– The show starts with Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Natalya and Tamina Snuka arguing afront of Daniel Bryan’s office. Bryan comes out and says that he has to address Carmella and James Ellsworth first. 

Carmella and James Ellsworth In-Ring Promo: 

What’s the matter with you people? Ellsworth wants everyone to get on their feet and give it up for the first Miss Money in the Bank. Carmella welcomes everyone to the Fabulous Era of Carmella. For the last 48 hours the name Carmella has been trending worldwide. It hasn’t been trending because she won the first Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, it’s because of how she won. People are saying she tarnished the first ladder match, the women’s revolution and only needed Ellsworth help. Who cares? Carmella has been overlooked and underestimated since she was the last pick of the WWE Draft.

People talk about Natalya’s pedigree, or Tamina’s power or Becky’s straight fire, or Charlotte supreme athleticism. Carmella is that intelligent. While everyone was talking about making history, Carmella was planning for her future. She won that match fair and square. Remember in 2014 when Kane helped Seth Rollins win. How about in 2015 when Bray Wyatt, who was not in the damn match prevented Roman Reigns from winning which allowed Sheamus to win that match.

All of the internet trolls had to tweet to Daniel Bryan to deal with the issue and that’s pathetic. Carmella earned that briefcase. It was a No Disqualification Match. There’s no rules. When Daniel Bryan comes out here later on tonight, he’ll have to make a decision. He’s going to reinforce what she has said. Carmella is Miss Money in the Bank. There’s not a damn thing any of you can do about it.
