On the road to Survivor Series: WarGames in Houston, the WWE makes a pit stop in New Orleans for an epic night of massive title bouts and dizzying ladder matches during Money in the Bank.
The premium live event features five high-profile matches, including Roman Reigns defending his World Heavyweight Championship title belt against LA Knight and two ladder matches for championship contracts, as well as celebrity sightings in New Orleans.
Money in the Bank happens on Saturday (Oct. 10), beginning at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. The event takes place at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Although WWE has yet to announce who would perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America” at the start of the event, promoters named “A Milli” by Lil Wayne the official song of Money in the Bank . It’s likely the rapper would make an appearance at the WWE event or perform the track since he is from New Orleans.
