On tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown Live, WWE Champion Jinder Mahal competed in a non-title match against former 16-time World Champion John Cena. Cena gave Mahal and Attitude Adjustment but Mahal kicked out. Cena then gave Mahal a Super Attitude Adjustment off of the top rope and appeared to have the match won until Baron Corbin entered the ring and interfered, causing a disqualification.

Corbin attacked Cena with his Money in the Bank briefcase and then cashed in the MITB contract for a WWE Championship title match with Jinder Mahal. Cena got back up and Corbin knocked him off the ring apron, which gave Mahal the opportunity to sneak up on Corbin and roll him up for a pinfall victory.

As a result, Baron Corbin becomes just the third person in history to cash in the Money in the Bank contract and not win a World Championship. The other two people to do so were John Cena and Damien Sandow.
