- Michael Cole Interview: Cole is in the ring and brings out Dean Ambrose for an interview. Ambrose says he's been through just about everything thrown at him in life, came out on top and Money In The Bank will be no different. Kevin Owens interrupts, mocks Cole and tells him to leave the ring. Owens says the only thing crazy about Owens is the fact he thinks he's winning Money In The Bank. Sami Zayn interrupts next and says no one cares what Owens thinks. Zayn says he'll not be focused on Owens, Owens costing him the NXT World Title, Owens costing him the WWE Intercontinental Title, but he'll be focused on winning Money In The Bank. Zayn also informs Ambrose that he needs to take Zayn serious in this match. Alberto Del Rio interrupts next and says he's going to become a two time Money In The Bank winner. Zayn says no one cares because Del Rio hasn't even qualified yet. Owens finally attacks Zayn from behind and runs away.
