Men’s Fatal Four-Way Match
Braun Strowman vs. Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens vs. Bobby Roode
The four men in the Money in the Bank ladder match from Raw will square off in the show’s main event, and we saw Roode, Balor, and Owens arguing over strategy backstage before the match. Strowman noticed this and interrupted them, quipping that he has an idea. He wants the trio to team up against him in the match. Strowman then screamed at the top of his lungs, scaring his three opponents tonight.
As expected, Braun Strowman starts the match by throwing everyone around, showing how difficult it is for even three men to team up to take him down. Roode, Owens, and Balor are on the outside, reeling, and Owens yells at Roode and Balor that they need to stick together if they want to have any hope at taking down the Monster Among Men.
Owens made the mistake of trying to attack Strowman from behind, to which Strowman responded “You must be stupid!” Pleading with the Monster, Owens rolled out of the ring and started backing up. Balor and Roode tried to take advantage, hitting Strowman as he went after Owens, but Braun eventually just threw everyone off of him.
Scared, Owens ran backstage to escape Braun’s grasp, but it didn’t actually work out for him. Braun ran him down, pulled him by the ear, and headbutted Owens. Roode and Balor tried to help KO out by going after Strowman, but they were tossed aside with ease.
With all three man grounded, Strowman slammed down a ladder and started tearing the announce desk apart, plotting yet another jaw-dropping move. But Roode and Balor turned things around, working together to beat down Strowman using a ladder. Owens also joined the fray, bringing over a ladder with Strowman laid out on the announce desk. He asked Balor and Roode to hold the ladder as Owens ascended to the top. Owens hit Strowman with a MASSIVE frog splash to send Braun crashing through the table.
Balor and Roode head back in the ring to start exchanging holds with Owens and Strowman left sprawled by the broken announce table near the stage.
It looked like Balor was about to hit Roode with a Coup de Grace for the win, but just like a couple of weeks ago, Owens attacked Balor before he could hit his move. As Owens ascended the top rope, Balor thwarted him back. And when Balor tried to go back to the top rope again, Roode got up and snuffed Balor out.
Before Roode could hit a superplex on Balor, Owens scampered in to powerbomb both of them, creating absolute carnage in the ring with Strowman still laid out on the outside.
When Strowman stars to stir, Owens’s face completely changes, because he knows he’s screwed. Strowman waves off the officials to head to the ring, and he simply swats aside the charging Balor and Roode before heading for Owens, who leaves the ring and runs into the crowd.
Strowman quickly catches up to Owens and drags The Prizefighter back to the ringside area. He hits everyone with shoulder tackles, with his shoulder tackle on Owens being especially awesome. He tries to hit Owens with a Powerslam, but Roode snuffs it out. Balor hits Strowman with a Coup de Grace to the back, but Braun quickly recovers and tackles Balor.
Owens and Roode started going after Strowman, but the teamwork didn’t last. As usual, Owens turned on his partner, attacking Roode with a roll-up. The two trade blows, but Balor starts to steal things. He grounds Strowman with a Slingblade and ascends the top rope for a Coup de Grace. He hits the move and has the win, but Roode stops the pin and sends Owens out. Owens does the same to Roode after he hits the Gloroius DDT. But when Owens hits Strowman with a Frog Splash, Strowman kicks out.

Desperate, Owens brings in a ladder to target Braun’s ribs. But Braun eventually catches the ladder, grabs Strowman, and chokeslams him. Braun ends Owens by powerslamming him onto the ladder for a huge win.
Grade: A+, This was chaos. I loved it.
