Another Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifying match took place on WWE SmackDown this week, and it involved LA Knight, Aleister Black, and Shinsuke Nakamura. The winner was guaranteed a spot in the men's ladder match.
The King of Strong Style immediately went after The Megastar when the bell rang. However, the two babyfaces quickly double-teamed Shinsuke. They tossed the heel to the floor and then squared off. Black hit LA with a kick, and the latter delivered a jumping neckbreaker.
Aleister hit a few more kicks in the corner and went for a running kick, but got tripped by Shinsuke Nakamura. The two stars went kick for kick, and Black delivered a knee to the midsection. He tried to dive on the Japanese star, but LA Knight took him out with a superplex. Nakamura hit LA with a knee off the middle rope, and Aleister Black hit Shinsuke with a running knee to the face.
The former AEW star wiped out The King of Strong Style with a moonsault to the floor and a Tope Con Hilo. Shinsuke Nakamura tried to hit Black with a Kinshasa but ran into a Black Mass. LA Knight tossed Black out of the ring and pinned Shinsuke to win the match. Aleister almost won the match, but his opportunity was stolen.
