We begin tonight’s show with a video package for Memorial Day.
We are live from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO, and we see Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman smiling in the back. Paul says they should make their way to the ring as Brock picks up his briefcase/boom box.
In the Arena:
Kofi Kingston makes his way to the ring. We see what happened to Kofi Kingston on last week’s Smackdown.
Kofi says last week on Smackdown, Kevin Owens took out Big E and reinjured his knee. After his match, you saw what Dolph Ziggler did. Dolph brutalized him in and out of the ring and he tried to end Kofi. Kofi says that Dolph did not finish the job because he is standing tall. When the time is right, he will address Dolph Ziggler. Tonight, Kofi says he is here for Mr. Money in the Bank. Paul Heyman said that Brock chooses his opponent tonight. Kofi says he is not only a fighting champion and one of the greatest of all time and that happens if he can beat Brock Lesnar. Kofi wants Brock to come out and cash in his contract on him tonight.

Brock Lesnar’s music plays and then we get a party mix as Brock goes full Radio Raheem to the ring.
Lesnar’s theme is quickly interrupted by music that sounds like 80’s hip-hop as Lesnar holds the briefcase to his ear to play off last week’s “Beastbox” boombox moment. The music continues playing, possibly for too long, as Lesnar enters the ring. It looks like production botched the music as The New Day’s music starts playing. Now they switch to Lesnar’s music. Definitely a botch that Heyman and Lesnar played off by dancing around. Then they go to Rollins’ music and he exits the ring for an awkward moment. Lesnar stares Kofi down now.
Heyman says that’s just like Rollins to pee on everyone’s parade. Heyman says they were going to announce Lesnar’s decision but Rollins ruined the Brock-party. The segment falls apart as Heyman indicates it’s over. Lesnar and Heyman go to leave with the briefcase still in-hand. Heyman says to blame Rollins, not them.

– We are back and Kofi helps Xavier in the ring.
Dolph comes back out to the stage and he has something to say. Dolph says he thought he knew Kofi but you have been wasting all of your time on Brock Lesnar cashing in his contract when you should have been worrying about him. In eleven days, you defend that WWE title against him. Dolph asks that Kofi does one thing. He wants Kofi to celebrate like you never have before for the next eleven days. Dolph says that Kofi is the best WWE Champion that he can remember. Every time he sees that title and Kofi, it reminds him that it should have been him.
Dolph says he admires Kofi. You have had two friends to watch your back every step of the way. Some people said you were no better than a B+ player, but Dolph says he defended Kofi. What happens when you don’t have that title? More specifically, what happens when I take that WWE Title from you? The millions of fans that look up to you since Day One? What happens to the fans when I take that title from you?
Dolph says it took a little bit longer than he wanted because at Wrestlemania, it should have been him. At Super Showdown, it will be him.

That explains how Roman Reigns was able to strike down the patriarch of the WWE. What type of human being strikes down another man’s father? Roman Reigns. Look at who Roman is representing. It goes back to the High Chief Peter Maivia. Then you have the Rock, the Headshrinkers and the Usos. The two most vicious were the Wild Samoans. Afa and Roman Reigns’ father, Sika.
