WWE’s Money in the bank The kickoff event will take place live today (Friday, July 5) at 5:00 PM EDT in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
At one point, WWE referred to these pre-premium live event pep rallies as “press conferences,” but since they weren’t — and since they now hold them after PLEs as part of the Post Show — they are now Kickoffs. In the “New Era” at WWE, the pre-show program that used to be a Kickoff is now a Countdown. That will be tomorrow before the big show, as usual.
For today’s Kickoff, event host and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus says she’ll be in attendance , and of course the company’s Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesqueas will be there too. WWE promises World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, competitors in the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches, “and more.” So whoever that might mean, here’s a look at tomorrow’s card:
• Jey Uso vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Andrade vs. Chad Gable vs. LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
• Iyo Sky vs. Chelsea Green vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Naomi vs. Zoey Stark in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
• Damian Priest (c) vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
• Sami Zayn (c) vs. Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Title
• Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens vs. The Bloodline
We’ll find out who’s coming and what they’ll be saying or doing when the stream goes live, so hit play, hang out, and talk about Kickoff with your fellow Cagesiders in the comments below!
