WWE Money in the Bank: Start time, how to watch, full card and WWE Network
Time to cure that WrestleMania hangover.
Get hyped.
WrestleMania 34 was a grappling bonanza, but now it's time to look forward to the next big thing. Money in the Bank is the next special event being broadcast on the WWE Network, where you can watch it live on Sunday, May 19.
It should be quite the show. Not only will it feature fallout from WrestleMania, including title defenses from new champions Kofi Kingston and Becky Lynch, it also has two of its eponymous eight-person ladder matches.
For the uninitiated, Money in the Bank matches pit several competitors against each other with a briefcase hanging on top of the ring. A wrestler wins when he climbs a ladder and claims the briefcase. Inside is a contract for a championship match at a time of their choosing, including, say, after the champion has just gotten the snot kicked out of them.
So basically, whoever wins Money in the Bank is likely to win a championship shortly thereafter.
Ladder matches purvey some of the most fun you'll see in a WWE ring, which has led Money in the Bank to be one of the most popular pay-per-view events each year. Be on high alert, too: WWE's ratings have taken a hit recently, and usually the company tends to panic and make big moves when that happens.
You may have a WrestleMania hangover, but if you're a wrestling fan this won't be one to miss.
