On April 5, 2024, WWE announced 22 live events as part of its 2024 touring schedule. Tickets for each event, including individual tickets for Money in the Bank on Saturday, July 6, went on sale Friday, April 12, at 10 a.m. local time. Fightful published the full release, which this page summarizes.

The first date on the list was Friday Night SmackDown on June 21, 2024, at Allstate Arena in Chicago. The next listed event was Friday Night SmackDown at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 28. After that came a Toronto block at Scotiabank Arena: SmackDown on Friday, July 5, and Money in the Bank on Saturday, July 6, both sold with individual tickets.

Wrestlingheadlines reported the Garden show would be a live episode of SmackDown on FOX, announced on the night of WrestleMania XL's go-home episode.

The show took place as scheduled. WWE's own preview called it a Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony, one week after Jacob Fatu arrived and Solo Sikoa claimed Roman Reigns would not return. The highlight video embedded below is from that night's SmackDown but shows a different segment, Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton squaring off, not the Bloodline ceremony.

WWE kept adding to the schedule through the year. On July 12, 2024 it announced 15 more live events, including a Monday Night RAW in Boston on December 16. The April list was a snapshot of events as announced. More coverage is in the [news archive](/news).
