Giulia was impressive in her debut match and dominated both Charlotte Flair and Zelina Vega.
Zelina Vega had a brief moment during the match where she took control of the match, but such is the nature of a triple threat; there is always a fresh opponent to ruin your momentum. Charlotte Flair then took down Giulia and held Zelina Vega in a Figure 8. Zelina would have tapped out, but Giulia performed a stomp from the third rope on the surgically repaired knee of Charlotte Flair. She then delivered a Northern Light Bomb to Zelina and won the match, and became the fourth woman to qualify for the Money in the Bank.

Nick Aldis and his officials stopped the brawl and announced a tag team match between Michin and B-Fab and The Secret Championship.
Michin and B-Fab dominated the match, but each time they were about to win, Chelsea Green tried to create a distraction from the outside. This gave Piper Niven and Alba Fyer to come back in the match. She was trying another interruption, but Zelina Vega attacked her outside, and B-Fab neutralized Piper Niven. Michin delivered an Eat-Da-Feat to Alba Fyer, and B-Fab followed it with a modified Neck Breaker to score the victory.

Big Jim and Rey Fenix were so synced that the crowd was served with some of the best aerial moves from Rey Fenix courtesy of Jimmy Uso.
Big Jim delivered a superkick to JC Mateo and followed it up with a spear and got ready for the Uso Splash.
