00:00The following is the SmackDown Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
00:19The only way to win is to climb the ladder.
00:22Take possession of the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:25Inside the briefcase is a contract for a guaranteed World Heavyweight Championship match any time, any place for up to one year.
00:37In the ring from Ghana, West Africa, laying at 221 pounds, is the Intercontinental Champion, Kobe Kingston.
00:47Kobe Kingston in his third Money in the Bank Ladder Match and of course it's about that guaranteed contract in the briefcase.
00:53You can cash in any place, any time, for up to a year.
00:57From Hollywood, Florida, weighing in at 223 pounds, Dol Ziggler.
01:02Second time he's been in Money in the Bank.
01:04Well, many people are questioning Dol Ziggler's relationship with the official consultant to the General Manager SmackDown,
01:10Vicky Guerrero, and how that will factor into this contest.
01:15I wonder what's going through that young man's mind as he prepares for the opportunity of a lifetime.
01:21I'll tell you what's going through his mind, he realizes that if he gets his hands on that briefcase, he's gonna be a champion.
01:26And now to Canada, weighing in at 227 pounds, Christian.
01:30That striker, this is Christian's fourth Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:34That's the reason I believe he's the favorite to win this.
01:36Many people call Christian a pioneer of the ladder match experience.
01:40There is nothing that Christian will stop at to realize his dream of becoming world's champion.
01:46Checking out all the peeps in the house.
01:51Marietta Giorgio, weighing in at 23 pounds, dashing Cody Rhodes.
02:01And his first Money in the Bank ladder match, does it help or hurt him?
02:05Well, it's narcissism and ego, but Cody Rhodes' vanity may be a detriment.
02:10Will Cody Rhodes sacrifice that face to become world champion?
02:14We'll have to find out.
02:15And we have to mention, both Kofi Kingston and Cody Rhodes were the victim of attacks by
02:20the Nexus this past Tuesday night on NXT.
02:23So you gotta wonder what condition they're in physically.
02:25The beauty is here in me, then you watch the wheels go around.
02:31Yeah!
02:35I'm telling you, Carolina, playing in at 236 pounds.
02:40Matt Hardy!
02:42Hardy scored Money in the Bank ladder match, and
02:44who will ever forget the impassioned interview between him and Christian a couple of weeks ago
02:49about the importance of this match for both those individuals.
02:51Perhaps the sentimental favorite of many long-time members of the WWE Universe.
02:56Matt Hardy has told us that he is very comfortable taking risks.
03:00And high risk, high reward is what it's all about tonight.
03:03Well, you're right.
03:03Matt Hardy just looks natural.
03:05He looks at home.
03:07Climbing the ladder.
03:08Well, there's Scotland weighing at 256 pounds.
03:11Drew Merchant time.
03:13For the second time, The Chosen One enters the field of Money in the Bank.
03:17King, this is perhaps the most vicious competitor in this Money in the Bank ladder match.
03:23Look at the size of this guy.
03:24He may not even need a ladder.
03:26Traditionally, the Money in the Bank ladder match has been one of the highlights of WrestleMania.
03:31Now, it has a pay-per-view all its own.
03:34The first Money in the Bank ladder match came our way back in 2005 at WrestleMania 21.
03:40Oh!
03:45Weighing at 323 rounds, Kane!
03:49Now, Kane has been so focused on trying to find the attacker of his brother, The Undertaker.
03:54Can he be focused on this particular match?
03:57Kane's thirst for justice may impede or enhance Kane's quest to become world champion.
04:04For the fourth time, Kane enters the Money in the ladder match arena.
04:13That's a scary sight.
04:14Well, it's the Big Show!
04:20And standing seven feet tall, weighing at 485 pounds,
04:25The Big Show!
04:27This giant is the largest competitor in the history of the Money in the Bank ladder match.
04:35Well, the goal of this contest is to achieve an elevated height.
04:38That works in the giant's favor.
04:41And let's not forget, the tallest competitor to ever win a Money in the Bank ladder match
04:46stood six feet six inches tall.
