Show Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images The status of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, two of WWE's biggest draws, is reportedly "up in the air" for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on July 2 in Las Vegas. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported (via H. Jenkins of Ringside News) that both Superstars were originally scheduled to appear on the card, but plans have started to shift following the event's venue change. Money in the Bank was scheduled to take place at Allegiant Stadium, the 65,000-seat home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. The company has since switched the location to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which seats a more modest 17,000. While WWE didn't confirm a reason for the change, it's fair to assume there were concerns about whether they'd be able to sell enough tickets to sell out the much larger venue. Meltzer previously reported only 16,833 tickets for MITB were sold as of May 6. As part of the changes, both Reigns and Lesnar were removed from the promotional poster, raising questions about whether they'd take part in the show, per Jenkins. Zack Heydorn of PWTorch reported Reigns' recent contract extension with WWE included a lighter schedule, both in terms of television appearances and house shows, which is something the company's top champion hinted toward at recent live events. "From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all of y'all," he told a crowd in Iowa. "I obviously had the internet talking last week or the week before that. I'm not going to be doing too many live events like these, on Sundays, going forward. So, this could be my last one." He's still likely to headline WWE's four marquee events—Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series—but things are less certain beyond that. Meanwhile, Lesnar has long maintained a limited schedule that usually surrounds storylines leading up to high-profile shows. Money in the Bank at an NFL stadium would have qualified, but with the event being scaled down, it sounds possible he'll be removed from the card. Superstars still featured on the updated promotional MITB material include Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Bianca Belair, Riddle and The Miz.

WWE Money in the Bank 2022 is just over a month away, but it's reportedly unknown if two of the company's top stars will appear at the show. Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar headlined WrestleMania 38 back in April. The latter hasn't appeared on television ever since, and Reigns will be working a reduced schedule going forward under his new contract. Neither superstar is currently advertised for Money in the Bank, which will run on July 2 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Dave Meltzer reported that WWE initially had a Reigns vs. Riddle match planned for Money in the Bank. But according to Meltzer, "everything regarding" The Tribal Chief and Lesnar for MITB "is now said to be up in the air." Money in the Bank was initially scheduled to take place at Allegiant Stadium (home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders) in Paradise, Nevada. But earlier this week, WWE emailed fans to let them know that the event was being moved over to the much smaller MGM Grand Garden Arena, which can hold crowds of slightly over 17,000. Allegiant Stadium, which hosted SummerSlam 2021, has a capacity of 65,000.
Regarding Reigns' future opponents, Meltzer also noted that initial plans had Reigns facing Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2022 on July 30 (at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee) and Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle on Sept. 3 (at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales). No Reigns Or Lesnar For MITB Would Open The Door For Other StarsWWE has been extremely reliant on both Reigns and Lesnar for marquee pay-per-views for over seven years now. If neither talent competes at Money in the Bank 2022, it would open up opportunities for other superstars to assert themselves as top main eventers. No Reigns or Lesnar would add that much more hype and anticipation to the men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches, too. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens. WWE could easily make a last-minute call of some kind and decide to use both Reigns and Lesnar at Money in the Bank. The company has just over a month to decide.
