Money in the Bank (2013) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE, which took place on July 14, 2013 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the fourth annual Money in the Bank event. This event marked the return of Rob Van Dam to the WWE. The event received 199,000 buys, which is up from last year's event of 188,000. ==Background== Money in the Bank featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on WWE's primary television programs, ''Raw'' and ''SmackDown''.

As he finished, Mark Henry then came out to the ring to seemingly announce his retirement. After an "emotional" promo, as Cena went to congratulate him, Henry revealed the act as a ruse to attack Cena with the World's Strongest Slam and declare his intentions to challenge for the one major championship he has never won in his career, the WWE Championship. Later during the show, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced that Cena would defend the WWE Championship against Henry and the winner of the WWE Championship Money In The Bank ladder match in a triple threat match the Money in the Bank event.
