World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is reaching out into their global unit of once again their international side of the business. On July 1, 2023, WWE Money in the bank (MITB) goes to London with their next Premium Live Event (PLE). This particular PLE changes the careers of a small batch of lucky few who win the briefcases. So far, the match card has lined up well with two MITB briefcase matches, one for males and one for the females.
In other years, the briefcases had been about the brands, either Smackdown or Raw. But since the late 2010’s there has been one for either gender. The MITB briefcase is a staple in the WWE since its inaugural match back at WrestleMania 21 Goes Hollywood in 2005, won by Chris Jericho. Inaugural winner Hall of Famer The Rated R Superstar Edge was the first to launch his career into a different atmosphere. The card for Saturday looks even more exciting.
