A spoiler for WWE Money in the Bank 2026’s main event may have arisen by way of Roman Reigns’ upcoming schedule for October and November.

Two days on from Roman Reigns’ return to WWE Raw this past Monday (October 6), WWE publicly confirmed what appearances “The OTC” will be making in October and November after the October 10 Money in the Bank premium live event has come and gone.

Below is a full list of the seven dates Reigns has been confirmed to be making, which include appearances at WWE’s next two PLEs: Crown Jewel and Survivor Series:

October 19 – WWE Raw in San Diego, CA

November 2 – WWE Raw & SmackDown taping in Brooklyn, NY

November 7 – WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, KSA

November 9 – WWE Raw in Greenville, SC

November 23 – WWE Raw & SmackDown taping in Wichita, KS

November 28 – WWE Survivor Series in Houston, TX

November 30 – WWE Raw in North Little Rock, AR

What these dates tell us

So, it appears as if Reigns will be very active indeed over the next two months, something that obviously doesn’t bode all that well for his Money in the Bank 2026 challenger LA Knight.

“The Megastar” has long been a fan favorite with his followers hoping that WWE will finally pull the trigger and give him his first World Heavyweight Championship win this Saturday in New Orleans.

As much hope as there is, it doesn’t really stretch beyond that, as even his most die hard fans aren’t realistically expecting him to dethrone Reigns when a WrestleMania 43 main event blockbuster against Oba Femi is on the table.

While this schedule is by no means absolute confirmation that Reigns will be retaining, would WWE be booking him for Crown Jewel – an event that’s entire identity is based off world champion vs. world champion matches – if “The OTC” was losing his gold at Money in the Bank? Likely not.

Sure, he could always be doing something else at the event, like facing Royce Keys of the 946 for example, but again, that feels like a reach.

A very avoidable potential spoiler of this Saturday’s top match

The frustrating thing is WWE surely could have just not confirmed all of Reigns post-Money in the Bank dates right now; he was absent from an official Crown Jewel poster, which casted some, frankly well needed doubt on his appearance at the event, despite reports suggesting he would be facing Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn at the show.

Reigns had already been featured on Survivor Series promotional material so confirming he is at that show isn’t too much of a tell regarding his future as World Heavyweight Champion, especially when the event is focused on WarGames more than the title.

Money in the Bank is only a few days away, so WWE surely could have just held off on this announcement a little longer. While not an outright spoiler, most fans are taking it as such given the abundance of dates for Reigns.

Unless this is all a red herring, it certainly appears as if Saturday, October 10 will once again not be LA Knight’s crowning moment in WWE.
