Money In The Bank will feature WWE’s biggest Superstars and will
also bring the Money In The Bank ladder matches to the UK for the
first time in history, with each winner receiving a briefcase
containing a contract for a championship match at a time and place
of their choosing anytime within the next year.
“The O2 is one of the world’s premier venues and the perfect
home for Money In The Bank. We are excited to bring one of our ‘Big
5’ events to the UK and look forward to welcoming the WWE Universe
to London on July 1,” said Dan Ventrelle, EVP, Talent at WWE.
“We are honoured to be hosting the first ever Money In The Bank
event taking place in the UK here at The O2,” said Christian
D'Acuña, Senior Programming Director at The O2. “We’re looking
forward to welcoming back WWE fans to The O2 this summer for an

others, also could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements: the COVID-19
outbreak, which may continue to affect negatively world economies
as well as our industry, business and results of operations;
entering, maintaining and renewing major distribution and licensing
agreements; a rapidly evolving and highly competitive media
landscape; WWE Network; computer systems, content delivery and
online operations of our Company and our business partners; privacy
norms and regulations; our need to continue to develop creative and
entertaining programs and events; our need to retain and continue
to recruit key performers; the possibility of a decline in the
popularity of our brand of sports entertainment; the resignation of
Vincent K. McMahon; possible adverse changes in the regulatory
atmosphere and related private sector initiatives; the highly
competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented nature of
the markets in which we operate and/or our inability to compete
effectively, especially against competitors with greater financial
resources or marketplace presence; uncertainties associated with
international markets including possible disruptions and
reputational risks; our difficulty or inability to promote and

ownership of a substantial majority of our Class B common stock,
our controlling stockholder, Vincent K. McMahon could exercise
ultimate control over our affairs, and his interests may conflict
with the holders of our Class A common stock; our share repurchase
program; a substantial number of shares are eligible for sale by
the McMahons and the sale, or the perception of possible sales, of
those shares could lower our stock price; and the volatility of our
Class A common stock. In addition, our dividend and share
repurchases are dependent on a number of factors, including, among
other things, our liquidity and historical and projected cash flow,
strategic plan (including alternative uses of capital), our
financial results and condition, contractual and legal restrictions
on the payment of dividends (including under our revolving credit
facility), general economic and competitive conditions and such
other factors as our Board of Directors may consider relevant.
