WWE Money In The Bank 2026: Every potential winner ranked

WWE

With WWE Money In The Bank just around the corner, most of the field for this year’s match is now confirmed.

This year’s match is relatively unpredictable, with a number of potential winners already from the confirmed line up.

Here is every potential 2026 men’s Money In The Bank winner ranked from least to most likely.

8) Je’von Evans

With his high flying offence and exciting presence, Je’von Evans was a no brainer to feature in this year’s men’s Money In The Bank ladder match.

At just 22 years old, Evans has his whole career ahead of him, with him almost certainly set to win a world title in the future.

However, it is relatively unlikely that he takes home the briefcase this year.

7) Johnny Gargano

This is being written before the October 2 episode of SmackDown, where the final qualifying match will take place between Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano.

Of the three men in the match, Gargano is the least likely to take home the briefcase, though him being in the match would be a great moment for him.

Johnny is currently in a story with the WWE Champion, but it’s not likely that he wins the briefcase this year.

6) CM Punk

CM Punk has the chance to make history in New Orleans, with him potentially set to become the first wrestler in history to win the briefcase for a third time.

While recent years have shown that WWE is not afraid to give the briefcase to an already established top star, Punk’s presence in the match this year will likely simply be to add star power instead of him actually winning.

5) Cody Rhodes

In a very similar manner to CM Punk, if Cody is to qualify for the Money In The Bank this year, he will likely also solely be in the match to add star power to the line up.

Randy Orton has previously said he will not allow Cody to become WWE Champion again, so him appearing to cost Cody would be the obvious play.

4) Kevin Owens

The third man in next week’s final qualifier, it has now been a decade since Kevin Owens last reigned as a world champion in WWE.

With Sami Zayn winning two WWE Titles this year, it seems now more than ever that the door is once again open for Owens to get a second title run of his own.

Owens winning the briefcase and cashing in on Sami seems fairly likely.

3) Trick Williams

After losing the United States Championship to Baron Corbin at SummerSlam, reports emerged that WWE was considering Trick Williams an early favourite for this year’s Money In The Bank.

However, Trick has now regained the title, even ending his rivalry with Corbin on this week’s episode of SmackDown.

While there is still a decent chance Trick wins the case, there are two other names that seem more likely right now.

2) Penta

Penta has become one of the most popular names in the entire company recently, with his World Heavyweight Championship clash with Roman Reigns in Mexico City being a true breakout performance for him.

Following the match, WWE is potentially considering a rematch between the two, and considers Penta a future World Champion, with him being a ‘heavy favourite’ to win the briefcase.

While Penta winning would make for a great moment, this year’s match seems set up for a different winner.

1) Bron Breakker

The recent rivalry between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker was made to spotlight two men that WWE considers the future of the company.

Bron’s return to the spotlight on Raw has come at the perfect time as Money In The Bank rolls around on the calendar.

Bron Breakker’s rise to world champion will likely be fulfilled this year.
