WWE will present its 2026 edition of the Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank, from New Orleans, Louisiana. The show is set for October 10 at the Smoothie King Center and will feature two namesake ladder matches for the coveted briefcase. The Money in the Bank qualifying matches began on the September 14 episode of Monday Night RAW. Kevin Owens has regained his spot as a top fixture on SmackDown ever since returning to WWE from a neck injury at SummerSlam 2026.
Moreover, the Young OG recently qualified for the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match by defeating Big Cass and Austin Theory. With his rising momentum and a spot already secured in the Money in the Bank ladder match, Evans could get a major push if he gets the win. The Prizefighter has been involved in the World title picture but hasn’t been able to win the gold so far.
In regard to the Men’s division, here are the five early favorites to win the Money in the Bank ladder match this year: Je’Von Evans has been an impressive in-ring talent in the WWE landscape today. His quick ascension in NXT led to his main roster call-up this year, and he has been a regular fixture on Monday Night RAW for months.
Penta has been a captivating WWE superstar since his 2025 debut. As a result, he could qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match and grab the briefcase to earn a more guaranteed shot at the title. As a result, WWE could reignite his push from before his injury, and he could win this year’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Therefore, WWE could continue Penta’s push and book him to win the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match to come into the World title picture.
Bronson Reed returned to WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event in highly impressive physical shape. He rejoined The Vision and has been looking dominant as ever. Moreover, he delivered one of the most spectacular in-ring performances in a major World title match against Roman Reigns on RAW in Mexico City. Bron Breakker became the first WWE superstar to qualify for this year’s Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The former NXT Champion has called himself the future and after being held back by injuries, Breakker could finally begin his march towards his first World Championship by winning the ladder match and earning the coveted opportunity.
