WWE is heading to London for the Money in the Bank event at the O2 Arena on July 1. This event features ladder matches where the winners earn a guaranteed opportunity to challenge for a championship.
This is WWE’s first major event in London since 2003’s Insurrextion, following the success of Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales. WWE has been traveling around the world this year, with events in San Antonio, Montreal, Los Angeles, San Juan, and Jeddah. The London card includes two Money in the Bank ladder matches.
The Money in the Bank match originated at WrestleMania 21 and has become a major event on its own. Superstars from the men’s and women’s divisions compete to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring, which grants them the right to challenge for a championship of their choice at any time and place. This has often led to surprise impromptu matches and can be cashed in for any title.
Here are the confirmed matches for Money in the Bank:
