On Saturday, October 10, WWE will return for their next premium live event, Money In The Bank 2026, from New Orleans, Louisiana.

Considering this is one of their biggest shows of the year, there could be a star studded card on deck for the fans in NOLA.

From the Men’s and Women’s Money In The Bank to some noteworthy title bouts, the lineup for this year’s Money In The Bank will hold a ton of significance and totally shake the foundation of the company.

Here are our potential predictions for the card for WWE Money In The Bank 2026.

Undisputed WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Kevin Owens

Despite following similar paths through the independent scene (albeit at different times), Kevin Owens and CM Punk have never faced off in their careers.

At WWE SummerSlam 2026 Saturday, CM Punk defeated Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship thanks to outside interference from the returning Randy Orton.

Punk did not have to wait long before finding out who he will defend his gold against next coming out of this weekend.

On WWE SummerSlam 2026 Sunday, Kevin Owens made his return after over a year on the shelf following neck fusion surgery to defeat Sami Zayn, GUNTHER and Finn Balor to become the new number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

In what will be a first time ever meeting, Owens will prove to be a tough test for Punk and could make for the headline bout at the WWE Money In The Bank 2026 card.

WWE Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Stephanie Vaquer

Liv Morgan has stood atop of Monday Night Raw since beating Stephanie Vaquer to win the WWE Women’s World Championship at WWE WrestleMania 42 Night One.

Following Mania, Morgan and The Judgment Day jumped Vaquer, causing a serious shoulder injury for ‘La Primera.’

After months on the sidelines, recent reports have indicated that Vaquer could be on her way back to the squared circle.

This should set the stage for a Mania rematch between Morgan and Vaquer for the WWE Money In The Bank premium live event from New Orleans.

Becky Lynch vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Sol Ruca vs. Blake Monroe vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez  – Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match

Naomi won the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match in 2025 and later successfully cashed in on IYO SKY.

The women’s division will be on full display at WWE Money In The Bank 2026 with the ladies showcasing their abilities in the high risk ladder match to determine who has possession of the prestigious briefcase.

Looking at the WWE women’s scene, there are a variety of names who could be in contention for an opportunity in the Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Coming off the heels of her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title loss, Becky Lynch should be someone who wants in this bout. Meanwhile, the likes of Tiffany Stratton, Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, Roxanne Perez and Blake Monroe can bring the youth to this contest.

With some of the young stars in the company, the Women’s Money In The Bank could go any direction with many of these names being favorites to win this year.

Seth Rollins vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Penta vs. Royce Keys vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Trick Williams – Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match

On the other end of the spectrum, the Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match might have a wider range of talent on display.

After WWE SummerSlam 2026, the Money In The Bank might be the only way for Seth Rollins to fight his way back into contention for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Another pair of stars who walked away from SummerSlam with a loss that could compete in the Money In The Bank are Penta and Trick Williams.

With the likes of Solo Sikoa, Royce Keys and Je’Von Evans all hungry for a major opportunity, the Men’s Ladder Match could prove to be one of the better iterations of this stipulation ever.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Chad Gable (c) vs. Ethan Page

At WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night Two, Chad Gable defeated Penta to win the Intercontinental Championship.

Winning his first singles title in WWE, Gable was able to get this achievement in front of his hometown of Minneapolis and his family.

On Monday Night Raw, Gable has been feuding with Ethan Page and Rusev in their efforts to get a WWE Intercontinental Title opportunity.

‘All Ego’ earning a shot at the IC Championship would make for an intriguing title contest for the WWE Money In The Bank 2026 premium live event.

Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill – No Holds Barred Match

Jade Cargill and Charlotte Flair have yet to wrestle in a one-on-one match in WWE.

Over the past few months, Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill have been feuding with one another in one of the most intense current feuds in WWE.

Back on the July 10 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Cargill defeated Alexa Bliss. Post match, Michin and B-Fab held Flair to watch as Jade broke Alexa’s arm with a steel chair.

Since then, Flair was hellbent on getting revenge on Cargill and company regardless of the circumstances.

This thing could all come to a head with Flair facing Cargill in a No Holds Barred Match in New Orleans on the WWE Money In The Bank 2026 card.

Undisputed WWE Women’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Chelsea Green (c)

Chelsea Green’s Interim WWE Women’s Title win was the first time she’s captured a world championship in WWE.

Following WWE Clash in Italy 2026, it was revealed that Rhea Ripley had suffered a torn meniscus that has had her sidelined for weeks.

Wanting to give ‘Mami’ time to recover, the company has decided to crown an Interim WWE Women’s Champion to potentially face Ripley to determine the undisputed titleholder.

At WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night Two, Chelsea Green defeated Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton to win the Ladder Match and become the new Interim WWE Women’s Champion.

The WWE Money In The Bank premium live event could feature this title unification match between Ripley and Green to determine one undisputed champion.

Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton – Last Man Standing Match

Randy Orton’s appearance at WWE SummerSlam 2026 was his first since losing to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Night One.

After losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42 Night One, Randy Orton has been absent from WWE television over the past few months.

However, Orton made his presence felt once again by returning to deliver a RKO to Rhodes during his Undisputed WWE Championship match against CM Punk at SummerSlam 2026 Night One.

With several months on the sidelines, it seems like Orton is looking to avenge his Mania loss against his former friend.

Considering all of their history and animosity, Orton facing Rhodes in a Last Man Standing Match could be the most brutal and violent match at WWE Money In The Bank 2026 on October 10.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. LA Knight

In recent months, there has been no one on the WWE roster who has been more vocal about their disdain for The Bloodline than LA Knight.

Almost every week on Monday Night Raw, Knight comes out to talk trash about Roman Reigns and his family.

This led to WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night One where Knight, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys defeated Jacob Fatu and The Usos in a six-man tag team match.

After scoring a pinfall win over former World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso at SummerSlam, Knight should be next in line for a shot at Reigns’ gold at WWE Money In The Bank 2026 in New Orleans.
