WWE Money in the Bank Opener:

We open the show with a video that hypes the Money in the Bank matches, and the fact that everyone who has cashed in their briefcase has gone on to win the title.

The pyro hits and Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. There are ladders galore around the entrance ramp and ringside. Some of the ladders stand about 3/4 of the way up the Titan Tron. It’s a pretty amazing sight. It looks like we’re going to open with the Smackdown MITB match.

Backstage:

Josh Matthews is backstage with Sheamus. He asks him about Dolph. Sheamus says he’s not worried about the future, he’s worried about tonight. He says Del Rio is a vicious competitor. He says he’s a bit of a car enthusiast himself. He doesn’t need a fancy car or hood ornament though, because the only ornament he needs is his title. He’s fine driving a clunker that gets the job done. A car that’ll end up in a scrap yard. He says that’s funny because tonight next to the transmissions, you’ll find Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodrieguez.

He says he was off filming a movie and you’re looking at a bona fide movie star. He says he was treated with the respect he earned and has been denied far too long. He says he has won the Money in the Bank ladder match and has successfully cashed in for the contract. Tonight, he’s tired of being overlooked, and he wants to make a sudden impact, so tonight the Raw Money in the Bank match will have five competitors, and Miz will prevail over everyone else. He will eventually become the WWE Champion again. Why? Because he’s the Miz, and he a movie star, and he’s awesome.

– We get a video package that I’ve seen a couple of times, but still think might be one of the best video packages WWE has produced in a good long while. This means that our streak of having a non-title match close the show will stay intact (unless there’s some sort of MITB shenanigans).

Backstage:

AJ is shown backstage with Matt Striker. Striker says many are concerned about her performance tonight. AJ says she’s taking her responsibilities seriously and she’s in full control. Just because CM Punk broke her heart in front of the entire world, and made her act out in rage and slap him doesn’t mean she won’t be fair. Bryan was her first love, and you always have a special place in your heart for someone even if they lied to you and used you. She doesn’t know if she wants to hug and kiss them, or rip out their… She says the match is next and she has to go. She walks off toward the entranceway.
