Away from Corbin's success in clinching the magic briefcase, the highlight of the men's Money In The Bank encounter came as two huge stars earned one of the biggest cheers of the night for moving the ladder out of the way.

Returning from the pre-match thumping he endured by 'The Lone Wolf', Shinsuke Nakamura had his finest WWE moment so far as an unrepentant ball of fury, taking out his rage on everyone in his path and machine gunning the competition away with his array of kicks and strikes.

Seemingly taking out the entire field, the 'King of Strong Style' scaled the ladder, but his eyes met those of AJ Styles through the rungs, and the pair prepared for war.

Mindful possibly of their prior conflicts, the crowd anticipation grew to a fever pitch as the undisputed two top stars of the brand prepared to rumble. Shifting the ladder was an inspired touch. In tune with the audience, the brief departure from the task at hand added superb drama to their first WWE face-off, and left much remaining for the potentially mammoth match they'll eventually headline a pay-per-view with.
