WWE Reschedules Money in the Bank for October 10 in New Orleans

Reports differ on whether a broadcast-window conflict or touring and production-truck logistics prompted the move, leaving September without a Premium Live Event.

Overview

  • WWE announced on June 8 that Money in the Bank will take place Saturday, October 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
  • Tickets go on sale with an exclusive presale starting July 9 at 10 a.m. ET and general sale on July 10 at 10 a.m. ET through Ticketmaster, and Priority Pass packages will be offered via On Location.
  • The event’s date has been changed twice already this year, first from August 29 to September 6 and now to October 10, creating repeated schedule shifts for the Premium Live Event.
  • Coverage offers two competing explanations for the latest move: Fightful reported a broadcast-partner scheduling conflict while Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer said touring routing and production-truck positioning were the drivers.
  • Money in the Bank awards a briefcase with a one-year contract for a title match, so the date change affects WWE’s talent pushes and the PLE calendar by placing MITB after Night of Champions and SummerSlam and leaving no PLE slated for September.
