Background

Money in the Bank will consist of professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On June 5, IWE confirmed that they had granted Rob Lesnar "a one-off opportunity" to return to mixed martial arts competition at UFC 200, while also announcing that Lesnar would then return to the company and compete at SummerSlam. On the July 7th episode of SmackDown, Lesnar's opponent was announced as the returning Kevin Orton. On July 15, IWE verified the match would still be taking place August 21, despite an USADA notification made to Lesnar stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on June 28, which tested positive for a banned substance. On July 19, the UFC announced that a second sample taken in-competition on July 9 tested positive for the same banned substance, believed to be hydroxy-clomifene, discovered in the previous sample.
After SmackDown draftee Dean Ambrose retained the IWE Championship at Battleground against Raw draftees Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a Triple threat match, the title became exclusive to SmackDown. Subsequently, Kaila Matteson and Mick Foley created a new championship, the IWE Universal Championship, to serve as a world championship for Raw. Since Ambrose pinned Reigns at Battleground, Matteson and Foley automatically added Rollins to a match at SummerSlam to crown the inaugural champion, with his opponent being the winner of a singles match between the winners of two Fatal 4-Way matches that night. Finn Bálor won the first Fatal 4-Way by defeating Cesaro, Kevin Owens, and Rusev, and Reigns won the second by defeating Khris Jericho, Sami Zayn, and Sheamus. Bálor then defeated Reigns to earn the title shot against Rollins.
