During this Monday’s Raw, Ricochet and Shinsuke Nakamura became the first qualifiers for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Last night, Ricochet defeated The Miz in the first qualifying match.
Despite The Miz’s showing, the “A-Lister” was not able to overcome the capabilities of the “One and Only“, which ended up achieving victory after a Shooting Star Press.

The qualifying matches will continue on next Monday’s SmackDown, in which LA Knight will face Montez Ford.
Already in an interview backstage after Raw, Shinsuke Nakamura made it clear that he returned to the ring to become world champion:
WWE has changed my life a lot. This opportunity, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, will change my life again. This is the first step towards the world title. I came to WWE to be world champion. I never forgot about it. I’m going to be champion anyway, using the Money in the Bank suitcase.
