The risk certainly was worth the reward at Money In The Bank this year. We saw Asuka and Otis make their way to the top of the corporate ladder in their respective matches and grab the Money in the Bank briefcase. It will be fun to see what RAW, SmackDown, and the upcoming PPVs have in store for Mr and Miss Money In The Bank.
In other news, we saw Drew McIntyre retain his WWE Title in a hard-fought battle against The Monday Night Messiah. The New Day successfully defended its SmackDown Tag Team Titles in an action-packed Fatal Four-Way Match. Bayley was able to hold on to her SmackDown Women's Title thanks to Sasha Banks. We also saw the Black Sheep overcome Bray Wyatt.
Amidst these planned matches and appearances, we saw a few WWE Superstars and personnel making their way to our TV sets. Here's a list of them.

#7 Bobby Lashley at Money In The Bank
R-Truth made his way to the ring believing that there was a live audience. He ran his usual "Whatsup" routine but obviously got no response. MVP entered the ring later and expressed his displeasure at Truth's antics. While the two opponents were throwing around basketball references, Bobby Lashley's music hit the arena.
The All Mighty One told MVP that he'll take care of Truth for him and MVP happily left the ring. The former 24/7 Champion accidentally slapped Lashley in the face and regretted it immediately.
Truth tried to run away and get out of the ring but Lashley caught him and made quick work of him. Lashley laid Truth out with a devastating Spear and put him away. It will be interesting to see the angle WWE plays with the new alliance between Lashley and MVP. Is Lana out of this picture?
#6 Brother Love at Money in the Bank
Bruce Prichard is known for his gimmick as Brother Love who was here to preach the word of love. His catchphrase, "I love you" was heard even tonight during the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
During the match, Rey Mysterio ran past a washroom but stopped when he heard the flush. To everyone's pleasant surprise, it was Brother Love. He stepped out and told Mysterio that he loved him before Mysterio smiled and continued on his race to the roof.
#5 Stephanie McMahon at Money in the Bank
The daughter of the Chairman of the WWE and the Commissioner of RAW, Stephanie McMahon made her presence felt at the PPV. She was seen in a spot during the Women's Money in the Bank Match when Dana Brooke was seen celebrating with what she thought was the MITB briefcase.
McMahon told her that the original briefcase was on the roof and that she was in that MITB Conference Room. McMahon even told her to clean the room before she left as it was thrashed by the women during their match.
#4 Paul Heyman at Money in the Bank
The Advocate of The Beast Brock Lesnar was seen enjoying a lavish meal at WWE HQ. The spread consisted of sandwiches, salads, and many more delicacies. But before Paul Heyman could take his first bite, the room was filled with male and female WWE Superstars.
Heyman stood up to share his displeasure but was pushed over by Dana Brooke. As if that wasn't enough, Otis took a tray and threw it into Heyman's face, yelling FOOD FIGHT!!!. The Superstars continued fighting each other and tore the place apart.
#3 John Laurinaitis at Money in the Bank
Back in 2011, the WWE Universe was introduced to a term, "People Power". The man to coin this term in the WWE was none other than then-RAW General Manager, John Laurinaitis. After the Superstars ruined Heyman's meal, Otis proceeded to what looked like the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, he was greeted by delicious pies. Before Otis could ravish his pie, Laurinaitis came in on his scooter. After hearing Lauranitis' catchphrase, Otis threw the pie in his face and ran away.
#2 Vince McMahon at Money in the Bank
During the main event of the Money in the Bank PPV, while AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan were brawling, their brawl spilled into Vince McMahon's office. The two didn't realize what they had done right away but when they saw the shocked face of their boss, they immediately stopped.
The Chairman yelled at them and the two got out of the office after rearranging the mess they had created. Watching the two act ashamed and blaming each other in front of the boss was hilarious.
#1 Elias at Money In The Bank
Elias was last seen at WrestleMania 36 getting a win over King Corbin. The build to their match at WrestleMania was intense. We saw Corbin throwing Elias off a stage on SmackDown onto a concrete floor. Corbin didn't expect to see Elias at WrestleMania after the fall he had taken.
To Corbin's surprise, Elias was able to make it to WrestleMania and even beat Corbin via a rollup. Elias was away from WWE TV after WrestleMania and didn't participate in the Money in the Bank qualifying matches either.
During the final leg of the Men's Money in the Bank match, Corbin and AJ Styles were seen battling it out at the top of the ladder for the MITB briefcase. From out of nowhere, Elias attacked Corbin from behind with a guitar.
The attack didn't only hamper Corbin's grip over the briefcase but also Styles'. The two lost control of the briefcase and it landed in Otis' hands, allowing him to cash it in on a Champion of his choice.
