RAW

Monday Night RAW opens with The Miz and John Morrison already in the ring with a ladder for an episode of Miz TV.

The Miz welcomes us to the show and gloats about how he has won the Money In The Bank twice. He says he is an expert and he knows his partner in crime, Johnny drip-drip will be the next winner of the briefcase. Morrison concurs and calls himself “America’s Moist Wanted”. Miz introduces Drew McIntyre and the Scotsman talks as he walks down the ramp. Drew recalls Miz cashing-in on him after he’d won an Elimination Chamber, and after Lashley attacked him. Since then he’s been scraping and crawling to win his title back. Drew tells a story about being related to Davey Crockett and he likens himself to the man.

Ricochet is out next and Miz calls him rude and reckless. We see a replay of what Ricochet did to Morrison last week; hitting a springboard crossbody to Morrison atop the barricade. Miz says Ricochet got lucky because that stunt could have cost them both their careers. Ricochet says he’s still a little shook and so is Morrison but that was just a taste of what he’s willing to do to win the Money In The Bank. Morrison says we’ll see if Ricochet can back up his words later tonight.

Riddle comes down to the ring on his scooter. Ricochet climbs the ladder and sits on top. He says he’s really high and a little sad because his foot is sore from last week. He’s going to dedicate his performance in the ladder match to his best friend, Randy Orton. Drew says Riddle has been a good friend but Miz interrupts and says Drew is enabling him. AJ Styles and Omos interrupt proceedings and The Miz is furious. AJ says Miz doesn’t speak for everyone. He was robbed of his chance to be in the MITB last week. He says it should have been one-on-one between him and McIntyre but Riddle had to get in there.

Riddle says AJ looks cute down on the mat and asks Omos for a high five but the big man tips Riddle off the ladder and he lands on that injured ankle. Omos throws the ladder out of the ring and tensions rise between all seven men. Styles cheap shots Riddle’s ankle with a kick, then Ricochet shoves him. Morrison attacks Ricochet from behind as McIntyre stares down Omos and Styles. Ricochet tosses Morrison out of the ring and Omos climbs in but Drew clotheslines him right back out. Ricochet takes the drip stick and breaks it.
