WWE’s Money in the Bank 2026 event is set for October 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, featuring the traditional men’s and women’s ladder matches with six participants each. So far, only two competitors have secured their spots through victories on the September 7 episode of Raw. Bron Breakker earned his place in the men’s match by defeating Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page in a triple threat, while Sol Ruca qualified for the women’s match after a triple threat win over Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri, aided by the interference of returning star Bayley.

Friday’s Smackdown episode in Mexico City brought significant developments like Sami Zayn reclaiming the WWE Championship and Damian Priest betraying R-Truth, yet no new qualifiers for the Money in the Bank matches emerged. Trick Williams declared his intention to compete for the briefcase, though his subsequent assault by Baron Corbin and Lil Yachty leaves his potential participation in jeopardy. WWE’s official promotional poster hints at some key players, including Williams, Iyo Sky, and Penta, although only two qualifiers are confirmed so far.

With five slots left open in each ladder match, upcoming qualifiers have been scheduled for the next Raw episode. The men’s qualifier sees Big Cass, Je’Von Evans, and Austin Theory battling for a place, while the women’s match contenders include Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, and Raquel Rodriguez. Industry speculation favors Je’Von Evans and Raquel Rodriguez as likely participants, given storyline momentum and character arcs, though Austin Theory’s past Money in the Bank success leaves the door open for his return.

The event promises a blend of established talent and rising stars, with the Money in the Bank briefcase often serving as a springboard for dramatic title changes. Breakker and Ruca’s qualifying wins set the stage, but the remaining contenders must capitalize on their chances. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see who emerges as “Mr.” and “Ms. Money in the Bank” at this pivotal annual WWE showcase.
