Undertaker doc, Bank PPV tonight
WWE presents Money in the Bank on the WWE Network tonight, but the big news is that the five-part documentary series on The Undertaker debuts immediately after the PPV ends.
Taker doc to give unique look
The first episode of 鈥淭he Undertaker: The Last Ride鈥� debuts tonight after the Money in the Bank event.
It will give fans a behind the curtains look at the man behind the greatest character in pro wrestling history.
Mark Callaway has been performing as The Undertaker since late-1990 and as his legendary career nears its end, he approached WWE about doing this type of documentary.
The second through fifth episodes will air on subsequent Sunday鈥檚 and each will begin at 10 a.m. and also be on demand on the WWE Network.
Money in the Bank preview
Tonight鈥檚 show will be unique for two reasons.
The WWE is holding its first-ever Corporate Money in the Bank at WWE HQ matches and they will take place simultaneously.
The men鈥檚 match will feature Aleister Black, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, Baron Corbin, AJ Styles and Otis while the women鈥檚 match will feature Asuka, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Dana Brooke, Carmella and Lacey Evans.
Both matches will start at the bottom of WWE Headquarters and the competitors will make their way up to the roof of Titan Towers where the Money in the Bank briefcases will hang above a wrestling ring.
Those two matches were already taped while the rest of the card will air live.
In title matches, Drew McIntyre defends the WWE title against Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman defends the Universal title against Bray Wyatt, Bayley defends her Smackdown title against Tamina, and The New Day defends the Smackdown tag titles against John Morrison & The Miz, Lucha House Party and The Forgotten Sons.
In other matches, R-Truth faces MVP and the Kickoff Show will feature Jeff Hardy taking on Cesaro.

Boston not hosting SummerSlam
It was announced Friday that the city of Boston, through the end of the summer, will not be hosting any events or allowing large crowds to gather.
This means that SummerSlam weekend, which was going to have four days of events in Boston, will have to take place elsewhere.
The WWE Performance Center is the logical location at this time.

WrestleMania III Recall will air Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on FS1.
This show is most remembered for Hulk Hogan handing Andre the Giant his first WWE pinfall loss in 15 years, but it was the Ricky Steamboat and Savage Intercontinental title match that stole the show.
It was considered the greatest WWE match until the Michaels and Taker classic at Mania 25.
