#1 Contender’s Match
Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Tamina Snuka vs. Naomi
Tamina destroys everyone to kick off the match, squashing bodies in the corner and throwing opponents left and right. After a commercial break the tides had turned as all three worked together to take down Tamina and hit her with move after move until she rolled out of the ring. Becky and Charlotte started throwing uppercuts back and forth but Naomi came flying off the ropes to take them both down with a crossbody.

Becky Lynch & Naomi vs. Natalya & Carmella
The team of Fire & Glow was a cohesive unit throughout, working fluidly to work over Carmella and keep the #1 contender at bay. The same could not be said for the heels, as Carmella tagged her way in several times and even screamed at her partner that it was her opportunity. She might have bit off more than she could chew as the champion rocked Carmella with stiff kicks. The Statin Island Princess belligerently slapped Naomi in the face, but ate a spin kick to take her down. Natalya took a cheap shot from the apron giving them an opening to start working over the champion. They built towards the hot tag to Becky Lynch who came in and cleaned house. Natalya fought her back and almost put it away with the Sharpshooter, but Carmella once again tagged herself in. She went for her Code of Silence finisher but it got easily reversed and a brawl broke out. Becky took out Natalya as Naomi put Carmella in Feel The Glow to pick up the submission.
Winners: Becky Lynch & Naomi

Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch vs. Tamina Snuka vs. Lana
Of course it was Tamina to kick things off, as Becky started throwing kicks trying to take her down. She went to the second rope looking to fly but got caught and fell hard to the mat. Lana made the tag to pick the bones, connecting with a vertical suplex and sending knees into her opponent’s back. The crowd started a mild “you can’t wrestle” chant so she smartly made a quick tag to Tamina. Becky eventually fought her way out and made the hot tag to Charlotte, who came in with a series of chops and a running forearm to take down Snuka for two. She made the mistake of trying to lift up the bigger woman and got caught with a superkick. In comes Lana to try and sneak a pin, but Charlotte knocked Tamina off the apron and caught the Ravishing Russian with a big boot for the pin.
Winner: Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch
– After the match Tamina was obviously frustrated, screaming “are you kidding me” at Lana, who looked embarrassed and about to cry. Snuka still told her “let’s go” and the two left together, but she was very clearly not happy.

– Shane McMahon was backstage with the women’s division. He hyped the five-way elimination match at Battleground before asking which Superstars wanted to give the audience a good performance here tonight. Basically everyone said they wanted to fight Lana, prompting Tamina Snuka to scream at them to back off. Natalya tried to stir the pot and suggested that Charlotte fight Becky Lynch, which led to some bickering between the two. Charlotte claimed that she’d beaten Becky every time they were in the ring together, and Shane said he wanted to see them go at so he made the match official.
Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair
Natalya joined the commentary team for this match, as Smackdown Women’s Champion Naomi was shown watching from the backstage area. We got a flurry of back and forth chops to start things off, with Charlotte taking control and dropping her father’s signature knee. Becky came back with an exploder suplex for two, then started weakening her opponent’s arm for her finishing submission. Charlotte recovered and tried for Natural Selection but Becky had it scouted and countered into the Disarmher, but Flair got to the ropes to break the hold. Charlotte climbed to the top rope and tried for a moonsault but came up empty. Becky once again went for the Disarmher and got it locked in, dragged Flair back to the middle of the ring and sat down on the hold, picking up the somewhat surprising submission victory. // Winner: Becky Lynch
– Becky offered her hand after the match and the two shook it out, so it looks like things are good between two of the Horsewomen. Tamina Snuka made her way out with Lana close behind, while Natalya hit the ring and attacked Becky and Charlotte. The heels cleared the ring and Natalya went after Lana, but Tamina made the save and kicked Neidhart square in the face to protect her… friend? I think friend is what we’re going with right now.

