Braun Strowman qualified for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match after beating Kevin Owens on Raw

Finn Balor, Braun Strowman and Ember Moon became the first three qualifiers for the Money In The Bank ladder matches with Raw victories on Monday night.

Strowman defeated Kevin Owens in a one-on-one contest to book his place in the men's ladder match at the Sky Sports Box Office event, which takes place in Chicago on June 17.

The contest came about after Owens made the claim to Raw general manager Kurt Angle that he was not the legal man when he was pinned at Backlash and he should automatically qualify for the ladder match as a result, but Angle instead booked him against Strowman.

Hardy and Wyatt see off the former Miztourage

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt made it through the first defence of their Raw tag team titles relatively unscathed, seeing off the challenge of the now Miz-less duo of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

The champions were confident throughout; at one point Wyatt turned his back on Axel to give the former Intercontinental champion a free swing - and it turned out their faith in themselves was more than justified.