04:48That was Jack Swagger.
04:49Could Swagger have set the precedent for the giant here tonight?
04:53Perhaps, but as we've learned in the past, size doesn't really matter.
04:56In the Money in the Bank ladder match.
04:59Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is a match that could cause a career breakthrough
05:04for many of these superstars.
05:06For others, take them to the next level.
05:09And for even more like the Big Show, perhaps give him the opportunity to win a sixth world championship.
05:16It is every man for himself the goal to climb the ladder and grab the Money in the Bank briefcase.
05:23And here we go.
05:24All eight competitors in the ring at the same time.
05:27Everyone focusing their attacks on the two largest superstars in this match,
05:32the giant as well as Kane.
05:34Yeah, but- Look at Cody.
05:35Someone's focused on the ladder.
05:37And Cody Rhodes.
05:38Dashing Cody Rhodes.
05:39Looking to take advantage early.
05:41I know that Cody ordered- And look at Rhodes.
05:43Ordered a mirrored covered briefcase.
05:45Ooh, hang on.
05:46And now the battle of the behemoths.
05:54Two veterans of WWE slugging it out.
06:01And the world's largest athlete, the Big Show with the first advantage.
06:05History has shown us that the Money in the Bank winner goes on to greatness.
06:09You're almost guaranteed to become world champion.
06:12Here we go.
06:12Look at this, this ladder may not hold the weight of the Big Show.
06:15Well, that didn't take long.
06:21What?
06:22It's gonna be a long night for the Big Show if this continues.
06:28And now Matt Hardy and Christian veterans of the ladder match.
06:32Flo and Kofi back in his way out.
06:34What's the Big Show gonna do?
06:38Well, he just cleared the ring.
06:43And for the first time in this matchup,
06:45an example of how to use the ladder as a weapon.
06:48And right across the head of Kane.
06:53Well, the briefcase is 20 feet over the ring.
06:56The giant is over seven feet tall.
06:59Looks like he's gonna go get his own personal ladder, Cole.
07:02Is that the ladder that we saw this past Friday night on SmackDown?
07:05Yes.
07:07Oh.
07:09Rhodes and Ziggler.
07:11And now Kingston and Matt Hardy.
07:13Believe me, all these seven competitors realize the threat the Big Show brings to
07:16this matchup.
07:20Big Show, it looks like the giant's right knee crashed into the steel steps.
07:23And his head into the ring post.
07:25That always.
07:26Made its way out onto the floor.
07:28No ladder set up in the ring, ladies and gentlemen.
07:30Guys, I'm gonna call you to task.
07:31Let's hear your picks.
07:32King, who's winning this?
07:34Well, until I saw that ladder collapse under his weight, Big Show was my favorite.
07:38But I think I gotta change my pick right now.
07:40Let me, give me a minute.
07:41Michael.
07:42I told you earlier, Christian, I believe it's Christian's time.
07:44As Drew McIntyre.
07:47This may change your pick right here, Michael.
07:49The Chosen One makes Christian pay.
07:52Man.
07:55Christian face first, courtesy of Drew McIntyre into that ladder.
07:59One, two, one, one.
08:01Now that Drew McIntyre spent the past couple of days watching tapes of past Money in the Bank
08:06ladder matches to gain strategy.
08:08Look at Matt Hardy, mentioned before, he's been in four of these particular matches.
08:15Drew McIntyre, a race to the top, and Matt Hardy stops him in his tracks.
08:20Story of rivalry between Matt Hardy and Drew McIntyre, dating all the way back to the
08:24WrestleMania Money in the Bank ladder match.
08:26And Matt Hardy, will it be his time?
08:28Matt Hardy, with nobody in his way, trying to climb to the top, trying to retreat.
08:32This could be one of the shortest, oh, wait a minute.
08:34And how apropos is this, that it would be Christian to thwart Matt Hardy's efforts.
08:42Christian the Daredevil, bold and audacious.
08:45Am I close to win this thing?
