We take a look back at the change in THE Judgment Day.

Match Number Three:  Kevin Owens versus Ezekiel

Owens with a super kick and a cannonball.  Owens goes up top and hits a Swanton for a near fall.  Ezekiel rolls to the floor and Owens follows.  Owens with punches and Ezekiel Irish whips Owens into the ring post.  Ezekiel breaks the referee's count and he punches Owens.  Owens rolls to the apron and he drops Ezekiel on the top rope.  Ezekiel with a spinebuster for a near fall.  Ezekiel with kicks.  Owens rolls to the other side of the ring when Ezekiel goes up top.  Owens goes for a stunner on the apron but Ezekiel blocks it.  Owens with a knee but Ezekiel gets Owens on his shoulders and hits a Death Valley Driver onto the ring steps.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Owens with a reverse chin lock.  We see footage of Owens hitting a frog splash off the apron onto Ezekiel on the floor.  Owens pulls Ezekiel to the mat by the hair and goes for a back senton but Ezekiel gets his knees up.  Ezekiel and Owens exchange punches and Owens with a knee and Irish whip.  Ezekiel with a mule kick followed by a fallaway side slam and a splash into the corner.  Owens blocks a suplex and Owens goes for a stunner but Ezekiel blocks it.  Ezekiel with a jumping knee and Owens falls to the floor.  Owens pushes Ezekiel into the apron and then Ezekiel misses a splash and hits the ring post.  Owens yells at the announcers for calling Elias "Ezekiel" and Owens gets counted out.

Winner:  Ezekiel (by count out)

After the match, Ezekiel says he needs to talk to the Zeke Freaks.  He is not done with Kevin but he wants to be in the Money in the Bank match.  Ezekiel says he talked to his older brother Elias and he is so excited about Money in the Bank that he is packing up the guitar and coming to Raw next week.  He says Elias might have aged but he is looking good.  He cannot wait to remind everyone what WWE stands for.

We take a look at the Cedric Alexander/MVP story.

We are back and MVP says Cedric Alexander got on his last nerve.  You take rejection poorly.  You injected yourself into our match at Hell in a Cell.  You were always talking about how it is your time but it never happened.  You belong with the rest of the bottom feeders while we belong in Money in the Bank.  All Omos has to do is step on the first or second rung and the contract is in his hands.  Once I am done with you, we can focus on the future.  

Match Number Four:  Montel Vontavious Porter (with Omos) versus Cedric Alexander

Alexander with a forearm and punches.  Alexander with a drop kick to the knee and Porter is down in the corner.  Porter sends Alexander to the apron and Alexander with a kick and slingshot DDT for a near fall.  Alexander sets for a Neuralizer but Omos distracts Alexander.  Porter with a clothesline and double thrust to the throat.  Porter with a punch.  Porter with the Ballin Elbow for a near fall.  Porter sets for the Playmaker and the three count.

Winner:  Montel Vontavious Porter

After the match, Omos sends Alexander over the top rope to the floor and if this was January, the announcers would have told us that Alexander would have been eliminated from the Royal Rumble.

AJ Styles is in the back.  He says Money in the Bank has eluded him.  AJ says he wants that contract to spite Seth Rollins.  What Seth did to Cody Rhodes makes him sick.  Seth Rollins is not on his level, Seth is beneath him.  Seth will no longer doubt by killer instinct.

Seth cackles and says that AJ wants to sucker punch him and then say he did it for Cody.  Since we are making dedications, I would like to dedicate his victory tonight and at Money in the Bank to the American Nightmare himself.  This one's for you Cody.  Seth cackles.

Match Number Five:  AJ Styles versus Seth Rollins in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

AJ with punches to Rollins and AJ with a back slide for a near fall.  AJ with an O'Connor Roll for a near fall.  Rollins with a punch and kick.  Rollins with more punches.  Rollins with a chop and AJ with a drop kick.  Seth goes to the floor and AJ follows.  Rollins with a kick and he sends AJ into the apron.  AJ Irish whips Rollins into the ringside barrier.  AJ with a slingshot forearm to the floor.  AJ with a back breaker for a near fall.  AJ with a punch and the referee warns AJ.  Rollins goes to the floor and AJ follows.  Rollins gets back into the ring and hits a double thrust and then drops AJ on the top rope and knocks AJ off the apron with a forearm.  Rollins with a suicide dive and AJ goes over the announce table.

We go to commercial.
