Exclusive Details On WWE’s Rooftop Money In The Bank Filming
WWE is getting creative.
It was revealed that WWE would be holding Money In The Bank at WWE HQ this week, and Fightful obtained some additional information. Talent was flown out on Tuesday and multiple matches were filmed simultaneously, taking from the early morning all the way until nearly midnight that night. The filming was said be be tedious, and a lot of “hurry up and wait” for the next shots to get set up.
Fightful was told that the matches were filmed in a more cinematic manner, but we don’t know if it will be more akin to the Boneyard Match, The Firefly Funhouse match, or the Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano match. Talent were also trying to stay warm during filming as they’d have to go from standing around to bumping on short notice.
We’re told there was also a hiccup that caused filming to stop for an undetermined period of time, but was eventually settled. We’re working to gain more information on that.
