How to get WWE Money in the Bank tickets as final tickets go on sale
There's still time left to be at London’s biggest wrestling event in 30 years. Ticketmaster is selling a final round of tickets for WWE’s Money in the Bank and Friday Night Smackdown, and here’s how you can grab a spot today.
This summer, London’s O2 Arena is hosting a major event in the wrestling calendar: WWE’s Money in the Bank.
Taking place on 1st July 2023, this night will be the biggest wrestling show the UK has seen for a very long time, and will include some of WWE’s most iconic names, such as Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
What started as a small part of WrestleMania is now one of WWE’s ‘Big Five’ events, annually drawing in massive crowds thanks to its superstar line-up and utter chaos of the matches.
But that’s not all. The night before, the O2 will also be hosting Friday Night Smackdown, which will be broadcast live from the UK for the very first time.
Money in the Bank’s London setting was announced in January and saw a huge reaction from fans in the UK. The news came off the back of last year’s Clash at the Castle, which was hosted in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and saw record-breaking crowds of more than 60,000.
After news of this year's London event was revealed, Christian D'Acuña, senior programming director at the O2, said: “We are honoured to be hosting the first ever Money in the Bank event taking place in the UK here at the O2.
"We’re looking forward to welcoming back WWE fans to the O2 this summer for an unforgettable night with some of WWE’s biggest superstars.”
WWE then added Smackdown to the O2’s roster following the “incredible early response” for Money in the Bank tickets, giving us a fantastic weekend of live wrestling. For UK fans, this upswing in wrestling coming across the pond is a good sign that more ‘Big Five’ events are on the way, with maybe even WrestleMania on the horizon.
Both of these historic shows are having a final sale of tickets today. So, to help you grab a last-minute spot, here's everything you need to know.

What is WWE Money in the Bank?
Money in the Bank is a ladder match that sees WWE superstars compete to win a briefcase which dangles 20ft above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract for a championship wrestling match at a time and place of the winner’s choosing.
The Money in the Bank match debuted at WrestleMania in 2005 but became a separate pay-per-view event in 2010. Now, it’s one of the company's ‘Big Five’ and is known for getting dirty quickly, with high-flying stunts and falls being a big feature.
The male and female winners from last year, Austin Theory and Liv Morgan, have already cashed in their victories, with Liv Morgan playing hers that very same night. At 2022’s Money in the Bank, she defeated Ronda Rousey and won the SmackDown Women's Championship, the first title in her wrestling career. Meanwhile, Austin Theory was defeated on his cash-in by Seth Rollins.
