WWE's Money in the Bank 2026 is taking shape with four wrestlers already qualified for the ladder matches. Bellingham Herald reports that Bron Breakker and Sol Ruca secured their spots on the Sept. 7 episode of Raw, while Je'Von Evans and Roxanne Perez earned the next two positions. The event moves to New Orleans on Oct. 10 at the Smoothie King Center, with winners receiving a guaranteed championship shot within one year.
More qualifiers will unfold on SmackDown and Raw over the coming weeks. A high-stakes men's match on Sept. 18 SmackDown will feature Randy Orton, United States Champion Trick Williams, and AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix battling for a briefcase spot. WWE is also reportedly considering Cody Rhodes and CM Punk as potential additions to the men's ladder match after recent storyline developments.
Four Wrestlers Secure Early Ladder Match Spots
Bron Breakker was the first to qualify on Sept. 7 Raw, followed by Sol Ruca in the women's division. Star-Telegram reports that Je'Von Evans defeated both Austin Theory and Big Cass to claim the third spot, while Vice defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan for the fourth qualification. The qualifiers guarantee each winner a championship opportunity anytime within the next 12 months after Money in the Bank concludes.
Orton, Williams, and Rey Fenix Compete for Men's Briefcase
SmackDown on Sept. 18 will showcase a critical men's qualifier at 8 p.m. ET. Miami Herald highlights the triple-threat between Randy Orton, Trick Williams, and Rey Fenix—three of WWE's strongest competitors in 2026. The winner advances directly to the six-person men's ladder match at Money in the Bank, with the losers watching from the sidelines.
Rhodes and Punk Rumored as Potential Additions
Cody Rhodes could enter the men's ladder match following recent friction with Randy Orton. Tri-City Herald notes that WWE announced a sit-down interview between Rhodes and Michael Cole after Orton made comments about the storyline. CM Punk is another possible entrant after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Sami Zayn at a recent event in Mexico City.
Past Cash-Ins Show Mixed Results for Winners
Winning a Money in the Bank briefcase doesn't guarantee success. Fresno Bee reports that Baron Corbin's 2017 cash-in attempt failed, while Otis won in 2020 but faced an unusual path to victory. Early predictions favor Bron Breakker to win the men's briefcase and Roxanne Perez to capture the women's briefcase. The event streams on ESPN App in the United States and Netflix internationally beginning at 6 p.m. ET on Oct. 10.
