WWE heel turns at Money in the Bank 2026: Two babyface stars to shock the world in New Orleans

WWE

After over two months without a traditional WWE premium live event, Money in the Bank 2026 should provide fans a night of twists and turns.

As well as potential Money in the Bank cash-ins we could see some names on the roster make the decision to shake things up for themselves by abandoning the fans and/or bringing an end to popular alliances.

Here are two babyface stars that could potentially turn heel at WWE Money in the Bank 2026:

Jey Uso

The headline match on the WWE Money in the Bank 2026 card will see Roman Reigns defend his World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight.

“The Megastar” has been waiting three years to right the wrongs of Crown Jewel 2023, and finally defeat “The OTC” clean in the middle of a WWE ring.

With Reigns proving he doesn’t need The Bloodline throughout this World Heavyweight Title run, Knight should have no outside interference to worry about this time around, but that’s certainly not a guarantee either.

Considering the carnage they’re causing with The Bloodline on Raw, it doesn’t make sense for 946 to leave Roman Reigns alone at Money in the Bank and we could see them be the deciding factor in who leaves New Orleans as World Heavyweight Champion. Or at least that’s what would be expected.

Speculation about a member of The Bloodline revealing themselves to be a part of 946 has been prevalent since the group debuted in late August, however, all of the fingers were firmly being pointed in Jacob Fatu’s direction.

With Fatu being run over by 946’s newest recruit Jaida Parker, it’s hard to see a scenario where “The Samoan Werewolf” is still an undercover spy in The Bloodline, but it certainly could be Jey Uso.

Jey has also been the victim of 946 beatdowns but that was before Jaida Parker joined the group. Jey was clearly rocked internally when he was Parker show up on Raw last week, and now that she’s aligned with 946 he will certainly be more than a little conflicted.

Ultimately romance may prevail over family in the end, with Parker getting in Jey’s ear, she could convince him to leave The Bloodline behind and cost Reigns the World Heavyweight Title in New Orleans.

Tiffany Stratton

The October 2 WWE SmackDown saw Tiffany Stratton take up the final spot in the 2026 women’s Money in the Bank ladder match when she defeated Tatum Paxley and Candice LeRae.

With the win, Stratton can now look ahead to potentially making history on October 10 by becoming the first-ever two-time women’s Money in the Bank winner.

While she has outlined her plans to head to Raw and prey on the WWE Women’s World Champion, we can all sense a backstab will instead be coming Chelsea Green’s way.

Stratton turning on Green may even happen in New Orleans, and it won’t even require the WWE Women’s Champion to be in action.

Green could potentially accompany Stratton to the ring, or show up in the match’s closing stages to will on her friend. However, in the post match, Stratton would then blindside her friend and seize her opportunity right there and then.

As much as fans love a Money in the Bank cash-in, Green is massively popular, so Stratton pulling this off will be sure to garner her some real heat heading towards the end of 2026.
