Second-ever Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match to take place this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE
The women of SmackDown LIVE will get another opportunity to make history this Tuesday in the second-ever Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
The first match at WWE Money in the Bank was supposed to be a historic occasion, though it was arguably tarnished when James Ellsworth knocked Becky Lynch off a ladder, then climbed it himself. He retrieved the briefcase and tossed it down to a waiting Carmella. The Princess of Staten Island and Ellsworth gloated on SmackDown LIVE, flaunting in the faces of the WWE Universe that they had done nothing wrong by the letter of the law in the WWE Rulebook.
However, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Natalya and Tamina saw things differently, and the four women urged SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan to “do the right thing.”
After considering all options, Bryan revealed that all five women would compete in another Ladder Match for the guaranteed title opportunity. Bryan took the briefcase from an astonished Carmella and announced on WWE Talking Smack that Ellsworth will be banned from ringside.
With Ellsworth’s meddling out of the equation, will Carmella be able to retrieve the coveted contract again, or will one of the other four Superstars be calling themselves Ms. Money in the Bank? Find out this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Naomi and Lana face off in SmackDown Women’s Championship rematch this Tuesday
Lana will get another opportunity to challenge for the SmackDown Women’s Title this Tuesday in a clash with Naomi.
The Ravishing Russian certainly impressed the WWE Universe in her battle with Naomi at WWE Money in the Bank, but she was distracted when Carmella and James Ellsworth arrived on the scene, as The Princess of Staten Island teased that she might cash in her Money in the Bank contract. The disruption gave Naomi an opening to trap Lana in a submission hold to retain her title.
Following a backstage confrontation on the June 20 edition of SmackDown LIVE, Naomi agreed to once again defend her title against The Ravishing Russian the following week on the blue brand.
Will Lana prove she can hang with SmackDown LIVE’s best and make the most of her title opportunity, or will Naomi make The Ravishing Russian feel the glow? Find out this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Sami Zayn battles Baron Corbin on SmackDown LIVE this Tuesday
In a match requested by The Lone Wolf, Sami Zayn will battle Baron Corbin this week on SmackDown LIVE.
Though Corbin is certainly in a position of power with the Money in the Bank briefcase in his possession, Zayn has had his number in recent weeks. The Underdog from The Underground has defeated The Lone Wolf on several occasions in singles and tag team action. However, Zayn has not gone unscathed in this rivalry, as a furious Corbin has unleashed his rage on Zayn multiple times.
Will Zayn continue his winning streak against The Lone Wolf, or will Corbin make sure that Zayn meets his End of Days? Find out this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
The Hype Bros battle The Usos this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE
The Hype Bros will get an opportunity to prove themselves this Tuesday when they face the reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos, in non-title action.
The opportunity is a long time coming for Zack Ryder & Mojo Rawley. The two won a battle royal to earn a title match last December, but Ryder suffered a knee injury while earning the victory that kept him out of action until last week. The Hype Bros looked like they hadn’t lost a step at the WWE Money in the Bank Kickoff on Sunday during their impressive victory over The Colons, and now, they’ll finally get their chance to show what they can do against the champions while looking to earn a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity.
The Usos, however, have shown that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to stay on top of the mountain, evidenced by the count-out loss they took at WWE Money in the Bank against The New Day. How will Jimmy & Jey react when The Hype Bros turn up the heat this Tuesday? Find out during SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
I'm sorry, but the women's MITB was trash. Both this one and the one at the PPV. The appeal of ladder matches is the high risk stunts, and it couldn't have been more painfully clear that the women were avoiding anything risky like the plague. Every spot required all the women involved to shuffle halfway down the ladder, to the point where I think an agent said, "alright ladies don't go above the 4th rung". It was a lower height than the top rope would have been, and every woman fell in the same fashion that Eva Marie did off the apron, which gets constantly mocked in gifs.
It's clear that their bodies couldn't handle it, or they didn't feel that they could. I don't want them to kill themselves, but if they can't do it properly, don't do it at all. It's like a hardcore match with no weapons, they couldn't deliver on the main selling point.
I was really curious to see how the women would do in a ladder match... after these two pathetic displays, I don't want to see one ever again.
In the weird world that is SDL we could have Lana winning so they can give a face the case.. This shouldn't be happening anyway, so whatever they do it won't erase the clusterfuck around the first one.
Fully expecting Ellsworth to come out disguised as a woman just to add to the ridiculousness of the whole thing.
Corbin needs to destroy Zayn, so he'll probably lose clean.
And hype bros breakup with Mojo turning heel would make least sense, so that's what they'll probably do.
I have very little faith in anything SDL related at the moment.
If he does that I hope Becky breaks his arm :beckylol
But seriously, there's no way that match ends without some kind of Ellsworth related fuckery happening. Still hoping Becky picks up the win, unlikely as that is.
This absolutely has to be the worst period in Smackdown history, even worse than 2004 and 2010 after the draft.
There is absolutely 0 substance on this show and absolutely nothing that's interesting barring their plans for Jinder and AJ, yet they both get 5 minutes of screen time a week in order for the women to get an hour dedicated to themselves.

Why redo the MITB? And why ban Ellsworth and throw away Carmellas heat? They can have Becky or Charlotte or whoever win this match clean but it wont change the fact that they screwed up the first womens MITB. Even if Carmella wins again, she'll come out fo the match with a lot less heat than she had last week, which is stupid.
The men have been pushed aside and the main event feud isn't clicking.
The women's stuff doesn't interest me because it's so poorly written and the standard isn't particularly good.
Having a read through the preview tells it all in how far SD has fallen. Top two listings womens related, the third a rematch between Zayn-Corbin and the last a tag match.
Where the fuck are the stars of the show in this? AJ, KO, Orton and Nakamura fpalm
This is why the show is trash right now. Nothing is remotely worth watching. Not a single damn compelling feud on the show.
I wonder if this MITB will be another shitty rush job with no big bumps or spots. They've got to do something, otherwise there's absolutely no point even having these gimmick matches for women. All have sucked so far.
If you expect the women to do the crazy spots that the men do, I think you are going to be disappointed, I agree they needed to do some more spots and hit each other with the ladder more. But I don't think you will ever see a ladder being set up on the barricade and the ring apron and then someone going through it in a womens match lol
Road Dogg needs to do some serious house cleaning on his creative staff. How do you have a tag team that won a #1 Contenders match to just take it away from them because of injury... and then make then EARN it back? And then bury them.
How do you hype Lana for months only to give her a title shot her very first match, and then squash her in her second match?
