Your support makes all the difference.The show opened with the marquee Money in the Bank ladder match - the winner receiving a contract for a WWE heavyweight title match.
Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Neville, Roman Reigns, Kofi Kingston and Kane contested the ladder match.
Roman Reigns looks set to have secured the briefcase, until Bray Wyatt showed up to knock Reigns off the ladder, and then hit the Sister Abigail on him.
After a battle on top of the ladder with Neville, Sheamus eventually prevailed to win the match and take the briefcase.
In the standout match of the night, US Champion John Cena handed NXT Champion Kevin Owens the first loss of his career in the WWE. The back-and-forth contest saw Cena win with the Attitude Adjustment. It was after the bout, however, that their feud continued.
Cena shook Owens hand and told him he belonged in the WWE, only for Owens to kick him in the stomach and hit a powerbomb on the ring apron. Expect a third match soon.
In the WWE world heavyweight title main event, Seth Rollins retained his belt against former Shield partner Dean Ambrose, snatching the title from Ambrose as they both fell off the ladder, Ambrose coming agonisingly close to his maiden title win. Rollins then celebrated with WWE COO Triple H as the show finished.
