Bengaluru, May 17: Money in the Bank is one of those PPV events in the WWE which is a gimmick match and this particular show is based on ladders where the MITB briefcase hangs above the ring. Using ladders is the only way to reach the briefcase with a huge prize in it. The superstar who unhooks the contract hanging above, first, will be declared the winner.
For the first time in five years, the show iwill be hosted in a dual-brand way. This is why the importance of WWE MITB 2018 has gotten even bigger. Furthermore, there’s one additional reason why this PPV is so much important for the company.
The last PPV event, Backlash was a full-on bore-fest on the WWE Network. The critics gave that show a crown for the worst PPV event in a long time. This is quite a rare occasion when the company has failed to deliver to the extent in a WWE Network special. So, they have to come up with a solid outing during MITB in order to avoid #cancelwwenetwork trending worldwide.
The buildup for the upcoming show has been in progress for the past couple of weeks. As reported earlier, there will be eight superstars (four from Raw and four from Smackdown Live) who will compete in the men’s division match. It looks like, the same amount of name will also compete in the women’s division match, as well.
