However, the company usually runs its shows in MGM garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Money in the Bank was reported to be held in Texas. However, details regarding the exact city where the event will happen have yet to be revealed. Wrestling Inc. noted that the Money in the Bank would happen with fans in attendance in the venue.

Why Was the WWE Hell in a Cell Scheduled Earlier?

Usually, Hell in a Cell takes place in the month of October, but the WWE moved the event in June for a good reason.

WWE Chief Financial Officer Kristina Salen noted that the company has no plans of going back to a ThunderDome residency once they return to touring, including the Money in the Bank to be held in Texas and WWE SummerSlam in Nevada. Sports Illustrated noted that weekly travel would start for Raw and Smackdown later this year.
