"How many of you came to ride or die with the Last Real Good Guy?!" Sami Zayn exclaimed as he addressed the fans in Denver.

Cue the boos.

"Not gonna lie, that reaction was a little disappointing."

He claimed he had been met with equality and respect by his peers and that the WWE Championship is proof that he is a survivor.

Raw's Je'Von Evans interrupted, drawing a big ovation. He apologized for cutting Zayn off and posed the question: What if his time is not in the future? What if it is now?

He told the heel that he is coming for the title and when he wins Money in the Bank, Michael Cole will announce him as the new champion.

Penta interrupted next and staked his claim to the Money in the Bank win and cash-in on Zayn. Or Roman Reigns.

A video package featuring Damian Priest in various locations across New York City was narrated by The Archer of Infamy, who dared R-Truth to test him.

He claimed the pain he caused Truth was personal, but he will be happy to beat him up the next time he comes around professionally.

The heels built on their momentum with Saints beating down Axiom and cutting him off from the rest of his team. He clawed at the mask, even attempting to humiliate the competitor.

Erik tagged in and used his size and strength advantage momentarily but Axiom created separation. He overcame more from Saints and Erik before tagging Fenix into the match.

The cruiserweight champion took the fight to the competition and Fraxiom joined in on the flurry of offense.

With Axiom and Nathan Frazer wiping Erik and Saints out on the arena floor, Fenix attempted a headscissors from the ropes. He eventually delivered it, but Saints tagged himself in and delivered a Rochambeau for the pinfall victory.

WINNER: SAINTS AND THE WAR RAIDERS

A fun, energetic trios match, this established Saints as a challenger to Fenix. Not a bad way to eat up some TV time.

Backstage, Trick Williams laughed off Cody Rhodes' claims of a Money in the Bank win and said his time is now.

One week after a backstage confrontation between the two, AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix and Ricky Saints stood across the squared circle from each other in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.

The babyfaces overcame an early onslaught by the heels, fired up, and had them reeling.

An unfortunate flub by Fenix as he took to the air halted the momentum of the match and left the babyfaces reeling entering the timeout.

Commercial break.

Backstage, Nikki Bella interrupted Chelsea Green, naming Stratton as her pick to win Money in the Bank.

He arrogantly tapped herself as the next WWE women's champion until Paige arrived on the scene. She told her former friend that, to get a shot at the title, she had to go through her.

She ended the confrontation with a slap, leaving Bella in dismay.

After the break, Paxley delivered a German suplex to LeRae but ate a handstand stunner from Stratton.

The former WWE Women's and United States champion delivered an Alabama Slam to LeRae, then added a Swanton, but Paxley rocked Stratton with a kick to break up a pin attempt.

Paxley delivered Cemetery Drive to her fellow babyface, but LeRae tossed her to the floor. The raven-haired competitor re-entered the ring and broke up the pin.

She delivered a big 450 splash, but Stratton followed with a moonsault to both her and LeRae, then covered the latter to cash her ticket to Money in the Bank.

WINNER: STRATTON

A fun, energetic match with some creative spots and a strong finish. It would have been nice to see Paxley head to New Orleans, but Stratton is a bigger star and has been, arguably, underused.

Former Miss Money in the Bank, Stratton, made her way to the ring for the high-stakes three-way showdown at the top of this week's show, drawing a big reaction while doing so.

LeRae entered next and Paxley joined the fray next, looking to earn her biggest main roster victory yet.

The Poison Pixie started quickly, using inventive offense to down both of her opponents. The babyfaces fought back, and the action picked up exponentially, with a series of near-falls and close calls that culminated in Paxley delivering a moonsault from the ring apron and wiping both women out on the floor.

Commercial break.

A video package recapped last week's marquee match-up that saw CM Punk defeat Gunther and Finn Balor to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match on October 10.

Kevin Owens and his eclectic collection of pro wrestling shirts (including Solo Sikoa's new banger) arrived at the arena ahead of tonight's main event, Triple Threat Money in the Bank Ladder Match Qualifying Match against Cody Rhodes and Johnny Gargano.
