Prior to this weekend’s Money in the Bank, many of the competitors in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match took part in a six-man tag team match on Friday Night SmackDown. The trio of Baron Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro came away with the win, but afterwards, the superstars gave us a preview of what to expect on Sunday.
After the match ended with Corbin landing a Deep Six on Drew Gulak for the win, a brawl ensued between himself, Gulak, and Daniel Bryan. After fighting for a bit, Corbin went outside of the ring to grab a ladder before heading to the ring and beginning to climb up to the Money in the Bank briefcase. Things got even more hectic from there, as Bryan, Otis, and Corbin all battled it out while trying to climb the ladder. However, Corbin eventually reigned supreme, knocking Bryan off the ladder before climbing to the top and grabbing the briefcase.
