Last night’s WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view ran for a time of 2 hours and 24 minutes, while the Kickoff pre-show ran it’s usual 1 hour, making the entire event 3 hours and 24 minutes in total, one of the shortest WWE pay-per-view times in recent memory with the addition of a Kickoff Show.
For those wondering, the decision to have the event not go long on time was a decision made by WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon as he wants to limit the amount of time and the talent that they bring in for pay-per-view events and not have them go 40-45 minutes for a match, unless there is a feeling that it should be that length.
There were initial plans to have the WWE Money in the Bank Ladder Match open last night’s show and feature picture-in-picture throughout the event, leading to the winners closing out the show, however McMahon also changed things up in recent days, putting the entire footage of the match as the main event of the pay-per-view.
