Carmella says she won Money In The Bank fair and square and this is the land of injustice not the land of opportunity. James Ellsworth tells the fans to shut up with the Yes Chants because they control Daniel Bryan like a puppet. Ellsworth says he used to look up to Bryan, but now all he sees is a gutless coward who can't go in the ring anymore so he made up his injury. Bryan changes his mind on banning Ellsworth from tonight's Money In The Bank Ladder Match and instead bans him from the arena. WWE Security arrive and Ellsworth tries to run. After trying to escape through the crowd, Ellsworth is finally grabbed and dragged off. Bryan wishes Carmella good luck in her match tonight to end the segment.

After the match, The New Day interrupt and applaud The Usos for winning a match without running away. New Day challenge The Usos for WWE Battleground. The Usos accept even though they claim to have already beaten The New Day.
Winners: The Usos, by pinfall. - The Fashion Files return with Tyler Breeze and Fandango interrogating Konnor.

Orton wants a rematch with Jinder Mahal or else he will find Mahal backstage and beat him down. Mahal doesn't appear so Orton goes to leave to search for Mahal, but gets interrupted by Shane McMahon. Shane tells Orton that he can't have him threatening the world champion and holding up the show. Orton is angry about Mahal touching his family and threatens to attack Mahal at every show. Shane says he understands what it feels like to have family attacked and promises Orton a title shot at WWE Battleground, but Mahal gets to pick the stipulation. Orton says he doesn't care because he's getting back his title. Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers interrupt. Mahal says Orton isn't worthy of a title shot and mocks Orton and his dad Bob Orton. Mahal says that The Great Khali has always been his hero so Mahal will defend his title against Orton in the match Khali created......a Punjabi Prison Match.
- Backstage, AJ Styles asks Daniel Bryan about Kevin Owens' US Open Challenge. Owens interrupts and asks Styles if he's complaining that he didn't get a title shot last week.

Winner: Baron Corbin, by pinfall. - Backstage, Shinsuke Nakamura says Baron Corbin is dangerous but motivated by the fear of what Nakamura could do to him. Nakamura says that maybe it's best that Corbin is afraid.
