In-Ring: The Miz, John Morrison, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Riddle, AJ Styles, Omos

The Miz and John Morrison are in the ring for Miz TV. Miz, still in his wheelchair, says he is a Money in the Bank expert, cashing it in twice. He will lead John Morrison to victory. Morrison says on July 18, Johnny Drip Drip will climb his way to the Money in the Bank contract.

Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring. McIntyre says Miz is what makes him have a love-hate relationship with Money in the Bank. Miz cashed in twice, the last time on him. Since then, he has scratched and clawed his way to the championship once again. McIntyre claims he is a distant relative of Davy Crockett. Unlike Crockett, he’s not going to die on the Alamo because he’ll win the contract in Texas. He hopes Morrison is extra moist so he can rip his head off and shove it up Miz’ ass.

Ricochet comes out. Miz says he could have waited for his introduction. Miz has a replay shown of Ricochet’s impressive cross-body block onto John Morrison over the barricade. Ricochet says he’ll claw through the competition to win the briefcase.

Riddle makes his way to the ring. His right ankle is taped up from the main event of Raw last week. Riddle climbs up the ladder set up in the ring and sits on it. Miz asks what he’s doing. Riddle thinks this is what everyone is supposed to do on the Money in the Bank edition of Miz TV. Riddle says he’s really high and a little sad because he let his bro, Randy Orton, down. Miz is getting really frustrated.

Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos come down to the ring. Styles is upset because he feels he got robbed in the match. Randy Orton dropped out of the match last week, so it should have been Styles versus Drew McIntyre, but no, it had to be a triple threat match. Riddle lost that match, but he didn’t belong anyway. Omos tips the ladder over, and Riddle lands on his injured ankle.

Styles kicks Riddle in his ankle, and a brawl breaks out. Ricochet sends Morrison out of the ring. Omos angrily gets in the ring, but McIntyre clotheslines him out. Ricochet dropkicks Morrison off the apron and breaks a Drip Stick.
