WWE
The 17th annual WWE Money in the Bank premium live event heads to the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans tonight, and as always, the show presents several landscape-changing possibilities.
Here is our full preview and predictions for the entire WWE Money in the Bank card, with bettings odds provided throughout courtesy of Paddy Power.
WWE Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match – Tiffany Stratton vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Lash Legend vs. Lola Vice vs. Sol Ruca vs. Jacy Jayne

Only Tiffany Stratton has been world champion before in the field for this year’s women’s Money in the Bank match.
Considering what may or may not happen later in the night, it feels like the best choice for the opening contest on Saturday night is the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Of the field, three names stand out as potential winners: Lash Legend, Roxanne Perez and Tiffany Stratton.
Legend is someone WWE clearly has high hopes for as she is consistently booked strong, but her dominant display on the October 9 SmackDown may have been a little too overwhelming for WWE to once again book her to stand tall in New Orleans.
Perez and Stratton both have potential betrayals ahead of them should they win Money in the Bank, with the former potentially snatching the Women’s World Title from under Judgment Day stablemate Liv Morgan’s nose, and Stratton turning her back on best friend Chelsea Green.
Both are intriguing options, but Perez gets the nod as it could lead to another show-stealing moment in New Orleans that could alter Judgment Day’s future significantly.
Prediction: Roxanne Perez
Betting favorite: Roxanne Perez (1/2)
Bronson Reed vs. Oba Femi

Oba Femi has only taken one pin on main roster thus far, with Brock Lesnar beating him at WWE Clash in Italy.
A true hoss fight if there ever was one, Oba Femi vs. Bronson Reed will be a lot of fun and should showcase both men’s dominance well.
However, unfortunately for Reed, only one man can win and it’s highly unlikely WWE do another DQ finish after doing so for Femi vs. Bron Breakker last month at Sunday Night’s Main Event.
Oba Femi mustn’t really lose at all before he eventually takes the World Heavyweight Championship, so expect “The Ruler” to pick up the win here.
Prediction: Oba Femi
Betting favorite: Oba Femi (3/10)
WWE Women’s World Championship – Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch

Stephanie Vaquer won her second WWE Women’s World Title in her home country of Chile at a live event on September 12
As was heavily implied earlier when discussing the women’s Money in the Bank, WWE has the opportunity to pull off a rare same-night cash-in when Stephanie Vaquer defends her Women’s World Title against Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch.
Whether it’s during or after the match, Roxanne Perez could take her opportunity and snatch the Women’s World Title for herself; leading to massive repercussions for her status in Judgment Day.
If the cash-in comes after the match then it should be Morgan who wins the three-way, but it seems a bit more likely that WWE will go for the mid-match cash-in to leave a bit of ambiguity as to whether Perez has outright betrayed Judgment Day or not.
Prediction: Roxanne Perez
Betting favorite: Stephanie Vaquer (4/9)
WWE Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match – Penta vs. CM Punk vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Kevin Owens vs. Trick Williams vs. Bron Breakker

CM Pnk could become the first three-time WWE Money in the Bank winner if he claims the briefcase in New Orleans.
Much like the women’s ladder match it feels as if the men’s Money in the Bank briefcase could be claimed by a number of stars; with a few being slightly ahead in the pecking order.
Of the field Bron Breakker arguably needs the win the most, while Penta has by far the greatest amount of momentum heading into this weekend.
Veteran stars CM Punk and Kevin Owens will likely take each other out of the equation given their heated rivalry, while this year’s match may be coming slightly too soon for both Je’Von Evans and Trick Williams.
The odds say Bron Breakker is the favorite, but it feels like WWE may have had their heads turned by Penta’s display in Mexico City against Roman Reigns; enough that they’re willing to name him Mr. Money in the Bank.
Prediction: Penta
Betting favorite: Bron Breakker (6/5)
WWE World Heavyweight Championship – Roman Reigns (c) vs. LA Knight

Roman Reigns and LA Knight’s last one-on-one title match came at WWE Crown Jewel 2023
This is it for LA Knight. Will he finally get the job done and win his first World Heavyweight Championship? Or will he go back to square one yet again after another major defeat?
Sadly, all signs point towards the latter. “The Megastar” has all the momentum and positive fan sentiment, and if it was against any other champion it may very well be his time to climb to the top of the mountain. But this isn’t any other champion, this is WWE’s most protected name when it comes to wins and losses of the last decade plus. This is Roman Reigns, and Roman Reigns has a date with Oba Femi at WrestleMania 43.
It’s hard to see WWE giving anyone the luxury of beating “The OTC” before Femi does in Riyadh next year, as they (perhaps rightfully) won’t want anything diminishing the Nigerian’s accomplishment.
Unfortunately that means that LA Knight will once again have to go to the back of the line; a familiar story, but one that may finally spell the end for his chances of becoming world champion.
Prediction: Roman Reigns
Betting favorite: Roman Reigns (1/4)
