– WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring to a big pop. Samantha Irvin does the introduction and fans begin singing as Rollins struts to the ring. The music stops and Rollins poses in the middle of the ring as fans keep singing. Rollins welcomes Baltimore to Monday Night Rollins. He then gives himself a grand intro as tonight’s host. The crowd sings some more.
Seth Rollins asks how sweet was Money In the Bank? He comments on how good the finish to The Bloodline Civil War was, mentions Damian Priest and IYO SKY winning briefcases, and says he just barely defeated Finn Balor to keep the title.
Rollins says SummerSlam is about five weeks away and there’s only one thing on his mind… the music interrupts and here comes Cody Rhodes to a bigger pop. Cody stops on the stage and poses as the pyro explodes. Cody now marches to the ring with a smirk on his face as an angry-looking Rollins stares him down. Cody poses on the ring post as more pyro goes off. Fans chant “Cody!” now.
Cody says “So…” but the music interrupts and here comes Brock Lesnar to a huge pop. Lesnar is smiling and wearing his cowboy hat. Cody, who is no longer wearing his cast, rushes out of the ring and meets Lesnar on the aisle. They start brawling. Lesnar and Rhodes brawl down to ringside, and then into the ring.
The fight goes on until Cody Rhodes blocks the F5 and nails a Cody Cutter from out of nowhere to a big pop, sending Lesnar to the floor to recover. Fans chant “Cody!” as his music starts back up. Brock Lesnar is no longer smiling as he looks up at Cody in the ring. Cody stands tall and stares back out at Brock Lesnar.
– We see what just happened with Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar. Rollins is still in the ring now. He says that was a crazy way to start the show and them boys must have unfinished business, but Rollins is looking forward to his own business. The music interrupts and here comes The Judgment Day – WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest with his Money In the Bank briefcase.
Ripley takes the mic and says we’ve heard enough about Rollins, we all know everyone is here to see The Judgment Day. Rollins points to how the group isn’t even complete as Finn Balor isn’t here. Rollins says Balor won’t be able to do one of his sneak attacks tonight. Ripley says Finn is fine but Rollins shouldn’t worry what he’s doing. They enter the ring and Priest warns that Rollins should worry about his Money In the Bank briefcase, not The Judgment Day’s business.
Damian Priest teases a cash-in at SummerSlam, maybe Survivor Series or Royal Rumble, or maybe after he beats Shinsuke Nakamura tonight. Rollins says to cash in, Priest has to have the champ down and Rollins is feeling fresh, he has no match tonight and was planning to go party with Baltimore. Priest says before fans sing, he will make Rollins useless… don’t you like to fight?
Damian Priest goes on and says someone next to him will beat Seth Rollins tonight. Rhea Ripley says she’s already defending against Natalya but Dom Dom is looking for a fight. Fans respond with huge boos. Dom goes to speak but the boos drown him out. Rollins tells Dominik to try again. The boos shut him down. Rollins laughs and we get a “you suck!” chant.
Ripley says Dirty Dom wants to fight Rollins tonight. Rollins says he’s a Money In the Bank expert and this sounds like a poor attempt at a trap but he wants nothing more than to slap the mustache off Dominik’s face, so he’s going to let fans decide. Rollins asks if fans want to see Sexy Seth beat the brakes off Dirty Dom, and they do. Rollins says Dominik now has his answer, he will see you punks later. Rollins exits the ring.

– We go back to the ring and here comes an angry Ronda Rousey. She hits the ring and goes to speak but the music interrupts and out comes Shayna Baszler.
Baszler is fired up. She says she speak for us all when she says we’re tired of hearing Rousey try to speak on the mic. Rousey asks why this after 10 years of loyalty. It means nothing? Rousey tells her to come in the ring and explain why. Rousey says Baszler owes her that. Baszler asks, I owe you? Baszler calls Rousey a narcissist and says she is the only Rousey is in a WWE ring.
Baszler says she owes everyone an apology for bringing Rousey into this business. Rousey asks why didn’t Baszler say something before they built something and became champions. Shayna, from the apron, goes on yelling about how Rousey wasn’t there for her come-up in the business and on the indie. Baszler says she paid her dues while Rousey just walked into WrestleMania. Baszler loves this business but Rousey has ruined it for her. Baszler says she does owe Rousey… a shocking reality that someone here, Baszler, can finally shut Rousey up.
Baszler tosses the mic and they have a staredown. Rousey runs and kicks Baszler off the apron to the floor. Rousey brings it back in but Baszler ducks and applies a choke from behind. Baszler slams her and applies the ankle lock to a pop and a “Tap!” chant. Rousey breaks free and goes to crawl under the ropes but Baszler pulls her back. Baszler with a sliding knee to stun Rousey. Baszler’s music starts up as she leaves. Rousey yells for her to come back because this is not done. Rousey yells for Baszler to get back as this is far from done.

– We see some highlights from the Women’s Money In the Bank Ladder Match. Becky Lynch is shown walking at backstage.
– We get a new vignette on Bronson Reed. Reed, in a suit and shades, says he got where he is because of fear. He hurts those who disrespect him, and he breaks his challengers because that’s how to keep things in order. Reed goes on and says he’s a nice guy… but everyone who sits down at a banquet of consequence has to face him as he is inescapable.
– Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring. She says she didn’t win at Money In the Bank but she can get over that, but what she cannot move on from just yet is this squeaky little thorn in her side – WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Lynch says what better place to end it than in Baltimore. Fans pop. Lynch calls Stratus out, and here she comes with Zoey Stark. Stratus is wearing a protective face mask. Lynch laughs and says her face looks stupid.
Triah Stratus says even with the mask she’s still prettier than all of you fans, and Lynch. She says you people need a mask like this to hide your ugliness. Stratus says she would say yes to Lynch’s challenge but she’s not medically cleared because Lynch broke her face. Trish says no one is better than her, even Becky. She says one day Stark might be as good under her guidance, but right now Trish is the greatest of all-time.
Becky Lynch recalls how Stark had to help Trish beat her. Lynch goes on and says Stark has to go through her if she wants to get that good. Lynch turns the insults up and says we all know Trish won’t be here much longer after she’s done plugging her crappy talent show, her local magazine cover, or whatever cheap t-shirt she’s pushing. Lynch asks Trish why is she still here.
Stratus says she’s still here because she’s the face of the division she gave relevancy to. Stratus says Lynch hated it when she would see people backstage thank Trish. Stratus says the irony is not lost on her – Lynch tried to break the face of the face of the division, so now Stark will break Lynch’s face. Stratus and Stark go to run down as Lynch readies. They quickly put the brakes on and Stratus says nevermind, she has a medical appointment to get to so they have to leave this dump Baltimore, but Lynch should keep her calendar open next week for Stark.
