Edge walks in the back and he is asked by Megan Morant about Jimmy Uso's plan for tonight.

Edge says he knows he is walking into a trap.  Jimmy is putting on a good show about where is Roman.  Edge says he knows what is coming.  It is interesting that the Ultimate Opportunist is getting one put over him.  He does not care.  He is tired of Roman and his family and their excuses.  If they want to do it, they are going to face a vindictive son of a bitch.

Sonya Deville makes her way to the ring to tell us the next person who earned their way into the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match because Sonya said so.

We are back and the I Quit Match between Bayley and Bianca Belair is official.

Corbin asks if this is supposed to be funny and he tells everyone screw you.

Sonya Deville is in the ring and she says the second member of the Smackdown roster in the Money in the Bank match is one of the most motivated superstars . . . Zelina Vega.

Zelina says it is nice to see her.  It is your honor to announce her return.  It will be my pleasure to grab that Money in the Bank contract and then wait until the champion is down and half beaten and can barely stand.  That is when I will cash in my Money in the Bank briefcase to become the Raw, Smackdown, or NXT champion.

Liv Morgan comes out and she wants to know what is going on.  It is bad enough you put Carmella in the match last week without her having to qualify.  Liv says she belongs in the match, not Carmella.  You are rewarding Zelina with an opportunity?  She worked real hard for that chance.  She doesn't deserve to be in this match.  She hasn't competed on Smackdown all year.  How is that even fair.

Zelina says she has competed in this ring and rings like it for years.  She says she is one of the most popular superstars in WWE history.  I can run circles around you and embarrass you.  That is why I will show you why I am in the match.

Liv slaps Zelina and she says she will prove it and show Sonya.

Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville talk in their office and Seth Rollins shows up and he introduces himself to Sonya and Adam.  Sonya says they know who he is.  Seth says he thought they forgot about him because they gave Edge the match at Money in the Bank when they promised it to him.

Adam says that Edge deserves the opportunity.

Seth reminds Adam that he is Seth Freakin' Rollins.

Adam says Edge won the Royal Rumble and did not get his one on one match yet.

We see Paul Heyman pacing in the Gorilla Position and Jimmy wants to know where Roman is.  Jimmy says Roman needs to know about this.  

Paul says that the Tribal Chief operates on his own time.  He does things for his family.  Paul tells Jimmy he needs to be 'Main Event' Jimmy Uso.

Jimmy says he will and he goes to the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and next week Seth Rollins and Cesaro will meet to determine who will be in Money in the Bank.  We will also see Shinsuke Nakamura and Baron Corbin for the other spot from Smackdown.

Jimmy Uso wants to know where Edge is because he is right here.  It looks like it is just you and me tonight because there ain't no Roman Reigns here.  I don't need my cousin because I can take care of you all by myself.  Jimmy says it seems to him that you aren't man enough to stand in the middle of the ring with Jimmy Uso.  This ain't no trap.  This is just Uce calling you out.  Let's do this.

Edge makes his way to the stage and he asks Jimmy if he thinks he is smart.  You are all bowed up because your cousin, the head of the table is in the wings.  He is using your family.  He beat Jey up until he acknowledged that Roman is the head of the table.  Once he was done with Jey, he moved on to you.  What happened to your backbone and saying you were nobody's bitch and now you are one of Roman's bitches.  Roman laid the perfect trap, but this isn't a trap for me, it is a trap for you.

Edge makes his way to the ring.

Edge sends Jimmy into the turnbuckles and then shoulder first into the ring post.  Edge sends Jimmy into the ring post again.  Edge rearranges the steps but Jimmy with a super kick.  Jimmy sends Edge back into the ring.  Jimmy punches Edge as many times as the camera angle changes.  Edge with a boot to Jimmy and Edge punches Jimmy.  Edge with a crossface on Jimmy with a sleeper added and Jimmy taps out because it does not matter.  Edge sets for the spear as he waits for Jimmy to get up and Edge with the spear to Jimmy.

Edge goes to the floor and he gets a chair that is conveniently placed against the edge of the ringside barrier.  Edge breaks off a part of the chair and he returns to the ring to put Jimmy in the crossface with the bar of the chair in Jimmy's mouth.

We go to credits.
