Bobby Lashley and Titus O’Neil started out this big gauntlet match, and Lashley quickly won with a spear. Akira Tozawa showed up to face Lashley, and The All Mighty destroyed him very quickly with a spear as well. Shelton Benjamin was next and they wrestled for a bit longer, but Benjamin was pinned after a spear as well.

Humberto Carrillo was next and Bobby Lashley was eventually DQ’ed because he didn’t listen to the referee. Lashley destroyed Carrillo for good measure before he left. Humberto Carrillo’s cousin Angel Garza was next. After a longer bout, Garza was pinned before Austin Theory came out to face Humberto Carrillo next.

Austin Theory took advantage of Humberto Carrillo for a while, but Carrillo eventually pinned him. Then the biggest surprise of the night took place.

AJ Styles returned to action and he took on an already weakened Humberto Carrillo. Styles eventually won with a Calf Crusher and claimed his spot in this Sunday’s Money In The Bank ladder match.

After the match, Styles proved that he’s still a heel and he wrapped Carrillo’s leg around the ring post a few times. He also cut a promo that included a threat to throw someone off WWE HQ during the match.

Now the 2020 Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match is AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan vs Aleister Black vs Rey Mysterio vs King Corbin vs Otis.
