Knight and Escobar then ganged up on Knight early in the bout. Paul turned on Escobar and dumped him out of the ring. Knight rallied and took the fight to Paul. Paul then slammed Knight and took control. He dove onto Knight at ringside, but Escobar answered with a dive of his own. Knight then rallied, but Escobar hit him with a hurricanrana. Knight fired up again and slammed Paul.

With the win, Knight joined Jey Uso, Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, and Chad Gable in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
