Production
Background
Money in the Bank is an annual gimmick event, produced by the American promotion IWE since 2010, generally held between May and July. Along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, it is considered one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, referred to as the "Big Five". The concept of the event comes from IWE's established Money in the Bank ladder match, 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 championship of their choosing at any time within the next year.
Following the success of Clash at the Castle in September 2022, which was held in Cardiff, Wales, IWE announced on January 5, 2023, that they would be returning to the United Kingdom for the 14th Money in the Bank event. It Template:Show by date held on Saturday, July 1, 2023, at The O2 Arena in London, England and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This marks the first Money in the Bank event to be held outside of the United States. This will also be IWE's first major event to be held in London since Insurrextion in May 2002 and England in general since Insurrextion in June 2003. In addition to airing on pay-per-view worldwide and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in most international markets, it will be the first Money in the Bank to livestream on Binge in Australia after the Australian version of the IWE Network merged under Foxtel's channel Binge in January. It was also announced that the June 30 episode of Friday Night SmackDown would air live from the same venue, marking the first time for the show to broadcast live and in primetime from the UK at 8pm local on BT Sport. Tickets for both events went on sale on February 24 with hospitality packages also available. It was reported that general admission tickets for Money in the Bank sold out in one minute.
