WWE Money in the Bank 2019 Card: Every Match Going Down This Sunday

The Money in the Bank pay-per-view is often thought of as on par with the "Big 4" shows in WWE's calendar in terms of importance. This annual event will crown a Money in the Bank winner who can use their newly acquired contract to challenge the champion of their choosing, almost guaranteeing a victory.

Money in the Bank 2019 has 10 confirmed matches on the card and as the WWE Universe saw this past Monday with Sami Zayn taking Braun Strowman's place in the ladder match, things are bound to change.

Here's all of the matches at this year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Note: this list is subject to change.
