Sources: WWE Planning to Hold ‘Money in the Bank’ and ‘SummerSlam’ in Front of Live Crowds

WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view will take place on June 20, far earlier than its usual October date, but for good reason. It will mark WWE’s final pay-per-view in the ThunderDome, with a return to the road scheduled to begin in July.

Per sources close to WWE, Sports Illustrated has learned that July’s pay-per-view will be Money in the Bank. The reason behind the move is that, internally, it is believed that Hell in a Cell in June will be a stronger broadcast from the ThunderDome, while Money in the Bank in July—which is currently slated to be held in front of a crowd in Texas—is significantly more captivating with fans.
