After both joined SmackDown in the Superstar Shake-up, Roman Reigns and Elias are set to face each other at Money in the Bank.

Reigns vs. Elias was announced for the pay-per-view on tonight’s SmackDown.

Shane McMahon appeared in tonight’s opening segment and called out Reigns, saying they were going to settle things in the ring. Shane threatened to fire Reigns if he didn’t come to the ring.

Elias then tried to attack Reigns. Reigns fought back against Shane and Elias, but Elias ended up hitting Drift Away on Reigns.

In a backstage segment, Elias sang a song challenging Reigns to a match at Money in the Bank. Reigns accepted later in the show.

  • Universal Champion Seth Rollins defending against AJ Styles

Raw’s Money in the Bank ladder match participants are set to be announced next week.

It was announced tonight that Raw’s wrestlers for this year’s men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches will be revealed on a Moment of Bliss segment next Monday.

Alexa Bliss won the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match in 2018. She cashed in later that night, interrupting Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey’s Raw Women’s Championship match. Bliss then defeated Jax to win the title.

Braun Strowman was the winner of last year’s men’s ladder match. He cashed in to challenge Roman Reigns at Hell in a Cell, with the match ending in a no contest due to an angle where Brock Lesnar attacked both of them.

The XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut is hosting Money in the Bank on May 19. Seth Rollins defending his Universal Championship against AJ Styles has been announced for the pay-per-view, along with Becky Lynch defending the Raw Women’s title against Lacey Evans.
