The Smackdown intro brings us to a packed arena as AJ Styles and The Club make their way out.
We go back to Monday night when The Club took a big win over The New Day and proceeded to continue the attack until John Cena arrived with the assist. Commentary then hypes John Cena vs AJ Styles and the Fatal Four Way Tag Title matches at Money In The Bank featuring The New Day, The Vaudevillains, Enzo & Cass, and Gallows & Anderson.
Back in the ring, AJ has a mic in hand as he asks if it’s just him, or are people comparing this year’s Money In The Bank to Wrestlemania? They’re even saying this will be the greatest Money In The Bank of all time! And it’s not just because The Club is contending for the Tag Titles, but the dream match is on between AJ Styles and John Cena! The crowd give a pop as AJ continues, pointing out that with Smackdown going live and the brand extension, this may be the first and last time you see these matchups! The crowd begins chanting for Cena, causing AJ to switch gears and bring up what he had to say about Cena on Monday Night RAW. The era of Cena has lasted over a decade, and it’s time for a change. The new era of WWE cannot get started until I take out John Cena! That has been the plan all along: when I came to the WWE, I made sure that The Club was a package deal. We have reigned and dominated everywhere we’ve been, transcending countries, continents, and companies, and at Money In The Bank it’ll be no different. We will reign, we will dominate, and I will personally prove to John Cena…(mocking Cena’s pose)…you can’t beat me! And Gallows and Anderson will dominate the New Day and become the new WWE Tag Team Champions!
This brings out Enzo & Cass to a big pop from the crowd. Enzo has a mic in hand, and reminds us that his name is Enzo Amore, and he is a certified G and a bonafide stud, and you CAN’T TEACH THAT! This right here is Big Cass, and he’s seven foot tall, and you CAN’T TEACH THAT! Bada boom, realest guys in the room! How you doin’? The crowd starts chanting “How you doin’?” as Cass begins to speak. AJ, it sounded like you were saying that Gallows and Anderson will dominate The New Day to win the WWE Tag Team Champions. They aren’t the only two teams in the match at Money In The Bank. There are four teams in that match, and only one team is leaving Vegas with the WWE Tag Team Championships…and it sure won’t be that Mr. Clean dream team! Enzo says you are looking at the next WWE Tag Team Champions to a pop from the crowd, before Anderson chimes in. For the past ten years we’ve been traveling the world, making a name for ourselves as the absolute best! What about you, Enzo? What have you been doing, managing a Hooters? Enzo says he’s glad the Mr. Clean dream team and Brother RayJ had some porcelain material and have been reading my resume. Yeah, I used to manage a Hooters, I’m a G and out here dominating life, how you doin’? That doesn’t take away from the fact you three have traveled the world, had matches in rings in every continent…except Antarctica…and I’m not gonna lie, I wish I could walk a mile in your shoes. That way I’d have your shoes and be a mile away from you, how you doin’? Gallows says you got jokes, but I got rhymes too: you call yourself a certified G, but I see Mr. Softie…because the last time you were in a big money match, you went to sleep on the jobski! Enzo says look what we got here, a cuppa hatas…a cuppa hatas. Listen up, you jank, every time I step in that ring, I give it all! As you prefaced, I ain’t exactly working with a full deck pal, but when the chips are down, me and Big Cass are all in! We came here to get money, and at Money In The Bank in Vegas, you wanna roll the dice against us? We will beat the crap out! Money walks, and money talks, and you need to pay attention. Cass follows up by saying to pay attention to this: there’s only ONE WORD to describe you, and I’m gonna spell it out for ya! S-A-W-F-T…SAWWWWWFT! Enzo and Cass approach the ring, as we get ready for a big tag match between them and Gallows and Anderson up next!
