The Head of Creative at WWE Paul Levesque, popularly known as Triple H, announced on Thursday that the Money in the Bank (MITB) premium live event will be moving to Canada. The former wrestler revealed that for the first time, MITB action will emanate from Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The live wrestling event is going to be held on July 6, sandwiched between SmackDown’s July 5 episode and NXT Heatwave scheduled for July 7. Both of these events will also be held at the Scotiabank Arena. In a post on X, Triple H said, “This summer, for the first time ever, Money in the Bank heads to Toronto and headlines a massive weekend @ScotiabankArena.” 7/5 #Smackdown, 7/6 #MITB, 7/7 #NXTHeatwave Thrilled to bring one of the most exciting events of the year to Canada…this is going to be epic.”
The WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view is known to host two signature ladder matches. One each for the men’s and women’s divisions. The winner of either of these ladder matches gets a chance to challenge for their desired title as per their choice of place and time. WWE superstar Edge was the first ever wrestler to win the maiden Money in the Bank briefcase back in 2005. He later went on to cash in his contract with John Cena to win the WWE Championship title. Whereas Damian Priest and IYO SKY are the most recent winners of the men’s and women’s ladder matches back in 2023.
WWE Money in the Bank 2024 Matches:
Money in the Bank Men’s Ladder Match
While we are months away from learning about the various competitors participating in the men’s ladder match let’s take a look at some of the speculations. Sami Zayn had to recently take some time off live television due to an ACL injury. However, it has been touted that the superstar will likely make a thunderous appearance at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and eventually win the anticipated match. Winning the briefcase would allow him to cash in on the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship that is currently held by Roman Reigns. The only other contender that could topple Sami’s chances of winning the ladder match is his decades-long wrestling partner Kevin Owens.
Money in the Bank Women’s Ladder Match
Speaking of the women’s ladder match in the 2024 Money in the Bank, we are yet to learn about the developments as to what the landscape will be until July. WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley won her title against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. She has held the title for 277 days but it still isn’t sure if she remain champion till the Money in Bank event in July. Her title reign will shape most of the storyline for the upcoming women’s briefcase match.
