WWE Smackdown PREVIEW after Backlash: Jeff Hardy fights The Miz for Money in the Bank spot
SMACKDOWN superstars gear up for Money in the Bank with some exciting qualifying matches at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
RAW General Manager Kurt Angle announced that there will be a total of four Money in the Bank Ladder Matches on June 17 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Braun Strowman and Finn Balor have made the RAW men’s bout and Ember Moon made the RAW Women’s match.
US Champion Jeff Hardy takes on The Miz for a spot in the Smackdown Men’s Money in the Bank fight.
Hardy retained the title against Randy Orton at Backlash whereas The Miz failed to dethrone Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship.
Daniel Bryan will also be looking to secure a spot for the exciting Pay-Per-View by taking on Rusev in another stunning qualifier.
Bryan beat the 7ft-tall Big Cass at Backlash but suffered yet another savage attack after his victorious bout.

Charlotte Flair failed to regain her Smackdown Women’s Championship against Carmella on Sunday.
However, Charlotte will get the chance to win back the belt the same way the new champion won it from her on the first episode of Smackdown after WrestleMania 34.
The Queen needs to beat Peyton Royce to earn a spot for the Smackdown Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Of course, the ex-RAW Women’s Champion’s task won’t be easy as Royce will be backed by her fellow IIconics member Billie Kay.
WWE Champion AJ Styles retained the title against Shinsuke Nakamura following a disappointing finish at Backlash.

Both superstars kicked each other in the groin and got counted out after failing to get back on their feet.
Styles and Nakamura will continue their intense feud but will have to keep an eye out for Samoa Joe who declared his intention to challenge for the belt after Backlash.
The Destroyer, however, lost to Roman Reigns last Sunday and is not going to Smackdown with the desired momentum.
Big Cass, Carmella, Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods are also expected to appear tonight.
