WWE teases football star becoming Mr. Money in the Bank
WWE is bringing one of its regular premium live events to the UK this July, as Money in the Bank will take place in London. This could lead to some exciting crossovers, particularly in ladder matches for the briefcase.
The company is currently touring the UK for a few days, with a live event set to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester tonight. Ahead of the show, RAW stars Baron Corbin and Damage CTRL were invited to visit Manchester City Football Club and watch first-team training.
This comes one day after City's massive 4-1 win over Arsenal in the Premier League. Spirits were definitely high, but things could change come Money in the Bank. WWE has teased a Man City player entering the ladder match and winning the contract:
"Might there be a City contender willing to climb the ladder to grab a WWE contract when Money In The Bank heads to the UK on Saturday, 1st July…?"
It remains to be seen if there will be any Manchester City involvement at the July premium live event. Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland would be interesting contenders, with both looking just like Brock Lesnar.

However, before Money in the Bank comes around, City will focus on winning the English football treble: the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup. The Sky Blues are currently the favorites to win all three trophies.
WWE RAW stars are enjoying their visit to the UK ahead of Money in the Bank
While there is a live event in Manchester today, WWE held a show in Birmingham last night. Most of RAW's biggest stars were present, including Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare defeated Finn Balor in the main event. He was incredibly popular at the Utilita Arena.
