WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view will take place from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, on Sunday night. And while there are plenty of must-see matches on the show, it unfortunately will air at the same time as the Game of Thrones series finale.
As a result, fans have vented throughout the week about having to choose between one show or the other.

"So why did @WWE schedule Money in the Bank at the same time as the #GameOfThrones finale tomorrow?! Why are you making me choose???" Catilin Duffy wrote.
This may sound crazy, but I’m choosing to watch #MITB over Game of Thrones. I hope I’m making the right choice #WWE pic.twitter.com/H3S9Sav8TH

"We have #MITB and #GameOfThrones in the same night... My nerves..."Elias Ben tweeted.
Many fans also knocked the WWE for putting on the pay-per-view the same night as a major cultural event.
"I am kinda excited for #MITB tonight... however, this is not well planned by @WWE The last episode of Game of Thrones EVER is tonight as well.... sorry WWE but your live viewing numbers will be LOW," Jennifer Lynn wrote.
If there was ever a WWE ppv destined to have an abysmal low # of viewers tuning in, I think tonight's #MoneyInTheBank is the one. No disrespect to the talent, but come on.....

"Sorry @WWE, #MITB will have to be watched tomorrow/Tuesday because @GameOfThrones is more important today," "Ginja Ninja" wrote.
"My personal opinion is that Rollins/Styles should Main Event the show...it leaves open the door for a cash in as well... Either way WWE is fighting a losing battle with #GameOfThrones," Mike Mayer tweeted.
