Backstage notes
- Originally, the Jey Uso vs. Montez Ford match was supposed to determine who selected the stipulation for Money in the Bank.
- Originally, Carmella and Bianca Belair were scheduled for a contract signing on Raw.
- Originally the "GOOD OLD FASHIONED BATTLE ROYAL" was called the "King of the Mountain" Battle Royal. That was changed shortly before the show and plenty of Jeff Jarrett jokes flew backstage.
- Many of the Raw stars on the show were actually supposed to already be in Las Vegas and had their travel changed to make Smackdown.
- Riddle vs. Seth Rollins (produced by Jason Jordan) was the advertised dark match main event. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Humberto Carrillo (produced by Petey Williams) was the pre- show dark match
- Neither Ariya Daivari or Joe Hennig appeared on Raw, Smackdown or Money in the Bank listings.
