At Money in the Bank, Carmella had her 'man' help her win the Money in the Bank match, but Daniel Bryan would not let that historic moment stand. Tonight we get a second Money in the Bank Ladder Match. We also get a rematch of the Lana and Naomi match for the Women's Title to see who will have to fight off the briefcase holder. Will Baron Corbin take advantage? Will the Hype Bros get their tag title match that they had to earn, even if they had one already.
We are in San Diego, California and your announcers are Tom Phillips, John Layfield, and Byron Saxton.
Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring.
Daniel asks if everyone is ready for a great night tonight. He says he is proud of the women on Smackdown and we have two huge Women's matches. Naomi will defend the Women's title against Lana. The other match will see Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Carmella, and Tamina in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The winner will be the person who climbs the ladder . . .
Carmella's music plays and she makes her way to the ring with James Ellsworth. Carmella says that Daniel said this was the land of opportunity, but she says it is the land of injustice. Last week, she was unjustly stripped of her Money in the Bank contract. She won the match fair and square. The rulebook states that the match is no disqualification so there are no rules. The first woman to gain possession of the contract wins the match. James is not the first superstar to get involved in a ladder match. Seth Rolilns was not stripped of his contract. Sheamus was not stripped of his contract. Daniel had no right to take the contract. How can you break the rules if there are no rules.
Just because she is more intelligent than any other chick in the locker room, he had not right to take away what is hers. Her contract is now dangling over her head.
Daniel says that Carmella has made valid points. Those matches are no disqualification and others have interferred. Never has someone climbed the ladder, climbed the ladder, grabbed the contract and handed it to another.
Daniel says he has made his decision, but he wants to know from the people of San Diego if he should cancel the match and give the contract back to Carmella or should they have the match.
James Ellsworth says that everyone makes them sick. You are the villains here. You are the ones who control this stupid puppet. James says that he has seen Daniel take pleasure in upsetting his home girl. Ellsworth calls Daniel pathetic. He used to look up to Daniel. He used to see a man, but now he sees a gutless, spineless coward that has not grapefruits to cut it in the ring so he made up some hokey injury.
Daniel tells James he probably should fire him. Tonight it is not about James, it is about the real superstars of Smackdown. Daniel says he said on Talking Smack that he was going to ban James from ringside. Daniel takes it back. He is not banned from ringside. He is banned from the entire arena.
Daniel calls for security and they grab Ellsworth and carry him out of the ring. Ellsworth tries to run away and he tries to leap over the ringside barrier but he lands on it instead and he is finally taken to the back.
Daniel wishes Carmella luck tonight.

Winners: Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso
After the match, the New Day make their way onto the stage and head to the ring.
Xavier says they are so proud of the Usos because they won a match instead of running away in the middle of it. Big E says they want that gold. At Battleground, they are coming for you . . . Xavier stops Big E before he goes Stevie Ray.
Jimmy and Jey wonder why they should give them another shot because they beat them already. They can give them an L and they can go to their playpen and cry. Jimmy says they will take a pass tonight, but they accept the challenge at Battleground. Jey says it ain't about New Day any more, it is about Day One Ish.
Xavier says that the Usos are forgetting who they are dealing with so he gives Kofi the chance to speak.

Becky Lynch is in the interview area and she is asked about getting to face Naomi if she wins tonight and cashes in. She is asked about the second chance. Becky says she was inches away from grabbing the briefcase and inches away of proving you can walk your own path and be successful.
