WWE Money in the Bank Results:
– Kickoff Match: The Hype Bros defeated The Colons. Zack Ryder pinned Primo after a Hype Rider.
1. Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Tamina and Becky Lynch. Lynch was climbing the ladder, but James Ellsworth interfered and knocked her out. Ellsworth then climbed the ladder, unhooked the briefcase and dropped it to Carmella. Both Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan sent out tweets saying they’d address the situation on Smackdown this week.
2. Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match: The New Day defeated The Usos (c). The Usos intentionally lost the match by count-out, which means they’re still Smackdown Tag Team Champions.
3. Smackdown Women’s Championship Match: Naomi (c) defeated Lana. Lana appeared to have the match won with her sit-out spinebuster, but Carmella and James Ellsworth came to ringside and teased a Money in the Bank cash-in. Naomi won the match by submission with her headscissors crucifix choke. Carmella didn’t cash in.
– Maria Kanellis returned to WWE alongside her husband, Mike Bennett, now known as “Mike Kanellis.” They promised to educate Smackdown on the power of love, for some reason.
4. WWE Championship Match: Jinder Mahal (c) defeated Randy Orton. St. Louis-area legends were seated at ringside. The Singh Brothers cheated for Mahal and were ejected, but decided to mess with Randy Orton’s father, Bob Orton, instead of leaving. Orton beat them up, then walked into a Khallas from Mahal and was pinned.
5. Breezango defeated The Ascension. The Ascension were the team that jumped Tyler Breeze backstage on Smackdown. Fandango pinned Viktor with a small package.
6. Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Baron Corbin defeated Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Corbin attacked Nakamura before the match, taking him out from most of it. Nakamura returned later and cleaned house. Nakamura and Styles squared off for several minutes and continued the fight on top of a ladder, so Corbin shoved them off and climbed the ladder to win the match.
