After the WWE draft returned in 2016, Raw and SmackDown Live were both given their own exclusive pay-per-views with the exception of Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, WrestleMania and SummerSlam which are all co-branded pay-per-views.
But now WWE has made a big change to their pay-per-view schedule as PWInsider is reporting that the Money In The Bank PPV will now be a co-branded event.
The full PPV schedule for 2018 will feature 14 events, with Raw getting 5 pay-per-views, SmackDown Live getting 4 and both brands competing at 5 co-branded events. You can check out the full schedule for 2018 along with dates and locations below.

With the Money In The Bank pay-per-view now being a co-branded event, it will be interesting to see how many Money In The Bank ladder matches are featured on the pay-per-view next year, especially now that the women’s Money In The Bank match has been added to the mix.
