a spear/spike combo. Sikoa stacked The Usos on top of each other, and Roman tried for a pin, but they kicked out.
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
#MITB https://t.co/Szh0JDVxtS
Roman asked Solo to take out Jimmy, and Sikoa put him on top of the announce desk and hit a dive, but Jimmy rolled out of the way, and Solo went through the table. Roman got another spear on Jey, but he kicked out.
THIS IS INSANE!!!

Jey got a sneaky low blow before showering Reigns with Superkicks with the help of Jimmy. Jey went up top and hit the splash before picking up the win.
