WWE continues to think outside the box while running shows during a pandemic.
The company announced during Friday Night Smackdown that the two Money in the Bank ladder matches at the May 10th event will take place at WWE headquarters in Stamford, CT.
Each match will begin on the ground floor with the briefcases hanging over a ring on the roof of the building. The winner of each match will have to fight their way to the top of the building and be the first person to grab the briefcase. POST Wrestling is reporting that the matches have already been taped.
And get ready to hear this phrase a lot during promotion: “CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER”.
