Finn Balor was denied a win over Brawn Strowman last week when Kevin Owens interfered and and prevented him from hitting his opponent with a second Coup de Grace. On Monday night, Balor exacted revenge on Owens and provided what has to be a preview to the Money in the Bank match. Owens was dominant in the beginning, targeting Balor’s arm. Balor did make his way back but Owens managed to get him hanging at the corner and started putting his boots through him, leading the referee to pull him away.
Owens then brought out the ladder and proceeded to symbolically snatch the Money in the Bank briefcase but ended up attempting to hit Balor with a Frog Splash from the rungs. That turned out to be a mistake as Balor ended up pulling Owens down and knocking him out by smashing his head on the ladder. He then performed a Coup de Grace from the rungs and went on to symbolically collect the Money in the Bank briefcase.
