Production
Background
WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view event centers around a match of the same name, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees the winner a match for a world championship at any time within the next year. The contracts for 2018 specifically granted the male and female winners a match for the world championship of their respective brand. The 2019 event will include two ladder matches, one for male wrestlers and one for females, each having eight participants, evenly divided between the Raw and SmackDown brands. Male wrestlers compete for a contract to grant them a match for either Raw's Universal Championship or SmackDown's WWE Championship, while female wrestlers compete for a contract to grant them a match for either the Raw Women's Championship or SmackDown Women's Championship.
Storylines
The card is comprised of matches that results from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands.[2][3] Storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live.[4]
