The new venue for this year’s Money in the Bank premium live event is reportedly close to being sold out.
WWE was forced to move Money in the Bank from Allegiant Stadium to MGM Grand Arena two weeks ago. This was reportedly done because ticket sales were too low, and they feared they would not sell out in time.
This appears to have been the best decision they could have made as they are now nearing a full house. The smaller venue can house around 17,000 spectators while Allegiant Stadium can hold a WrestleMania sized 65,000.
Money in the Bank now sits at 98% of seats sold as of this past Saturday, according to WrestleTix. The event was supposed to be one of three stadium shows, the others being Clash at the Castle and SummerSlam.
Participants for the men’s and women’s ladder matches will be determined soon, but one other match has also been set. Rhea Ripley will challenge Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship, having won a number one contenders match this past Monday.
Another rumored match has been Riddle and Shinsuke Nakamura vs. The Usos for the unified tag team championships. This bout may not happen, however, as Riddle challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Raw.
The latter match will likely be the one to take place as WWE wouldn’t tease it and not follow through. They may have no choice as there are no marquee stars at Hell in the Cell.
Given that Money in the Bank is supposed to be a bigger show, it’ll likely need more star power.