08:47Christian's there, he's the fingertip away.
08:49Two more steps, what, oh, he's there.
08:50And it's Matt Hardy this time playing defense.
08:53Keep in mind, the superstars must unhook the briefcase as it swings perilously above the ring.
08:58Another thing you gotta avoid, and I just saw it from both Christian and Matt Hardy.
09:05When you get pulled, you're gonna go.
09:06Whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:07Cody Rhodes.
09:08Cody Rhodes.
09:09He's trying to sneak his way into this thing.
09:11Kofi Kingston, and that high flying ability of Kingston.
09:14The unique leaping ability of Kofi Kingston makes Kofi a standout favorite in this contest.
09:20Notice how Christian and Matt Hardy using the ladders and weapons at ringside.
09:23Everybody getting a shot here, come on!
09:25Perhaps it's Kofi Kingston's turn.
09:28And Dolph Ziggler this time intercepts Kingston.
09:31Dolph Ziggler a standout at Kent State University will need all of his intellect right now.
09:38Yeah, but amateur background doesn't matter in this type of matchup.
09:41It's Dolph Ziggler gonna be in this time.
09:43He's there, he's there!
09:44Right there, swaying above the ring.
09:47He's got the hook!
09:47And Christian and Ziggler was almost there.
09:50All he had to do was unstep that briefcase and win this.
09:53Dolph Ziggler close to so far, now Christian with it, whoop!
09:57And look at Ziggler and Christian high above the ring.
10:00Look how high above the ring they are, that's the very precarious-
10:02And Christian now, it's Christian!
10:04And now Ziggler tries to reach for the briefcase, high drama!
10:08No way!
10:09And there's Dolph Ziggler!
10:10And Christian somehow retrieved the briefcase and win money in the bank here!
10:16That's the party!
10:23And dashing Cody Rhodes spreads it.
10:25You can hear that right hand.
10:26He ran right into the big right from Christian.
10:29It shows you the importance of the champion, the fame and the fortune.
10:34And talk about being champion, getting that- Uh-oh.
10:37That contract in that briefcase pretty much guarantees it.
10:40We know the mood that Kane's been in as of right, and Christian caught as well.
10:43Shane.
10:48Double DDT planting Kane.
10:50That's wise strategy, although it is every man for himself.
10:53And Matt, notice how the veterans of this match, Matt Hardy and Christian,
10:56have really taken control with this juncture.
10:59Take a look here, a long way down for Dolph Ziggler courtesy of Christian.
11:04But it shows you the sacrifice once again to be world's champion.
11:09And look at this now!
11:10Matt Hardy and Christian working in unison.
11:12A ladder sandwich.
11:13And now against one another.
11:15Uh-oh.
11:21Don't turn around, Christian.
11:22You're not gonna like it, though.
11:23Going for the twist of fate is Matt Hardy.
11:24Can he counter it up?
11:25Nope.
11:26Christian does, however.
11:27Matt Hardy's bicep hit the rung of that ladder.
11:33These ladders are made of steel.
11:35Imagine what it feels like.
11:36Whoa, look at this.
11:38Completely illegal in the Money in the Matt ladder range.
11:42What?
11:43Christian standing with all his weight right on the back of Matt Hardy's head.
11:49Christian again positioning the ladder.
11:53That must climb to the top, must retrieve the briefcase.
11:56That's a much shorter ladder.
11:58And notice that- Whoa.
11:59Yeah, but he was an arm's length away.
12:00And now it's Cody Rhodes.
12:02And Big Show taking that again.
12:04Big Show just can't get out on the blocks.
12:06Come on, Cody, come on.
12:07I like to notice the position of the ladders.
12:12How the superstars set it up based on how the briefcase is swinging.
12:18And Cody Rhodes.
12:19Beautiful disaster by Cody Rhodes.
12:21And Kingston.
12:22Over the paradise.
12:23Connecting.
12:24And Matt Hardy looking for the twist of fate.
12:27And Kane's taken at it again.
12:29Six of the eight competitors focusing on the two biggest men in this matchup.
