Major Announcement On MITB Ladder Matches

That’s going to be interesting. We have less than two weeks to go before Money in the Bank and that means a few things. We’re going to be hearing those same theme songs over and over again, we’re going to hear Michael Cole talking about building momentum, and, due to an announcement made this week, we’re going to be in for complete chaos. This year’s show is going to see something never done before and that might not be a good thing.

As you might have heard, everything has been turned upside down in the wrestling world over the last few months. With no fans being allowed in the arena for WWE events (for now at least), there is only so much that WWE can do. That is going to be the case with this month’s Money in the Bank, which is why WWE is taking some almost drastic measures for this year’s event.

As announced during this week’s SmackDown, the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match and women’s Money in the Bank ladder match will take place at the same time. The matches will be taking place at the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, with the wrestlers starting on the ground floor and working their way to the roof where the briefcases are hanging above a ring. The match was taped in advance and has already been filmed.

This is going to be nuts. Check out what they are going to be doing at the same time:

Opinion: So this is what we have to look forward to. I’m not sure what the point is in having everything going on at the same time but it is certainly going to be memorable. I’m curious to see how long the match is going to go as well, as the ladder matches tend to eat up a lot of time on the show. With only one match instead of two, this could be quite the long spectacle.

Who do you see winning the briefcases? Do you like the new concept? Let us know in the comments below.
