WWE Money in the Bank 2022 took place at Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 2. It featured Liv Morgan and Theory winning the respective Money In The Bank ladder matches. Previously, it was reported that MITB was to be held at the over 65,000 seater capacity Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas but was shifted to a 17,000 capacity MGM Grand Arena due to poor ticket sales.
According to the Fightful Select reports, even personnel in the company were surprised by the shift. WWE President Nick Khan has had plans for more stadium shows in a year. A source within WWE told Fightful that the company should’ve waited until after Hell In A Cell to gauge the expected ticket sales properly.
The report further noted that low ticket sales could be partially attributed to UFC 276, which was held at the T-Mobile Arena on the same night, less than a mile away. Although WWE reportedly advertised Money In The Bank before the announcement of UFC 276, it’s a tradition for the MMA promotion to hold a show on the July 4 weekend in their hometown of Las Vegas.
