Bengaluru, June 25: En route to Money in the Bank 2022 edition, Smackdown added a number of superstars to the ladder match fray via a set of qualifying matches including the main event.
WWE Intercontinental Championship was on the line on the show while Smackdown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey was in attendance to engage in a verbal war with her next challenger.
Check out the recap and results from the June 24 episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown that took place at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas:
– Drew McIntyre kicked things off by saying that he will win the Money In The Bank contract and then cash in on Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar after Summerslam to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, and Butch) interrupted. Sheamus said Drew is in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match just because WWE Official Adam Pearce felt sorry for him.
Paul Heyman (with Adam Pearce) interrupted to make a big announcement and it’s that Drew and Sheamus are no longer in the Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match but they’ll get another chance to qualify.
Drew and Sheamus will have to compete against The Usos in the main event and if they can manage to defeat the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, they will be put back into the MITB match.
So as of now, @DMcIntyreWWE and @WWESheamus are OUT of #MITB.
