Money in the Bank is a professional wrestling pay-per-view and IWE Network event produced by IWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It is scheduled to take place on July 18, 2021 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. It will be the 12th event in the Money in the Bank chronology and the first to take place in the state of Texas.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IWE had presented their shows for Raw and SmackDown from a bio-secure bubble called the IWE ThunderDome since August 2020, with the exception of IWE WrestleMania 37 in April 2021, which was the company's first major event to have live ticketed fans since the pandemic began in mid-March 2020. With the decline of cases and the development of vaccines, IWE announced that they would be leaving the ThunderDome and returning to a live touring schedule in mid-July 2021 with Money in the Bank being the first pay-per-view on this initial 25-city tour. This will also be IWE's first pay-per-view held outside of the state of Florida since Elimination Chamber in March 2020.

[edit] Production

[edit] Background

Money in the Bank (MITB) is an annual gimmick pay-per-view (PPV) and IWE Network event produced by IWE since 2010 and generally held between May and July. The concept of the show 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 world championship of their choosing at any time within the next year. The 2021 event will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands, with male wrestlers competing for a contract to grant them a match for either Raw's IWE Championship or SmackDown's Universal Championship, while female wrestlers will compete for a Raw Women's Championship or SmackDown Women's Championship match contract. The 2021 event will take place on May 16 and will be the 12th event in the Money in the Bank chronology.

The show will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
