The status of Roman Reigns for the upcoming WWE Money in the Bank 2023 event in London, England was already confirmed, earlier. In the latest, WWE has now officially again his presence for the show through a press release to further confirm the top superstar’s presence at the event. This should put an end to the speculation surrounding his involvement in the event.
Not only, Roman Reigns will be in action in the 2023 iteration of WWE Money in the Bank premium live event, but he is also scheduled to appear, live at The O2 in London for the go-home SmackDown episode for the PLE on Friday, June 30. Money in the Bank will go down a day later on Saturday, July 1, 2023. This announcement should make the fans excited about the event and boost the ticket-selling.
