Background
IWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view event centers around a match of the same name, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees the winner a match for a world championship at any time within the next year. The contracts for 2018 specifically granted the male and female winners a match for the world championship of their respective brand.

Male wrestlers compete for a contract to grant them a match for either Raw's Universal Championship or SmackDown's IWE Championship, while female wrestlers compete for a contract to grant them a match for either the Raw Women's Championship or SmackDown Women's Championship.