12:33Kane and the Big Show.
12:34Took three huge moves to get Kane off his feet.
12:38But he's down momentarily.
12:40I don't think that this ladder.
12:42I don't think these guys are even gonna reach it if they get to the top of that ladder.
12:45Well, Cody's not gonna reach it if Cody Rhodes keeps this up.
12:48A pretty good showing for himself.
12:50And this is his first ever Money in the Bank ladder match.
12:53Watch this as Christian.
12:57I don't know who got the worst of that, but it would have been disastrous for
13:00Christian if he hadn't landed on the Big Show.
13:02It's Matt Hardy and Cody Rhodes' exchange he blows.
13:05Top of the ladder.
13:06What would it mean for Matt Hardy over a dozen years?
13:08Look out, look out, look out, look out.
13:10Or Drew McIntyre.
13:13The chosen one would like nothing more than to win the Money in the Bank contract.
13:18Got shoulder first into the steel post and Cody Rhodes' foul suit as well.
13:23And Drew McIntyre has cleared the ring and given himself a great opportunity.
13:26Take a look here, Drew McIntyre, the sinister Scotsman setting up a perfect opportunity.
13:31And look at the carnage around the ring now.
13:33And Drew McIntyre.
13:35Everyone down except McIntyre.
13:37There's Dolph Ziggler back in.
13:38Yeah, great defense played again by Dolph Ziggler.
13:41McIntyre.
13:44The thing is guys, you don't know how the ladders are gonna respond.
13:46How are they gonna react when you press them against the canvas?
13:49How are they gonna react when you open them?
13:50Look at that determined look at Drew McIntyre's face by now.
13:55He's floored by Kane.
13:56And in Big Show's case, how the ladders gonna react when you try to climb it.
14:00And look at Kane right out in front of us here.
14:02With a nasty, nasty look in his eyes.
14:06Let's not forget that Kane has been in such a deranged state after finding his brother,
14:12The Undertaker, rendered incapacitated over the Memorial Day weekend.
14:16Well, Kane may be thinking of taking somebody out and injuring them.
14:20Will they never be able to carry a ladder?
14:22And maybe he's looking to make an example of Drew McIntyre here.
14:27And McIntyre desperately trying to fight back.
14:31This action fast and furious.
14:34That kick just about collapsed the jaw of Drew McIntyre.
14:39And Kane is running rough shot over everyone at ringside.
14:43Kane is, I mean, he's literally snapped.
14:45I thought he was gonna go after you, Michael.
14:46The man who's been so conflicted and unbalanced over recent weeks.
14:50And Kofi takes it over the ladder into the face of Kane.
14:54That was precision.
14:57On that slide, that sliding drop kick by Kofi.
15:00But now focuses his attack on McIntyre.
15:03Kofi and Drew McIntyre had had a heated and tense rivalry over the Intercontinental Championship.
15:08Trouble in Paradise.
15:12Did you hear that?
15:13No, baby.
15:14A thunderous kick to the back of the head.
15:16Go, Kofi.
15:23Yeah, go.
15:24What's this young man gonna do here?
15:32Well, we are looking right into the eyes of Kofi Kingston.
15:35I know, and I like the look on his face.
15:36Yeah, it was a look that we've never seen before out of this young man.
15:41As Kofi Kingston.
15:42He's climbing a ladder that's not in the ring.
15:44Looks to make a mark at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
15:50Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait.
15:51I'm changing my mind, Kofi.
15:52Don't do this.
15:53Kofi Kingston to the top of that ladder.
15:56So high above the floor.
15:59McIntyre's in trouble, he hasn't moved.
16:01No, Kofi, do not do this.
16:02Move.
16:04Kofi, don't take that.
16:05Boom drop.
16:07My God.
16:09The boom drop from the top of the ladder through the table.
16:13Gentlemen, you can't manufacture passion.
16:16That's a Money in the Bank moment for Kofi Kingston.
16:19But at what cost?
