Fans witnessed a typical WWE scramble before this year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

The night concluded with a standard six-man tag team match, with King Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro picking up the victory over the babyface team of Daniel Bryan, Drew Gulak & Otis.

It was after the bout where Otis, Bryan, and Corbin rushed to grab the briefcase in a MITB preview.

Of course, WWE's big bad heel, King Corbin ended up being the one who grabbed the briefcase to display his dominance. As one of the only two heels from the men's division to take part in Sunday's Ladder Match - the other being AJ Styles - Corbin will prove to be a huge conflict during the pay-per-view itself.

Otis had a good moment during the scuffle as well. He might be the least likely candidate to win the MITB Ladder Match, especially one that spans across several floors.

WWE's most lovable personality broke two ladder steps on last night's episode, and judging by how both Corbin and Otis were booked this week, Sunday's pay-per-view could yield exact opposite results than what we expect.
