Welcome to PWInsider.com’s live coverage of World Wrestling Entertainment’s Money in the Bank pay per view from Fort Worth, Texas. Make sure to check out all coverage, including news, blogs, audio preview, Tip Sheet, and post show recaps.

We are in Fort Worth, Texas and your host is Kayla Braxton.  She is joined by Jerry Lawler, Booker T, John Layfield, and Peter Rosenberg.

They run through the card for the show.

We have a video package for the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Sonya Deville has joined the panel.

Kayla starts off by asking Sonya about the Women's Ladder match and Kayla mentions that everyone who has won has cashed in.  

Sonya says every woman who has held that briefcase has become a star.  Kayla asks Sonya about what to think about during this match.  Sonya says she was involved in a match, but not part of the match.  She did help Mandy during the match.  She says anything can happen.  She mentions Liv Morgan getting into the match.  Everything is on the line and she wants to see the women step up.  She says that is why she pushed Liv Morgan to earn her spot.

Booker talks about the sacrifices made in the match and Booker wonders if Liv will win the match.  

Liv Morgan is in the back and she joins the panel.

Kayla asks her about her thoughts about the match.  Liv says she is so excited about this match.  She says this is the biggest night of her career and she is looking forward to winning the match.

Peter mentions being in the crowd on Friday and he asks her how to take what happened on Friday to tonight.  Liv says she is happy to have the WWE Universe behind her.  To know that the love is reciprocated means so much to her.  

Booker asks Liv if she is too caught up in the moment expecting to win?  Liv says she is ready and willing to risk it all.  There is nothing she won't do to make sure that she has the ladder in her hands at the end of the match.

We move on to the Raw Women's Championship Match and we have a video package.

Kayla asks who Sonya thinks has the upper hand in this match.  Sonya says Rhea is a good person and you have to look at their character when looking at this match.  Rhea will take and take and play by the book until she gets fed up.  Then you will see a side you never want to see.  That is where Charlotte has pushed her to.  Peter asks if Rhea is the nightmare or a good person.  John asks if you can 'Out Flair' a Flair.  Rhea cannot beat Charlotte at her own game.  Booker talks about how there is someone who comes along to try to take the spot from the top star and he feels that is where Rhea is right now.  Jerry says you don't underestimate the Queen and you cannot win when you try to one up Charlotte.  Sonya says that when you get pushed and pushed and get to that point that you pop off, it could be the most dangerous person around.

Kayla asks for predictions and Jerry and Booker pick Charlotte.  John agrees with Booker and Jerry.  Peter goes with Rhea.

We take a look at the Raw Tag Title Match.

Peter asks what do you do with a man the size of Omos.  John says you have to figure out a way to get him out of his game.  He does not know if the Viking Raiders can do that.  Booker says Omos is young, strong, and hungry.  You don't want to mess with him especially with the influence of AJ Styles.  Jerry says you call the Men in Black.

John mentions two individuals against a great tag team in this match and Booker says you shouldn't discount the Viking Raiders.

Everyone picks AJ Styles and Omos.

We take a look at the WWE Championship Match.

Peter says if Bobby is in the same mood tonight he was in on Monday night, he doesn't think Kofi has a chance.  John says there is no problem with champagne and women.  He says Kofi should have had this match two weeks ago. Bobby has awakened and that is a bad thing for Kofi.  Booker says he agrees with Bobby that it is time to get down to business.  He says Bobby has his focus and killer instinct back.  Jerry says it is time for Bobby to get serious.  He says Kofi better not be on the track when the train comes through.

They all pick Bobby Lashley.

We take a look back at Friday's Smackdown in front of a live crowd in Houston.

Miz and John Morrison show up at the table.  

Miz says that John Morrison will be the next Money in the Bank winner.  Miz says Morrison does not need advice.  This is a career changing moment.  John will go to the main event of Wrestlemania, just like Miz says he did when he won Money in the Bank.

Morrison is asked if he is nervous and he says he is nervous because he cares.  

We go to the ring for our Kickoff Show Match.
