WWE Money in the Bank delivered a night of championship drama, high-risk ladder action and major developments on Saturday in New Orleans.
The event featured two Money in the Bank ladder matches, a World Heavyweight Championship showdown between Roman Reigns and LA Knight, and a clash between two of WWE’s most powerful competitors, Oba Femi and Bronson Reed.
Reigns successfully defended his championship, while Tiffany Stratton secured the women’s Money in the Bank briefcase for the second time in her career.
Both results could have significant consequences for WWE’s championship picture in the months ahead.
1. World Heavyweight Championship
Winner: Roman Reigns
Reigns defeated LA Knight to retain the World Heavyweight Championship in a hard-fought main event.
Knight came close to victory with a BFT and a powerbomb through the announce table, but Reigns survived the near-falls and finished his opponent with two Superman Punches followed by a Spear.
After the match, The 946 confronted Reigns, triggering a chaotic confrontation involving The Usos and Solo Sikoa.
2. Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Winner: Tiffany Stratton
Stratton outlasted Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez and Lash Legend in a dangerous six-woman ladder match.
After several dramatic exchanges around the ladder, Stratton knocked Legend away and retrieved the briefcase.
The victory makes Stratton a two-time Women’s Money in the Bank winner and gives her another opportunity to pursue a championship on her own terms.
3. Oba Femi vs. Bronson Reed
Winner: Oba Femi
Femi and Reed delivered a physical heavyweight battle. Reed used his power and attempted to wear down Femi with repeated high-impact attacks, but Femi refused to stay down, even after interference and a Tsunami.
Femi rallied with a series of running uppercuts before finishing Reed with the Fall From Grace powerbomb.
4. Women’s World Championship — Triple Threat
Winner: Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan defeated defending champion Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch in a competitive triple-threat match to capture the Women’s World Championship.
All three competitors had opportunities to take control, but Morgan capitalized when Vaquer hit her Inferno on Lynch. With Lynch occupied, Morgan struck with Oblivion to secure the decisive pinfall and win the title.
5. Men’s Money in the Bank: Penta Makes History
Penta captured the men’s Money in the Bank briefcase after surviving a brutal six-man ladder match against Bron Breakker, CM Punk, Je’Von Evans, Kevin Owens and Trick Williams.
The match featured dangerous ladder manoeuvres, intense rivalries and a frightening moment when Evans crashed through an ambulance prop after falling from a ladder.
Breakker also unleashed his explosive power, but Penta found his opening, delivered a devastating Pile Driver onto a bridged ladder and climbed to retrieve the briefcase.
Biggest Moments of the Night
