The city of Milwaukee is making a bid to host WWE Money in the Bank next year.

Milwaukee Business Journal published a story on Tuesday revealing that tourism group Sports Milwaukee is putting together a bid for WWE Money in the Bank 2025. If the city is successful in their attempt, the PLE would be held at Fiserv Forum (the home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks).

It was reported earlier this year that Milwaukee is hoping to host a future WWE Royal Rumble event. Sports Milwaukee Director Marissa Werner believes that bringing Money in the Bank to the city could help Milwaukee be chosen for a bigger WWE show in the future.

“The hope is this would open the door for a SummerSlam or Royal Rumble,” Werner told Milwaukee Business Journal.

Fastlane 2017 was the most recent WWE PPV/PLE to take place from Milwaukee. Later this fall, Fiserv Forum will play host to the Friday, November 15 episode of WWE SmackDown.

Money in the Bank was held in Toronto, Canada this July and London, England in July 2023.
