Money in the Bank (2024)
It was the 15th annual Money in the Bank event and took place on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.The event aired via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.Money in the Bank is an annual professional wrestling event produced by the American promotion WWE since 2010, generally held between May and July.Along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, it is considered one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, referred to as the "Big Five".The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees the respective men's and women's winners a match for a championship of their choosing at any time within the next year.It aired on pay-per-view worldwide and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets.[5] It was also the first Money in the Bank since 2010 to get a new theme song by a recording artist with Tap by NAV (replacing "Gotta Get That", renamed to "Cash In" in 2023, which was used from 2019 to 2023).On July 5, WWE Hall of Famer and Toronto native Trish Stratus was revealed to be the host of the 2024 Money in the Bank.[12] On Night 2 of WrestleMania XL on April 7, Seth "Freakin" Rollins lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Drew McIntyre, who would in turn immediately lose the title to Damian Priest in the latter's Money in the Bank cash-in match.After Rhodes successfully defended the Undisputed WWE Championship at Clash at the Castle: Scotland, he was attacked by The Bloodline with Orton and Owens making the save.[16] On the following episode of SmackDown, Orton and Tama competed in a Money in the Bank qualifying match, but despite Loa's interference, the two lost.[9] On June 24, a six-man tag team match pitting The Bloodline against Rhodes, Owens, and Orton was announced for Money in the Bank.[10] The pay-per-view opened with the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, which involved Jey Uso, Chad Gable, and Drew McIntyre from Raw and Andrade, Carmelo Hayes, and LA Knight from SmackDown.As a result, Rollins was barred from challenging for the title for as long as Priest was champion, and also made McIntyre the sixth wrestler to fail a Money in the Bank cash-in.[1] The failed pin on Priest was a legitimate botch, and after the match, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that either WWE production had mistimed the cue for McIntyre's music, which was supposed to interrupt the count, or that Priest was supposed to kick out but had been concussed by the move, forcing the referee to pretend that there had been a kick out.[19] On the following episode of SmackDown, The Bloodline talked about their win at Money in the Bank and Solo Sikoa turned his attention to Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship.Rhodes brawled with The Bloodline, who gained the upper hand and even fended off an attack by Randy Orton before powerbombing him through the announce table.[20] Stratton would eventually cash in the contract on Jax on the January 3, 2025, episode of SmackDown to win the WWE Women's Championship.
