A surprise last-second eighth addition to the Men's Money in the Bank match, Theory capitalized by capturing the briefcase -- and a celebratory selfie -- in yet another signal he's earmarked for stardom.
Vince McMahon's protégé battled Riddle at the top of the ladder, eventually knocking him to the mat to secure the victory and guarantee himself a future WWE championship opportunity.
The match kicked off with Omos, standing 7-foot-3, imposing his superior size and strength on the competition. He cleaned house, using a ladder as a weapon. After an extended string of dominance, Drew McIntyre hit the Claymore on Omos, pushing him out of the ring. The fighter from Scotland was the first man to climb the ladder, but his progress was thwarted by Sheamus, who threw him off the ladder and outside the ropes. Sheamus and McIntyre then traded punches while Theory snuck up the ladder. In a comedic moment, they finally noticed and double-teamed Theory. They combined for 15 (not 10) Beats of the Bodhran. Seth Rollins then took out both Sheamus and McIntyre with the ladder before he launched it at them. Rollins attempted a Pedigree on Riddle, but Riddle flipped Rollins onto a ladder, then connected with a Senton. Sami Zayn then asserted himself, using a drop-toe hold on Madcap Moss onto the ladder. Madcap responded with a stiff Irish Whip of Zayn onto the ladder before Riddle jumped into the fray. Riddle and Madcap fought at the top of the ladder under the briefcase before Omos interjected and Powerslammed Riddle. Omos then Chokeslammed Theory and began the climb up the ladder before he was stopped by McIntyre and Moss. They knocked Omos outside the ring with a Double Clothesline.

Sheamus and Riddle joined and attacked Omos with ladders. Finally, they all teamed up to bury Omos in a pile of about 10 ladders. While they were preoccupied with Omos, Rollins and Sami fought on top of the ladder inside the ring. Sheamus set up a second ladder next to them, before he tipped the pair over. Moss pulled Theory off the ladder and hit a Fallaway Slam before he Powerbombed Zayn onto a ladder. Sheamus delivered White Noise on McIntyre, then connected on the Irish Curse Backbreaker on Riddle. He attempted a Brogue Kick, but Riddle avoided it and hit the Hangman DDT off the ladder -- rather than the ropes -- in an ode to his tag team partner, Randy Orton.
In one of the best spots of the match, Riddle then performed a Floating Bro off the top of ladder, taking out Sheamus, Rollins, Moss and McIntyre.Aug. 1, 2022:
