WWE’s Money in the Bank Kickoff event is happening today (Fri., July 5) live at 5 p.m. EDT in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
At one point WWE called these pre-premium live event pep rallys “press conferences”, but because they weren’t — and because they now hold those after PLEs as part of the Post Show) — they’re 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 along as usual tomorrow before the big show, as usual.
For today’s Kickoff, event host & WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus says she’ll be on hand, and of course the company’s Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesqueas will be there. WWE promises World Heavyweight champion Damian Priest, entrants in the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches, “and more”. As for who that could mean, here’s a rundown of 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 & Kevin Owens vs. The Bloodline
