The Money In The Bank pay-per-view on July 18th will be the first PPV to hold a live crowd since WrestleMania 37.

Brief statement concerns fans

Although it is a huge announcement by WWE, they have only released a brief statement. A lot of fans are speculating whether WWE will actually go through with it.

Notably, WWE has stated 25 cities but only three dates have been mentioned till now. At the moment, we are not sure if that is because they themselves don’t know which dates will correspond with which cities. We can only assume that they have a rough idea for the same.

WWE’s priority could be getting these SmackDown, Raw, and Money in the Bank events confirmed, booked, and put into the system for the tickets to be released.

Whatever the case may be, the fans are licking their lips at the prospect of going to see a live event. We are sure that WWE’s officials will take every precautionary measure to safeguard the health of their wrestlers as well as their fans.
