MIDDLE CARD PROMO

The WWE Champion AJ Styles and Kane have a face-off before their title bout at Money in the Bank. The tension was palpable as the two Superstars stared each other down. Styles looked Kane dead in the eyes and pronounced that AJ would leave Money in the Bank as STILL the WWE Champion. Unshaken, Kane points to his submission victory against Sin Cara last week as AJ's inevitable fate before launching an attack on Styles which ends with Kane coming out on top!
