El Grande Americano punched his ticket to the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match this week on WWE Raw, after defeating both AJ Styles and CM Punk in a triple threat match.
The trio of wrestlers traded moves and counters in the Raw main event this week, but it was Americano that walked out victorious. The Seth Rollins faction interfered in the match, which gave Americano an edge.

Bron Breakker pulled Punk out of the ring when he seemingly had the match won and destroyed Punk with a vicious beating outside the ring. Styles mixed it up with Breakker too and that slight distraction gave Americano an opening. Styles jumped off the top rope for a Phenomenal Forearm, but Americano countered it with a head butt.
That move dropped Styles right away and Americano made the cover for the victory. In past matches, Americano has been victorious after putting a metal plate inside of his lucha mask. That seemingly was the case with this win, but the referee did not find any evidence.