16:22This may be the end of the Money in the Bank ladder match for both these guys.
16:26Watch this, unbelievable.
16:29My God.
16:34McIntyre's entire chest, his ribs have got to be crushed.
16:37What about Kingston?
16:38The way he awkwardly felt through that table.
16:41The back of his head hitting the edge of the announce table.
16:43But while this is going on, Dolph Ziggler's all alone inside the ring.
16:46Ziggler climbing the ladder.
16:47Nobody's home except Dolph Ziggler.
16:50Ziggler could win Money in the Bank.
16:51Come on.
16:51He could steal one here.
16:53Unhook it.
16:53But there's Big Show, Big Show.
16:55The seven-footer.
16:56Ziggler!
16:58Ziggler!
17:00Look out!
17:03Did you see Big Show with those big mitts catching Ziggler in midair?
17:06Kane!
17:09Is Kane gonna be able to do this?
17:11Is he gonna be able to somehow choke slam the 485 pound?
17:13I don't think so.
17:15There has never been a giant in a Money in the Bank ladder match.
17:21Well, there is now.
17:23And Kane sandwiched.
17:27Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, it's like a tumble running into you.
17:34Big Show collapsing the ladder on Kane.
17:37And look at, Nat Hardy and Christian in unison once again, and every time Big Show starts to
17:49muster some offense.
17:50Uh-oh, well, and then it's going too soon.
17:53The strength of the five-time world champion.
17:58It's like superhuman strength from the Giant.
18:01The Giant literally sacrificing his own rib cage to crush two competitors.
18:15Take a look here.
18:16The Giant saving this match.
18:18Catch and dive, Ziggler!
18:24It's important to point out that the Giant is wearing a brace on his left knee.
18:28How that will impact his ability to climb remains to be seen.
18:31I think the only thing impacted his ability to climb is those ladders.
18:34Yeah, don't forget the ankle lock that Big Show had suffered in the hands of
18:37Jack Swagger a couple of weeks ago.
18:39All right.
18:40Now I think we're gonna see it.
18:41There it is.
18:45My lord.
18:46It is a reinforced, specially designed ladder for the Giant.
18:51What does that thing weigh?
18:52Weighs 350 pounds.
18:54That's more than Kane.
18:57And apparently, as he explained to us on SmackDown Friday night,
19:00it can hold upwards to a ton.
19:02Now, Matt, I did some measuring before this matchup, some calculating.
19:06Yes.
19:06The eight men in this match are a combined 2,200 pounds.
19:10So this ladder can hold almost every single competitor in this match at the same time.
19:14Or one Giant.
19:15I was about to say, how in the world will the Big Show get that ladder inside the ring?
19:21But who's gotta stand it up?
19:23Over 350 pounds, can he?
19:26I don't know if those ropes can take it.
19:29Look at Big Show, he's a 350 pounds.
19:34I mean, the man's a giant, but.
19:37Well, that ladder's just so awkward, it's hard to be, yeah, look at that, look, look, look.
19:43Giant might be better served to go out onto the floor and put, or not.
19:47I don't know.
19:51The universe getting behind the Giant.
19:59That ladder's a little more than he bargained for, I think.
20:01Big Show doing what he can, and here we go.
20:04He's gonna work as a fulcrum, very, very smart.
20:08Some giant ingenuity.
20:10And with the other seven competitors screwed across the floor and ringside,
20:14Big Show's opportunity is here and now.
20:18Look at that ladder.
20:22Can it get it set up?
20:23It's a monstrosity.
20:26It holds up to a ton of humanity.
20:29And it's almost the width of half the ring.
20:31Galvanized steel.
20:33And Big Show has a position right underneath the briefcase.
20:37And Big Show, and look at Cody Rhodes.
20:39Watch it, watch it.
20:40That's like a step ladder.
20:41See?
20:41Right at his ankle.
20:42That's right, focuses the attack on the perhaps injured left leg of the Giant.
20:46Yeah, we may mention a couple of weeks ago, Jack Swagger took the ankle out of the Big Show
20:49with a vicious ankle lock.
