WWE Money in the Bank 2026 arrives Saturday, October 10, live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
The event begins at 6 p.m. ET, with two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches headlining a card packed with major championship implications.
World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight 1st match
Prediction: Roman Reigns retains
This is one of the most anticipated matches on the card.
Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Penta in September, only for LA Knight to confront him immediately afterward. WWE subsequently made the championship match official.
Knight has the crowd firmly behind him and has the momentum to make this a competitive fight, but Reigns losing the championship here would be a major surprise.
Pick: Roman Reigns
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Bron Breakker vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Trick Williams vs. Penta vs. CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens
This is arguably the most unpredictable match of the night,. The six competitors bring very different styles, from Breakker’s explosive power to Punk and Owens’ experience.
Favorites
CM Punk — The veteran understands exactly how to win a chaotic ladder match and already has Money in the Bank history.
Bron Breakker — Breakker could use the briefcase to establish himself as an immediate World Championship threat.
Trick Williams — His popularity and momentum make him an intriguing choice.
Kevin Owens — Owens has the experience and willingness to take enormous risks.
Prediction: CM Punk wins
Punk winning the briefcase would immediately create multiple storyline possibilities.
A future cash-in against Reigns—or another major champion—would give WWE a huge angle heading toward WrestleMania season.
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Sol Ruca vs. Lola Vice vs. Jacy Jayne vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Lash Legend vs. Tiffany Stratton
The women’s field is loaded with young talent and championship experience. Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez and Jacy Jayne are particularly dangerous in this environment.
Favorites
Tiffany Stratton — A former Money in the Bank winner, Stratton knows how important the briefcase can be.
Roxanne Perez — Her technical ability and athleticism make her an excellent ladder-match competitor.
Lash Legend — Her size gives her a significant advantage around the ladders..?
.
Sol Ruca — One of the most athletic competitors in the field.
Prediction: Tiffany Stratton wins
Stratton would instantly become a threat to either women’s world championship.
Another Money in the Bank victory would also reinforce her position as one of WWE’s top future stars.
Women’s World Championship
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan
Prediction: Stephanie Vaquer retains
Vaquer reclaimed the Women’s World Championship from Liv Morgan in Chile, with Becky Lynch serving as special guest referee.
The rivalry between Vaquer, Lynch and Morgan has now evolved into a Triple Threat title match
This could be one of the night’s best technical matches.
?Morgan and Lynch have plenty of motivation to take the championship, but Vaquer has an opportunity to establish herself as the centerpiece of the division.
Pick: Stephanie Vaquer
Oba Femi vs. Bronson Reed
Prediction: Oba Femi
This is the power fight of the night.
Femi has been targeted by The Vision, with Reed stepping forward to answer Femi’s challenge.
The matchup pits two of WWE’s most physically imposing competitors against each other.
.
