In a new WWE SmackDown exclusive backstage video, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis interrupted an argument with men’s Money in the Bank participants Penta, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans. Aldis informed Penta and Evans that after speaking with Adam Pearce, both of them will be his formally invited guests on next week’s WWE SmackDown.

Aldis explained to Penta and Evans, “First of all, very nice, pleasant surprise to see you both here on SmackDown tonight. In fact, it was so nice that I just got off the phone with our mutual friend Adam Pearce, and you two are going to be back here on SmackDown next week as my formally invited guests.”

Aldis also added that all the participants of the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank matches will also be in attendance on the Oct. 9 edition of the show. He continued, “In fact, every single participant of both the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches will be in attendance next week on SmackDown, because I thought it would be so fun to have everybody under one roof 24 hours before a match that has the potential to change the trajectory of their entire careers.”

* WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Fatal Influence vs. Charlotte Flair and Tatum Paxley
