Money in the Bank Event Not Sold Out

Sunday’s WWE Money in the Bank event has not sold out yet.

Ticket IQ claims that there are still hundreds of seats available for the event via TicketMaster with rices ranging from $50 to $1005. The average sale price is $155 with cheapest seats starting at $47 on the secondary market.

At this time, prices are very similar to the last pay-per-view event held at Scottrade Center, during the same time frame; 2015’s Battleground featured an average resale price of $157 with cheapest seats costing $53.

WWE has been having a downward trend at events recently. It’s being said that the trend has to do with the ticket price increase for their shows.

When asking Buff about the retirement decision he simply said:

“When going with the Buff Daddy character I knew it was going to be a blessing and a curse.” The blessing was, it was always an over exaggerated part of me so it was easy and a lot of fun to do, but when you call yourself BUFF!! You better damn sure live it and be in that gym 4-5 times per week.

Going into my 28th year in ring performing and with injuries and a few major surgeries over these last few years I really wanted to end my in-ring career still looking and performing like Buff Bagwell.

WWE Planning “Something Significant” for the UK Brand

Jim Ross briefly mentioned plans for the upcoming UK show for the WWE Network on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio. While Ross didn’t reveal many details, he did mention that there are plans to do “something significant” for the brand. Ross said that talks are still on-going and the belief is he is just waiting to find out himself.

As previously noted, there was speculation that WWE would be adding a weekly show to the WWE Network that would consist of UK Superstars. The show was rumored to be taped once a month overseas once a month, with the shows airing later on the Network.

Rusev Cleared to Return to Action

Rusev has been medically cleared to return to action.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Rusev met with doctors yesterday and was given the go-ahead to return to in-ring competition. Rusev had surgery back in March to repair an undisclosed shoulder injury.

WWE teased Rusev’s return on SmackDown Live last month to confront Shane McMahon for not putting him in the Money in the Bank main event. Those plans ultimately got nixed. It is very possible that Rusev not being cleared at the time could be the reason for those plans following through.

But who will walk out on Sunday as the first ever ‘Mrs. Money in the Bank’? Let’s take a look through each opponent and rank their chances of winning from worst to best.

Triple H Frustrated With Vince McMahon

Triple H is reportedly frustrated with Vince McMahon and the recent booking of NXT Superstars on the main roster.

According to Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch, Triple H hasn’t been very impressed with how Vince McMahon has used some of the NXT call-ups.

WWE SmackDown Live Results – 13 June 2017

Welcome to our coverage of SmackDown Live for the 13th of June 2017!

The Money in the Bank competitors will square-off tonight in a huge six-man tag team match, with AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Sami Zayn, taking on Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, and Baron Corbin. Tonight’s match gives a couple of guys a chance to gain some much-needed momentum heading into the all-important match on Sunday night.

Ahead of their huge title rematch at Money in the Bank, Randy Orton comes face-to-face with Jinder Mahal.  Sunday’s show is set in Randy’s hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, so can he win his 14th World Heavyweight Championship. I would expect fireworks to happen tonight with Orton taking the fight to Mahal and The Singh Brothers!

Also on tonight’s show, Breezango will tag with The New Day to take on The Uso’s and The Colon’s. Naomi is set to face Tamina in singles competition, which is a big opportunity for the second generation star. Naomi’s challenger at MITB, Lana , could cost her the match and give Tamina some huge momentum. On top of that, Natalya also faces Charlotte ahead of their big ladder match.

All that and more to look forward to on tonight’s SmackDown Live! Are you excited to see the show? Let us know in the comments and be sure to check out the Ringside News app, and enjoy the show!
