Ambrose says he'll fight anyone or anything. Del Rio insults everyone in Spanish and calls Zayn a paperboy. Jericho says he created this match so he's winning it. Cesaro mocks Jericho because he never won one. Jericho says they should all shut up and enjoy the Gift of Jericho. Ambrose punches Jericho and a brawl breaks out.

Old Smackdown GM, Teddy Long arrives and starts rattling off matches. Stephanie McMahon is out next and asks Teddy what the hell he's doing. With Shane McMahon on vacation this week Teddy says he wants a shot at proving he can run the show again. Stephanie isn't having it and tells Teddy to leave. Stephanie then announces tonight's real card involving one on one matches between all the money in the bank participants.

- Chris Jericho vs. Cesaro: The match closes out with Jericho landing a kick on Cesaro, gets a near fall and then trades punches with Cesaro. Cesaro goes for The Neutralizer, but Jericho counters it into the Walls Of Jericho submission. Cesaro counters that into the Cesaro Swing and then locks Jericho in the Sharpshooter submission. Cesaro picks up the win as Jericho taps out.

- John Cena Promo: Cena talks about what happened last week with AJ Styles and wants to know why he did what he did. Styles arrives with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Styles says he did what he did cause the plan was to shake Cena's hand then punch Cena in the mouth. Styles says Cena offends him and Cena can't wrestle. Cena says Styles is saying the same stuff that people have said about Cena for years, Styles failed at winning the Royal Rumble, failed twice at winning the WWE World Title and Styles is a bust. Styles says he has nothing to lose, which makes him the most dangerous man in the business. Styles says he knows what happens, once people go up against Cena its time to get out the shovel because Cena buries his opponents. Styles says The Club is his insurance policy so it doesn't happen to him. The Club all surround Cena, but The New Day hit the ring to help Cena back off The Club.
