The two members of the Riott Squad worked together to go after both Natalya and Dana Brooke; Morgan going for the first cover on Natalya after an elevated face crusher from the top rope. Natalya fights Morgan and sets her sight on Logan, taking her down with a snap suplex. Morgan gets back involved but Natalya stays in control, connecting a basement dropkick on Morgan. Brooke begins to take on the Riott Squad but rolls out of the ring after Morgan takes her out with an enziguri.

When Morgan and Logan came face to face in the middle of the ring, they share a laugh and began to taunt Natalya. They continued their punishment with continuous double team attack. They whip Natalya to the ropes but she ducks an incoming clothesline. Brooke pulls Morgan to the outside where the two end up taking each other out with a double clothesline.
Back in the ring, Natalya turns her attention to Logan, taking her down with a Russian Leg Sweep. As she begins to set up for the Sharpshooter, Riott tries to get involved but Natalya fights her off. When Natalya turns around, she is hit with a running knee shot from Logan, nearly getting a three count but Brooke was able to make the save.

Logan sends Brooke back to the outside after driving her shoulder first to the ring post. Natalya hits the discus lariat on Logan and locks in the Sharpshooter for the win.

Post-match, Natalya says Money in the Bank will be a big night as she predicts that she will win the Ladder match and that her good friend Ronda Rousey will win the Raw Women’s Championship at the same PPV.
Natalya now joins Ember Moon, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch for this year’s MITB Ladder Match.
Tomorrow’s SmackDown Live will see two qualifying MITB matches as Lana squares off against Billie Kay and Naomi goes one-on-one with Sonya Deville.
