The card is subject to change. Always.

Following on from WWE's decision to move 2 July's Money in the Bank 2022 premium live event out of Las Vegas, Nevada's 60,000-seater Allegiant Stadium and into the significantly smaller MGM Grand Garden Arena (12,000), the promotion has now removed several big-name wrestlers from the show's advertisements.

The updated event page on WWE.com now lists the following as "Featured Superstars":-

- Cody Rhodes

- Bianca Belair

- Drew McIntyre

- Riddle

- Rhea Ripley

- The Miz

Additionally, several potential headliners have been taken off the poster. Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and more, all of whom were featured before, are no longer there.

Of the wrestlers originally featured, only McIntyre, and Bianca Belair remain. Clearly, the "talent subject to change" disclaimer shown on the first graphic was 100% necessary.

These changes shouldn't necessarily be taken as a cast iron guarantee that names the calibre of Reigns won't be appearing at Money in the Bank 2022. Wrestling cards are always in flux, particularly when Vince McMahon is the promoter, though MITB's new, smaller venue means there is no longer such a need for the company to shift vast numbers of tickets.