20:51Well, if it wasn't injured, then it was, it is now.
20:53Cody Rhodes now.
20:54Datching Cody Rhodes.
20:55Now, let's not forget, this ladder's reinforcing the stability is increased.
20:58Easier to climb.
20:59Dolph Ziggler from behind and harder to push down.
21:02Uh-huh.
21:02And Dolph Ziggler, perhaps realizing that, takes Cody.
21:05My gosh, did his head land on the leg of that ladder?
21:10Just an example of the risks these men put themselves through for the opportunity
21:15to grab the briefcase and be a part of history.
21:18Right there.
21:20Dashing Cody Rhodes, very wise to take out the left leg.
21:24And then the electric chair takes out Cody Rhodes.
21:27Three men in the ring, five men outside the ring.
21:29Ziggler, can he make it back to the ladder?
21:33The carnage is unbelievable.
21:37There's no superstars standing right now.
21:39Again, it's the sacrifices that these superstars are making to call themselves
21:44world champion at some point in the next year.
21:47If you win Money in the Bank, you're almost guaranteed to be the champion.
21:51Six times it's been cashed in, six times the new champion's been crowned.
21:55And whenever the champion is most vulnerable, that's when you cash it in.
21:59There's strategy involved.
22:01Anytime from tonight, up to a year from now.
22:04Yeah, next year.
22:05You know, someone could cash this thing in tonight.
22:07Listen, Edge held it a record 280 days, whereas Jack Swagger waited a mere five days
22:13to cash in his contract.
22:14Yeah, the quickness in history.
22:15And Dolph Ziggler looking to make history.
22:17Looking to climb this reinforced ladder.
22:19Big Show, trying to get it to the top, Big Show hobbling on one leg.
22:23And the Giant.
22:26Looks like taking a frying pan and getting hit in the chest with it.
22:32Man, Big Show, you're right.
22:34Perfect word, Michael, Big Show is hobbling.
22:38And Matt Hardy looking to take advantage.
22:41And Big Show fighting back.
22:43Lipping pretty heavily as the Big Show, as Kofi makes it back to the apron.
22:50May not make any difference to the Big Show that he's got his own ladder.
22:53Oh, the spring-loaded superstar.
22:55But did Big Show climb the ladder?
22:57Kofi's almost to the top.
22:58Can Big Show somehow play defense?
23:00See, that's where the Giant's height comes into play.
23:02Didn't even need to climb the ladder to stop Kofi.
23:04Boom.
23:06Kofi just DDT'd the Giant.
23:08And Kofi Kingston with a golden opportunity here.
23:10Who will emerge from this octet as the Money in the Bank ladder match victor?
23:18Kingston with his eyes on the prize as he looks up.
23:21Trying to climb the ladder.
23:23Make it to the top.
23:25Grab the briefcase.
23:26Is it Kofi's time?
23:28Is it Kofi's moment?
23:33Look at Cody.
23:33Look at Cody.
23:34Dropkick.
23:36He flew halfway across the ring.
23:40What a dropkick.
23:44Take a look here.
23:44The spring-loaded superstar Kofi Kingston with that unique leaping ability.
23:49So close, but then Cody Rhodes.
23:51Speaking of leaping ability, look at this.
23:53Senses the urgency.
23:55Look at the left-hand part of your screen up top there.
23:58Cody Rhodes has got- Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
23:59Crossroads.
24:00On the ladder.
24:01And if Cody Rhodes injured himself as well, Cody Rhodes' head bounced off the ladder as he
24:06delivered Crossroads to Kofi Kingston.
24:11Again, it is the sacrifice.
24:13What does it mean to be called World's Champion?
24:16It's Cody's moment now.
24:18Cody, climbing the ladder.
24:20This is who I'm rooting for, dashing Cody Rhodes.
24:22Dolph Ziggler though has other ideas, but-
24:24Dolph missed.
24:25Right hand to the kidney of Cody Rhodes.
24:29Zigzag right into the ladder.
