How many WWE stars will be in the 2023 Money in the Bank Ladder Match?

Set to take place on Saturday, July 1, at The O2 Arena in London, WWE Money in the Bank 2023 will be the 14th edition of the namesake event. The Premium Live Event is already in the history books for being the first to be held in England after Insurrextion in June 2003. This year's event is also expected to sell 10,000+ tickets compared to 2022.

Last year, seven competitors fought to retrieve the briefcase from the top of the ladder. Austin Theory was a surprise addition to the men's match. He later became the first superstar to cash in for a non-world title. Liv Morgan won the women's match and she cashed in the briefcase successfully on that very night.

WWE is now following the traditional method for the 2023 Money in the Bank. Six superstars will compete in the ladder matches, but there could be some last-minute surprise additions.

The six-man ladder match idea was first incorporated in 2005 at WrestleMania 21, where Edge won the coveted briefcase that gives the holder the right to challenge a champion anytime in a full calendar year.

Ladders will be placed ringside and competitors would need to position them perfectly in the middle of the squared circle to have maximum chances to grab the briefcase. Obviously, some have tried risky shortcuts. The multi-star showdown often focuses on extreme action due to the stakes involved.

Apart from that, a few title showdowns could also be booked for July. More on that here.
