With all due respect, Heyman thinks Angle and the entire WWE Universe has it all wrong. Heyman goes on and says people think Lesnar is only focused on his UFC future but that’s not true as Lesnar loves being in WWE, loves being the Universal Champion.

Heyman says when Lesnar becomes the UFC Heavyweight Champion next time, he does it representing WWE as the Universal Champion, as a two-sport champion.

Fans chant “yes!” as McIntyre enters the ring now – the Universal Title. The music interrupts again and out comes Seth Rollins.

Rollins enters the ring and gets in McIntyre’s face as fans do the “burn it down” chant. Rollins says if Angle is looking for an opponent for Lesnar, he’s here. Out next comes Elias with his guitar.

Braun Strowman makes his entrance. He says when he sees that briefcase he gets motivated because he knows there’s a contract inside that guarantees him a Universal Championship shot any time, anywhere. At Money in the Bank he’s going to destroy seven other men, climb the ladder, and take the briefcase and not only be known as Mr. Money in the Bank, he’ll be Mr. Monster in the Bank.

And who’s going to stop him? Not the Miz, not Bobby Roode, not Finn Balor, not a single member of the New Day, nor Rusev, nor Kevin Owens. He’s gonna cash in and give Brock Lesnar These Hands!

Enter Finn Balor. He thinks Braun is getting ahead of himself, because he was the very first Universal Champion and he never lost that title. Honestly, that eats away at him every day and he’s determined to get back to the top. He’s gonna climb the ladder and take back what’s his. He and Strowman went one-on-one last week and he gave Braun everything he has, but at Money in the Bank there’ll be six other guys in the ring with them, every man for himself.

Enter Kurt Angle. He says they’re showing one of his favorite things, Intensity, one of his three I’s. Finn says he gave all he had against Braun, and it was incredible, so he’s booking it again tonight. Right now, in fact! He calls a referee down and we’re off!
