#1 The complete return of the WWE Universe
WWE fans were in attendance, in limited numbers, at WrestleMania 37. McIntyre won the title from Brock Lesnar in 2020 but was unable to celebrate with fans in attendance. As a result, Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley was booked as the opening match of this year's pay-per-view.

Restrictions are being lifted slowly in many states in the United States. By July, many hope to re-open things as they were before the pandemic.
The WWE is just like everyone else wishing for things to go back to normal. Normal for wrestling means fans.
After WrestleMania Backlash, some reports emerged that stated WWE wanted its first big show to have a significant return of fans. Without having to move SummerSlam from its usual August slot, Money in the Bank represented the next big PPV.
While it isn't one of the 'big four' PPVs for WWE, it is still highly anticipated due to the potential to see the making of a future star. The fan reaction always makes the ladder match better, so moving MITB back a month makes sense.
Having shows in the Thunderdome has maintained somewhat of a fan presence, but it's not the same as actual fans in seats. Piping in crowd noise may work to a degree, but the best reactions are real.
Fans should finally be booing Roman Reigns because he is a dastardly heel and not because they are tired of his constant pushes.
The simple fact is that fans just make professional sports better due to the reality of their reactions. They can boo and cheer for whomever they want, making anticipated moments all the better.
Daniel Bryan's win at WM 30 would have been greatly affected had fans not been in attendance.
Moving MITB back one month so that fans can be in attendance in Texas is the right call. The WWE Universe makes the moments more special, so waiting a little longer is okay.
What do you make of the move? Is it the right decision? Sound off in the comment section!
