Money in the Bank 2020 will not look like this
WWE
Money in the Bank 2020 could be a train wreck. Instead of the usual ladder match, with half a dozen bodies scrambling to unclip a briefcase hanging atop the ring in front of a packed arena, this year the guys and gals will ascend WWE’s corporate headquarters to retrieve their briefcases. As in, they’ll start on the ground floor and race to the top where presumably there’ll be a ring (but who knows). What’s more, the women’s and men’s matches will happen at the same time.
So, like I said. A train wreck.
But if WrestleMania taught us anything, it’s that, in these strange times, WWE’s wacky ideas can actually turn out to be great. The Boneyard and Firefly Fun House matches, which sounded groan inducing on paper, were the highlights of WrestleMania Night 1 and Night 2 respectively. So who even knows anymore?
Elsewhere Seth Rollins, hot off losing to Kevin Owens at ‘Mania, is getting a shot at Drew McIntyre’s WWE Championship. Wrestling logic. Braun Strowman will defend his Universal Championship against former friend/cult leader Bray Wyatt.
It’s not clear if the whole card will take place at corporate headquarters, or just the Money in the Bank matches. The standard bouts could emanate from WWE’s Performance Center, as with the companies recent WrestleMania, Raw and SmackDown shows.
