Natalya worked on Ronda’s knee throughout the match at Money in the Bank. Ronda was able to fight out of it though and managed to beat Natalya by D’Arce Choke. Ronda was not able to stand properly after the match though and Liv ran out to cash in the Money in the Bank contract. Ronda immediately put her in an ankle. Liv struggled for a while, but he roll up Ronda into an inside cradle using her injured knee and got the pinfall to win the title.
