Bron Breakker and Sol Ruca secured their spots in next month’s ladder matches by qualifying for WWE Money in the Bank on Monday.

The Vision Returns at Full Strength on Raw
The Vision got back up to full strength at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event over the weekend in Atlanta with the return of Bronson Reed. The faction started this week’s episode of Raw and were arrogant and cocky in doing so. Breakker cut a promo first and said The Vision was complete and that they run WWE. He then said that he solidified himself as the future of WWE at Sunday Night’s Main Event when he beat Oba Femi. The audience chanted for Femi, but Breakker said that he wasn’t cleared and wasn’t in the building. Breakker continued and thanked his “brother,” Bronson Reed, for the help. Breakker said it was great to have Reed back. Reed then spoke and gloated about taking out Femi. He was booed and Logan Paul jumped in and told the audience to respect him more. Eventually, Austin Theory spoke about the greatness of The Vision and his Vision Queen, Maxxine. The two embraced one another, but then Akira Tozawa walked out. Theory made fun of him and questioned whether or not he knew where he was. He said that they could have a match, but that Maxxine would beat him up. Tozawa said that Theory would have a match, but it would be against someone else. He then brought out the returning Otis. Once Otis was down in the ring, the match began.
Austin Theory vs. Otis ended in a no contest. Right as Otis got some momentum in the match, Bronson Reed interfered and the match was tossed out. The entire Vision destroyed Otis and Tozawa. They celebrated, but then Oba Femi was shown arriving backstage. Femi walked down to the ring without an entrance and destroyed everyone in The Vision. He cleared the ring, but eventually Reed and Breakker grounded him. They hit him with multiple spears and multiple Tsunamis from Bronson Reed. The Vision left Femi lying in the ring for the second night in a row.
Elsewhere on the show, The Usos were shown walking backstage and they ran into Jacob Fatu. They told him to get ready to go and find Royce Keys, but Fatu pumped the brakes. He said that they needed to slow down and make sure their next move was the right one. Jimmy was angry about Fatu, but Jey told him to call the next play. The Miz walked out and interrupted an interview with comedian Matt Matthews. Miz made fun of him and Alabama and then tossed Matthews into the ring when he disrespected him. Matthews tried to fight back, but Miz dropped him with a Skull Crushing finale.
Bron Breakker Secures a Men’s Money in-the-Bank Ladder Match Spot
Bron Breakker defeated Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page to qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Breakker hit a double hurricanrana off the top rope on both Page and Mysterio. This left Mysterio alone and vulnerable in the ring. Breakker smashed him with a Spear and then made the cover for the victory. Later in the night, it looked like Lyra Valkyria would be advancing to New Orleans after she hit the nightwing on Maxxine Dupri.
Breakker and Sol Ruca earned their ticket to New Orleans on Monday, qualifying for the ladder matches that will take place on October 10. Breakker was the first to qualify, defeating Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page. The finish had Breakker hitting a frankensteiner on Page as he held Mysterio on his shoulders. Breakker then hit a spear on Mysterio for the win. The men’s match features Bron Breakker versus 5 wrestlers TBD.
Sol Ruca Earns a Women’s Bracket Opportunity Amid Bayley Interference
Bayley is back and Sol Ruca is headed to Money in the Bank. Sol Ruca defeated Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri to earn a spot in this year’s Money in the Bank ladder match. But the referee was pulled out of the ring by the returning Bayley. The distraction left an opening for Ruca, who hit Valkyria with the sol snatcher for the win. After the match Bayley attacked Valkyria, giving her the nightwing on the floor. Valkyria fled, however, as Bayley went to clear the nearby announce table. The women’s match features Sol Ruca versus 5 wrestlers TBD.
Backstage Confrontations and Upcoming Championship Bouts
Backstage, LA Knight approached Adam Pearce and made his case to get a title match after Penta vs. Roman Reigns. Knight said he was never in Pearce’s plans, but he should be. Pearce confirmed that he would be in the conversation. Solo Sikoa then walked up to Knight and said that they had to get after Royce Keys. Knight declined. He said they should let The Usos handle them and they would pick the bones. Sikoa said he didn’t know if he could wait or not and stormed off.
A video package aired for Penta. Penta talked about wrestling Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship next week. He said he would win the title and that he has zero fear.
