[edit] Production

[edit] Background

WIW'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. The 2019 event will include two ladder matches, one for male wrestlers and one for females, each having eight participants, evenly divided between the Raw and SmackDown brands. Male wrestlers compete for a contract to grant them a match for either Rage's World Championship or ShowDown's WIW Heavyweight Championship, while female wrestlers compete for a contract to grant them a match for either the Rage World Women's Championship or ShowDown Heavyweight Women's Championship.

[edit] Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WIW's writers on the Rage and ShowDown brands. Storylines are produced on WIW's weekly television shows Wednesday Night Rage, Thursday Night ShowDown, and the cruiserweight-exclusive Dynamites Live.

At SuperBrawl XI, Ali Richards defeated Sis Bates and Avery Gold in a winner takes all triple threat match to win both the World and Heavyweight Women's Championships. She was then double booked to defend both championships at Money in the Bank. For the World Women's Championship.

For the WIW Heavyweight Women's Championship, former champion Avery Gold took issue that she lost her title despite not being the one who was pinned at SuperBrawl. Richard exclaimed that she would not freely give Gold a rematch and demanded new challengers. Among the named challengers was new ShowDown draftee Ashley Holshue and one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions Julie Carter. Gold then defeated Carter and Holshue in a triple threat elimination match to earn a Heavyweight Women's Championship match at Money in the Bank.