– Becky Lynch is interviewed backstage and praised Daniel Bryan for doing the right thing and giving the women of Smackdown a fair chance. She says all she needs is a fair chance to become Ms. Money in the Bank and finally get her hands on the women’s championship.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Charlotte Flair vs. Tamina Snuka vs. Becky Lynch vs. Carmella vs. Natalya
Four of the women brawled to the floor right away leaving Carmella alone in the ring, so she took a ladder and began to climb. They all returned and the Staten Island princess realized she was surrounded, tried to bail but got her ass kicked instead. Becky and Charlotte had a staredown and went at it, but Tamina took them both out as we head to commercial.
After the break Tamina caught Carmella trying to steal the match again, and threw her head first over the commentary table. Her and Charlotte battled over a ladder and Becky tried to climb up it while it was being held vertically, but crashed to the mat instead. Charlotte and Natalya began to climb and battled back and forth atop the ladder, but Carmella came back and knocked them over into the ropes. She celebrated her “dominance” a bit too hard and turned around into a suplex from Becky Lynch. Before Hot Fire could do anything with her advantage, Tamina came out of nowhere and blasted her with a lariat. All five women are down as we go to our final commercial of the night.
All five are somehow still down coming back from the break. Natalya is the first to recover and begins to climb, gets her hands on the briefcase but is cut off by Charlotte. Tamina and Becky join them and there are four women battling on a single ladder, which eventually gives way and sends all of them crashing and burning to the floor. Carmella was bidding her time and realizes she has an opening. She gets to the top of the ladder and almost takes it down, but all four women recover and pick up the ladder while she’s on top of of it, moving her to the side. They all start brawling again and Carmella flies off the ladder to take everyone down. Charlotte set up the ladder and slammed the bottom of it into Tamina’s head, then pinned her underneath it and began to climb. There was a terrible looking spot where Charlotte realized they weren’t properly facing the camera, moved the ladder 90 degrees and began to climb, and Tamina just crawled under it so she was “pinned” again. As Charlotte reached the briefcase Tamina lifted the ladder from underneath and set her flying into Carmella.
Natalya and Becky worked together to put down Snuka with a double powerbomb. Nattie took out Lynch and put Carmella in the Sharpshooter to take out her legs, but Charlotte broke it up with a superkick. She hit Carmella with Natural Selection and then brawled into the crowd with Charlotte for some reason. James Ellsworth came out from the crowd and threw Carmella into the ring, setting up a ladder and began to climb! Becky Lynch recovered and knocked over the ladder, crotching Ellsworth on the top rope. She set up the ladder but was caught by Carmella who sent her down hard on her knee, possibly creating an injury. Becky tried to climb but her knee wouldn’t hold up, and Carmella blasted her with a steel chair over and over again. She climbed the ladder, got to the briefcase, and took it down! //
Winner and Ms. Money in the Bank: Carmella

– Natalya, Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Tamina Snuka were all backstage complaining about James Ellsworth ruining the first ever Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match on Sunday. Daniel Bryan walked in and listened to their issues before saying that he wanted to hear what Carmella and Ellsworth had to say before he made any decisions.
– Daniel Bryan and Sami Zayn are backstage talking about how awesome his sunset flip off the ladder was on Sunday. Bryan tells him he’s in action next week against Baron Corbin. Becky Lynch walks up and cuts an empassioned promo
As we head into the final quarter of Smackdown, general manager Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring to a great reaction. He says he’s happy to be back but wishes it were under better circumstances. Bryan says he’s been with Shane McMahon and the Board of Directors trying to figure out what to do about this Women’s Money in the Bank controversy, and says he was instructed to keep his emotions out of the decision-making and stick to the WWE Rulebook. He brings out all five of the women who competed in Sunday’s ladder match.
After all the ladies make their way to the ring, Bryan says he listened to the opinions of all the women and he’s come to a decision. He says Money in the Bank matches are No DQ and there’s nothing in the rulebook that says someone else can’t climb the ladder and give it to someone else; it’s the first woman who holds the briefcase that is the winner. He brings up that there has been outside interference in previous MITB matches, but they are in uncharted territory. James Ellsworth cuts him off and tells him to hurry up and make a decision, because apparently being at home raising terrible little hippy vegan babies has played with his head. Bryan fires up and tells Ellsworth that if he ever mentions his baby girl again he’ll punch him in the face so hard he won’t be able to breath, and he’ll fire him on the spot. Huge pop from the crowd.
Carmella is offended and asks Bryan who he thinks he is talking to them that way. All the women go around cutting each other off and making fun of the way Ellsworth looks. Bryan tells them all to stop, because he’s made a decision. He says that Carmella made history by becoming the first women to win the Money in the Bank…and she’ll be the first women to hand over the Money in the Bank. Bryan takes the briefcase and announces that next week, there will be a redo of the Money in the Bank ladder match between all five women.
Bryan leaves with the briefcase and all the women immediately start brawling. Natalya and Tamina Snuka get thrown from the ring and Charlotte lays out Carmella with Natural Selection. Becky Lynch puts her in the Disarmher and Carmella flails around crying and screaming as James Ellsworth freaks out from the outside.