24:32And Cody Rhodes bouncing back first off the ladder.
24:36And that ladder hardly even budged.
24:39That's right.
24:40Reinforced over 350 pounds that ladder weighs sitting perilously in the middle of the ring.
24:46Big show.
24:50Back to his feet, that's not good news for the other competitors.
24:54Head, butt, wipes out Cody.
24:56Dalton's down for the count as well.
24:58A determined giant on what appears to be one leg.
25:02Just limping, hobbling around the ring.
25:08This- The ankle obviously bothered him because that's why he cleared the ring of all the other
25:13competitors, given more time to perhaps try to climb the ladder on that injured ankle.
25:17Yeah, I think he's walking around a little bit now, trying to walk it up,
25:20and at least get some more blood into that injured ankle.
25:23Big Show.
25:24This ladder is holding him.
25:26It was made specifically for the Big Show.
25:29It's working.
25:30Holds upwards to a ton.
25:31Big Show having no problem, although gingerly climbing the ladder and Kane back on his feet.
25:37And Kane trying to, and look at Kane.
25:39Kane able to tip him.
25:41And send Big Show over the top into the floor.
25:44The ladder weighs 350 pounds.
25:46The Giant weighs close to 500 pounds.
25:49Kane just moved 800 pounds.
25:51No, no, no.
25:52Giving a new meaning to piling it on.
25:56The Giant being literally buried under a sea of ladders.
26:00And meanwhile, while all this is going on, Kane is the law man of the rank.
26:04Quick, please.
26:05Watch it.
26:06Good measure.
26:08Uh-oh.
26:12I think that's it for the Big Show and another ladder.
26:14And Kane trying to make up the ladder, Christian there.
26:18All right.
26:19How about the irony that it's the Big Show's ladder that may ultimately defeat the Big Show here?
26:23You know, look at Christian and Matt and Cody all flying to the ladder.
26:27This huge ladder allows more superstars to be on top at once.
26:31Look, boom.
26:32Cody and Matt up top.
26:34Cody Kingston trying to scale the side of the ladder.
26:37Matt Hardy going for the line with the choke swag.
26:39Look at Cody Rhodes.
26:40Look at Dashing Cody Rhodes.
26:41Cody Kingston in trouble.
26:43And now it's Kane trying to get Cody off the top.
26:46Come on, come on, come on.
26:46Look at Cody just fingertip away.
26:48That was in Kane's hands that's the problem.
26:54And again, Kane has cleared everyone out.
26:56Kane gonna climb the ladder.
26:57Kane trying to make it to the top.
26:59Can he do it?
26:59Dolph Ziggler this time.
27:01A race up the ladder against Kane as well.
27:03Dolph's gonna climb right over Kane.
27:05Dolph Ziggler.
27:06Beautiful.
27:06Up to the top.
27:07Can he get to the free?
27:08Look at Dolph Ziggler.
27:09Look at Dolph Ziggler, look at his two hands.
27:12Whoa.
27:13He's there.
27:14Dolph's there.
27:15You have to unhook that hooking mechanism.
27:17Yeah, but Kane- The sleeper, the sleeper hold.
27:20Dolph's panting sleeper hold is locked in.
27:22Kane's fading, no, he's not fading.
27:26He's ramping Dolph's head into the top of that ladder.
27:29Example on how to use that ladder as a weapon.
27:32And Ziggler.
27:37Whoa.
27:39You could tear a ligament in your knee like that.
27:43Kane wants to get to the top of that ladder.
27:47Ziggler out of the ring at any price.
27:49Kane should have just left him there.
27:50No, no, no, no.
27:51Oh, my gosh.
27:55Guys, there's no one left in the ring but Big Red Justice Kane.
28:00And Kane again, can he make it to the top of the last-
28:04Whoa, whoa, whoa.
28:05Kofi both have hold of his ankles.
28:07Let's not forget that sleeper hold did residual damage.
28:10Kane seems groggy.
28:11Look at this, I knew that alliance wouldn't last.
