WWE Money In The Bank 2026 Predictions: Wrestling Inc. Picks The Winners

We are mere hours away from WWE Money in the Bank 2026, which comes your way live from New Orleans on Saturday night! There are five matches on the card — two Money in the Bank ladder matches, two world championship matches, and one match between two real big dudes — and as always, the Wrestling Inc. staff are here to predict the winners of each and every one of them?

How have our predictions been going lately, you ask? Not too bad, actually! We didn't have perfection. across the board for AEW All Out, but we did pretty well all things considered. Granted, this isn't the easiest MITB to call — the ladder matches in particular seem pretty wide open — but we're pretty sure we know how everything is about to go down. Who's walking out of New Orleans with wins, gold, and briefcases? Let's get to the picks!

It's been said before, but it really feels like now or never for The Vision's Bron Breakker, though he's up against some stiff competition in Penta, CM Punk, and Kevin Owens, as well as newcomers Je'Von Evans and United States Champion Trick Williams in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Fifty percent of us believe he's going to climb the ladder and capture the briefcase.

If Breakker is really going to become the "Future of WWE," he's going to need the Money in the Bank contract. We think he needs it the most out of anyone, as Penta is already over, especially after his World Heavyweight Championship match with Roman Reigns in Mexico City, and Punk and Owens are involved in their own story, amongst a few other challengers, for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the blue brand. Williams is already holding gold, and Evans hasn't been close to the top title scene just yet, though there's still plenty of time for the "Young OG."

Breakker has been on the cusp of greatness for quite some time, as far back as when he was flaunting the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder after Seth Rollins was injured. While some fans expected him to defeat Punk and win the gold officially at the beginning of the year, that never happened. His WrestleMania 42 plans were also derailed by injury. He's been in a lackluster storyline alongside The Vision ever since, and winning the MITB briefcase is just what Breakker needs to get back to the level he was on to kick off 2026, and beyond, if he can cash it in successfully.

We said it six months ago: Roxanne Perez needs to break free of The Judgment Day. One way to do that is by winning the Women's Money in the Bank briefcase and potentially standing her ground as a world champion.

As it stands, Perez's Judgment Day stablemate Liv Morgan proclaims herself as "the greatest women's champion of all time" (emphasis on "all"). Raquel Rodriguez actively reigns as the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion. Then, in her case, Perez is referred to as "The Prodigy," a nickname indicative of something greater awaiting her.

The problem is that Perez has been waiting for something greater for nearly two years. That will likely remain the case, too, unless she makes a dramatic change. At this point, we're wondering how much longer can Perez go on being called a "prodigy" without any real payoff. Fortunately for her, 71% of us believe it'll only be a matter of days, as she's emerged as our frontrunner in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

A MITB win would guarantee Perez an opportunity to finally elevate her status to world champion. Furthermore, it would likely provide a pathway for her to exit the Judgment Day, much to the chagrin of a jealous Liv Morgan. As the old saying goes: two birds, one stone.

Of course, we can't rule out other Money in the Bank possibilities — 14% of the WINC staff are betting on Tiffany Stratton repeating history by claiming the coveted briefcase, then cashing it in on a close friend, in this case WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green. Sol Ruca and WWE Women's United States Champion Jacy Jayne, meanwhile, have each rallied 7% of our vote.

While it's nice that The Vision is mostly back together, the ship has sailed, and WWE needs to focus on its current project: Oba Femi.

As such, 100% of the Wrestling Inc. staff think that Femi will defeat Reed at Money In The Bank. Reed was, at one point, in the position Femi is now — a big motherf***** who is ready to rocket into the stratosphere — but that was a couple of injuries ago. Femi is the man of the moment, the man who retired Brock Lesnar, and the man who has fans chanting in a way that Reed didn't, even at his peak.

WWE simply cannot afford another GUNTHER situation, where a rising former NXT Champion retires legends of the Ruthless Aggression era, and then goes on to achieve little else. The road to Oba vs. Roman is clear, which is why the staff is certain that a win over Reed will be a major step towards that goal. The fact that he's not in the Money In The Bank match is a good sign that the company isn't trying to force him into some "moment." They clearly see him as a bonafide contender, and hopefully this rings true on Saturday.

Stephanie Vaquer will be defending her women's world title against the two who shared the ring with her as she initially won it in Chile last month, facing former champions Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch in a triple threat at Money in the Bank. 

Vaquer defeated Morgan for the title at a live show with Lynch as the special guest referee making the count, marking a shift in direction from the chase that Vaquer and Lynch had been on. Morgan was not content to watch Vaquer and Lynch fight over the title she held and sought to reclaim it, while Vaquer was more than happy to put the title on the line against both of them. 

Nevertheless, it was decided that Lynch and Morgan would fight for the right to face the new champion first, and they met in the ring for that this past Monday. However, Vaquer ensured to attack them before the final bell to make the triple threat official out of necessity. 

It might be that assured energy of the champion that played a part in 71% of the Wrestling Inc. staff predicting her to retain the title when all is said and done. After all, this is her first title defense barely a month after she won it in the first place. 

There is of course 29% who believe she won't, though interestingly no one believes in "The Man" to claim the title for the first time since 2024. Instead that entire portion is of the belief that Morgan will reclaim her title.

"The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight, but we just don't believe it's the "Megastar's" time, no matter how over he is in front of crowds. The majority of us here at WINC, 93% to be exact, believe that Reigns is walking out of New Orleans with the title, to move on to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to fight for the Crown Jewel Championship.

If WWE wasn't going to take the title off Reigns, at least for a few months before WrestleMania season, by having Penta win in Mexico City, it doesn't seem likely that anyone else is beating the "OTC" before the "Showcase of the Immortals" next year. With Oba Femi waiting in the wings, seemingly specifically for Reigns, Knight's chances don't look too good, even months before WrestleMania

There were reports that Reigns and Knight's go-home segment on "WWE Raw," where Knight called the champion a "manufactured corporate puppet," was well-received backstage. However, those reports said it was Reigns' acting that really impressed, which doesn't bode well for Knight. Fans have also seen firsthand, via "WWE Unreal," how Knight is sometimes perceived backstage by officials like Triple H, and that doesn't give us much confidence in him.

It's no secret that WWE wants to keep Saudi fans happy, and booking Reigns, who is already advertised for Crown Jewel, against whoever is holding the Undisputed WWE Championship on "WWE SmackDown" at the time, is more than likely. There are mega-fans of the "Megastar" who would love to see him go over and hold the World Heavyweight Championship, but we don't believe that's happening at Money in the Bank.
