We are back and Kevin Patrick ambushes MVP to tell him that Bobby Lashley has left the building.  MVP says Lashley has left the building, but it is not what you think.  He is just blowing off a little steam.  He will be in the VIP Lounge.

We see what happened last week with Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal when the McIntyre family sword was absconded by Jinder.

We see Jinder Mahal arriving at the building earlier today and he is greeted by Veer and Shanky.  Jinder asks if they have the sword and Shanky gives it to Jinder.

Alexa Bliss is in her Playground and she talks about the Four Way match tonight and the Money in the Bank match on Sunday.  She says what kind of fun could she have when she gets her hands on the briefcase.

Eva wants to know if Alexa is going to introduce her . . . them.

Alexa welcomes Eva and Doudrop to her playground.  Alexa says she likes Doudrop's name and she says it many times.  Alexa asks her to say in one word what her time has been.

Eva interrupts and says Evalutionary.  They won their match last week thanks to her.

Eva is shocked that she is called a surprise bonus by Alexa.  Eva is the headlining star.  This is the last time she steps foot in this dingy, grubby, little playground.  Eva says she can see why Alexa only invited Doudrop.  The Evalution deserves so much better.  Doudrop waves at Alexa before leaving.

Jinder Mahal, Shanky, and Veer make their way to the ring as we go to commercial.

Jinder says he had some time to reflect and he might have taken things too far.  He says he knows how proud Drew is of his Scottish heritage.  He does not know if Drew has been able to eat or sleep before the Money in the Bank ladder match.  He wants Drew to come out so he can apologize, shake Drew's hand, and give him back his sword.  Jinder says he is trying to do the right thing and he asks Drew to come out.

Drew is in the back and he is probably near Jinder's motorcycle.  

Drew asks Jinder how he is doing.  He says that Jinder is a decorated champion and a liar so he wants Jinder to cut through the BS.

Jinder says he wanted to do this in person, but if this is how you want to do it.  Veer and Shanky got your sword refinished.

Jinder reveals a sword that was broken.  Jinder apologizes and says something must have happened.

Drew says you cannot show up on Raw with something and expect it to get destroyed.  Drew says that sword is a replica and then Drew shows that this . . . is the real thing.  Drew says he does not think that this is a replica as he does walk to the motorcycle.  Drew says it looks a little delicate and then he destroys the motorcyle.

Drew tells Jinder it's nothing a little elbow grease can't fix.

Nikki Cross is in the Gorilla Position and Riddle shows up.  He says that Nikki reminds him of a super hero that he used to watch.  Riddle tells Nikki she should fly up and get the briefcase.

Nikki says she loves super heroes as much as the next person, but she is ALMOST a superhero so there is no flying.

Asuka says after she wins Money in the Bank for a second time, no champion in WWE will be ready for Asuka.

Match Number Two:  Nikki A.S.H. versus Alexa Bliss versus Asuka versus Naomi

Naomi drop kicks Nikki and Asuka to the floor and Naomi runs Alexa into the corner and connects with shoulders.  Alexa with a punch.  Alexa hangs in the ropes and hits a cross body for a near fall.  Asuka punches Alexa and Nikki with a double leg take down and jackknife cover for a near fall.  Nikki with a rollup on Naomi for a near fall.  Asuka drop kicks Naomi and Nikki.  Naomi and Asuka with forearms and then Asuka with strikes and then Naomi and Asuka miss a series of kicks until both hit round kicks at the same time and they go down.  

Nikki gets back into the ring and so does Alexa.  Nikki does her almost pose and she slaps Alexa.  Alexa goes for Sister Abigail but Nikki with a kick and drop kick.

Eva Marie and Doudrop make their way to the ring.  

Naomi with a leg lariat to Nikki.  Asuka kicks Naomi and Alexa with a DDT on Asuka for a near fall.  Alexa waves at Doudrop and Doudrop waves back.  Doudrop and Alexa start talking and then Eva freaks out over Alexa walking towards her.  Alexa screams at Eva and Doudrop slaps Alexa and then sends Alexa over the ringside barrier.

Eva and Doudrop look where Doudrop dropped Alexa and Alexa is not there.

We go to commercial.
