Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match and Opening Segment
The men’s qualifying division also heated up as Dragon Lee clashed with Solo Sikoa and Dominik Mysterio, according to Wrestlezone and Pro Wrestling Dot Net. The broadcast opened with Penta addressing the crowd about his grueling World Championship match against Roman Reigns the previous week, which commentators Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves hailed as an instant classic, per PWTorch. Penta told the San Antonio audience that while Reigns proved to be the better man, his pursuit of the title is far from over.
Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh interrupted Penta, with Dominik mocking his championship aspirations and declaring himself the true “King of the Luchadors.” Penta retorted that the only rightful holder of that title is Rey Mysterio. A physical altercation ensued when Dominik and McDonagh attacked Penta, though Penta successfully fought them off by landing a top-rope crossbody block that sent both heels fleeing.
