By Richard Trionfo on 2023-06-12 23:00:00

Your announcers are Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick.

Adam Pearce is in the ring and she brings out Smackdown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley and it is time for a belt exchange.

Adam presents Rhea with the Women's World Championship belt.

Rhea shows off her new belt.

Dominik Mysterio comes to the ring to celebrate with Rhea and to put the belt around Rhea's waist.

Rhea tells Dom to tell everyone how amazing she is.

Dom says this is disrespectful to both of them.  Everyone knows that behind a great woman, there is a great man.  Dom says he is glad that he can be that man and he will always support her.

Cody Rhodes' music plays and he makes his way to the ring and he is dressed for a fight, but he is going to talk to Rhea and Dom.

Cody asks the state of Kansas what do they want to talk about.

He says they could talk about Rhea and her new championship and the legacy she is starting.  He says he has all the respect in the world for Rhea.  He says he can talk about his match with the Miz later tonight.  Cody says he wants to talk about this and we see what Dom did to Cody last week.  

Cody tells Dom it would be nice to come out here and hear Brock's music and know that he has accepted his challenge but Brock doesn't have the balls to do it.  You slapped me last week.  Let's try this on for size.  Why not you . . . versus me. . . at Money in the Bank.  

Dom thinks about it and he says as you all saw, he is not afraid of anyone in the world.  Dom says he took Cody Rhodes and embarrassed him in the middle of the ring, just like anyone else.  Dom looks around and Cody gestures he is waiting for an answer.

Cody asks the crowd what they were saying and they chant 'you suck'.  Cody says it is a yes or a no.  

Rhea says his Latino Heat is more of a man than anyone in this arena, watching at home, or you.  

Cody says he is asking for an answer.

Rhea says Dom accepts and Miz tries to attack Cody from behind but Cody stops Miz.  Dom gets out of the ring and then returns to hit Cody from behind.

We go to commercial.

We go to the back where Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are talking to Becky Lynch.  Becky walks to the ring and she sees Coach Gable and Otis training Maxxine Dupri.

Becky Lynch has something to say before her match.

She says she is going to Money in the Bank.  Becky says she has been lucky enough to do a lot of things in her career but she has never won Money in the Bank.  This year, she has a good feeling about it.  She says we have all been conditioned to think the number one person in the company is the one who holds the championship.  We have a shiny new championship.  The person who is number one holds the power and who holds more power than the person holding the briefcase.  They have the power to make the champion scared and get them off their game.  Becky says she really likes power.  Until she has the power and the power to make the champion scared, people do crazy, dangerous, and stupid things.  Becky says she likes that because it makes her better.

You only have to look at Trish Stratus to see a scared person.  Trish was so scared that she was going to be exposed at Night of Champions, she got an insurance policy in Zoey Stark.  Trish knew she had already lost.

Zoey Stark interrupts.  She says Becky has a list of accomplishments but one thing that she will never do is beat Trish Stratus.  At Money in the Bank, you can add not beating Zoey Stark to your list of failures.

Becky says she has so many failures and she has learned from them and that is what makes her great.  Becky says she knows a few things about Zoey.  She says Zoey is special in the ring, but she lacks a personality.

Zoey asks Becky about personality.  You did not become relevant because of your personality.  You became relevant because someone broke your face.  You are trying to hold on to that fame.  You are holding on to Trish Stratus.  Zoey says she will break Becky's face again and make her famous.

Becky says Zoey does not have to wait until London . . . 

Becky's opponent, Chelsea Green comes out with Sonya Deville.

Chelsea says she is sorry to interrupt.  

Sonya tells everyone it is time to address the elephant in the room and that is the unprovoked attack by Becky.  Chelsea says she did not fight back because she did not want Sonya to lose her spot in Money in the Bank.

Becky tells Chelsea to get in the ring and she tells Zoey to take a seat to find out why she is famous.

Match Number Two:  Chelsea Green (with Sonya Deville) versus Becky Lynch

Becky goes for DisArmHer but Chelsea escapes.  Chelsea kicks Becky and goes to the turnbuckles but Becky knocks Chelsea to the floor.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Green sends Becky to the mat and applies a reverse chin lock.  We see footage from the break when Sonya distracted Becky long enough to allow Green to knock Becky off the apron.  Chelsea blocks a back heel kick and Green sends Becky to the mat.  Green sends Becky into the turnbuckles.  Becky with forearms and uppercuts.  Green with a kick and she sends Becky to the apron.  Becky goes up top and Green stops her.  Green sets for a superplex, but Becky blocks it and head butts Green to the mat.  Becky with a missile drop kick.  Becky with a drop kick through the ropes and she sends Green many times into the ringside barrier.

Winner:  Becky Lynch

We take a look back at last week's main event between Seth Rollins and Damian Priest.

We go to THE Judgment Day in the back and Finn is not as talkative as Rhea, Priest, and Dom.  They talk about Cody at Money in the Bank and Rhea asks Finn if he is okay.  Finn says he has a lot on his mind.  Priest says he will make sure that he qualifies for Money in the Bank.  He says he is going to go out alone.