28:13Now we saw Cody turn on Kofi this past Tuesday night.
28:17Well, this is every man for himself.
28:19Exactly, that's what the Money in the Bank ladder match is all about.
28:22And look at Kane, Kofi Kingston in trouble, Kane.
28:25That's a big shot of thunderous.
28:28More incoming on the giant.
28:29Uh-oh, don't go under the ladder.
28:35That's even more bad luck, as if Kane after you wasn't enough.
28:38Well, Tony desperately, let's make it go.
28:39What is Kane in it?
28:43What on Earth?
28:46Look, face first into the armored truck.
28:54Hey, Kane realizing what's happening back in the ring now.
29:01Matt Hardy has begun to climb the ladder toward the top, toward the briefcase.
29:05And he feel if anyone deserves this opportunity, it's Matt Hardy.
29:10Well, I don't think Kane feels it.
29:11And Kane just dropping Matt Hardy down, and here's Kane and Christian both trying
29:15to scale the ladder again, and Christian swatted away.
29:17A race to the top there momentarily, but as you said, Kane in a swatting mood right now.
29:22And look at this, Kane in trouble, and Matt and Christian.
29:26That was like a huge powerbomb.
29:27Well, how fitting that Matt Hardy and Christian are involved right now.
29:31These two men pioneered the ladder match concept.
29:35And it could come down to Matt Hardy and Christian.
29:38Christian up one side of the ladder, Matt up the other, and now they're gonna come face to face.
29:41We have a look at the briefcase closer to Matt Hardy's side of the ladder.
29:45Will this aid Matt Hardy?
29:47Now Matt has to reach behind him, whereas Christian just needs to reach forward.
29:50But Matt has his hand on the briefcase.
29:52Christian's gotta go through Matt Hardy first.
29:53Matt's on the briefcase, now it's Christian in control.
29:55What if they both unhook it?
29:58Look at Matt.
30:01Matt with the advantage now.
30:02And it's come down to the two brothers.
30:04Years of sacrifice, Matt.
30:11Will it be Christian?
30:12Will it be Matt Hardy?
30:13Both these guys want this so bad.
30:17Who's it gonna be?
30:19Both hammering away with the only free hands that they have, the other hand clutching that briefcase.
30:24At the top of the ladder.
30:28And we are back to square one.
30:36Both Christian and Matt Hardy sending each other crashing to the mat.
30:41And look who's stirring, The Chosen One, Drew McIntyre.
30:47And it would be just like Drew McIntyre to steal this match up here.
30:50How great would it be this Friday on SmackDown if Drew McIntyre was the Money in the Bank ladder match winner.
30:57Yeah.
30:57You think that Drew McIntyre would be proud?
30:58Come on, they'd be parading through the streets of Scotland.
31:01How in the world did Drew McIntyre even get back to his feet after being smashed through that announce table?
31:07McIntyre, nobody is in sight.
31:09Drew McIntyre with a clear path to Money in the Bank.
31:15Trying to pay on broken ribs.
31:17I don't think he can climb all the way to the, there's Kane.
31:20And there's Kane as well.
31:22McIntyre suffering the hellacious boom drop.
31:23Look at McIntyre's got it.
31:25He's got it, Drew's got it, Drew's got it.
31:27Just unhook it, just unhook it.
31:28He can't Kane, that's McIntyre to the mat below.
31:32And now the prize in front of Kane.
31:34He's got it, he's got it, yes.
31:40Kane has won the Money in the Bank ladder match.
31:45Kane has earned the contract.
31:46Here's the winner, Kane.
31:51Kane has earned the contract for a championship match any time up to one year.
31:58What a victory by the Big Red Monster.
32:05What a match, my gosh, what a match.
32:09Perhaps spurred on tonight by the circumstances involving the attack on his brother.
32:15Perhaps Kane fed off that emotion, helping him to win the Money in the Bank.
32:21What a match.
32:27Second World May
32:36is good, thank you.
32:36The Interference
32:41is a part of the sworn policy match.
