Lineups for Money In The Bank ladder matches for the 2020 edition are almost finalized leaving the one last spot vacant due to the storyline injury suffered by Apollo Crews on Raw. Otis and Carmella remained victorious in their respective scheduled matches on SmackDown to make it to the men and women’s MITB ladder matches.

The main event of this week’s SmackDown on FOX episode witnessed Otis defeat Dolph Ziggler via clean pinfall to qualify. Prior to that, Carmella defeated Mandy Rose on the same night to earn the final spot from the women’s division. Sonya Deville distracted Rose throughout this contest to ensure that Rose doesn’t make it to the opportunistic ladder match.
