WWE Money in the Bank 2026 takes place on Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, featuring two six-person ladder matches for custom briefcases that grant championship opportunities within the next year. The fields are officially complete following qualifying matches on recent episodes of Raw and SmackDown.
The event begins at 6 p.m. ET, streaming live on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S. and on Netflix in most international markets. Competitors across both brackets include established world champions, current titleholders, and rising developmental talents.
Men and Women Locked In for New Orleans Ladder Matches
The full lineup for the men’s ladder match: Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Penta, CM Punk, and Kevin Owens. Breakker qualified by defeating Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page on the Sept. 7 episode of Raw, followed by Evans defeating Big Cass and Austin Theory on Sept. 14, and Williams beating Randy Orton and Rey Fenix on the Sept. 18 episode of SmackDown.
Penta secured his spot by defeating Dragon Lee and Dominik Mysterio on the Sept. 21 Raw, while Punk defeated Gunther and Finn Bálor on the Sept. 25 SmackDown. Owens claimed the final men’s spot on a Friday episode by defeating Cody Rhodes and Johnny Gargano in a triple-threat match, as detailed.
The women’s ladder match features Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend, and Tiffany Stratton. Ruca qualified by defeating Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri on Sept. 7, Vice defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan on Sept. 14, and Jayne beat Alexa Bliss and Jade Cargill on Sept. 18. Perez earned her place by winning a Triple Threat over Iyo Sky and La Catalina on Sept. 21, Legend defeated Charlotte Flair and Giulia on Sept. 25, and Stratton secured the final spot by defeating Tatum Paxley and Candice LeRae.
Contenders and Obstacles Shaping the Briefcase Odds
Penta enters the men’s match as an internal favorite backed by prominent positioning on Raw and recent momentum from a title match against Roman Reigns. Punk represents a major threat after defeating Gunther and Finn Bálor on SmackDown, while Williams carries the United States Championship into the match, presenting a dual-title management scenario for WWE. Breakker and Evans offer youth and athleticism as potential breakout winners.
Perez is another strong contender given her previous ladder match experience and her victory over Iyo Sky and La Catalina, while Legend serves as a potent spoiler due to her size and qualifying wins over Charlotte Flair and Giulia. Jayne carries the Women’s United States Championship, making her a tougher sell as a dual-prize winner, while Ruca and Vice bring high athletic upside to the New Orleans bout.
