– WWE Champion Kofi Kingston comes out to the ring with a plate full of pancakes. Kofi gets on the mic and talks about Dolph Ziggler attacking him from behind last week. Kofi says he’s not here for Ziggler through, he’s here for Mr. Money In The Bank, Brock Lesnar. Universal Champion Seth Rollins comes out to the ring next, and he also calls out Lesnar. Brock and Paul Heyman come out to the ring, and Brock’s briefcase is done up like a boombox. Brock has different entrance music tonight and he dances into the ring. He’s wearing a shirt that says “Brock Party,” and then he apparently plays Kofi and Seth’s entrance songs at them from the boombox, and Heyman plays air guitar. Seth leaves. Heyman says it’s just like Rollins to pee on everybody’s parade. Heyman says Lesnar was about to announce who he would challenge, but Rollins ruined it for everyone. Heyman and Brock leave, then Dolph Ziggler attacks Kofi from behind. Ziggler hits the Zig Zag on Kofi on the ramp, then he grabs a steel chair. Xaiver Woods comes out for the save and chases off Ziggler.
– Back from the break, Woods and Ziggler are still brawling on the stage, as referees help walk Kofi to the back. Kofi and Ziggler brawl into the crowd. They fight back to ringside and Ziggler repeatedly nails Woods with a steel chair. Ziggler continues the assault on Wood until Kofi comes back out for the save. Ziggler runs away, and Kofi helps Woods to his feet in the ring. Ziggler appears on the stage, and tells Kofi he needs to worry about Ziggler and not Lesnar. Ziggler calls Kofi a great champion, but says the opportunity should have gone to Ziggler. Ziggler says at Super Show Down he will take what belongs to him from Kofi, the WWE Title.
– We see various members of the WWE roster having a Memorial Day party in a big white tent in the parking lot of the Sprint Center. The Usos appear to be the hosts of the party, and they get on the mics and say welcome to the “Uso block party.”
– Shane McMahon is backstage in his ring gear warming up. He’s joined by Drew McIntyre, and they head out to the ring together. They come out to the stage, but then they turn around and head to the back again.
– Back from the break, we see a video package looking at the history between Randy Orton and Triple H, leading up to their match at the Super Show Down.
– Shane and Drew come back out to the ring, and Shane gets on the mic. Shane cuts a promo about his match with Roman Reigns at Super Show Down, and he talks about the Samon wrestling dynasty including The Rock and Yokozuna. He talks about knowing Afa and Sika and growing up around them. Shane says his father Vince was there to clean up Afa and Sika’s mistakes.
– Shane McMahon vs. Lance Anoai: Back from the break, we’re told Lance is a cousin of Roman Reigns. Before the opening bell, Drew beats down Lance. Drew hits a belly to belly overhead suplex on Lance at ringside. Shane tells Drew to relax, but Drew pulls of Lance’s shirt and chops him across the chest. Drew throws Lance in the ring, then Shane orders the ref to ring the opening bell. The bell sounds and Shane starts teeing off on Lance with strikes. Lance comes back with a kick to Shane’s head, and it looked stiff. Shane comes back with a spinning elbow, then he pummels on Lance on the mat. Shane applies a choke, and Lance taps out.
Winner: Shane McMahon
– After the match, Shane talks trash to Lance and Drew beats him down. Roman Reigns comes out for the save. Reigns drops Drew, then he chases Shane out to ringside. Reigns hits the Superman punch on Shane at ringside.
– Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar come back out to the ring. He starts talking about who Lesnar will choose to challenge, but then Seth Rollins comes out to interrupt. Seth challenges Brock right now, and calls Brock a coward hiding behind Heyman. Heyman speaks up and reads from Brock’s Money In The Bank contract. Heyman mentions that Brock has one year to make his challenge, and Brock is not happy. Brock takes the contract and smacks Paul across the face with it, and they argue. Brock takes the mic from Paul and tells Rollins he has a whole year to decide, so “screw you” Seth Rollins. Brock and Heyman leave and head to the back.
So, you’re saying @BrockLesnar has A YEAR to cash in his #MITB contract?
