6 Debuts At WWE Money In The Bank 2026

WWE

On October 10, WWE Money In The Bank returns for the 2026 event, which will take place from New Orleans, Louisiana.

With this show happening at a different time of the year from the past, the company could bring more attention to the premium live event by having some new stars make their main roster debut on the show.

From former NXT Champions to those who have shown the most potential, these debuting stars may solidify themselves on Raw and SmackDown by arriving on the next stage at Money In The Bank this year.

Here are six potential debuts at WWE Money In The Bank 2026.

6. Tatum Paxley

Over the past year, Tatum Paxley has found herself earning success by winning championship gold.

Paxley is now a former NXT Women’s Champion and Women’s North American Champion, making her one of the most decorated female stars in recent memory on the brand.

After losing the NXT Women’s North American Championship to Zaria, Paxley was defeated by Kelani Jordan and attacked by the debuting Reina Volcan.

Following several weeks away from the NXT brand, Paxley could make her presence felt in WWE again at the Money In The Bank 2026 premium live event and start to make an impact on the main roster scene.

5. Izzi Dame

Another WWE NXT star who has grown greatly over the past year is Izzi Dame.

The brains behind The Culling has showcased her smarts and what makes her a mastermind over the past year.

With her look, size and ability, Dame has a lot to offer to either Raw or SmackDown for the foreseeable future.

Seeing her potential, Dame could be an impressive talent for WWE to bring up and have made her debut potentially in the Women’s Money In The Bank at the titular event on October 10.

4. The Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes & Myka Lockwood)

Signing with the WWE ID program from the start, Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes had all made their way to the company and created a bond with one another.

After teaming on the first episode of WWE Evolve, Drake, Baylor and Smokes would form the faction known as The Vanity Project, which led to Jackson becoming the first ever Evolve Men’s Champion.

Following their move to the WWE NXT brand, The Vanity Project then captured the NXT Tag Team Championships and added Myka Lockwood as their muscle.

Now that they have lost the titles, it might be time for the entire Vanity Project to move up to the big time and make their debut as a unit at the WWE Money In The Bank 2026 premium live event.

3. Kelani Jordan

Kelani Jordan has become one of the stalwarts of the WWE NXT women’s division over the past few years.

After signing as a NIL acquisition, Jordan made history by becoming the first ever NXT Women’s North American Champion.

Adding to her accolades, Jordan would then go on to become the TNA Knockouts World Champion as well.

While her focus is on the NXT Women’s Championship right now, Kelani Jordan has shown the world why she is ready for the next stage of her career and could get that main roster callup as soon as WWE Money In The Bank 2026.

2. Lola Vice

At WWE Great American Bash 2026, Kendal Grey defeated Lola Vice to win the NXT Women’s Championship.

Not resting on her laurels one bit, Vice would go on to defeat Kali Armstrong and Kelani Jordan to become the number one contender for the title once again.

Despite the bout being a NXT Underground Match, Vice came up short against Grey and seemingly said farewell to the fans at the Performance Center.

Vice finally getting called up to the main roster feels long overdue and could see her thrust herself into title contention by making her official debut in the Women’s Money In The Bank at the WWE Money In The Bank 2026 event from New Orleans.

1. Tony D’Angelo

It feels like so long ago that WWE NXT made the change to the 2.0 era and introduced several new stars to the brand.

One of those stars happened to be Tony D’Angelo, who has become one of the cornerstones of the brand over the past several years.

D’Angelo is now the first ever WWE NXT Grand Slam Champion, holding every single title available to him over the past five years with the brand.

If he is set to lose his gold to either Grayson Waller or Cruz Montana in the near future, it could set the stage for Tony D to make the long overdue jump up to the main roster with a debut at WWE Money In The Bank 2026.
