WWE is off to a great start with this year’s Money in the Bank event ahead of its July 1st date at the O2 Arena in London as tickets for the show that went on sale on Friday quickly sold out.
The Daily Mail’s Alex McCarthy first reported that tickets for the show sold out in just one minute after issues with Ticketmaster, leading to a brief delay in tickets being put on sale.
The demand was strong for the event as over 30,000 fans were trying to get tickets during the general on-sale on Ticketmaster alone.
Build It and They Will Come
While it will be a historic event as it marks the first time since the 1992 SummerSlam event that one of the big 5 PLEs (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, MITB, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series) will be held in the UK, MITB will be without one notable name.
Roman Reigns is not advertised for the show. Instead, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, and Cody Rhodes are advertised to appear.
Reigns headlined the last PLE in the UK back in September with Clash at the Castle where retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Drew McIntyre. Here is the updated WWE PLE schedule:
- WWE WrestleMania 39 night one, Saturday, April 1
- WWE WrestleMania 39 night two, Sunday, April 2
- WWE Backlash, Saturday, May 6
- WWE King and Queen of the Ring, Saturday, May 27
- WWE Money in the Bank, Saturday, July 1
- WWE SummerSlam Saturday, August 5
